The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 275

Taking Irene’s hand in his, Isaac said, “Is there anything you want? I can give it to you.”

Irene giggled, “Don’t worry. I’ll get my one pound of

flesh.”

Then, she steered the conversation away while acting casual, asking, “Where have you been today?”

“The office, of course.” Isaac grinned, since she rarely asked him about his whereabouts. “What, worried about

me?”

“Of course. I was worried you’d have an affair,” Irene replied.

Isaac chuckled softly in amusement.

Irene shot him a glare. “What’s so funny?”

“I just liked it that you asked. That’s all,” he replied.

Irene was left speechless for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something else.

“I’ve put together an agreement to hand Spencer Holdings over to Ricky. He’s alone now that Samantha’s

gone, and I hope that the company would encourage him to keep himself together–maybe he’d forget his misery if he’s busy.”

She thought it necessary to Isaac.

They had now decided to live together, and be involved in each others‘ lives–that meant honesty, and no secrets!

Isaac put down his fork at the mention of Ricky–the issue with Kathy had delayed his visit to the hospital. Actually, I’ve just realized something. The person who texted me and lured me to Samantha’s body wanted me there, so that they could frame me as Samantha’s killer. Did Ricky tell you anything when he visited you today?”

Irene came to a realization right there and then.

So Ricky was acting weird because he thought Isaac was involved with Samantha’s death?

Was that why he seemed to want Irene to pick a side

between them?

“I’ll talk to him, or he’d really think that you did it,” Irene said, considerably cheerful now that things came to light about Ricky’s weird behavior.

Hold on…

5/3

She had other serious business!

Resting her chin on her palm and staring at Isaac, she slowly asked, “Have you been around a woman today?”

Isaac was sharp enough to get what she really meant, and looked up to return her gaze. “What is it you’re asking?”

“Just a question,” she smiled, while nonchalantly fiddling with the cell phone she left on the table.

She did not want to tell him about the photo–instead,

she wanted him to take the initiative to be honest.

Moreover, he would certainly understand after she was being so direct, wouldn’t he?

Naturally, Isaac quickly noticed that she was testing him.

“Yeah.”

“Who?” Irene asked in reflex.

“Ian Jefferson’s mother.”

Irene was caught off guard–she never expected that.

From Isaac’s perspective, however, he had to get involved with Kathy today because of Quincy. He was less than reluctant to mention the degeneracy of what happened.

In fact, he would’ve chased Kathy away if he did not want

to exploit her.

He was certainly cold enough to use his own savior like a

tool!

On the other hand, Irene was quite disappointed, but didn’t keep questioning Isaac.

As she cleaned up the table, afterwards, Tommy had woken up, and Isaac left to check on him, not noticing that she wasn’t in a good mood.

Soon, she decided to find the truth for herself.

While Isaac took a shower, she told him that she needed

to go out since Sheryl was calling her.

Isaac didn’t seem to worry, and had no reason to stop her visiting her own mother. “Tell Jimmy to drive you there.”

“Okay,” Irene replied.

Thankfully, the photo was informative and easy to place, and she had determined that Isaac and Kathy were in the hospital at the time.

She arrived at the hospital and found the ward, where Kathy was still staying.

Still, Irene didn’t confront Kathy directly, and instead. went looking for Kathy’s attending physician. Irene still had connections as a former doctor, and had no trouble

finding the doctor in question–fortunately, they turned out to be acquainted before, or Irene wouldn’t be able to access Kathy’s case file.

“Here. But keep this a secret. You know the rules- patient confidentiality.”

“I know, don’t worry,” Irene replied. “I’m just having a

look.”

She flipped through the pages, and scowled when she saw the list of tests Kathy had been subjected to.
