The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 230

The Runaway Groom Chapter 230

As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the containers, and swarmed toward Ian when they saw him.

“Why are the coast guard coming?” they demanded.

They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about getting caught.

“Just shut up if you don’t want to get caught,” Ian growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd as he made his way to Isaac. “Things won’t end well for you once word of this gets out. Don’t forget–I’m your family. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the reputation of the illustrious Jefferson dynasty?”

Though he owned this illegal casino, everyone knew who he was!

If he was indicted and once word got out, Isaac would not fare any better?

Isaac remained indifferent, his lips curling up with disdain and callousness. “What does that have to do with me?”

He might be a Jefferson, but after seeing that Henry had come aboard without lifting a finger to save Irene or his child, he no longer had any qualms!

From now on, he would protect his real family–Irene and Tommy deserved all his attention.

Soon, the cargo ship was surrounded, and the blaring sirens left many hearts pounding!

Fearing arrest, the crowd was in an uproar as panic and guilt seized them.

Stan and his men cleared a path, while Isaac left with Irene and Tommy on another boat.

“I’m leaving this to you. Don’t disappoint me,” Isaac growled with a solemn look.

Stan’s recent performance had been subpar and Isaac had. been meaning to straighten him out.

Stan was naturally aware, and said, “Don’t worry, sir.”

He would do his best this time.

Isaac trusted him too, and naturally would not give up on him so quickly–everyone deserved a second chance.

“Leave no stone unturned. I could tell that those men have dirty laundry, and I don’t want them out and about again,” Isaac added. “Understand?”

“Yes–anyone who laid a finger on Mrs. Jefferson will be punished.”

Stan was certainly smart. Isaac was being deliberately vague, but he understood anyway. Still, it was to be expected after he served the man so long, and gained an intimate understanding of how he thought.

He even knew how to address Irene to suit Isaac’s mood!

“Get it done,” Isaac said flatly, and Stan returned to the cargo ship with his men.

Isaac then headed above the deck and told the crew to bring the boat ashore.
