The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 923

Irene was so anxious her voice was shaking. "Hello?"

Meeting Lulu's eyes just then, she quickly stepped out of her ward and leaned against the wall outside, calming herself for a moment and asking softly, "Is there news on Isaac?"

James was quiet for a while before answering, "It's bad news."

Irene's heart sank, and it felt as if every bit of strength she had was drained from her body.

Afraid of bad news, she almost did not want to listen…

But that was when James said, "Someone leaked the news that Mr. Jefferson is missing."

Irene had no idea what that would lead to, and she asked, "Is that something concerning?"

James was quiet again before saying, "It would be great if you can speak on his behalf. You're legally Mr. Jefferson's wife and would therefore inherit everything, so—"

"Isaac's not dead! I'm not inheriting anything!" Irene shouted, but she soon regretted it—she should not have responded to James like that, but she was really in a bad mood!

She could not accept people talking about Isaac like that, and she would get easily agitated.

Nonetheless, she apologized. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright," James said, knowing the pressure was on her—like everyone else did.

Stan and Zachary were still unable to find Isaac, meaning his fate was still unknown.

Naturally, they were all worried too.

Trying to stay calm as possible, she asked, "What do I have to do?"

"I sent Stan back to Zidonia," James replied. "He was on the plane with Mr. Jefferson, so you'd be a lot more persuasive if he's by your side when you speak to the employees."

Irene rubbed herself firmly between the brows. "What if they asked about Isaac? What should I say?"

"Just tell them that he's injured and hospitalized," James replied.

They must keep everyone in line for now. The rest could wait.
