The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 963

"Well, since Hector killed Ian, he spared James the trouble!" Zachary exclaimed, suddenly finding Hector a pushover. "That's one concern less on our list! And that means it's Hector who knows about the castle, not that gang who's after us."

That gang was definitely the worst of the two!

"Find out where he is now," Isaac told Zachary—Hector remained a time bomb that could inflict serious damage unless they removed him from the equation.

Who knew when he would jump out at them, catching them off guard?

Zachary nodded.

"He's in hiding—even James had trouble tracking him down earlier," he said, though his tone soon changed. "But that doesn't mean he's gone without a chase, especially now that he made a move. There must be clues somewhere."

"Yeah," Isaac said. "Make it fast!"

"Right away," Zachary replied, and he turned to see Irene walking toward them.

"The leg wasn't James's?" she asked—she heard them talking about it but just wanted to confirm it.

Zachary nodded. "It's Ian's."

Irene heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness!

Isaac's phone rang just then—he had changed to a new phone since he returned, but kept to his old number and used the same phone model.

He knew where to swipe and answer, and once he did that, he put the phone beside his ear.

The others did not know what was spoken on the other end, but Isaac's reaction changed before he eventually turned calm again.

"Understood."

And with that single word, he hung up.

Irene asked, "Was that news on James?"

"No," Isaac replied. "But I have to leave."

Irene was naturally worried. "I'll come with you—"

Isaac cut her short before she could finish. "You're still hurt. Stay home and rest—I'll be fine going with Stan."

"Okay, but you should take Eagle," Irene insisted.
