The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296

Clearing her throat, Irene said, “You see, I’m the one who bought the graves next to our father’s.”

She had been wary toward Samantha, though it was not to say that she was helping Sheryl retain her place as Lionel’s legally married wife. After all, Sheryl was over Lionel, and Irene wanted her mother to live a long, fulfilling life-she did not want a grave for her so soon.

In fact, Irene had bought it just because she did not want Samantha to be interred beside Lionel.

On the other hand, it took Ricky a long while to actually realize what Irene meant. “You did that for Sheryl?” “More or less,” Irene said.

“Huh.” Rick sighed, realizing that he was too late.

It seemed that he was not as smart as Irene, who showed foresight while he only thought about his mother’s funeral matters now.

“You’re really smart, Sis. Dad was right to leave Spencer Holdings in your care,” he said.

At that very moment, he was not actually jealous-instead, he was impressed with Irene’s consideration. She had also been the one who resolved a crisis for the company before, and he must admit that their father had shown foresight in leaving matters to her.

In fact, the reason Lionel had not divorced Sheryl was probably not just because he still had feelings for Sheryl, but also because he acknowledged Irene as his daughter.

“Yes, but Spencer Holdings is in your hands now,” Irene said. “That’s why you should pull yourself together soon to lead everyone again. Your mother had been hoping for you to inherit the family’s estates, but you have to know that money and real property aren’t alive. On the other hand, if you do well at the company, you would earn the money and respect. I’m sure your mother wants you to be successful too, so you should really do well so that she could be at ease.”

Ricky nodded at her encouragement. “Yeah.”

He had always known that Samantha wanted him to inherit the Spencer estate, and Irene was also right in that Spencer Holdings was the family’s lifeblood, and could bring him more value!

Samantha might even be at peace now if she knew that it was in his hands.

Still, he would not have control over Spencer Holdings if Irene did not give it to him.

“Thank you, Irene.”

“There’s no need to be so polite. We’re family,” she replied.
