The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 956

Irene understood that Isaac's hostile takeover over Smartville Tech was what led to the whole mess.

When people are desperate and have nothing to lose, they would fight without holding anything back—even if it kills them!

As the saying goes, "Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose."

And none of this would have happened at all if not for the plane crash!

"Yeah," Isaac replied.

"I'm going out later," Irene then said.

"Where to?" Isaac asked.

"I need to cook up something so Erin will be willing to go back to Minerva. I'm afraid she'll find out something about James if she stays here with us," Irene told him.

"Your excuse might arouse her suspicion anyway," Isaac pointed out. "You're still injured, so you should stay here."

"What if she asks about your blindness? What would you say here?" Irene asked.

"She must have heard about the plane crash, right?" Isaac asked in return.

Irene shook her head. "She would not be here this late if she did. She doesn't know."

Isaac was silent since what Irene said was reasonable.

Erin might be his stepsister, but she had always treated them like family!

If she knew Isaac was in trouble, she would have been here by now.

She was not, and that probably meant she did not know.

"Anyway, the bullet wound is much better now," Irene said. "It doesn't hurt that much. I'm going out to get some Vicodin."

"Yeah," Isaac replied flatly.

He wanted to hug her just then, but he could not see too well to do it right.

Still, Irene leaned in to give him a peck on the cheek and did her makeup after eating, so as to make herself look presentable.
