The Runaway Groom Chapter 24


    Chapter 24 Irene had no idea what Isaac was talking about.


    Looking up into his eyes for two heartbeats, she eventually realized what it was, but did not react.


    He must be humiliating her again.


    She simply kept her head down and ate as quickly as she could.


    Isaac naturally frowned because of her silence. “What‘s the hurry? No one is stealing from you.”


    He was actually perplexed —the boorish way she wolfed her food was somehow eptable, even a


    little adorable.


    It was much better than pretentious women who put up a prim and proper act.


    Nheless, Irene waited until she was finally finished and drank two mouthfuls of water, before


    snapping,” How I eat is my own business. Why do you care?!”


    Jobless because of him, she had nothing to fear now-it was time to go all out!


    Isaac slowly looked up, his visage projecting coldness just then. “You‘re too bored, aren‘t you?”


    What happened to her? What was with that false bravado?


    And her wording... She really wanted to be fired, did she


    not?


    Even so, Irene red at him coldly. “I am bored, so kill me if you want. Do you think you can call


    yourself a man, using dirty tricks all the time?“.


    Isaac was actually left confused by what she said just then. “Are you crazy?”


    Irene tried to calm herself just then, but could not do it when she remembered Harvey. Laughing coldly,


    she even started to call Isaac by name.” Don‘t push me, Isaac Jefferson! if I really lose it, I‘ll tell


    everyone that I‘m your wife, and that I cheated on you as well! You‘re a cuck!”


    Isaac stared at her impassively, his pupils dting without him knowing and shing fiercely. “Do you


    know what you‘re talking about?“.


    Irene simplyughed. “Of course I do! But I‘m not afraid of you–not after you tried to let that man rape


    me twice! I know I‘ll never get anything even if I y nice, because you‘re an animal!”


    Incensed , Isaac sprang forward and grabbed her throat, his fury fueling his murderous intent!

    She had really gone out of line this time!


    Irene choked from theck of air, but squeezed her voice


    out of her throat despite much difficulty, “That‘s... all you can do anyway... bullying women...”


    Even as her face turned red from suffocation, Isaac‘s arrogant visage turned into an evil sneer.


    “Bullying women isn‘t my forte–bullying you is.”


    Meanwhile, Irene‘s chest heaved. All oxygen had left her lungs and she could not breathe, but she still


    leveled a defiant and spiteful re at him.


    Mrs. Watson had been watching in fear, and seeing that Irene was almost dying, she braced herself


    and went up to them. “Mr. Jefferson , your wife surely didn‘t mean it... Please let her off this one time...”


    Isaac was not about to relent just because someone was pleading Irene‘s case. In fact, he would see


    how far she could go–how much more stubborn and spiteful could she be?


    Flustered , Mrs. Watson cried, “Please, Mrs. Jefferson – say something pleasant. Mr. Jefferson isn‘t a


    bad man...” Having decided not to yield, Irene smiled in disdain as if she had just heard a joke, and


    turned toward Isaac. “He isn‘t... a bad man? He‘s just... ashamed... his friend didn‘t get me!”


    “What man?” Isaac asked, finally noticing something strange and easing his grip on her throat. Irene


    quickly gasped mouthfuls of air.


    “Didn‘t you lure me to Blue Bridge ... so that your friend could defile me?!”


    Isaac narrowed his eyes. He suddenly felt something sharp stabbing his lungs, and breathing suddenly


    hurt. “I did what?”
