The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 928

Irene smiled faintly, appearing almost harmless just then.

But her words were far from that.

"I don't want to hear further rumors that would jinx my husband. I'm sorry, but if I catch anyone saying such things, they will be dismissed."

Everyone was immediately quiet, since they had all discussed that possibility.

Naturally, none of them want to be fired either, since this company's benefits were the best.

That was when Stan's phone rang.

It was a ruse he and James had planned beforehand, calling in the middle of the meeting after Stan changed James's caller ID to 'Isaac Jefferson' instead.

He deliberately angled his phone so that others could see it before he answered the call. "Yes, Mr. Jefferson. She's here with me. I'll pass her the phone now."

Irene played along too, taking the phone and saying softly, "I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

With that, everyone believed that Isaac was calling.

They used the same tactic at the meeting at other subsidiaries, and after a tour in every company in Zidonia, she returned to Franconia right away.

Zachary had also returned from Dunesia, and he met them in the conference room of the Remy headquarters.

It was night, and there was no one around the office.

Only the lights in the conference room were up, and they were trying to think of a plan.

If they stuck to Irene's decision, there was no need to discuss anything.

After all, what could be more important than Isaac?

Money?

They could just make more.

Moreover, losing Smartville Tech would not lead to Remy's bankruptcy.

It was not as if James did not agree with Irene's decision, but he simply had his suspicions.

After Irene showed him the message she received, he had someone trace the source of the text, but the source was encrypted and they could not find the source.

Nonetheless, he said, "After investigating, I actually don't think Hector Vaughn has Mr. Jefferson."

"Why would you think that?" Irene asked.

"Mr. Jefferson would negotiate with Hector himself. He would not allow you to be affected," James said.
