The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

The research concerned the entire medical development scene of Minerva and their position as a global power.

After the mess Irene caused, there was no doubt they would bring down the hammer on her-especially when her allegiances clearly lay elsewhere.

"We're looking at prison time if things get to worse," Mick Gooding was saying.

Stephen Carr had spoken to him over the phone, and he wanted to help after learning that Irene was in deep trouble. He had even gone as far as to seek out Isaac while asking his friends to discern the damage.

"Pregnancy is inconsequential to the laws here, and since Irene is a foreigner, she might get slammed with espionage and treason," Mick finished, feeling the weight of a very hairy situation already.

As Isaac listened to him dissect the situation over the phone, his expression remained impassive.

However, there was no way he could just do nothing and wait-no matter how grim things looked.

"I have a business relationship with the Raideens. I'm going over to see if there's a solution."

Mick nodded. "If you need anything, just ask.”

Isaac did not reply.

After reading Yvaine Lynd's letter and finding out that she had fallen for Mick later in life, he had been unable to accept it at first, but eventually understood that it was just human nature.

Feelings develop over time spent together. It was absolutely normal-he would appear unsympathetic if he kept prying.

Moreover, he had already misunderstood Irene because of Yvaine once, and he would rather not make more mistakes about that.

Erin Gooding had been eavesdropping on Mick's call and learned that Isaac was coming to Minerva, even agreeing to meet at a cafe.

James would definitely be here as well, since he was Isaac's lapdog.

As such, she sneaked to the cafe, pretending as if she was running into him when she saw that he was going to leave.

Smiling in greeting and seeing that it was just Isaac, she quickly asked, ’ James isn't with you?"

Isaac, however, did not have time for her, and simply sidestepped to stride past her.

For Erin's part, she would not dare to mess around with Isaac now.

After all, she had neither the right nor the confidence-she was not Yvaine's child, and certainly not Isaac's half-sister.

Running up to him, she asked politely, "Look, I won't bug you-l just want to know whether James came here with you."

Isaac turned to look at her, and said, "No."

"Why not? He still works for you, right?" Erin pressed, but Isaac-clearly impatient-did not answer this time.

Erin wondered if James had avoided coming because of her.

Could he be worried that she would stalk him again?

Cutting in front of Isaac, she asked, "Is he staying away because he doesn't want to see me?"
