Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Any new leader tends to flex his newfound authority, and Ian was certainly doing that during his first meeting with his key personnel!Every head of department was sitting with clenched buttocks, afraid to make a sound. However, they were just wary of Ian since they were not familiar with him—with Isaac, they were earnestly reverent instead. Still, Ian was confident after his recent promotion."Starting with Finance, everyone will report any noteworthy events as well as department objectives over the last six months," he said proudly and formally from the chairing seat.However, his confidence proved a little excessive, as the Head of Finance rose to his feet and gave a lengthy account of everything the department saw through over the last six months.The long and short of it was that there was no income, only investments. "Here's everything on the projects and investments we oversaw in that timeframe," he said as he handed a thick document folder to Ian, who was scowling now

Isaac asked, "Why her?""She's stupid and easy to manipulate," Stan replied. "She's not chaste anyway, and it spares us from having to choose a new person."Isaac stared at him but stayed silent—Stan took it for a silent approval.In reality, Stan only did that because he had come to understand that Isaac did not care about Kathy at all.From his point of view, there were just two reasons why Isaac had not kicked Kathy to the curb—the first was that she had saved Isaac's life before, and he could not be too harsh on her despite his indifference.The second was that she was still useful to them. Still, that made Stan think—why the difference in treatment between Kathy and Irene? Both of them had saved Isaac's life, and yet one one was treated like a tool, while the other was being pampered to kingdom come. Seeing that certainly left Stan clicking his tongue.Truly, it hurt to see the contrast!"How are things going on over there?" Isaac asked just then, seemingly not interest

Irene was left speechless for quite a while before finally saying viciously, "I'll break your legs."Isaac brushed his cheek against hers, chuckling. "Could you bear to hurt me so?"Irene went further. "That's not all. If you really cheat on me, I'll break your legs, and then use your money to become the sugar mommy for some young 'uns…"This time, it was Isaac who was left speechless."That's going too far."Using his own money while cucking him?!Irene reared her chin at him. "Yeah. So go on, cheat on me, and I'll make you the greatest cuck ever—""But none of them is as good looking as I am," he growled, pinning her underneath himself on the bed. Irene tried to get away from his kisses since it tickled, shoving him. "The sun is still up—""Yep," Isaac answered distractedly, but was not inclined to get off her, even undressing her right then.Irene panicked and gave in right then, "Fine, my bad. I won't hook up with other men. You're the only one for me…"Isaac leaned in

As Kathy helped Greg out of the taxi, it was clear that the man was really drunk.Unlike before, the alcohol he had tonight seemed especially strong… even stimulating.Kathy had no money, so he had to pay for their room.Once inside, she made a show of helping him to bed, and said, "You should rest, sir—"Grey suddenly caught her wrists.Feigning surprise at first, Kathy resisted just a little before yielding to his advances, and what happened soon after was simply water under the bridge.…After the deed was done, Kathy was clutching at the sheets as she sat by the headboard, her eyes welling with miserable tears.Greg was left staring at the blood staining the sheets in silence for a long while, before breathing a lengthy sigh. "I didn't know that you were chaste… but I'll definitely take responsibility for what I did."Kathy appeared afraid, and was averting her eyes.However, the reason she bled was because Stan had her undergo a hymenorrhaphy at a hospital. He told her

However, just as Quincy was about to speak, Greg snatched his phone away. "Hey, it's my phone! What do you think you're doing?"Quincy froze for seconds and narrowed her eyes.Greg was clearly feeling guilty, but he had no choice but to do it—what if it was Kathy calling? He would be exposed! "Give it to me right now." Quincy held out a hand, looking dead serious just then.When Greg refused, she demanded, "Are you cheating on me, Greg?""No way! Why would I do that? You're being paranoid—"Quincy snatched his phone out of his hands before he could finish, and answered the call. "Hello?""Oh! Hey, Quincy! Is my brother from another mother over there?"Quincy recognized the voice—it was one of Greg's close friends, and she was acquainted with the man as well.Greg was relieved since he heard the voice too. Feeling confident right then, he snorted at Quincy. "Why would you suspect me? Come on, you're embarrassing me in front of my friend here—what if he told the others you'
