The Runaway Groom Chapter 137
Although Samantha was in a good mood, she did not know that Irene survived.Irene was a good swimmer, and where she landed was deep enough to break her fall.She was not familiar with the area and wanted to get ashore, but did not do so immediately since Samantha might still be around.The skies were brightening a little when a light suddenly flashed on her, and someone called out, "There's someone here!"Irene was startled. 'Is it Samantha?'She swam as fast as she could, but was quickly overtaken by a boat. "Whitney? Is that you?" Chad called out, and frowned in disappointment to see that it was not when a light caught Irene's face.Stan and his men had left the boat, confident that Whitney was dead since they did not find her after an entire night. Chad was searching as well, but there was no sign of her, and there was not much chance of her surviving. He fell to despair."Are you swimming here?" he asked. He was puzzled since this was no place to swim, and the beach

Naturally, Chad doubted her and sneered. "Do you think I'm an idiot? That you could trick me so easily?"Irene forced a smile and kept trying to cajole him. "I'm not lying—I'm being honest here. I have a bone to pick with Isaac Jefferson as well.""What, you have a bone to pick with him too?" Chad remained doubtful."You were saying that you know about us, but do you know what's really going on between us?" Irene patiently reasoned. She was quick on her feet—this way, she could find out about Chad's intentions, along with how much he actually knew about her and Isaac.Chad raised a brow in response. He certainly was not aware of the relationship between Isaac and Irene aside from Whitney's brief mentioning. In fact, he would not have remembered her if his men never reminded him."What else could it be? You're his girl," he replied.Isaac was not married, so she had to be his lover!Irene breathed a sigh of relief then—it turned out that Chad knew about them, but nothing spec

It sounded like Zachary was chugging a beer!"Quit drinking, Zachary!" Irene whispered."Hah! Why not? She betrayed me." He chuckled in disappointment, misery, and disbelief!"Listen, Zachary, I only have your number. That's why I called you. Someone is holding me hostage in a hotel right now, tell—"Someone knocked on her door before she could finish, and she quickly hung up.On the other end, Zachary was too drunk to think about what Irene said—he was actually puzzled that she hung up on him.Meanwhile, Irene answered the door after putting on her clothes, and found Chad standing at the doorway. He actually doubled back, remembering that there were phones in the hotel room, and that Irene could call for outside help. He strode inside, glancing at the phone as he asked, "Did you contact Isaac Jefferson?"Irene could not remember Isaac's number, or she would have. "I didn't." She smiled.Chad doubted her, and told his people to check with the front desk. Irene, however,

Irene knew for a fact that rich kids like Chad were very afraid of death.Her visage was calm and her words direct. "Let me go."Chad refused. "I doubt you'd kill me."He was convinced that a girl like her would never go that far, unaware that she was a doctor—that anyone brave enough to pick up a scalpel was no coward!Irene simply pressed the sharp glass shard until it broke his skin, and as Chad felt the sharp pain in his neck, and reached up for a touch.His soul almost left him when he felt the warm, sticky sensation of his own blood!"W-Wait a minute!" he stammered nervously."You're trying to humiliate me. I'd really deserve it if I didn't fight back." Having performed surgeries, Irene's hands were steady—she kept pressing the glass shard against Chad, making him feel the pain and kept making him bleed. It would look serious on appearance, but it was hardly life-threatening. After all, a doctor knows the human body from top to bottom, and what could be potentially let

Once Irene returned to her room, she picked up her phone and saw a few missed calls from Lulu. She called her back, and Lulu soon picked up."Irene?" She sounded very worried."I'm here," Irene replied."Are you alright? I was so worried when I couldn't reach you.""I'm fine. Have you arrived at Cloud City? Where are you now? I'll come to you.""I'm at work right now," Lulu replied. "I'm only free after six. Let's meet up somewhere.""Okay," Irene said, and asked, "Is my mom and Tommy alright?""Yeah. They're staying at my home—don't worry." "Good."Irene missed her family—especially Tommy, who was separated from her soon after birth. She wanted to hold him so much.Suddenly, Mrs. Watson came upstairs and called out, "I've made you something to eat, Mrs. Jefferson. Please come downstairs to eat." Lulu heard that, and said, "Well, as long as you're fine. Let's talk later!""Okay," Irene replied, hung up and followed Mrs. Watson downstairs, where Isaac was sitting by th

Isaac was glaring at Irene as if he would cut her into little pieces—if looks could kill, she would be dead already!"I was just—"Even as Irene tried to explain, Isaac sprang to his feet, clearly reluctant to listen to her, and strode out of the dining room.Irene pursed her lips but did not follow—he was furious, and he was not calm enough to listen to her explanations.She should give him time to calm down before talking to him."Achoo—"Irene suddenly clasped her hand over her mouth as she sneezed!Seeing that, Mrs. Watson asked, "Do you have a cold?"Irene nodded, and she quickly brought her cold medicine."Thanks," Irene sniffled.Mrs. Watson smiled. "You're Mr. Jefferson's wife. It's what I should do."Irene lowered her gaze at the mention of Isaac, but quickly took the medicine and washed it down with water. …After having breakfast, Irene changed into fresh clothes and headed to the hospital.Ensuring that Samantha was not around, she visited Lionel, and told hi
The Runaway Groom Chapter 143
Samantha was in a great mood since Irene was gone, and was convinced that the Spencer estate now was all her son's to take.Naturally, what belonged to her son was hers as well."As the doctor ordered, I made a blanched meal of meat and vegetables. You should eat more, and you'll get better soon," she told Lionel. When Lionel tried to push himself up, she quickly came to help him, even putting a pillow behind him for him to lean on.Then, as she poured him a bowl of broth, she said, "By the way, I heard that Irene went missing."Lionel's head jerked toward her right then, and the look in his eyes puzzled her. "What's with that look?" She smiled.Lionel realized that he was overreacting too, and quickly tried to hide it so that she did not notice. "The broth looks good. It must have taken a while to cook it, right?""Yeah! I spent hours on it—have as much as you like." Samantha handed him the bowl, and quickly changed the subject. "Don't you think Irene would meet an accident,
The Runaway Groom Chapter 144
Lionel was convinced that after he sided with Irene on this one, she would not refuse him should he ask her to look after Ricky in the future. He had certainly thought of everything, and had already left a will dictating the distribution of his estates.Everything Samantha did was in vain!For her part, Samantha knew that Lionel never loved her.However, she never expected him to side with Irene, even going so far as to force her to surrender herself to the police by using his fortune as leverage!"I've been with you for over twenty years… Don't you trust me at all? I said I didn't…""Just stop already! Are you going to surrender yourself or not?!" Lionel promptly cut her short, because he was not in the mood for her nonsense. Samantha was left trembling even as she stood. While she did not love Lionel that much, they had been partners and he genuinely cared for her! How could he be so heartless?"I'm the mother of your son!" she snapped.Lionel remained calm despite her o
