The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451

James was puzzled. "The security footage of the auction? Why?"

Isaac turned to look at him.

Though he said nothing, the pressure he projected was almost palpable.

James quickly lowered his head, afraid to ask more questions right then." I'll go right now."

While Isaac did manage to pull himself together after Irene's death, he was constantly overworking and suffered from chronic insomnia.

Every night, he needed medication just to sleep.

And if one were to say that he was cold as a person before, he was now even worse.

In fact, he only saved his harshness for his rivals, and was more or less ' kind'to his own people.
