The Runaway Groom Chapter 838
Over at Jefferson Manor, Henry Jefferson's funeral was over, and it was now time to deal with Ian Jefferson.Once James learned that Ian was the one who sent those thugs from before, he unleashed all his fury and indignation on Ian.Isaac's phone happened to ring at the time, and as he took it out to answer it, James's fist landed squarely on the bridge of Ian's nose, shattering it and making him scream.Irene heard it even as Isaac started to head outside."Yeah?"Irene was relieved to hear him answer. "What was that?""Just James venting," he flatly replied.Irene quickly understood what had happened and did not ask anything else."I might be home late tonight," he added."Oh," Irene murmured. "Actually, I was just going to tell you that there's no one at home. We're all out.""I see. Head home soon, though.""Okay.""Shall I hang up now?" Isaac asked after a brief silence."Okay."…As they alighted, Tommy held Irene's hand as they headed into the mansion, saying, "I'

Obviously, the sleeping gown Irene was wearing had no pants either. She smiled faintly, and even that expression seemed to have an additional tinge of coquettishness. "Yeah. Want some?"For the first time, Isaac was being teased.His dark eyes twinkled as he smiled, and his voice was as quiet as it was deep. "Yeah."Hence, Irene watched him as she tipped off her outer gown with her fingers, breathing tenderly and alluringly, "You have to catch it, or it'd get dirty if it drops on the floor."Isaac could not stop himself from smiling.Did she take the wrong meds today?"Alright, I'll catch it," he said.The black silk gown slithered off Irene's body then, baring her fair skin. The straps clinging on her shoulders were so thin they looked like they would snap at any moment, its soft texture hugging her slender but curvaceous figure. She smiled. "I'm throwing it down now." She held the gown over the railing, and it would fall once she loosened her fingers! Isaac raised his

The voice on the other end asked, "Can we meet?"Irene sat up right then. "Sure.""9 AM, Hot Island Coffee.""Sure," Irene replied right away.She got out of bed once the other person hung up, while Isaac asked, "Who was it?""I think it's Dennis Turner's family, asking to withdraw the lawsuit… And they were just threatening me yesterday, but now they're giving up? Do you think it's a trap?" she said even as she got dressed.Isaac stayed in bed and lay on his side, watching as she got dressed. "Just go see them."Irene turned around. "Hmm. Maybe they found their conscience?""Maybe. Are you happy?" Isaac asked.Irene nodded. "As long as they're willing to be reasonable."She was not hurting anyone in the first place—she wanted to save Dennis from the start, but ended up being sued! One could imagine how she would feel!Now that the tides were turning, she was certainly pleased.After getting dressed and washing up briskly, she started to leave.Isaac frowned. "You're lea

Although Irene had an idea what it might be, she asked, "What is it? Is the director's condition improving?" Ray nodded. "Yes—in fact, he just woke up, and they just sent him for a checkup."Irene flinched a little in surprise.Dennis Turner woke up—he woke up! That meant she saved him!Though she wanted to laugh, she could not.Everything that happened over the last few days—from the misunderstanding, to being taken to court—had taken its toll on her!But now, she finally had hope!Nonetheless, Ray told her, "I've taken a look at him already. He's doing fine—there probably won't be any issues."Irene smiled and nodded, but she was not relieved—not until she saw Dennis with her own eyes. Ray seemed to read her mind. He said, "Think positive. He's awake, and that means your problems are over, just like that."That certainly was the case—they would not be harassing her relentlessly after this. "Yeah," Irene said. "You should go back to work. I'll be waiting here for a wh

Neil's face contorted with rage. "You devious witch."Irene, however, was unmoved—she had seen through Neil's true nature and she was not interested in being petty like him!Dennis, however, almost passed out again from sheer frustration toward his son! Pointing at him, he snapped, "Don't you know that I'd be dead if she didn't insist on operating on me?! She put everything on the line to save me, but you sued her instead of thanking her?! Who taught you to be such an ingrate, huh?!"Neil retorted stubbornly, "She broke regulation—""Do you think I'd be alive if she followed regulation?!" Dennis huffed. Irene simply stood in her corner, watching quietly.Ray, worried that Dennis would get a stroke again, quickly rubbed his back. "You just woke up—try to stay calm or it'd hamper your recovery. Just talk things out with him calmly."Then, he turned toward Neil and said, "I'm the one who told your father. In my opinion, you made a mistake, which was why I decided on my own to te

Although Irene tried to pretend she did not see him, Neil strode up to her and said, "Don't get so full of yourself. You're just lucky my dad is nice—anyone else would be giving you a hard time right now and not let you get off scot-free."Irene shot him a cool look. "It's like you're saying I should be thanking you for teaching me something.""No thanks necessary," he said, striding toward the ward while deliberately knocking into her on the shoulder. Irene remained where she was, but she had to admit that she had definitely learned her lesson.She had no idea if she would do the same if the same situation happened again—impulsive decisions only led to terrible consequences!She was lucky this one passed without further issue.Stepping outside the hospital, she looked up at the skies at the blinding sun. She had to narrow her eyes, but her lips were curling up into a faint smile.She started forward as Eagle brought the car, although a familiar car soon arrived and stopped b

Irene waved him off and said. "I'm fine. Probably just bad food. Get the car right now.""Where are we going?" Eagle asked."Back to the hospital," Finn said, answering on Irene's behalf since she looked really sick. Eagle quickly got the car without another question, while Finn helped Irene into it.As Eagle drove to the hospital, Finn asked in concern, "Are you alright?"Irene actually thought that her pain subsided since the initial pang. "Much better."Color was returning to her face as well. Heaving a sigh of relief, Finn said, "You must be under a lot of pressure lately. Maybe you were too anxious when you saw Director Turner faint?"Irene ran the possibilities through her mind.She did not eat anything cold or dirty, so it was not food.Maybe it was as Finn put it—she was under too much pressure. "Maybe!"Her stomachache completely faded when they reached the hospital.However, just as she alighted, James arrived and intercepted her, asking grimly, "What are you
The Runaway Groom Chapter 845
Irene put down her phone after sending the text and waited for a reply from Lulu.She would peek at the screen from time to time, but there was nothing…Even as she reclined against the couch, she wondered the possible causes of Dennis's death.Naturally, she could not come up with anything, and that only left her more frustrated!Still, as she scratched her head…her phone jingled with a notification.She quickly picked it up, and tapped on the screen to find a reply from Lulu: [How can I help?]Irene took a moment to consider her words: [Can you come back to Cloud City?]There was another long pause before a reply came: [Do I have to go back to help you?]Irene replied: [Yes.]Still, she became worried about troubling Lulu since she was married now. And since Lulu wanted to start over, Irene had even less reason to bother her. [Actually, I was just joking. I missed you, that's all.]Lulu, however, doubted that. [I know you, woman. I'll check if there's a bus.] Irene pu
