The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

Irene turned toward the door to find Mick glaring at her with crimson eyes–Layla, who was standing beside him, was stunned by his reaction too.

“Mick…”

Layla put an arm around Mick’s, and he suddenly realized that he was overagitated- Layla was still with him.

However, Irene could see that he was panicking.

Why? What was he trying to hide?

Layla asked mildly, “What got you upset, Mick?”

“No, I just misheard,” Mick quickly tried to assure her. “Did I scare you?”

Layla shook her head. “I’m fine, but you don’t look too good.”

“I’m just thirsty. Could you get me something?” Mick said.

“Okay,” Layla replied.

Having diverted her away with ease, Mick turned to level a vicious glare at Irene.” You’re Isaac Jefferson’s wife?”

Irene took a step back, and kept a hand on Stephen’s desk to keep her balance. “Yes.”

Mick narrowed his eyes and started to approach her, but Stephen quickly stepped in

between them. “Calm down, Mick.”

Mick simply shoved him away. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

Murderous intent fueled him, and he growled, “You’re a doctor, Stephen. With both of us working together, we won’t leave a trace–I’ll make sure you have all the fame and riches for the rest of your life even if we get caught.”

“Mick!” Stephen was stunned by his words, and quickly told Irene, “Leave us for now, Dr. Spencer.”

Right now, Mick was seeing red and was capable of anything.

“Don’t even think about it,” Mick simply moved up, blocking the way to the door and shutting it.

On the other hand, Irene had a general idea now after hearing so much.

Stephen and Mick were good friends, and Stephen had agreed to surgically implant something that affected Layla’s memories in her brain.

While Layla was under the impression that she had undergone a surgery, the truth was that she had two–and it would be the third if they were to operate on her again now.
