The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400

Harvey was left a little stunned when Irene shook him off so violently, not to mention that she was frighteningly cold.

He could not help asking gingerly, “A-Are you alright?”

Irene glanced at the time. “You have two minutes.”

Harvey was left at a loss for words for a while, but quickly said, “I don’t know what Isaac did, but construction on a tower I invested in was halted, citing non-compliance. I had to return to Sunny City because of that, and they told me that it’s because of Isaac. How could he be so petty?”

Irene understood right then. “You deserved it.”

Harvey huffed, “Do you even have a conscience?!”

“Your mother can be discharged now. I can help you with the arrangements any time,” Irene said flatly. Harvey was left at a loss for words again. She was killing him!

“I guess both of you are reptiles-you’re made for each other. Even if I wasn’t doing everything you tell me, I’ve at least worked hard to get in your good graces because you saved my mother-how could you hurt me so?”

Irene did not even look at him. “That’s your two minutes. I’m going back to work.”

Speechless once more, Harvey eventually growled between his teeth, “You’re a horrible woman. I was blind to actually have feelings for you… Only someone like Isaac Jefferson would fall for you.”

Irene paused for a moment just then before hurrying off.

The way she left as if she was trying to escape left Harvey stumped. “I don’t need your help to get my mother discharged!”

Irene did not respond at all, as if she never heard him, leaving him huffing. “Hey!”

She still ignored him, leaving him even more speechless.

Yvaine’s body was buried three days later with utmost secrecy.

Isaac never invited everyone to the funeral. To him, the Jeffersons had no right, and he did not tell Irene either.

Mick had been staying in the country just to wait to attend the funeral, only to find out that it was already over, and he did not even know where Yvaine was buried.

When Mick went looking for Irene, she asked in return, “Right now, I’m his mother’s killer. Do you think he would tell me? If he wanted me to know, do you think I would still be here working?”
