The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291

Irene gave Ricky a look, but moved closer so that Ricky whispered into her ear.

“Ask Isaac to play dead-”

“What?!” Irene exclaimed, losing composure before Ricky could even finish.

“Oh, calm down-let me finish,” Ricky assured her.

Irene glanced at Isaac, and returned to Ricky.

“You’re really overreacting there.” Ricky chuckled.

Irene rolled her eyes. “Save it. Just tell me already.”

Ricky grinned-he knew that Isaac had utterly won Irene over after what happened, which was naturally a good thing for him.

After all, it was a blessing in disguise, considering that a bomb was involved.

“Ask Isaac to play dead, so that I can request to meet her and tell her that. We can apprehend her during the meeting, and we’ll know who it is-if Isaac didn’t kill Mom, it must be her. She must be planning to frame Isaac to set me against you two.”

Irene thought it was possible too. “Okay.”

“Then could you talk to His Iceness over there?” Ricky asked.

Irene turned toward Isaac to find him scowling as always-Ricky certainly had reason for that moniker, rude though it might be.

Hence, she went to sit beside Isaac on the couch, smiling because she was unsure where to begin.

That was when Isaac suddenly said, “It won’t work.”

“What?” Irene did not understand.

“Your plan won’t work,” Isaac repeated.

“Why not?” Ricky argued impatiently. “You’re her target, and she’ll definitely agree to meet if she thinks you’re dead. When she does, we can set an ambush.”

“Do you really think she’d fall for it?” Isaac countered. “We didn’t issue a gag order, and she might already know that I survived.”

Irene realized with a start. “Yeah, I have to agree… It’s no secret that Isaac was hospitalized. She would have been observing in secret, and must have known by now that he’s fine…”

“At 8 a.m. tomorrow.” Stan replied.
