The Runaway Groom Chapter 238
Isaac acted as if he did not see Henry’s indignation, and threw the scraps of the torn papers nonchalantly into the trash can. “If I want a divorce, we can handle it ourselves. You don’t have to worry, Grandfather.”
With that, he sat opposite the old man, folding his legs casually. “Did you come to show me this? If that’s so, I’ve seen it and showed you what I think.”
Henry’s face was ashen. “Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
Before Isaac could respond, he continued, “You’ve seen the news, haven’t you? Do you see what you’ve done? What good came of it?”
“You mean I should let Tan keep my wife and child, and let that be?” Isaac asked sharply in return.
Henry was left speechless right then–his one mistake lost Isaac’s patience and respect.
It wasn’t as if Isaac never distrusted Henry. They both know how Isaac’s parents died, but Henry persistently defended Greg.
Even so, Isaac never turned against Henry–Isaac still regarded Henry as his grandfather despite his parents‘ murders, but what did Henry do?
He knew Ian had Irene and Tommy hostage, but did nothing.
That was what Isaac cannot abide with.
Isaac had already lost his parents, and he wasn’t about to let the same tragedy happen to his new family.
“Sir, our stocks-”
Stan rushed into Isaac’s office the instant he returned, but clammed shut when he saw Henry. He then walked to stand beside Irene.
Henry was basically huffing. He couldn’t do anything to Isaac, but being the previous CEO, he still had some tricks. up his sleeve and held stature as previous head of the company.
“Moneypenny, go find out–what happened to our stocks.
“Yes, sir,” Moneypenny replied, and left the room for just five minutes before returning.
