All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

James was puzzled. "The security footage of the auction? Why?"Isaac turned to look at him.Though he said nothing, the pressure he projected was almost palpable. James quickly lowered his head, afraid to ask more questions right then. "I'll go right now."While Isaac did manage to pull himself together after Irene's death, he was constantly overworking and suffered from chronic insomnia. Every night, he needed medication just to sleep.And if one were to say that he was cold as a person before, he was now even worse. In fact, he only saved his harshness for his rivals, and was more or less 'kind' to his own people. Now, even Stan had resigned as an assistant in favor of a desk job.It was not as if he was scared, but it was very difficult to work alongside Isaac these days.The air around him seemed to turn cold from his very presence, and the people with him constantly felt a suffocating pressure. Working with him had undoubtedly become a torment.And now, James did

Isaac stood loftily as he looked down upon Ian as if he were an ant. "I told you—you would wish you were dead."Ian stayed lying sprawled haggardly on the floor, his spite almost consuming himself.His hands were shaking endlessly and his veins were bulging over the back of his hand!They were both Jeffersons, and yet he had lost everything including his own dignity, while Isaac remained perched on his lofty branch.Losing again was already humiliating, but he had to lose so thoroughly too!Pushing himself up from the floor, his facial features contorted with rage even as he growled, "You're just scared, Isaac Jefferson. You're not manly enough to kill me with your bare hands. Do it if you dare, don't give me a reason to belittle you."He suddenly dashed toward Isaac in a last-ditch effort to kill him, but was subdued the instant he moved."Time for your meds, Ian," the director of the asylum said just then.Ian struggled violently, but he was too weak to free himself.Ever

However, Mick pushed a plate of food to her. "Not now. Eat."He did not mention Irene since she did not want too many people to know that she was alive, and therefore hid the truth from his own daughter too.Even so, Erin's curiosity got the better of her. "Just tell me already, Dad. I really want to know.""Well, you've met Isaac Jefferson. What do you think about him?"He was just changing the subject to divert her attention, but Erin fell for it anyway."He has the looks," she said as she searched her memory. "But his bad temper cancels it out."Mick smiled. "And?""And what?" Erin was puzzled.Mick actually thought that she might be interested in Isaac after meeting him given the ladykiller that he was, but it seemed not to be the case.Still, he found comfort that Erin was so intent on finding Yvaine's grave as well. She was a good daughter, even if she was adopted.Nonetheless, Erin seemed to realize what Mick was getting at and shot him a glare. "Dad, are you getting s

[Name: Jane Tanner][Age: 30][Birthplace: Zidonia]Irene had changed her name for work reasons, though she had every reason to hide her real name too.However, as there was not much other information, Isaac was left frowning. "Is this all you have?""I'm afraid that's all I've got on her," Mark admitted. "But I assure you, if you agree to this investment, I'll personally travel to meet Dr. Tanner. If she has even the slightest conscience, I'm sure she'd agree to return to our country to continue her research.""Not interested." Isaac refused him right away. "Debbie, get him out of here."It was obvious that he did not want to waste his breath or time on a project he had no hopes for.Refusing to give up, Mark blurted right then, "Mr. Jefferson, what would Ms. Spencer do if she were still here?"Isaac's face fell immediately and he leveled a dark look at Mark. His eyes seemed placid, but he was really just a fraction away from throwing a fit.Naturally, Mark regretted his own

Harvey lifted the employee ID dangling over Irene's chest and read it."Jane Tanner? I didn't think that it'd be you," he said in surprise. "I was actually wondering where I should start searching." He was impressed that he recognized her despite the face mask, too.As a matter of fact, Harvey had found out that Isaac might invest in the fully artificial heart project and was going to poach a certain doctor from Mead Clinic.Since Isaac was known not to fail, he wanted to poach the doctor before Isaac could, and then put his own money in the project. However, he had no experience in the medical field, let alone any contacts he could speak with.As such, he came here looking like an idiot, and was kept out of the staff's quarters. Frustrated, he paced around outside when he saw Irene came out, and grabbed her like he was grasping at straws."Come with me," he told her as he pulled her along.Irene was at a loss for words, and simply grabbed the nearest scaffolding.Harvey
