The Runaway Groom Chapter 20
In the living room, Samantha White was sitting on the couch, wearing silk pajamas that accentuated her devilish figure. She raised a pretty brow when she saw the other woman entering. "Oh, if it isn't Irene!"Irene clenched her fists and was surprised that Samantha had moved in while her mother was sick.She then glanced at Samantha's wrist and noticed the bangle that looked like it cost an arm and a leg. It seemed that things had taken a turn at the Spencer household after they received the Jeffersons' dowry.Despite feeling embittered, she said, "I'm here to talk to Lionel."Samantha brushed her thick, maroon curls and replied, "He's not here."Irene quickly turned to leave, but Samantha called out to her. "Stop—did you come to ask for money? Why would you need money when you're Mrs. Jefferson now? I'm telling you, we don't have any money for you. I'm sure you know how much your mother's surgery costs."Irene pursed her lips. Samantha was merely a mistress, but she acted as i

Stan ran into Isaac just as he was about to leave, and quickly greeted him. "Mr. Jefferson."Giving him a look and growling rather hostile, Isaac asked, "Have you found out anything?"Stan complained in his head that he was not Superman, not to mention that Isaac himself had given him a ton of work earlier today."N-No, I was just about to do it," he said gingerly and wondered what had happened that could get Isaac so upset.Isaac's secretary approached them, saying, "Mr. Jefferson? There's a Ms. Cox at the front desk, asking for you.""Ms. Cox? Could it be—"Before Stan could finish, he immediately saw Isaac glowering and kept silent tactfully.Even as the air around them cooled, Isaac flatly said, "Bring her upstairs, Stan.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."-Soon, Stan arrived at the CEO's office with Whitney Cox.Isaac was standing beside his desk, having taken off his jacket and carelessly thrown it over his chair, and he slowly turned toward her.Whitney appeared prim and proper
The Runaway Groom Chapter 22
Isaac loosened his collar indignantly and snorted coldly out of his chest.He vividly remembered that the woman with him that night was so inexperienced.On the other hand, Whitney had a boyfriend. After seeing how intimate they had been, Isaac could tell that they had definitely done it before."The cameras were sabotaged that night so we lack definitive evidence, making it likely for a mistake. I'll check again… But it would have been ideal if you'd given her a token or something…" Stan said, heading off to the hospital while not forgetting to complain."Wait…"Isaac suddenly called out to him. "Never mind."Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, would a woman who spread her legs under those circumstances be a woman of virtue?Desiring her to be saint when she offered her virtue on a whim?He was asking for too much.Still, none of it meant a thing to him now!Whoever that woman was, he no longer felt butterflies in his stomach for her. Stan naturally did not u
The Runaway Groom Chapter 23
Over the years, Irene did not have much savings because she had been footing her mother's medical bills.Nonetheless, now that her career as a doctor was over, she had to work another job. Her dream as a military doctor was also delayed—not abandoned, even if she was forced to concede it because of her life at the moment.She would become a doctor again if she had the chance.Eventually, she left the hospital and took a taxi back to the mansion."Mrs. Jefferson, are you ill? You look pale," Mrs. Watson said in concern as she entered.Irene shook her head. "I'm fine."As she entered after changing into loafers, Mrs. Watson pressed on, asking, "Don't you have work today?"After all, Irene had always been busy and often took night shifts.Irene's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at Mrs. Watson. It was true—she was supposed to be at work, but…Repressing her bitterness, Irene steeled herself and smiled. "I took a few days off. The chief approved my leave already. "Mrs.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 24
Irene had no idea what Isaac was talking about. Looking up into his eyes for two heartbeats, she eventually realized what it was, but she did not react.‘He must be humiliating me again,’ she thought to herself.She simply kept her head down and ate as quickly as she could.Isaac naturally frowned because of her silence. "What's the hurry? No one is stealing from you."He was actually perplexed—the boorish way she wolfed her food was somehow acceptable, even a little adorable.It was much better than pretentious women who put up a prim and proper act.Nonetheless, Irene waited until she was finally finished and drank two mouthfuls of water before snapping, "How I eat is my own business. Why do you care?!" Jobless because of him, she had nothing to fear now—it was time to go all out!Isaac slowly looked up, his visage projecting coldness just then. "You're too bored, aren't you?"‘What happened to her? What is with that false bravado? ‘And her wording… She really wants to

"Why bother pretending? Are you not manly enough to admit what you did? Are you disappointed that I denied that guy again?!" Irene growled through gritted teeth and pent-up emotions.Isaac flung her aside. "I didn't do it!"He almost threw her down on the floor, and Mrs. Watson had to catch her to keep her standing.At the same time, Isaac glowered and barked, "I won't let another man touch you long as you're my wife just so that you could cuck me again! Who was it?"Irene looked at him blankly then—taking his pride into consideration, he had no need to deny it if he really did… and he was not the type to do it, either!"Speak! Who was it?!" Isaac barked again, feeling mysteriously furious.Even he had no idea why he was fuming just because she had almost been raped!"It's the man from last time…"Isaac knew who it was even before Irene finished.After all, he did run into Harvey when he left Blue Bridge, so he instantly understood what had happened!There was a terrible stor
The Runaway Groom Chapter 26
Harvey nodded—he really was interested in Irene, though he could not describe what he liked about her.Who knows? He might just be stirred by his impulse after being denied twice.Moreover, the fact that she had wounded him repeatedly makes for a strong memory!On the other hand, Isaac's anger eased a little when he found out that Harvey did not manage to have his way with Irene… but he was furious again to find out that he liked Irene.In fact, he was even more furious than before!"What do you like about her?" he asked, wondering to himself what was likable about that woman aside from cheating in relationships."I don't know, but one way or another, I want her," Harvey replied without hesitation.Isaac frowned, feeling as if his possession was being coveted."Stay away from her!" he warned sternly, which left Harvey befuddled. What was going on here?Feeling like gossiping just then, Harvey asked, "Are you interested in her too, Mr. Jefferson?"Stan was standing behind Is
The Runaway Groom Chapter 27
Isaac looked at Irene's curvaceous figure, his gaze turning distant as he gulped and worked hard to keep his tone even. "Did you think you could seduce me with this?"In reality, he had already been seduced, but his ego did not allow him to lust after her. "I-I'm not—" Irene stammered even as she picked up her towel to cover herself."Don't show you filthy body in front of me ever again," Isaac growled as he stormed off, slamming the door loudly behind him.He strode to the other room so that he did not have to look at her, but all he could think about was her alluring figure replaying repeatedly like the highlight of a movie.Unable to control his thoughts, he loosened his collar in frustration. Still, it was already loose, but he somehow could not breathe anyway! He was restless and grouchy, and he wanted to flip out so badly."That wretched woman!" he growled—she really was adept at seducing, and more frustratingly, he had to fall for her ploy!Taking off his necktie and u
