The Runaway Groom
Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Although Harvey looked masculine as he shielded Irene, he had alwaysled an easy life and had never been in a fight. The men from theHummers, however, were all as burly as they were strong, easilydragging him out of their way!

While grabbing Irene would have been an easy task after that, Irenehad grabbed on to the car door and refused to get out. “Who are youpeople?!”

“Don’t ask. Just come quietly, and we won't hurt you—resist, and we willhave to resort to violence.” The men’s faces were stiff and impassive.Naturally, Irene refused to let go since she had no idea where theycame from, or who she had offended enough to send them!

“What do you think you are doing?!" Harvey was losing his temper—oneof the men had restrained him, but none of the others were beingviolent, and it was clear that they were only after Irene.

“Don’t bother,” the man restraining him then told his friends, “take himaway and be quick. Don't leave any traces either.”

With that, Irene was dragged away from the Phantom and stuffedinside one of the Hummers.

Through it all, Harvey could only watch. He could not do a thing as hisbride was stolen during his own wedding. Who could be behind this?!The men moved as one, too—once they got Irene, the man restrainingHarvey released him and left with the others.

“After them!" Harvey quickly bellowed at his men, but he had no onebut himself to vent.

Moreover, it was too late when his men came to their senses—theHummer convoy had also clearly been prepared to intercept Harvey'scar in the first place, making any effort to pursue futile.

Naturally, his wedding had to be called off in the absence of a bride,and the guests were all wondering what had happened.

Even so, Harvey did not even care what they were saying, and left themess to his assistant while he and his men tracked down Irene.However, the Hummers seemed to have left the city and there was notrace of them since, which meant it was a dud for Harvey.

He then headed to Spencer Mansion and spoke to Ricky, asking ifIrene recently had a beef with anyone.

“No, but...” Ricky paused.

“But, what?" Harvey pressed urgently.

“If there is one person I had to name, wouldn't that be you?"

Harvey was speechless for a moment, but quickly said, “Look, I mayhave demanded that she marry me, but I've never hurt her...”

Ricky cut him short. “Forcing her to marry you is hurting her.”

That left Harvey speechless again.

Forcing her to marry him when there was no love involved was certainlyimmoral!

Still, this was not the time for that—replaceing Irene took priority.

“You lost her, so look for her yourself.” Ricky appeared unconcerned,however he was only concerned with doing what Irene bade him to dobefore at the moment.

Harvey snorted, knowing right then that he had approached the wrongperson. “You may be step—siblings, but she’s still your sister. You callyourself family, showing no concern when she’s taken away?"

“She's basically your wife, and you've failed to protect her,” Rickypromptly retorted. “You took her out of this mansion too—shouldn’t I beasking you where she is now?!”

Harvey was left speechless, and turned to leave—he had no cluewhere Irene had been taken to, and instead got dissed endlessly!Ricky then added relentlessly, “You lost her, so you'd better get herback unscathed. I'll hold it against you if she’s hurt.”

Harvey honestly did not mean to hurt her this time—he just wanted tomarry Irene, and had even hired a professional babysitter to care forher son.

“You don't have to go that far,” he growled as he strode off. “I'll do mybest.”

After he left, however, worry finally showed on Ricky's face—he was aspuzzled as he was anxious.
