The Runaway Groom Chapter 79
Right now, all Isaac wanted to do was to find Irene—no matter what it would take.After that, it would be her death by a thousand cuts!To him, leaving him with nothing but a divorce agreement and running away was a betrayal! Even if there was no sentiment involved, they were still married! How could she run away without a word?Furious was far from enough to describe his emotion just then.However, two more weeks passed, and Stan still did not manage to get anything.They had been searching everything they could about Irene, but could not find any record of her having liaisons with a man."Nothing?" Isaac asked as he stood in front of a window wall at his mansion.His towering figure seemed to project coldness as he turned around. "Nothing," Stan admitted. "Be it med school or work, she never had a boyfriend."Isaac raised a brow, and simply presumed that Stan had slipped up. He had personally seen the morning after pills in that woman's bag. Why would she need that if
The Runaway Groom Chapter 80
Irene never expected Isaac to be crazy enough to post such an enormous bounty just to find her!Yes, she had managed to escape him without leaving any trace that he could use to track her down, but he simply decided to appeal to human greed!With networking being as advanced as it was, it would not be difficult to drag anyone out into the open with money and publicity!"What should we do now? Should we leave?" Sheryl asked anxiously.Even as she forced herself to stay cool, Irene looked up at her and said, "Calm down, Mom.""Why is he looking for you? Didn't you part ways with him amicably?" Sheryl asked in confusion then.Rubbing her cheeks, Irene admitted, "Actually, I ran away."Sheryl was left speechless. Still, she understood her daughter enough and soon realized that Irene just wanted to get away from the marriage that was never hers.After taking a moment to calm down, Sheryl said, "No, the world is big. There will always be a refuge for us."Irene, however, was not t

There were guards watching the entire residence inside out, but Irene had no intention of escaping anyway. After all, even if she managed to flee from Harvey, she would just end up caught by Isaac.Indeed, she no longer had the will to run.On the other hand, Harvey felt uneasy to see her being quiet and compliant."What are you up to this time, Irene?"Irene was simply sitting on the couch and calmly said, "I know I won't get away, so I won't waste my strength trying—that said, I'll kill myself if you try anything funny."Harvey chuckled. "Why would I go through so much to capture you, only to not get you?"Irene looked at him then. Harvey was not your typical greasy, perverted old man. He was tall and had a handsome face, while his eyes projected both a sense of mischief and indulgence. "Didn't you come to Sunny City to hide from Isaac? The fact that you ran proves that you hate him. If that's the case, I don't mind—""Dream on!" Irene cut Harvey short before he could fi
The Runaway Groom Chapter 82
Irene saw Sheryl and quickly turned to Harvey, who had returned as well.Why was he doing this? Why did he bring her mother here?!Even as her expression darkened, Sheryl hurried toward her. "Oh, Irene. This gentleman told me that he's your friend and was taking me to you. And you really are here!"Irene smiled at her. "Could you go in first?"Sheryl was puzzled, but nodded and entered the building. After making sure that Sheryl was gone, Irene glowered at Harvey. "What is this? Why did you bring my mother here too?"Harvey gave her a look. "I thought you were actually smart after all the times you escaped me. Why are you being so stupid now?""Who would know if you're really bearing ill will?" Irene was confused, but stared at him warily all the same since he had tried to mess with her so many times—he certainly was no angel.Harvey's face turned cold right then. "You're looking a gift horse in the mouth!"Irene sneered. "Are you saying you're being nice? Then why are you ke
The Runaway Groom Chapter 83
Irene, however, knew that Harvey actually meant that the woman would be keeping an eye on them instead of taking care of them. Still, she kept that in mind without exposing him—it was understandable for Harvey to do that.Then, giving Irene a look, Harvey asked, "I'm actually curious about your relationship with Isaac. Would you mind telling me?"Irene chomped on a muffin before saying, "We're married."Harvey was speechless, his jaw almost dropping off right then. "What?!" he exclaimed, unable to believe his ears. "Come on, you can do better than that! Everyone knows that he's single, and you're saying you two are married? You're kidding!"It was natural for Harvey to doubt her, and he was convinced that she was using Isaac to stop him from having any funny ideas.Still, Irene calmly looked up at him. "I'm not lying. He wants revenge—that's why he's hunting me down.""Revenge against you?" Harvey appeared interested just then. "Do tell.""Our marriage is hidden, so not many

Before Irene could respond, Harvey said, "If you don't want to stay with Isaac Jefferson, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend… Why don't you just marry me?"Harvey had asked Irene who the child's father was before, and Irene lied that it was a boyfriend whom she had broken up with—that was why the child was now fatherless."No—""Don't be in such a hurry to say no," Harvey said, cutting her short. "We've been here for months, and I've shown that I can be nice, right? Aren't we friends, at least? There's no way you can stay here for the rest of your life, and if you don't want Isaac to keep haunting you, you need some degree of status."Irene looked at him as she pondered—it was true, she could not stay here forever. But once she left, being found by Isaac was just an eventuality. "I can be your shield. Just tell Isaac that your child is mine," Harvey suggested slyly then.Right now, he wanted to hurt Isaac in every way possible—he was even willing to make Isaac be

Even Stan, Isaac's personal assistant, was constantly on edge. Nonetheless, he reported to Isaac the instant he received a certain piece of information. "All the clues point to Sunny City. We've got nothing even after we searched that place for so long, but someone called us today with a tip that she was seen at the Sunny City General Hospital." Isaac was wearing a black shirt loosened at the collar, and a severe look immediately appeared in his eyes. "Get ready.""Are you going personally, sir?" Stan asked.Isaac ignored him and coolly said, "You've been searching for months, but you had nothing… Getting more competent lately, aren't we?"Stan kept his head lowered. "I think she's had help. There's no way she could have hidden herself so well if she was alone. Moreover, we had definitive leads that she showed up at Sunny City, but she seemed to disappear into thin air when we looked, only for her to reappear there now…That was when he remembered something else, and it seemed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 86
Harvey entered and took a seat. "Long time no see, Mr. Jefferson." He greeted Isaac with a fake smile.The private room was dark, and Isaac appeared to be lounging—but the look on his face was inscrutable."To what do I owe the pleasure?" Harvey asked."I heard that the CEO of Hartman United reneged on your partnership offer?" Isaac asked evenly, but it was sheer humiliation to Harvey.Still, Harvey knew that Isaac was behind that, and he composed himself despite the fury in his heart. "It's just a partnership—if it falls through, it falls through."Isaac chuckled. "How magnanimous! How much did it cost you?"Harvey’s face darkened a little. Isaac was just trying to twist the dagger now! Harvey had always known that the man was swift and decisive, but he came so prepared that Harvey was completely caught off guard!Moreover, in spite of the devastating losses from that failed partnership, Harvey still had the advantage because he knew where Irene was."A loss is a loss.
