The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428

What was that?

lan frowned–it felt sharp as it dug into his skin.

Irene was glaring at him calmly. “A little push, and you will be in a world of pain.”

The temple is a vital spot for humans as it is a node where various nerves are connected, and any trauma leaves the victim vulnerable to injury..

Irene did not have time to prepare when she came and could not bring anything lethal. All she had was the key she grabbed from a table–but even if she could not kill lan, she could threaten him.

lan, however, did not think that she would hurt him. “Don’t forget that I have your mother and child. Hurt me, and they die.”

“Take me to them,” Irene demanded. “And I promise I won’t hurt you.”

“No.” lan stared at her sideways. “But if you hurt me, they die.”

To no surprise, she did not dare to get rough with him–not when her baby had not been rescued.

Taking her hand off himself, he chuckled when he finally saw what she was holding. “A key? You threatened me with that?”

Irene held his gaze, and repeated, “You have me already. Let them go.”

“No. I. Won’t.” He breathed–it was his leverage against her and Isaac. He would die before he spared them.

Furious, Irene lunged at him again, ready to go down with him!

This time, however, lan easily caught her wrist. “Now, now. You shouldn’t glare at me like that, or blame me at all. Blame myself for being the idiot who fell for Isaac Jefferson, and got caught in my line of fire.” The car stopped beside a riverside dock. Weeds had grown all over the path leading to it, cutting off all access.

lan whipped out his phone, saying, “Isaac should have returned to town by now, don’t you think?” He dialed Isaac’s number, and it was answered soon enough!

Isaac had taken a private jet on the trip back to Cloud City instead of an airliner, and his plane had just landed when he received lan’s call.

“I have your wife, your son, and your mother–in–law. Give me Remy if you want to save them.”
