All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 731 - Chapter 740

It was not just Isaac inside—Zachary was there too, and the pungent scent of alcohol struck Irene's nose once she stepped inside!She had no idea how much Isaac had drunk, but it was obvious that Zachary had drunk a lot too, as he was sprawled limply on the couch, his cheeks clearly flushed even under the dim light.He had already taken off his jacket and thrown it to a corner, while his collar was unbuttoned, revealing his reddish skin.Irene was frowning as she entered, and she went to check on Isaac first. He was not dead-drunk like Zachary, and his cheeks were not red—it was likely that he was not the type who got flushed from alcohol. Still, there was an unfocused look in his eyes as he watched her, and he held out a hand at her. "You're here."Irene put her hand on his palm and sat beside him right then. "How much did Zachary drink?"Isaac did not respond but merely leveled her a meaningful look.Getting the creeps from his stare, she averted her eyes and asked, "What

Irene was speechless, and her fingers clenched over the steering wheel.Even so, she softly replied, "Yeah."Isaac clearly heard her despite her tiny voice and he smiled faintly. As they arrived home and got in bed, he wrapped his arms around her, and she stiffened so badly he felt like he was holding a warm rock.Hence, he spoke to her to distract her. "Did you know what I did to Tobey Kitsch's family?""What?" Irene asked. "Tobey has only one son, so he and his wife dote on him a lot. So, I got him fired, and set it up so that the company he worked at filed a lawsuit against him for leaking company secrets. I then leaked the information that it was me, and that led to Mrs. Kitsch coming to meet me earlier, begging me to spare her son. I told him that I would destroy her son utterly the next time she messed with me, and she was so scared she promised to never do it again."Irene turned to look at him, saying nothing for a while."Or did I make a mistake?""No." Irene shook

Irene's appearance surprised everyone.They were all briefly stunned, but they soon turned toward Finn."How did you know it's actually here?"None of them told him, after all.Finn was just going to say that Yolanda told them, but Irene spoke before he could. "Is it really that hard for me to find out?'Yolanda just arrived, and heard her—she realized right then that she should not have spoken in front of Finn. After all, the boy did not understand the politics involved and would admit the truth straightaway. If everyone else found out that she was the one who talked, they would definitely give her a wide berth.Meanwhile, Irene slowly approached the crowd, her gaze sweeping across those who just spoke nonchalantly. "You know who Isaac is to me. Of course he'll find out what I want to know."Dennis walked up to her then. "Come, Irene. Sit with me."Irene sat beside him naturally, while the people who were quite enthusiastic moments ago stopped moving and stayed silent.Iren

However, Zachary wobbled in front of her before dropping to the floor with a thud.Left dumbfounded, Irene promptly dropped to a crouch to check on him the next instant. However, she found Zachary winking at her away from the others' gazes.Irene was speechless. He was pretending? Why?While she was still confused, the bald man beckoned for his thugs to leave.Zachary quickly tugged on her sleeve and mouthed, "Com—pen—sa—tion."Irene realized with a start and sprang to her feet. "Stop! Are you trying to leave just like that after you caused injury?"The bald man wheeled on her with a vicious glare. "Are you trying to swindle me?!""No, but he's unconscious and needs the hospital. You have to foot his bill," Irene said.The bald man strode toward her right then, but Isaac stepped in between, his presence calm but intimidating. "What do you think you are doing?""She's trying to swindle me."The bald man naturally knew how far they went, since they did not hit Zachary anywher

Since Ricky was impulsive and easily got into conflicts with others, he was naturally on edge when he saw Zachary.Irene quickly turned to Zachary. "It's late. You should head straight home."She barely finished when a blur darted toward them and punched Zachary in the face.Irene quickly caught Ricky. "What are you doing?! Both of you are hurt!"On the other hand, Zachary wiped his lips and looked at Ricky askance.Still, he said. "It's fine… I'll be giving up on Lulu, Ricky. Just do what you will with her—you don't have to be hostile with me now."Although he did not hit back, Ricky snorted. "You're despicable, Zachary Slate. Playing goody two shoes now after what you did? She wouldn't have left if you'd let go of her sooner!""Left? Where to?" Zachary, who was completely in the dark, was naturally surprised by what Ricky said. After all, Lulu did not have relatives, and her only connection was her best friend, Irene.He quickly turned toward Irene and asked, "Where did she
