The Runaway Groom Chapter 902
Ricky's whole body was trembling as he rasped, "Who's the father?"Lulu walked up to him but did not answer, instead asking, "Were you involved in that trafficking ring?"Ricky's eyes, however, were red and fixed on her. "Did you kiss and make up with Zachary?"Martin's fork paused just as he was about to reach for another meatball, but he soon carried on as if he heard nothing.At the same time, Lulu was staring patiently at Ricky. "Don't worry about me. You have to tell me everything right now, so that I know how to help you—""Hah!" Ricky snorted. "You're going to help me? How? Can you bend the law to your will?!"Lulu put a hand on his shoulder. "Ricky…""Don't say my name!" Ricky bellowed in agitation.Martin looked up then. "You don't have to talk if you don't want to do it. Lulu, you can go now."Lulu turned to him. "Martin, give me some time…""Don't you see that he's being hostile?" Martin pointed out. "You won't come to an agreement with him anytime soon."Ricky th

The glow in Lulu's eyes slowly faded. She murmured, "But… is he still going to prison?""That's inevitable, but it's better than being executed." Martin sighed, then turned to Ricky. "What do you think?"Lulu turned to Ricky too. "Ricky…""I'll do it," Ricky said very calmly. He knew how grave his crimes were, and no matter what he did to atone, he would not be free from punishment.In fact, Martin's idea was the best."Go home. Leave the rest to me," Martin said, helping her out of the interrogation room.Lulu understood that she would cause trouble for Martin if he stayed too long as well, and she was certainly not worried with him in charge.Even so…She turned toward Ricky, who pursed his lips and smiled. "You should go."With that, Lulu left the interrogation room, and Martin walked with her out of the precinct."I can't go yet," he told her. "But you haven't slept well, have you? Try to get some sleep. I'll buy breakfast when I get home.""It's fine," Lulu said. "Wha

Smiling, Martin said, "You're being overly sentimental. That's why you feel shackled."Lulu smiled too. "Is that flattery I hear?""Not really," Martin replied earnestly. "Being too sentimental isn't good, because you'll be easily affected by everyone and everything around you. I find that to live unconstrained, a clear mind is needed first and foremost."Lulu frowned. Did that not mean said person would become too unsentimental? A person should at least have a couple of people they cared about, should they not?Watching Martin just then, she said, "If you're that calm, I guess you'll remarry right after I die. All women are the same, aren't they?"Martin was speechless for a moment and stared back at her. "How did you manage to warp my words that badly?"Lulu laughed. "I'm just kidding, You should look at your face."Seeing that she was laughing, Martin laughed too. Her smile was fake back when they first got married, but he could feel that it was earnest now.He happily p

Lulu replied, "Yeah, it's serious."Irene heaved a deep sigh. "How bad is it?""He's involved in murder," Lulu said shortly.Irene's face fell, and she quickly sat down with her baby since her legs suddenly caved. The baby was not staying put, however, and was flailing around, clapping her cheek one moment and grabbing her hair the next."I just want you to be prepared, Irene," Lulu said then. "That's why I'm telling you this. Martin will do his best to help Ricky too.""I'm counting on both of you," Irene replied. "Try to help him whenever possible. I can't go over there right now, with both my children here and Isaac gone…""Don't worry," Lulu assured her. "Martin and I will do our best.""Yeah," Irene murmured softly. "Thank you.""It's fine," Lulu told her.Hanging up, Irene carried her baby back into the mansion, but it seemed that he was reluctant, and he started crying as soon as they stepped inside.As such, she had to stay outside and keep teaching him how to walk.

James did not dare to look at Irene, let alone answer her.It was not as if he refused to offer her any comfort.The truth was that he did not come straight to Irene after he was informed about Isaac's plane crashing, but instead, he sent anyone they had over to the scene immediately. They in turn confirmed the plane had crashed within Dunesia borders, and just before James arrived at the hilltop mansion, he was further informed that they found the wreckage on Darcy's Peak, the highest peak of the country. It was common knowledge that while airplanes were the safest way to travel, a crash was always lethal!That was why he did not dare to give Irene an answer—her disappointment would be worse if he gave her hope!Fortunately, Irene waved him off feebly. "I get it. Just make the arrangements… Can you get us out before sundown?""Yes," James replied. Irene took her baby back from James just then, but it felt like her chest was hollowed out—as if her heart was taken away. She

Eagle was not startled by Irene suddenly regaining consciousness. Instead, he quietly said, "It's good to have you back, ma'am."Irene's eyes focused on him just then. "What happened to me?""You were unconscious," Eagle told her.Irene scanned around the room as she slowly remembered what happened and started to sit up. Seeing that she was still frail, Eagle reached out to help her, but she waved him off. "It's alright."She could sit up on her own.Eagle paused and withdrew his hands, clasping them over his back as he usually did.Looking at him just then, Irene murmured, "Eagle…""Yes, ma'am. Just say the word, and I'll get it done," Eagle replied respectfully."There's something I need you to do," Irene said. "But I have another request before that.""I'm listening, ma'am.""Can you come with me to Franconia?" Irene asked. Since Isaac was the one who hired Eagle, they must have signed an agreement beforehand.However, she did not know if Eagle could escort her to Fra

As Irene strode into the elevator, James followed her like he usually did with Isaac."Mrs. Jefferson." Some of the employees in the building greeted Irene when she passed them.Irene would respond with a small nod and a faint smile.Then, arriving outside Isaac's office, she said a little too loudly, "James, inform everyone that we will be having a meeting soon."And with that, she headed inside Isaac's office right away. Having heard that, some of the employees slid up to James, asking, "Mr. Cross? Is Mrs. Jefferson really calling for a meeting? What's going on here?""Mr. Jefferson mentioned before that she would start learning management of the company," he replied. "She'll probably announce that at the meeting and properly introduce herself.""Really?" someone exclaimed softly. "But isn't she the director of Hotmesh Research? I just saw the video of her being interviewed days ago. It had a lot of views.""She resigned," James said."I see!" Someone else came up, butting

James brought Irene a chair as well, and after she sat down, she said with an even tone, "There's no cause to worry, everyone, and you can be candid too. I'm not here to take a job, and I actually don't know a thing about managing this company, so I'm just here to learn. There would probably be plenty of things which I'd need everyone's instructions and guidance for."It was just the right tone of voice to indicate the purpose of the meeting."You're giving us too much credit, ma'am."Everyone was already aware of that since James had already told them, and no one was about to provoke her when she was their boss's wife. In fact, they were perfectly respectful since she was not throwing her weight around, and she spoke with such earnestness that there was nothing much to nitpick.Smiling, Irene continued, "Isaac has told me that you're all the backbone of the company, and that I'll definitely learn something from everyone here. But I resigned to take care of my family, so I'll onl
