Before Zachary could react, the man continued pompously on the other end, "Not coming, are you? Just give us an address, and we'll send you one of his legs. How about that?""Lay a finger on him, and I'll cut you into pieces!" Zachary bellowed."Oh, really?" The man laughed smugly. "Why do I doubt that? Come to us if you dare—I'll wait."Zachary was at once stumped! He quickly hung up and set his phone to airplane mode in fear that the gang would trace his signal here.It was obvious that those gang members were serial criminals, and that meant they were capable of anything!And now, they had James! He paced around anxiously. What should they do? How were they going to save James?Still, she soon remembered that Isaac was the smartest among them, and they would need him to make the call.However… Zachary glanced at his bedroom then. Irene was shot, and although he got the bullet out, she needed time to recover.Isaac was blind.And Stan left to get a doctor and was n

Stan was slightly relieved to hear the doctor's words and walked up to ask, "Are you saying that treating it will be easy?""Relatively speaking, blindness caused by external factors should be easier to treat than blindness caused by illness," the doctor explained. "However, we need to find out what's actually causing his blindness first, to decide if it's treatable."The cause was certainly very important in treatment, though Stan became weary from the doctor's response.He thought then that everything the doctor said was pointless!Still, the doctor glanced at Stan and said, "Please keep it down. I'd rather not be disturbed while I examine the patient."Stan slid a peek at Isaac to see that the latter was pursing his lips and glowering. Stan promptly turned silent—another word, and Isaac would really get mad! The doctor opened Isaac's eye just then and held his flashlight in front of his pupils, asking, "Can you see this light?"Isaac could somewhat see it, but it was very

Isaac said, "Shut up if you don't have anything meaningful to say."Zachary was speechless for a moment, but he soon said, "Why are you so cold?""Why don't you leave?" Isaac said quietly.Zachary, however, stayed on the laptop and kept working. "Do you think you can send the map to the right email address if I do? You won't even find the toilet on your own without me around."He was certainly getting bold since Isaac was blind, and Isaac had no retort aside from bellowing angrily, "Get out!!!""No way." Zachary remained there stubbornly. "You can't do anything to me anyway."Isaac scowled. "You're full of it.""Actually, I'm famished," Zachary replied. "Come on. Let's go eat once I'm done sending the email—Pierre should have something ready by now. I'm so hungry I could die!" Isaac snorted coldly. "Still in the mood to eat? Can you actually stomach it?""I'd be worrying pointlessly now anyway," Zachary said, shrugging. "Since I can't do anything, I'll put my hopes on you ins

Zachary replied, "I did."Irene frowned. "Then why'd you say you don't know what happened to him?"Unable to hide it, Zachary said, "He might have been captured. Don't worry, though—Isaac has already asked people to find him."Irene remained worried. "Is he really going to be alright?"Zachary did not tell her about the phone conversation he had with that gang member, so that she would not worry too much."You're still hurt," he said instead. "You should be resting. Isaac and I will find James."After all, Irene was arching her back slightly even as she stood, and her face was pale—the bullet wound her shoulder must still hurt."Call me immediately when there's news," she rasped."Yeah. I'll go bring Erin over now," Zachary replied.Irene nodded, and Zachary turned to leave.Pierre approached her then. "Ma'am."Irene then saw a maid carrying a tray of food and said, "Just bring it to the dining room. I'll eat with everyone else.""Sure." Pierre gestured for the maid to leav

Irene understood that Isaac's hostile takeover over Smartville Tech was what led to the whole mess.When people are desperate and have nothing to lose, they would fight without holding anything back—even if it kills them!As the saying goes, "Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose."And none of this would have happened at all if not for the plane crash!"Yeah," Isaac replied."I'm going out later," Irene then said."Where to?" Isaac asked. "I need to cook up something so Erin will be willing to go back to Minerva. I'm afraid she'll find out something about James if she stays here with us," Irene told him."Your excuse might arouse her suspicion anyway," Isaac pointed out. "You're still injured, so you should stay here.""What if she asks about your blindness? What would you say here?" Irene asked."She must have heard about the plane crash, right?" Isaac asked in return.Irene shook her head. "She would not be here this late if she did. She doesn't know."Isaac w

Irene was left stumped. She stammered a little before saying, "The place he went to was remote and has poor cell signals…""He wouldn't let that stop him," Erin said, her eyes almost ablaze as she held Irene's gaze. "I hope you're not hiding anything from me, Irene."Irene was afraid to look Erin in the eye just then—she could not do it while lying to those exceedingly sharp eyes. "Why would I lie to you?" Irene said."But why did you bring me out here? To persuade me to go home?"Irene quickly denied it. "Of course not. You just came, so of course I'd like you to stay a few more days… but you can't stay because of work, right?""I applied for an extended leave," Erin replied. Irene was stumped. Erin was not so easily fooled. What should she do?Irene certainly did not know what to do just then. To make things worse, Erin suddenly said, "Let's go. Once we're done shopping, we can head to your place."And with that, Irene could not tell her to return to Minerva at all!

Did those men put something dangerous in the box?! Irene became nervous at the thought and told Pierre, "Get Stan and Zachary.""Also…" She then turned to Erin and Eagle and said solemnly, "You two should go inside."Eagle was the best fighter among them, and she would only be at ease if he was in the castle with Isaac and their children."Yes, ma'am," Eagle said and turned to Erin. "Let's go, Ms. Gooding."Erin pursed her lips, but she followed Eagle in the end.Irene did not dare to open the box alone, however, and waited until Stan and Zachary arrived.Pointing at the box, she said, "Two suspicious men brought that. I don't know what's in it, but it might be dangerous!"Stan and Zachary traded glances before Zachary turned back to Irene. "You should go inside."Irene nodded, and before she went into the castle, she turned and told them, "Be careful, both of you."Zachary waved her off. "Just go." Still, Irene was looking back from time to time before she headed in, whil
The Runaway Groom Chapter 959
Stan closed his eyes, afraid to look just then!As Zachary pulled the zipper, the sound seemed so loud it was deafening!Stan's lips were trembling, but he did not dare to make a sound.At the same time, Zachary opened the zipper and forced himself to see what he did not want to see. It was a leg, still soaked in blood.Thankfully, it was not an entire corpse.Zachary stared at it grimly. On the other hand, Stan had not been hearing anything for a while, and he slowly opened his eyes!He stumbled backward when he saw what it was.However, he was not so faint-hearted that mere gore would scare him.He was afraid that it was James's leg!"Our location is compromised," Zachary said quietly then.Stan nodded.The gangsters obviously had their address. That was how they sent this here."Doesn't that mean everyone is in danger?" Stan asked. Zachary did not respond to that. "Check whose leg it is. I'll tell Isaac."Stan nodded. "Okay."-In the castle, Irene could hear Er
