Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 321 - Bab 330

James told him, "200 millions."Ian's lips twitched, and he really wanted to curse right then. That was a lot of money.James then added, "I know it's just pocket change to Light Group."Ian was speechless—the Light Group of the present actually did not have that much money. They had already emptied their coffers for that last 80 million dollar injection!Nonetheless, he could not afford to tell James that he did not have the money for appearance's sake. There would be more trouble if he did, and word of that somehow reached Light Group's board members. "Give me some time."He had an idea—there were several Light Group projects that were still underway, and he could divert the capital from those projects to Eastdawn.He certainly had no intention of giving up halfway on Eastdawn since this was his first project. Moreover, they had an agreement, and the second injection was basically agreed upon.Hence, he began to make the calls to sell off their projects.Fortunately, they

Even so, Greg remained composed. "I'm just playing around…""Playing around?" Quincy's face paled further. "Maybe I should play around with other men, too!"Greg glowered. "That's out of line. You just hit me but I did nothing. Did you think you could just slap a man like that?"Quincy dropped to crouch just then, and she began to bawl hysterically.She was out of line? Pain, anguish and spite was overwhelming her—she wanted nothing less than to pick up a knife and shank Greg right then!On the other hand, Greg's patience was already gone.Moreover, Quincy looked horrid when she was in his face, and now that she was sobbing, he watched her while feeling no sympathy, but just cool disgust instead.Having no mood to coax her and knowing that it would not go well anyway, Greg simply let reality sink into her. "Still crying at your age? Aren't you worried Ian would see you like this when he comes home? Also, you don't have to worry—I still want you and this family. I'll be back wh

Ian was weary in spirit. Light Group was a mess, and now his family was too.He felt as humiliated as he was helpless.Nonetheless, he drove Quincy to Greg and Kathy's love nest.Quincy was repressing her rage to stop herself from flipping out again, but she was failing.Greg's mistress had to be Kathy, and he even arranged for her to stay in a luxury apartment!…Meanwhile, Greg took Kathy to the hospital for an ultrasound, which only proved that Kathy was pregnant. Greg was certainly pleased—although he already had Ian, he thought a single child was not enough and he wanted a daughter.However, Quincy protested, stating that she would lose her perfect figure with multiple pregnancies, insisting that one son was enough.Since he was already quite old, he was certainly overjoyed that Kathy had his child. Who else at his age would have an expecting partner?In fact, he felt young once again to have a child, as he rediscovered passion from Kathy. His life before suddenly seeme

Striding toward James, Ian asked sharply, "Tell me. What is going on here?"James's expression had instantly switched from leisurely to sulking. "Like I said, my component was in the final phase of development, and we just needed this microchip. We would have to divert much of our resources if we want to make that microchip ourselves, so that's not going to happen quickly. That's why I decided to order it from a foreign company, and we even signed an agreement so that they would sell us that patent of microchip. It's basically a monopoly, but I found out today that they're a dummy corporation! The samples they gave us were from another company—I've called the cops, though, so we just might stop them…""Stop them? A foreign company?" Ian breathed through clenched teeth even as he shook with rage. "You paid them millions without doing a background check on them?""I did! But their setup was so elaborate, it fooled even me…""And do you really believe we can get our money back after

Kathy snorted coldly, but James suddenly told her, "You should leave. She'll be coming for you."Nonetheless, Kathy was feeling conceited just then, especially since Greg was siding with her."I'm not afraid," she said, and walked over to Quincy, gloating in her face. "Greg has been calling you a hag, but from where I'm standing, that's being too kind, because you are a heinous bitch. You used me to save your son, but I got nothing for it, and even lost my chastity because of that! This is what you deserve!"As she ranted, she kicked Quincy as hard as she could. "I'll make sure you lose everything, just you wait! You're the reason I can't be with Isaac Jefferson, so I'll make sure Greg dumps you and ensure that you're penniless, so that you can wander the streets like a cockroach, trampled by everyone."On the other hand, James was well aware of Quincy's savagery, and Kathy's ramblings would not end well for Kathy herself.Even so, he did not stop Kathy—he simply sighed as he watc
