The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749

Before anyone could respond, Irene spoke.

"I like my coffee sweet," she said, pointing at the black coffee before her. "I appreciate coffee since it keeps you awake, but not its excessive bitterness, which is why I always add in milk or sugar. Anyway, I just learned yesterday that someone important to me has malignant arrhythmia, and everyone would probably be aware that it could kill at any moment. I've always believed that our job is to save lives, and from a certain perspective, it makes our job more noble than a regular doctor's. After all, we develop parts that would save a life, so I don't get it... how did such a noble workplace become so vulgar?"

After she had spoken, everyone else became much quieter.

Even those who disliked her had to agree-their mission was to develop technology that could keep a heart going.

And yet here they are, ostracizing a person just because they did not like her.

What was that if not a mistake?

Yolanda King spoke up then. "Allow me to voice my support for you, Director Spencer. I had harassed you when you accidentally stepped on my toes, but now that I've thought it over, I was the one who had been petty and intolerant. I should've had faith in our former director's judgment, after he had worked so hard for almost his whole life. I'm sure he would not simply give it off to someone else on a whim-he must've had his considerations before he picked you as his successor."

Resigning to her feet, she added, "Please accept my sincere apologies."

Irene's hands twitched over the table. "I did not take it to heart."

Finn, who had been standing in a corner, was stirred from Irene's speech.

If she really was useless, why was Dennis Turner so determined to name her his successor despite everyone's protests? Was it really just because of her sugar daddy?

Even if she had one, she had never asked for Isaac's help to harass anyone, and it was them who kept trying to mess with her.
