The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 916

Irene was absolutely fuming—how could Stan still be hesitant even now?

"Spit it already," she snapped. "Don't leave me hanging, or I might die from a heart attack!"

She was not actually joking—her heart could leap out of throat as she kept watching Stan being hesitant to speak.

He began, "I just saw the news about the plane crash…"

"So?" Zachary pressed, feeling anxious too. "Get to the point!"

"I am getting to the point," Stan said sternly. "Don't interrupt, please?"

And with that, the other three turned silent and stared fixedly at him, leaving him a little speechless.

"Remember the captain? I saw him jump out of the plane with us with my own eyes," Stan replied. "But the news is saying that he and his co-pilot died the same way. It's no surprise that the co-pilot was killed after I knocked him out, but the captain should have survived after landing safely like me instead of dying like his co-pilot."

James promptly understood what Stan was getting at, and his expression turned somber. "You mean the captain was silenced?"

"That's exactly it." Stan nodded.

"And we can't reach Mr. Jefferson," James murmured. "Doesn't that mean…"

The hunch James had was exactly what Stan feared—that the saboteurs found the captain and killed him to stop him from ratting out the mastermind.

Did they find Isaac as well, after he was separated from Stan?

Stan was certainly worried that Isaac had been taken by Hector Vaughn, or they would have been able to reach him by now!

Irene more or less understood what they were getting at, but she glanced between the three men before her and said, "We can't just stay here and wait, can we? Whether Isaac's been hurt or captured, we must do something!"

"Yeah," James said and turned to the other two. "Let's split up. You two will go look for Mr. Jefferson where he was last seen, while I investigate Hector."
