The Runaway Groom

Chapter 19

In Harvey's mind, Irene was basically a gift from Isaac anyway.

At the same time, Irene’s heart turned cold.

So it really was Isaac! “I have a private room here where we can enjoyourselves properly.” Harvey smiled at her. “Honestly, it's weird whywouldn't Isaac want a ravishing beauty like yourself? Does he really notlike women?"

Isaac never had a girlfriend, and everyone knew that he surroundedhimself with men.

Many called him impotent, while others called him homosexual—eitherway, he could not be normal!

Irene laughed coldly.

Isaac Jefferson, not liking women? No, he just did not like her!

Just look at how upset he was because he saw Whitney messingaround with Chad-that simply meant he cared, did it not?

“Still, I should thank him properly.” Harvey chuckled as he continued.“There's no way I would make your acquaintance if not for him!”

Even if he was hurt that other day, the way Irene held a scalpel at himand threatened him was a memorable moment.

Women tend to appear unwilling all the time—but all

they do is yelp and yell, no? Not her!

He did not notice Irene’s gaze gleaming coldly as she breathed throughgritted teeth, “I should really thank

him!”

Harvey's eyes twinkled. “So, are you coming with me?”

Irene breathed, “Of course...” But even before she finished, shelowered her head and bit his hand. Then, as Harvey yelped andflinched in pain, Irene seized the moment and headbutted his face!Blood shot out of Harvey's nostrils. “Oof!"

As he clutched his face in pain, Irene seized the opening to run away.She was in fear, but she did not spare her strength as she fled.

After all, things would end horribly for her if she was caught! She mustget away!

As if having the wind in her sails, she ran at top speed, turning fromtime to time and checking if Harvey was

catching up.

She did not slow down even if there was no one behind her, and finallyreduced her pace when she reached a crowded spot.

Sweat drenched her hair, and she stopped to sit beside the road inexhaustion.

Wheezing, she watched as people of all sorts walked past, andsuddenly buried her face in her palms as she sobbed.

She bit her lip violently as she felt inconsolable hatred toward Isaac!She could not live with him—not after how he had repeatedly tried tohurt her, and she might even get killed one day!

She must get away from him, but she just could not think of anythingjust then!

Curling into a ball as she sat feebly by the road, she looked just like amiserable and lonely puppy abandoned by its owner.

She was too afraid of Isaac to return to the mansion, but she hadnowhere to go.

Without money and anyone to depend on, her survival now hinged onmoney.

Rising to her feet then, she decided to go home to Spencer Villa — itseemed that she must get some money

from Lionel.

Having made up her mind, she stopped a taxi, calming downconsiderably as she gazed out the window along the way to SpencerVilla. Paying up after arriving, she strode into the villa.
