All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

"I'm busy. Get back to work," Isaac snapped impatiently.Kathy, however, was still not giving up. "Your grandfather is asking us to go. He's probably—""I will talk to him myself," Isaac said and started to leave his office, heading to the conference room since he was reluctant to stay and talk to her.She quickly gave chase and asked, "Why are you being so cold to me?" Isaac wheeled on her, frowning. "What, giving you a job isn't enough? Am I supposed to take care of you for the rest of your life now?"Kathy was stumped for a moment, and she quickly explained, "No… I just heard from your grandfather that I saved you, and that's why you had my silver crucifix. I remember saving a drowning boy as a child, too—aren't you being a little cold to your savior?""Then what do you think I should do?" Isaac asked coolly in return, chuckling and dissing even before she could reply. "I gave you a job for that, or is that not enough? What more do you want?"Kathy shook her head. "I don't w

Ricky bellowed furiously, "You lost my sister yourself, and you want us to help you?! You should be feeling lucky that we're not calling the cops on you!"Harvey, however, calmly replied, "Believe it or not, Irene has been taken away from me. Help me look if you want Tommy back, and I'm not returning the boy until she's found. I have no leads or evidence here, but I have a feeling it's Isaac Jefferson. If you can get something out of that man, I'll return Tommy to you immediately once I recover Irene. What do you think?""Do you really think Irene would fall for you, coercing like that?!" Sheryl snapped at him. "She's a mother, and she was just marrying you to keep Tommy safe. She hated you the instant you took him from her!"Harvey, however, did not care—he had already thought of that! And he learned that the end justifies the means… from Isaac Jefferson himself!"I'm going to keep looking," he said, and called in his men. "Get them out of here!"Ricky and Sheryl were walking o

Over the last few days, Henry had been sulking. Although Moneypenny had voluntarily apologized and admitted to what he did, he had been coerced and actually deserved sympathy.However, Henry still allowed himself to be talked into splitting up Irene and Isaac's marriage!He had wanted someone to take care of Isaac, to give him a woman who can offer him a family… Only for everything to end up a mess!He did not even want to imagine how Isaac would react once he found out that he and Moneypenny had a hand in his divorce, along with the kidnapping of his son!What respect and kinship he held would vaporize, would it not?"Honestly, what should I do now?" It was not as if Henry had gotten senile—Moneypenny had spent of his life serving him and more than proved his loyalty. He was not about to send him to the gallows over one mistake!"Sir." Moneypenny bowed reverently then. "Perhaps I should confess to Master Isaac…""Forget it. Do you think you'd live with that temper of his? And

The more Henry tried to control Isaac, the more his grandson strayed away from him!Still, Kathy was smart enough to hear the ominous meaning in Henry's words. "What do you mean, Henry? Are you giving up on me?""I'm old now," Henry sighed. "There's a limit to how much I can help you. Whether you win Isaac's heart depends entirely on yourself, so you would have to make him fall for you, so that he willingly spends the rest of his life with you. Am I supposed to keep helping you if you keep running to me whenever there's an issue?"Kathy bit her lip miserably, even as Henry continued, "Who knows? Your transfer might fall through if you had an accident or you got hurt on the way to the branch office. Try to buy time, and go on from there!"Henry could not have made himself clearer—the rest was up to Kathy. "I'm tired. You should go."Finally realizing that she had come at a bad time, Kathy said, "Oh! I must have disturbed you… I really came at a bad time. Please take care of your

Isaac always carried himself as if he was above the rest. Stalking a married woman cheapened him! It definitely would not be him!As for Chad, who was Irene's prime suspect, she believed that they had no feud. Moreover, Chad himself said that he wanted to get back at Isaac for driving Whitney to her death, and would use her to that end.She laughed bitterly at the thought—Isaac had already divorced her, and found himself a new lover. If Chad wanted revenge, he should be abducting Kathy instead.Why her?She looked around, studying the whole room, but did not recognize it as she had long since forgotten about it. The curtains were left open with a foot wide gap, and light was spilling in, illuminating the room. She blinked, suddenly not interested in moving while feeling dryness in her entire mouth!She closed herself to sleep—maybe she would not be that thirsty afterwards.Still, it took her a long while to doze off!…When she finally opened her eyes again, she picked up t
