Chapter 80
Irene never expected Isaac to be crazy enough to post such an enormous bounty just to find her!
Yes, she had managed to escape him without leaving any trace that he could use to track her down, but he simply decided to appeal to human greed!
With networking being as advanced as it was, it would not be difficult to drag anyone out into the open with money and publicity!
“What should we do now? Should we leave?” Sheryl asked anxiously.
Even as she forced herself to stay cool, Irene looked up at her, and said, “Calm down, Mom.”
“Why is he looking for you? Didn‘t you part ways with him amicably?” Sheryl asked in confusion then.
Rubbing her cheeks, Irene admitted, “Actually, I ran away.” Sheryl was left speechless.
Still, she understood her daughter enough and soon realized that Irene just wanted to get away from the marriage that was never hers.
After taking a moment to calm down, Sheryl said, “No, the world is big. There will always be refuge for us.”
Irene, however, was not that optimistic–judging from present circumstances, she must have incensed Isaac, or he would not be going all out in his attempt to locate her.
In fact she could already imagine how things would turn out once she was captured.
She could not afford that–not when she was pregnant!
Getting out of bed, she said, “I‘m going out for a while.”
“Do be careful,” Sheryl reminded her.
Putting on some casual attire along with a baseball cap and a face mask, she headed to Lulu‘s precinct, but it turns out that she had left with a squad, and there was no telling when she would be back.
She then left the precinct and arrived at her studio, where a crowd was standing outside the door. Since many of her students and fellow instructors had seen her face, it was clear that they were all there for the bounty.
