The Runaway Groom
Though Neil wanted to flip out again, he restrained himself because of the difference in strength
between him and Eagle.
“You’re good with arguing, aren’t you? Now leave, or I’m calling the cops.”
Eagle had more to say, but Irene stopped him.
If they kept this up, they would really start fighting—and she came to make peace, not to fight.
“He doesn’t mean it. You should calm down and listen to me telling you what happened at the time—”
“What happened at the time was that you did not get our consent and you implanted an artificial heart
still in its test face,” Neil huffed. “And now my father is lying in the ICU, hanging by a thread—and you
say you are trying to save my father? Did you really, now?!”
Irene was stumped.
Yes, she tried to save Dennis, but she did not.
Even if he was not dead, he might be soon!
Still, she looked Neil in the eye and said, “I did my best—”
“Don’t bother!” Neil waved her off. “Leave, or I’m calling security!”
Irene stared at him, knowing that she had to leave with Eagle since she could not persuade Neil.
“Why is he being so unreasonable?” Eagle muttered.
Irene sighed. “No one would be able to stay calm if the same thing happens to their family. We can’t
blame him—it’s just human nature.”
They left the apartment block, with Irene standing outside the gates, feeling at a loss.
Eagle seemed to see her anxiety. “Should we tell Mr. Jefferson?”
Irene turned toward him, but she simply watched him in silence.
Eagle’s heart was pounding. “Did I say something wrong?”
“No,” Irene replied.
Now, it seemed that she must go to Isaac and ask for his help!
He would not be able to hide it anyway—there was a lawsuit now.
“It’s procedure as a legal respondent to prepare my statement of defense in fifteen days, right?” she
said self-deprecatingly. “I should prepare something now, shouldn’t I?”
Eagle listened to her, but he remained quiet.
Irene started to walk again. “Let’s go.”
Eagle opened the car door for her before driving off.
He glanced at Irene from the rearview mirror since she did not say where they were going, and he
asked tentatively, “Should we head home, ma’am?”
“No,” Irene said. “Let’s go to the Twinrise Enterprise headquarters.”
They should have an in-house legal advisor there, and she needed to consult a lawyer!
If it really came to a lawsuit, she would need Isaac to get her a reliable lawyer.
…
They soon arrived at Twinrise.
Since Isaac had basically introduced her to everyone last time, they were all respectful to him.
The front desk did not stop her and she headed straight up the elevator to Isaac’s office.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Elliot the secretary came by and said, “Mr. Jefferson isn’t here, ma’am.”
“Where did he go?” Irene asked.
“I’m not sure,” Elliot said. “It’s not for work either.”
Irene frowned.
Where did Isaac go, if it was not for work?
She whipped out her phone to call him, but his number was busy too.
Puzzled, she told Elliot flatly, “Alright, thanks.”
With that, she headed to the elevator, though she had to wait since a car was coming up.
There was a jingle as the elevator arrived, and Irene was about to enter when she saw James Cross
stepping out.
Stopping then, she asked, “James, do you know where Isaac is?”
James shook his head. “I don’t know. Isn’t he in his office?”
Irene was puzzled—even James did not know where Isaac was?!
