Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 461 - Bab 470

Harvey was left speechless from shock.Irene nodded. "Those are the people backing Mead Clinic.""I know," Harvey groaned. "The Raideen dynasty is a famous dynasty of magnates whose legacy began from the 19th century, and one of their members became the world's first billionaire. They've now built a monopoly over Minerva's oil industry, while branching out to every other industry."Looking up at Irene, he asked, "Why are you showing this to me?""I'm not going back to Zidonia," Irene told him. "There's a lot to learn in Mead Clinic, and I like the working environment here. Actually, I know the man you warned me about—he's Mark Wickers, an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical industry. He's actually conscientious and an idealist, and he's here because he doesn't want to see Mead Clinic creating a monopoly over the research."Clenching her fingers a little, she said, "I know that this is difficult, but could you come up with a way to claim a share of this project so that it does not b

When Harvey was finished, Isaac growled, "Are you done?"Harvey nodded. "More or less—""Get out!" Isaac snarled with a hint of rage.Harvey was speechless—did he have to be so upset? And did he say anything wrong?"Don't think the whole world revolves around you, Isaac! I'll do it if you won't—so stay in your goddamned perch and earn all the money while feeling none of the happiness! Keep all that money to yourself now that she's gone!" With that, he promptly ran out of Isaac's office, denying him the chance to harass him further.After he had to deal with the man so many times, he knew Isaac's temper—he would be eaten alive and spat out if he stayed.And he certainly was no idiot. Why would he stay and wait for Isaac's abuse?…Back in his office, Isaac flung his pen aside and rubbed between his brows.He was feeling frustrated for some reason, and it could well be because of what Harvey said.He told Debbie, "Tell James to see me.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Soon, James arr

Irene did a double take, feeling a little panicked just then.She kept her email address anonymous, but James could email her back already?She then remembered that James was always helping Isaac investigate various matters, including his rivals. Something like an anonymous email was probably too easy for him.But she could not afford to have James find out about her real identity. What should she do?[Who are you? How did you know that I am looking into the Raideens?!]James clearly sounded wary, and he probably would not easily believe the data Irene sent him.Still, she remembered Harvey amid her panic, and replied: [Harvey Gooding.]If she stayed silent, she would be dead if James tracked her IP address. On the other end, James actually paused in thought, surprised to find out that it was Harvey.Remembering that Harvey met with Isaac earlier, Irene added: [Look, I met your boss today because I wanted to talk to him about the link between the Raideens and Mead Clinic.]W

James quickly explained, "This is Dr. Jane Tanner. She's a doctor here."Even so, Isaac was staring at Irene with sharp eyes that could well pierce her face mask to see underneath…She was a doctor. So, why did she flinch?And what was that disguise for?A face mask and a scarf?Nonetheless, Irene feigned composure while thickening her Minerverse accent to further disguise that she was no Zidonian. "I'm Dr. Jane Tanner—you can call me anything you want, but the issue here is your insomnia. It is already affecting your overall health, so you must cooperate with treatment."Isaac, however, pushed off his blanket and started toward her, his presence more menacing the closer he got. Irene's hands clenched her side as she braced herself. "Please, you have to lie down… Oof!"Before she could finish, Isaac had pulled off her face mask.She quickly clasped her hands over her cheeks while panic showed in her eyes, but Isaac was already left stunned.All he could think about was how

Having hatched a plan in her head, Erin was feeling buoyed and refrained from bugging James.Clasping her hands behind her back, she was grinning even as she left.She found a potential means of breakthrough, so it was not as if the day was wasted. On the other hand, James was feeling less than happy. Even as he kept walking, he was looking behind to check that he was not being followed, worried that Erin would latch on to him again.If she did, it would be a catastrophe! …Later in the evening, James got a call from Irene. "It's Dr. Tanner. Is the patient free at the moment? I can help him with the treatment now.""Of course," James replied. "We're at Olston Hotel, Room 909.""Okay," Irene said and put away her phone.She stood in front of her mirror, checking her disguise and ensuring that it was flawless before heading over.At the same time, James headed to Isaac's room to inform him, "Sir, Dr. Tanner will soon arrive for your treatment."Isaac was sitting on the c
