All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Isaac stood, tall and towering."Yes," he replied, having no intention of apologizing.Henry scowled—being advanced in age, he cared much about kinship.However, he cared about the family's reputation more. He had given all of the family's estate to Isaac to appease the latter, but in actual truth, his chief interest was maintaining their reputation. What happens in the family should stay in the family—he had been constantly worried that Isaac would expose the family's dirty deeds to the public's attention.He rarely tried to throw the weight of his seniority onto Isaac, but now, he asked, "Do you understand what you've done?"It was a rare instance, but Isaac pursed his lips coldly and growled in dissatisfaction; it came from the bottom of his heart. "Grandfather, you knew Ian took my child and my woman, but you didn’t tell me. I was going to ask you why. Do you agree with his actions, or were you a part of it?"Henry was stunned. "H-How did you know?!"Henry thought that h

Isaac asked, "Is this a photo of you?"Irene nodded firmly. "Yeah… When I was around seven, if I remember correctly."Isaac couldn’t help laughing at that.Irene scowled, feeling like she was being mocked. "What's so funny?"Isaac passed her the photo. "Are you sure this is you?"Irene was left speechless the instant she saw it. Tommy was in the photo, not her."My mom must’ve changed it," she explained.It had to be Sheryl. No one else would do it! Isaac's gaze followed the photo as Irene put it on the drawer again. "Come back to the mansion with me, Irene.""Okay," she replied after a brief hesitation.Footsteps could soon be heard, and they could hear Sheryl calling out, "Irene? Are you home?"Irene promptly got to her feet—she felt a little guilty, perhaps because Isaac was in the room with her.Even though there was no reason to feel guilty…"Mom," Irene called out.Hearing her voice, Sheryl arrived at the door, asking, "Have you found Tommy?"Sheryl was surprised

Kathy was stunned. While she did come here on her own volition, she never expected to run into Irene here.Even so, she did not lay a finger on Irene!"I—"Isaac didn’t bother to listen to Kathy. "Debbie, see her out.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Debbie the secretary stepped in front of Kathy right then and gestured, "Please."Kathy tried to explain. "I didn't touch her!"Isaac simply ignored Kathy and turned away with Irene still in his arms, though he soon paused. "If this happens again, you won't be working for this company anymore."Kathy felt a chill running down her spine.She had done so much, yet Isaac still had no interest in her.Plus, Irene's provocation actually worked?Isaac himself had chased Irene away from his mansion! How did that woman return and seduce him? What tricks did Irene use to make him favor her so much?Kathy was absolutely livid!…As Isaac returned inside his office with Irene, he picked up some tissues and helped her wipe the coffee stains on her

Isaac acted as if he did not see Henry’s indignation, and threw the scraps of the torn papers nonchalantly into the trash can. "If I want a divorce, we can handle it ourselves. You don't have to worry, Grandfather."With that, he sat opposite the old man, folding his legs casually. "Did you come to show me this? If that's so, I've seen it and showed you what I think."Henry's face was ashen. "Do you know who you're talking to?!"Before Isaac could respond, he continued, "You've seen the news, haven't you? Do you see what you've done? What good came of it?""You mean I should let Ian keep my wife and child, and let that be?" Isaac asked sharply in return.Henry was left speechless right then—his one mistake lost Isaac's patience and respect.It wasn’t as if Isaac never distrusted Henry. They both know how Isaac's parents died, but Henry persistently defended Greg.Even so, Isaac never turned against Henry—Isaac still regarded Henry as his grandfather despite his parents' murders,

As the realization dawned upon him, Stan exclaimed, "You were prepared for this? So long ago?"Naturally, the thought gave Stan confidence. It meant that they did not have to worry about Henry impeding them in any way. At this, even his tone lightened up considerably. "I didn't think he could be that heartless…"Henry would actually take back management of Sky Group!Isaac, however, remained impassive. It wasn’t as if he was pleased that the insurance he had prepared kept him safe—in truth, he was sorely disappointed.Irene could sense that Isaac wasn’t in a good mood, and had a rough idea why. Taking his hand, she said quietly, "I won't ever leave you."Even if those around him betrayed or deserted him, she would always stay by his side! Isaac looked into her eyes and gathered her into his arms, while Irene wrapped her arms around his slender waist.Self-aware as ever, Stan promptly stepped out of the office with his eyes averted, even closing the door behind him and telli
