The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

After Stan left, Moneypenny started to address her differently.

“Ms. Spencer, you have not done what Master Jefferson asked you to do, have you? We even heard that you went to Master Isaac’s office.”

“I wasn’t looking for him,” Irene replied. “I needed to talk to Stan Hill-

”

“It doesn’t matter who you were looking for–you’re not doing your job!” Moneypenny snapped. “Since you’re not up to the task, Master Jefferson insists on doing it himself. Now, you just have to lure Master Isaac to a designated location, and it would be mission accomplished.”

“Where?”

“Hotel Langdon, specifically the penthouse presidential suite,” Moneypenny replied.

Irene could not believe her ears. Henry Jefferson was already attempting to make Isaac sleep with Kathy?!

“What, are you refusing?” Moneypenny asked.

Irene certainly was reluctant. How could she bear to make the man she loved sleep with another woman?

You can’t blame him–you forgot his grace and let down his faith in you. Please be tactful enough to not break another promise to him.”

Irene did a double take.

Henry was the one who registered their marriage despite Isaac’s initial reluctance to marry her.

Now that Isaac was reluctant to divorce her, he finalized the divorce even in the absence of both parties.

In the end, money talks, and the rich will always stand above the rest.

Knowing that she had already reneged on an earlier promise, Irene said, “I understand.”

“Master Jefferson hopes that you will be compliant-”

Before Moneypenny could finish, Irene’s phone was ringing.

The instant she answered, Sheryl was crying out loud, “I’m sorry, Irene! These people just came and took Tommy away!”

“What?!” Irene paled right then, her voice quivering. “Who?!”

She then met Moneypenny’s gaze, and saw the look in his eyes. “You?!”
