The Runaway Groom Chapter 222
Chapter 222
Robin stared at Irene. “Why are you so surprised?”
Irene quicklyposed herself and smiled, “Well, I’m just a doctor who only has dancing as a hobby. I
haven’t ever gambled even though I’m an adult, so an underground casino is both exciting and new to
me
‘Look, don’t tell anyone,” Robin told her. “This sort of business is illicit, and it’s an indictment if the
authorities find out.”

“My lips are sealed,” Irene said, but her tone soon changed sharply. “Wait, are you still being
considerate after he dumped you?”
“We used to be happy and that’s all that matters,” Robin quietly said, her tone conveying helplessness
and misery. “I don’t want to see him in jail even if we’ve broken up…”
“Oh, but didn’t you say that he is from the Jefferson family? They have both power and money, don’t
they? *Irene asked while feigning ignorance.
“I’m not sure, but I just know that he has a serious grudge against his cousin,” Robin replied. “That’s
why his casino is not legal and he cannot afford to operate in broad daylight. He would be fine as long
as his cousin doesn’t mess with him.”
Irene lowered her gaze, knowing that the ‘cousin‘ was Isaac
She also remembered Isaac mentioning thatn’s mother had made an attempt on his life, and
resorting to murder could only mean that there was no chance of peace between them!
Naturally, it was useful information for Isaac, so Irene pretended to be fiddling with her phone as she
texted him, while telling him, “Don’t do anything for now. I’ve managed to make friends with Robin
Lynd, so I will go in for a look first”
Any move should be ndestine before they found Tommy, or the child would be in danger ifn was
pushed too far
Saving Tommy was a priority.
On the other hand, Isaac’s expression turned gloomy when he received Irene’s text.
He already suspectedn had another ie source aside from his family, and it had to be illegal.
While Stan came up with nothing from his ongoing investigation, Irene had already found out about the
underground casino.
He was certainly displeased with Stan’s growing ipetence.
He texted back: [Be careful]
Naturally, he was also worried that Irene was going to the casino, and things would get dangerous ifn
saw her
Irene texted back (Got it]
With that, she put away her phone.
“What do you think I should say if I see him? Robin asked, suddenly feeling a little worried that she was
being impulsive
Irene quickly goaded her. “You’re breaking up anyway, so why not make it a clean one instead of being
wishy-washy? You have a right to know whether he no longer loves you or was just cheating on you. I
mean, unless you don’t want to know the reason?”
If Robin backs off now, she would not be able to find the casino.
Thankfully, Robin thought that Irene was being reasonable.
She had the right, did she not?
They soon arrived at Southport, and they alighted after Irene paid the driver.
There were mostly cargo ships around them, since it was a cargo port, with many containers kept at
the docks.
Naturally, Irene could see that a casino could be hidden around a ce like this.
“Is the casino inside a container?” she joked. “Or maybe one of the ships?”
Robin nced at her and said, “It’s in a container on a ship.”
Irene was speechless, but there was no question that no one would find out that way.
“I’m not sure, butn told me that he won’t be afraid of inspections this way,” Robin exined. “If
anyone finds out, he just has to sail the ship into international waters, and no one would be able to do
anything about it.”
Irene’s expression cooled slightly. “Yeah, the idea is perfect.”
Gambling was illegal, butn coulde up with such a gimmick to hide his operations.
It just goes to show how cunning he could be.
