The Runaway Groom Chapter 174
Irene doubted that. Moneypenny clearly stated that Henry was behind everything.Keeping herself as calm as possible, she said, "Tommy is Isaac's son. Do a paternity test if you doubt me."Henry frowned, appearing doubtful. "What?""My child is Isaac's too." Irene snarled every word. Henry almost slipped just then—a servant reacted quickly to catch to stop him from falling."Go! Get me Moneypenny right now!" he barked. "Yes, sir." The servant promptly left to look for the butler as soon as he helped Henry to a chair.Irene was actually confused just then. "You… didn't take my child?""Why would I lie to you?" Henry retorted. "Yes, I was hoping you'd get Isaac to fall for Kathy York, but I didn't know about your child. Hell, I would've taken the boy away from you at the mansion when we ran into you last time—even after all that has happened, I'm not that cold that I'd forget the fact that your grandfather saved me."Irene was still doubtful, however. "Then why would Moneypenny

Irene decided that she could not sit and wait!As Henry left for Ian's home, Irene left Jefferson Manor, though she lingered at the gates, wondering as to who would want to abduct her baby…Bzzt—Her phone suddenly rang.When she answered, Sheryl was crying urgently from the other end. "Irene? Please come home quickly!""What's wrong?" Irene asked."It's the people who took Tommy. They're asking for you!"Irene became spirited the instant she heard that there was a clue about Tommy's whereabouts. "I'll be there as soon as I can," she replied, and quickly used her phone to summon a taxi.That was when a car drove up to Jefferson Manor. Stan alighted, but averted his eyes when he saw Irene.For her part, she was actually confused why he would come at this hour. "Why are you here?" she asked."There's something I have to get," Stan replied, and headed into the manor.Irene did not press the subject since she could not spare a thought for anything but Tommy—nothing was more

It was only then that Irene saw the man in the living room."You?!" She gaped, but at the next instant, she had bounded forward and grabbed Harvey Gooding by the collar, bellowing, "Why did you take my Tommy?! Give him back!""That can be arranged, under one condition," Harvey replied, calmly looking at her."What is it?""Marry me.""You're crazy!" Irene's eyes were red."After Isaac did me dirty," Harvey replied, breathing every word with weighted purpose, "I'd be a failure if I did nothing!""Go mess with him all you want!" Irene laughed icily. "What does my child have to do with that? Hell, your proposal is even more ridiculous! Did you take the wrong meds, or did you finally lose your mind?""Neither. Right now—no, my mind is clear the instant I took your child," Harvey breathed with rising agitation. "I knew Isaac Jefferson loved you the instant he spent millions on that painting, and what do you think he would do if I took you from him?"Irene did a double take, and the

Sheryl knew that her weakness had caused her daughter many problems in the past, so she must not be weak now.She would stand before her, and shield her from everything!Irene's eyes were red."Mom," she sniffled. "Please calm down."Murder is a crime—Sheryl would be imprisoned if Harvey Gooding died, and she did not want that.Harvey then added, "I won't hurt the child, woman. I love your daughter, and will be a better husband to her than Isaac Jefferson when she marries me."Sheryl, however, was not so easily fooled. "Don't bother sweet-talking me—you wouldn't coerce Irene if you loved her, let alone threaten her with her child. You only see what you want, and you call that love?"Harvey was taken aback—he actually had no comeback for Sheryl.Hence, he simply gave up on defending himself. "Kill me, and you'd be in prison. You'll never see your grandson again, but your daughter will be worse off because she'll lose you and her son. Who knows if she'd lose her mind from grief?"

Ricky Spencer did not release her, however. "I know that your son was kidnapped. Is there anything I can help with?""No," Irene replied. "Just stick to your lessons on managing the company.""Tommy is my nephew even if you won't admit it. I'm actually worried that he has been taken away, and I just want to help."Ricky's tone was sincere, making it awkward for Irene to brush him off. "No, I'm serious," she said patiently. "It's a great help if you'll do your best to learn how to manage Spencer Holdings."Something changed in the way he looked at her then. "I will do my best," he replied."Good. I have something urgent to do, so please let go," Irene said urgently.Ricky did, and Irene hurried outside when she suddenly stopped and turned toward him again. "Listen—the reason our father did not pass down Spencer Holdings to you directly was because he knows that you're not ready to lead yet. He may have entrusted Spencer Holdings to me for now, but understand that he loves and ca

In spite of everything that Harvey told her, she really had no idea what he was up to.Henry breathed a long sigh and said feebly, "This is on me too. I should've noticed that Moneypenny was acting weird, and none of this would have happened."Irene asked, "So he was bribed?"Henry shook his head. "I trust that man, especially after he served me so many years—no, he can't be bribed. We found out that Harvey abducted his wife and coerced him into advising me so that I finalize your divorce with Isaac. Now that Harvey has abducted your child as well and forced you to marry him… I have to ask, what's your plan here?"Right now, Irene did not want anything to do with the Jeffersons, and a divorce suited her fine."You're unhappy with me, and Isaac is interested in Kathy York. There's no need for me to stay here—as for my child, I'll save him on my own."Her tone was calm, devoid of rage or indignation.Having made up her mind, she was certainly relieved. "But isn't the child Isaac

Kathy was strutting as she walked toward them, her heels clicking in her wake as she passed a lunchbox to Mrs. Watson. "I've made this for Isaac. Take it inside."When Mrs. Watson did not take it, she smiled, "I'll be the lady of this house soon, Mrs. Watson. How will we get along when you're being this hostile now?"Mrs. Watson reluctantly took the lunchbox then, her face falling as she turned and headed inside the mansion.Once she left, Kathy's smile faded. Glancing at the suitcase lined up against the wall, she then turned to Irene. "I hope you never show up around Isaac after you leave. He must have gotten sick of you and told Mrs. Watson to throw away your things, didn't he?"Her words actually left Irene agitated.Yes, Isaac must have gotten sick of her and told Mrs. Watson to throw away her things, did he not? She reared her head with an impeccable smile just then. "I don't think I'll be the last person thrown out of here, though. I hope you'll prove to be an evergreen a

Irene smiled.After that, Zachary told her to get some proper rest before leaving with Lulu.However, Irene felt that she was no longer sleepy, though when she left to find Harvey, he had already arrived at Spencer Mansion.He was smiling and appeared spirited.Irene remained impassive, and asked curtly, "When can I see my child?""Like I said, after our wedding. Now, which card do you prefer?"He had brought several wedding cards, each having different styles so that she could pick one she liked. Irene found the man's behavior bizarre just then—she insisted that she did not love him, and had only promised to marry him to save her child. Was he crazy? Picking an invite at a time like this?"Just do whatever you like. You don't have to ask me about anything," she said, planting herself on the couch."Fine, that'll do," Harvey replied. "Once the invitations are prepared, I'll send the very first one to Isaac Jefferson." Irene was not in the mood to play around, and simply n
