The Runaway Groom Chapter 295
Any idiot could have told that there would have been people watching Samantha even though she was transported to the prison. The only reason she had escaped was because someone well-connected got her out.Ricky was agitated even as he listened to the verdict. Seeing that his hands were balled into fists, Irene tried to assure him, "Just calm down.""I can't." Ricky wanted to stay calm too, but he could not—his mother was murdered, but they were now saying that she killed herself!Knowing the truth he was unable to accept the verdict… but he had no evidence either!Despite his knowledge, he could not do anything, leaving him utterly indignant!Irene sighed softly—she understood how he felt, and said nothing.He was going to need time after this.The verdict announcement ended soon enough, and they were allowed to take Samantha's body to bury it.Ricky left and Sheryl went with him, while Irene waited outside.That was when she saw a female journalist walking nearby. Though

Clearing her throat, Irene said, "You see, I'm the one who bought the graves next to our father's."She had been wary toward Samantha, though it was not to say that she was helping Sheryl retain her place as Lionel's legally married wife. After all, Sheryl was over Lionel, and Irene wanted her mother to live a long, fulfilling life—she did not want a grave for her so soon.In fact, Irene had bought it just because she did not want Samantha to be interred beside Lionel. On the other hand, it took Ricky a long while to actually realize what Irene meant. "You did that for Sheryl?""More or less," Irene said. "Huh." Rick sighed, realizing that he was too late. It seemed that he was not as smart as Irene, who showed foresight while he only thought about his mother's funeral matters now."You're really smart, Sis. Dad was right to leave Spencer Holdings in your care," he said.At that very moment, he was not actually jealous—instead, he was impressed with Irene's consideration. Sh

That was the reason why Quincy was so eager to have Ian take over as Light Group's CEO. After she cajoled Henry, it was inevitable that Ian was here today!And now that they had leverage against Isaac, Henry could actually be harsh with Isaac."What about you, Isaac? Do you have anything to say?"Isaac was busy pretending to be shocked and upset, as if he never expected this to happen. He even made a show of scolding Stan in front of everyone. "What do I pay you for? How could you let this document leak out?!""Sorry, sir… I don't know what happened either!" Stan exclaimed.Ian snorted coldly right then. "Just give it a rest already. This isn't the time for you to scold your boy for being incompetent—everyone would inevitably find out the moment you decided to keep this from us… To think that I always believed that you were above the rest, but I guess this is all you amounted to."Stan appeared upset and argued, "What are you talking about? Everyone makes mistakes, and don't yo

Irene replied, "When I went with Ricky to court, I saw this woman… Huh, maybe it's nothing." Some people just bear a striking resemblance with others, after all, and she did not want to add to Isaac's troubles since he was very busy at the moment.Nonetheless, Isaac frowned. "What is it? Aren't you going to finish your sentence?""Like I said, it's nothing." Irene laughed. "Anyway, we can put the matter aside after Samantha White's funeral tomorrow."Knock, knock.Irene had barely finished when someone knocked on her door."Come in," she said, and the door only opened at that.It was Stan, and he was carrying a box containing a mess of documents and random items. He put the box on the table before coming to them and said, "They appointed Ian Jefferson as CEO.""Yeah," Isaac grunted in acknowledgement—he was not surprised by the outcome. It was all part of his plan anyway, since Quincy would only let down her guard once he was gone from Light Group.Still, Stan felt indign

Turning his face so that half of it was buried in his pillow, Isaac said, "You can go if you want."Stan pursed his lips, understanding what was going on just then.Truly, what goes around comes around… to think that the day had come that Isaac was kept on a leash—and on a very tight leash at that! Despite what she said, Irene remained focused as she bandaged Isaac. "Stay here and rest."Isaac then took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "Come back soon. Have Stan stay with you."Irene nodded and left the ward.Stan was ready waiting outside."Let's go," she said. Stan quickly followed, appearing hesitant to speak his mind despite holding the car keys.Unable to stand his fidgeting, Irene said, "Just spit it already.""It's not much, but… I just wanted to say that you might be paranoid. Debbie and I are both indebted to Mr. Jefferson, and we're definitely loyal to him—""Why do you think I'm paranoid?" Irene asked in return, cutting him short.Stan became quiet since he had

Irene was not intimidated however, and asked nonchalantly, "Does this have anything to do with your insistence on staying?""I'm not your run-of-the-mill secretary in charge of answering calls, preparing for meetings, and other measly errands. I am always on standby, waiting for any instructions from Mr. Jefferson as well as planning his itinerary. I also have to keep a constant eye on any documents submitted by other departments and appraise them before getting Mr. Jefferson's signature. Since I have many tasks, I would always have to prioritize, but what I do is primarily to pave the way for my boss. If Mr. Jefferson isn't leaving the country, what would I even do there?"Debbie's words were prim and her message clear, and Irene patiently listened and waited until she was finished. "Oh, so you're mainly worried you have nothing to do over there?""Yes, that would be the case if Mr. Jefferson isn't there."Irene nodded and smiled. "What if I offered you a different position?"Deb
The Runaway Groom Chapter 301
Both Debbie and Spencer understood each other tacitly after their conversation!Stan was curious. "How did you convince her anyway?"Irene was not in the mood to answer, however. "Do you really have to gossip so much?"Stan chuckled—he was certainly eager to find out, but her response made it clear that she did not want to tell, so he should not ask.Soon, they returned to the hospital, and Irene headed inside.…"Mom, look at this." Ian, who was now appointed CEO of Light Group, was almost losing his mind after seeing report after report detailing their losses.Quincy was naturally scowling as well. "I know Isaac and what he's capable of. There shouldn't be this much loss…""Did he do this on purpose?" Ian was certainly surprised by the revelation that the seemingly vibrant and dominant exterior of Light Group hid an entity that was already at death's door.Quincy thought about it. "I don't think so—maybe Isaac just wanted to hide it from the board.""That just means he to

Any new leader tends to flex his newfound authority, and Ian was certainly doing that during his first meeting with his key personnel!Every head of department was sitting with clenched buttocks, afraid to make a sound. However, they were just wary of Ian since they were not familiar with him—with Isaac, they were earnestly reverent instead. Still, Ian was confident after his recent promotion."Starting with Finance, everyone will report any noteworthy events as well as department objectives over the last six months," he said proudly and formally from the chairing seat.However, his confidence proved a little excessive, as the Head of Finance rose to his feet and gave a lengthy account of everything the department saw through over the last six months.The long and short of it was that there was no income, only investments. "Here's everything on the projects and investments we oversaw in that timeframe," he said as he handed a thick document folder to Ian, who was scowling now
