The Runaway Groom Chapter 179
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

Isaac finally looked up from his work when he heard Irene's name.Harvey naturally became smug at that, and opened the envelope to Isaac so that he could see the photo enclosed inside and their name. "See?"Isaac remained calm and unaffected. "I dumped her. Take her with you all you want."However, Harvey knew by now that he was too good at pretending, and did not even mind his dissing. "Of course—you dumped her, and that's on you. I don't mind that she's been with other men, and she'll be mine from now on. For that, I have to thank you for letting go, but don't worry, I'll give her some proper loving.""Get out!" Isaac snapped, scrawling a signature on the bottom of a document and throwing it aside.Harvey was grinning ear to ear at his response, as if challenging Isaac to hit him. "It's this Saturday, Mr. Jefferson! Don't forget!"Isaac's lips curled up savagely as Harvey put down the invitation. "See you there."With that, he whistled a tune cheerfully and smugly left Isaac's

Even if Kathy appeared to be special to Isaac, Stan could not help frowning each time he heard her referring to him by his first name.Did she think she could lord over everyone already, saying Isaac's name like that at the office?For some reason, he could not bring himself to like her."He's always like that," he flatly replied, and strode away.Kathy, however, gave chase, "Don't go, Mr. Hill. Do you think he'd still be upset if I went in now?""You can try." Stan smiled—he knew that Isaac was still furious, and anyone who went in would be bringing trouble on themselves. Still, Kathy was not that stupid. "I think I'll wait… I'd just be getting into trouble if I went in now."Stan snorted. "Smart.""I just don't want Isaac to be angry." She strode off.…Isaac, however, was in a bad mood for the entire day since Harvey showed up! He could not focus at work, even making mistakes until he finally decided he was too distracted to work, and left early, canceling all appointme

"Isaac Jefferson?" Ricky became indignant. "Isn't he your husband, Irene? He even sent his assistant to help you, but he's suddenly harassing you?""That are you talking about, Ricky?" The supervisor appeared surprised. "He's not married, let alone to your sister…"After all, Irene and Isaac's marriage was not publicly known, and not many people knew about it. Less important people like the logistics supervisor here were certainly not privy.Irene smiled. "Ricky just got a little drunk. Don't listen to him."With that, she started dragging Ricky to her office while telling the supervisor to leave work for now. "We will come up with something tomorrow.""Oh, okay." The supervisor thought nothing of it, presuming that Ricky was really drunk."Irene." Ricky frowned. "Why are you dragging me? And you did marry Isaac—""Ricky." Irene cut him short. "We're divorced, so don't ever mention that to anyone.""When?" Ricky gaped. "Is he abandoning his son too?""He doesn't know that Tomm

Irene had made up her mind. "It won't take that long. Livestream promotions are all the rage these days, and that's why we're going the route of viral marketing.""Alright, I'll make the call," Ricky replied."Good." Irene hung up but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked several trustworthy employees to move the returned goods out of the warehouses. Since Isaac wanted to bully her, he had the money and influence to make it an issue as well if he were to find out that she was using viral marketing for retail. That was why she must do things quietly. It was daybreak when everything was done, but just as she returned to Spencer Mansion to rest, Harvey's makeup artist had arrived. She pressed Irene on a chair, and started to do her bridal makeup.Her eyelids weighed a ton—she could fall asleep right then.Ricky poured her a coffee and pulled out a chair to sit beside her. "Irene…""Don't ask. You have more important things to do," she said as she turned toward him. "Y

Isaac's expression turned icy, and the air around him seemed to cool as well."Irene Spencer! Did you really think Harvey Gooding loves you? Don't forget that you were married to me, and consummated—""Isaac Jefferson!" Irene snapped, cutting him short."What, can't take it already?" Isaac mocked, holding out a hand to her. "You can still walk away with me now."Irene was laughing despite her indignation. "You were the one who demanded a divorce, and it has been finalized. Also, aren't you with Kathy York? Are you sure she won't get jealous that you're here? Oh, and I also heard that you gave her your most prized possession—I guess you really love her, congratulations!""I'm just returning that thing to its owner," Isaac replied without thinking.Irene raised her brow. "So it's hers. I guess you two really go a long way back."Isaac pursed his lips but could not deny it, since she was the one who saved him as a child, or he would not have rehired her—even if his grandfather had
