Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Isaac smiled. "You’re very rich."Sheryl Harris was sitting at the dining table, smiling as she watched the two—she was pleased that her daughter found her happiness, and that Tommy now has a family."Come sit already," she urged—it wouldn’t do if the food got cold.Meanwhile, Isaac told Stan across the phone, "Contact me right away if you find anything unusual about Ricky."He hung up once Stan confirmed his orders, and headed to the dining table with Irene.Tommy was asleep, so they didn’t have to mind him. Sheryl was eagerly pushing food and soup to Isaac—she appeared happier with him the more they interacted."I'm not sure what you like, so I cooked a little something. Don't hold back."Isaac wasn’t uneasy—the mood around the dining table actually suited him. It had been a long while since he felt at home."Once Irene and I registered our marriage, please pick a date for us. I wish to give her a wedding," he said, offering Sheryl assurance while acknowledging and confir

Tommy was clearly uncomfortable in Irene’s hold. He was flailing his arms around, and was choking with tears from time to time, but not crying out loud. It was obvious that he was sick.Irene kissed his cheek, her heart aching for him. "When did you notice that he was sick?""Before I called you," Sheryl replied.Irene nodded—all they could do is wait for the test results.In the meantime, Irene took Tommy to someplace quiet, hoping that he would be more comfortable with less people around. However, that didn’t seem to make things better for Tommy—he soon began to cry. Too young to put feelings to words, it was the only thing he could do.Knowing that he was in a bad condition, Irene told Sheryl, "I’ll get him checked. Wait here for the lab results."Sheryl nodded. "Okay. Go on."Irene brought Tommy to the outpatient service—the only option left for her was to examine any possible cause of discomfort.While she waited, the lab results were soon out, and Sheryl rushed to Irene

Irene was naturally relieved to have Isaac’s men standing guard. She headed to the elevator, when Ricky happened to arrive, appearing tense. "Where's Tommy? Is he better now? Can I visit him?"Irene calmly studied Ricky’s face, intending to find a tell and perceive if his anxiety was feigned.However, he appeared to be too good an actor—she found nothing!"Come with me, Ricky." She entered the elevator and pressed the button to head downstairs."Is there something you need?" Ricky asked."Yeah," Irene answered quickly."What is it?" "I'll tell you later," Irene replied."Okay." Ricky did not say anything else.When the elevator stopped, Irene left the elevator first and headed straight to the parking lot behind the hospital, leading Ricky there."Irene? Why did you take me here?" Ricky asked, uncertain.Irene ensured that there was no one around before she answered him. "I have a question—are you sure my mother told you that Tommy was sick?"Ricky didn’t expect that from

Irene became tense immediately. Isaac’s appearance took her by surprise.Still, she composed herself as best as she could and smiled. "Hey…"Isaac looked up, his expression impassive. "Where have you been?""I—I had something to do." Irene fumbled to find the right words while deliberately avoiding Isaac's gaze as she walked to the table, pouring him a glass of water to hide her awkwardness. "You haven’t told me why you're here…"Isaac's voice turned cool. "Shouldn't I check on my son when he's sick?"Irene lowered her gaze, guilty. Isaac stared at her for a heartbeat, and turned grumpy.She wasn’t going to tell him, even though Tommy was their child and was being harmed.Did she not trust him, or was there some other reason?"I'm taking Tommy with me," he suddenly announced. Irene looked up right then. "Why?""He's my son.""He's my son too!" Irene promptly shot back.Isaac held her gaze for a while before saying slowly, "You think you'd have a child without me?"Irene

Once the first board member loyal to Isaac spoke out, more board members nodded. Some rose to their feet and declared their support for him to keep his position as CEO.They had all seen Isaac’s ability, and knew that they were only paid dividends despite holding small portions of the company's shares because Isaac constantly led Sky Group to new heights. On the other hand, would they really be able to enjoy the same benefits without hard work if there was a change in leadership? They were naturally suspicious. Not to mention, Ian’s crime called his father's character into question. That being said, Henry only called for the board meeting because he had privately contracted many board members, asking that they endorse Greg—that was why Greg appeared so confident. Naturally, Henry would rather support Ian because Ian was young and more or less capable. Unfortunately, Ian was now under investigation for his casino ship. There was no way Ian could be here, just as the board was un
