All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 541 - Chapter 550

The man who answered the door was taller than Isaac. His skin was fair but rough, his hair was combed backward, and his eyes were a shocking blue, sharp and pronounced like his other facial features.Naturally, he was not the type people fall in love with at first sight, but one would never get bored ogling him.Standing aside, he said, "I've been waiting."Isaac entered. His clothes were thoroughly wrinkled after flying in and out of the country, his collar slightly open and stubbles visible on his chin.But it still did not affect his good looks—it added a sense of rugged maturity to him, in fact.He flexed his neck, which had gotten stiff from sitting, as he settled down on the couch. Sammy sat opposite him and asked, "Where is it?"Isaac threw the papers on the table.…Sammy was a Raideen. The head of the family was almost eighty now, and was barely surviving after suffering a heart condition. Naturally, the question of who his inheritance would go to was asked w

Dirk Hertz, Sammy's maternal grandfather, led the people rushing into the room.Their rivaling parties had always been at odds as they competed for profit, and this was no different. Even so, Dirk had the advantage in authority, even as the two factions now stood off against each other in a silent confrontation. "We have everything we need to build a case against Zidonia. Why are you releasing her?'"What, with false charges against a heavily pregnant woman? Zidonians are already accusing us of illegal detainment, and it's already causing quite a stir. Are you really going to push this to a point of no return?""They are all talking. Once we get proof from her, no one would believe a word they say—""She'd be dead before you do."In fact, even as Irene started to lose consciousness, she was bleeding profusely from beneath her waist, dyeing her skirt red.Knowing that they would be breaking a promise if they lose her now—and possibly the chance to solidify Sammy Raideen's clai

Isaac leaned in and gathered Irene tightly in his arms. "Let's go home when you're better, Irene. Tommy is waiting."Irene was taken aback even as an ominous feeling seized her. "Why are you being evasive?" she rasped."I…" Isaac simply could not bring himself to tell her that their child was lost, and he was perfectly aware that she would feel even more miserable than he did. After all, it grew inside her body… "L-Look, I know things looked bad, but I'm already eight months in. The child could have survived even if it came prematurely!"Her voice was choking with tears even as she tried to keep it together. "You can't tell me that we lost our child… I won't believe you!""I don't believe it either…" Isaac whispered even as he brushed his cheek against hers.There was wetness over their skin, but there was no telling whose tears it was.Nonetheless, Isaac had said enough—their child was gone, and Irene's body trembled with agitation while her face turned pale."You said

Ember was certainly quick-witted.But although she managed to guess that someone had set her up in such a short time, she could not think of anyone who would do this to her."Just put on your clothes and leave!" Zachary snapped right then and turned to leave.Ember quickly caught him. "Listen to me, Zachary. I was set up—""Do I look like I give a damn?" Zachary's eyes were cold even as he watched her—he simply could not get a read on her.There were times when she was nice enough, but she was otherwise horrific!"Are you going to divorce me?" Ember asked—no man could stand being a cuck after all.Zachary held her faze for a moment and said, "Tell me where Lulu is and I won't."A realization dawned on Ember right then and she released Zachary, stumbling backward."You were being nice to me… because of her?""Yes." Zachary did not deny it, and Ember was left shaking with rage.So it was all feigned sincerity—she was just dumb enough to believe that he would fall for her!H

"I'll check if the remains have been cremated." The head nurse picked up a phone to call the morgue staff. The Flanley Hospital administration had told them that they could see the remains of the baby whenever they wanted.Now, however, they failed to show anything—claiming that it was a rule for the hospital to cremate every unclaimed body within regular intervals. "Oh, I see." Told as much, the head nurse hung up and turned toward Isaac and Irene. "I'm sorry, but your child's remains have been cremated."Isaac frowned—they were almost eager to show them before, and should at least inform them before something like this. Why did they not do so? Is it possible that they had nothing?"This was your responsibility." "Yes. I'm sorry for the terrible miscommunication.""Do you think I'd accept that apology?!" Irene screamed. She clearly had yet to calm down, but no one probably could in her shoes. How could she accept it? She was not even afforded the chance to see th
