The Runaway Groom
Chapter 608

Chapter 608

Debbie was not going to die so soon, but while she was being locked inthe coffin with a corpse, her heart might stop from sheer terror beforeshe bled out!

Even if she survived that, being forced to stay in such a compact spacewith a corpse was sheer torment!

The reason Isaac did not set the fire right away was to make her tastedespair!

After leaving the mansion, Isaac headed to the hotel to take a bath andchange his clothes.

He was not supposed to meet Irene after being to such a terrible place,which was why he had to scrub off the foulness he felt had latched onto him!

An hour later, he headed to the mansion he arranged for Irene.Tommy was asleep after taking his medicine, and Irene was drinkingthe soup Mrs. Watson made her at the dining table.

Mrs. Watson was sad to see her burn the candles on both ends, andnow that Tommy recovered, everyone was relieved, just as Irene couldtake the time to get some proper rest!

Sheryl was tidying Tommy's clothes on the couch and appearedpuzzled when she heard the doorbell.

"Who is it?" she asked, since no one other than them had been heresince they moved here.

Irene was there with them as well, so the doorbell was rather abrupt."Could you get the door, Mom?" Irene said, thinking that it was Isaacsince he would have been done with Debbie by now.

Sheryl did so, but her face fell the instant she saw that it was Isaac,snapping, "Oh, what a rare occasion! I wonder what could havepossibly brought you here?"

Sheryl had been content and respectful toward Isaac as her son-in-lawbefore, but she was naturally hostile now. After all, Debbie had chasedthem out of their house while Tommy was still sick, even flexing herstatus as Isaac's new fiancee in their faces.

Would she have been able to do that without Isaac's own approval?Sheryl certainly held a bitter grudge for that!

"What are you doing here? Aren't you getting married soon?" she keptmocking him.

Isaac frowned and tried to look inside to replace Irene, but she was at thedining room with her soup.

Did Irene even explain what had happened to Sheryl?

However, Sheryl saw what he did and moved to stop him from looking."What are you looking at? Leave, or I'll start yelling!"

"Hold on-"

"Stop, I don't even know you," Sheryl cut him short. “Leave right now-no one wants to see you. Oh, and Irene and I agreed that we will haveTommy be named lke Spencer instead of Jefferson. You did dump him,but even if you don't care about him anymore, we do."

"Wait, did you come to laugh at us? I'm sorry, but we're doing very wellright now, so just buzz off getting married instead of wasting your timehere.”

Irene had been watching with glee just then, and finally put away herbowl as she went to them.

Isaac thought that she would help explain things to Sheryl, only for herto add fuel to the fire.

“That's right. Aren't you getting married? What are you doing here?"Isaac was speechless, and Sheryl shut the door in his face, not wantingIrene to be hurt.

Irene was actually stunned-she wanted to mess with Isaac a little, butSheryl went too far.

"Mom-"

Sheryl cut her short before she could explain, taking her hands as shesaid, "Listen, Irene-you were fooled once, so don't get fooled again. Getit? Now get some rest."

Then, as Sheryl pulled Irene along to her bedroom, she warned Irene,“You can't afford to be soft with men, or they'll bully you. I lived throughthat once, and I don't want you to go through it as well."

Irene sat on her bed.

Even if Isaac was not sincere about his engagement with Debbie, shewas one of his confidants, and her betrayal caused this whole mess.He was certainly responsible for Tommy having to suffer so much.

Still, she decided to let him have it for the day-she could just explainwhat happened to Sheryl tomorrow.

Smiling slyly at Sheryl, she said, "Mom, keep giving him an earful if hecomes again."

"Of course," Sheryl replied.

With that Irene closed her eyes-she had certainly been exhausted andfell asleep soon enough.

The skies darkened when she groggily became aware that somethingwas weighing down on her, almost suffocating her.

"Urgh.."

She slowly opened her eyes!
