The Runaway Groom

Chapter 194

“Well, as you can see for yourself–he’s busy messing around with women,” Sheryl explained. “Would he spare the time to abduct Irene? Maybe you’re right, and she’s on the run.”

Sheryl was confident that she knew men.

In fact, after marrying Lionel and being betrayed by his adulterous behavior, she came to the conclusion that all men were pigs. And with a man like Isaac who could get any woman he wanted… Would he even bother stopping Irene’s car and abducting her?

If there was actual affection involved, why did they get a divorce?

If they were really in love, would Irene hide Tommy from him?

It was obvious that like Lionel, Isaac did not have a heart, leaving Irene disenchanted enough that she could agree to marry Harvey just to protect Tommy…

That actually reminded Sheryl of something else just then.

“Wait! Irene wouldn’t have abandoned Tommy to run away alone!” she exclaimed.

“Maybe she wants to get away first, and then try to rescue Tommy after?” Ricky suggested.

Sheryl considered that, and it actually sounded reasonable.

“So… Are we heading back?” Ricky asked.

Sheryl nodded. “Yeah. Even if there’s a chance it’s him, it’s not like he would admit it even if we asked.”

“Yeah, I agree,” Ricky replied, and they took a taxi home.

“You should go to Spencer Holdings and hold down the fort. Let’s wait for now–if Irene really ran away, she’ll contact us eventually,” Sheryl said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ricky nodded, giving Sheryl a look just then.

She had no intention of meddling with company affairs, and seemed to fully trust him.

He became less wary of her just then.

Meanwhile, Isaac was completely unaware that Sheryl and Ricky had seen everything.

Kathy was hysterical and a lot less reasonable than usual, because this meant that thing would not progress between her and Isaac.

She certainly could not accept it, but the more hysterical she became, the more guarded Isaac

was.

He would never have known if he did not compare them, but Irene was so much calmer.

In fact, she was capable of being so calm that Isaac felt helpless when he remembered that.

Could she not be a little less tenacious? Would it hurt to be a little more docile?

It was as if she could not stop upsetting him!

Remembering his own vulnerability, he wound down the car window and snapped at the security guards, “Can’t you do your jobs already?!”

It was not as if the security guards were failing–they simply presumed that Kathy was just having a lover’s quarrel with argument, and therefore did not dare to be rough with her.

Naturally, they felt no qualms once Isaac had spoken and firmly pried her away from his car, leaving her with cuts on her fingers!

With that, Isaac jammed his foot on the gas pedal, and his car bounded down into the basement parking lot without pause.

Kathy was left staring as he left, her tears gushing out.

Biting her lip, she then snapped at the security guards who were still restraining her, “Let go of me!”

The security guards did so–Isaac was already gone anyway.

Still, her clothes were now a mess and she looked utterly miserable, but more than that, she was indignant!

She knew that only Henry Jefferson would help her now. Wiping her tears, she drove straight to Jefferson Manor.
