The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

“Mom, Dad, you have to help me, or I’ll definitely end up in prison!” Ricky Spencer was crying out even as he tugged on Samantha’s hand.

Lionel glared at his incorrigible son. “What have you done this time?” he growled – it was certainly not Ricky’s first offense. “I-I was just trying to practice my driving ahead of my driver’s test. Irene’s SUV was just sitting there and no one’s using it, so I drove it around, and then I got caught in an accident…”

“What?!”

Lionel almost died from a heart attack right then. “Just days ago, you almost blinded someone with a skewer, and I had to spend so much on damages and apologize to finally resolve it! Now, you’re telling me you caused an accident? And without a license?! You honestly don’t appreciate being alive, do you?” “Calm down, Lionel. Ricky’s your only son, and he hasn’t completed his studies yet! You have to help him, he can’t go to prison. Would he have a future if he does? The SUV is Irene’s, so just say that it was her…”

“Dream on, Samantha White!” Sheryl bellowed right then she was being tough for the first time in her life. “Trying to make my daughter a scapegoat for your son, are you? Over my dead body!”

Lionel was surprised by her sudden appearance and stammered, “Y-You’ve recovered already?”

Turning toward him, Sheryl growled, “We’ve been married for 26 years, Lionel. I never asked you for anything or blamed you for taking a mistress, all because I can’t give you a son. I never said a word when you used our daughter as a tool to secure a connection. Yes, that’s all in the past, but if you dare to use Irene as a scapegoat for your son’s hit and-run, I’ll take you down!”

“What are you saying? There’s no way I’d do that! Ricky is still young, and he’s just frightened. We don’t even know what’s going on or what happened to the other car, but don’t worry-I’ll look into it. I promise I won’t use Irene as a scapegoat.”

Lionel might love his son, but he would never upset Sheryl and her daughter over Ricky.
