The Runaway Groom Chapter 282


    Chapter 282


    Ricky asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Irene had already sprung to her feet. “Look at the date-it’s today, and it starts at nine… but


    it’s 8:50 now! I won’t make it if I don’t go now. I should attend it too, since it must’ve been. hard to get


    this. I can’t miss it.”


    “Thanks, Ricky,” Irene said, not forgetting to thank him as well.


    “It’s nothing,” Ricky replied, watching her. “You’re my sister, after all.”


    “I’ll treat you to a nice dinner next time,” she said as she reached the doorway. “Bye!”


    Hurrying to Jimmy, she said, “Quick, take me to the Central Hospital.”


    Although Jimmy started the car right away, he asked in curiosity, “Again?”


    “Something came up,” Irene said patiently. “Hurry, or I’ll bete.”


    “Okay,” Jimmy replied.


    They arrived at 9:25, but when Irene reached the conference hall of the hospital, she found it empty.


    Puzzled, she nced at the address on the invitation, but she was at the right ce….


    So why was it empty?

    She whipped out her phone to call Ricky, but that was when she picked up the faint scent of a drug.


    However, she was so ustomed to smelling it that she could not identify what


    it was…


    When she realized what it was, her body was already losing strength.


    Did she just fall for a trap?


    “Jim-”


    She was going to call for Jimmy, when someone sped something over her mouth.


    Turning around, she saw that it was Ricky, and her eyes widened in shock. “What are you. doing,


    Ricky?!”


    “I don’t want to hurt you, sis-you’re my only family left after my mom died…”


    “But I cannot forgive Isaac.”


    His naive demeanor from before waspletely gone-now, there wasposure and maturity that


    Irene had never seen before.


    “I told you, he has no reason-


    “He does,” Ricky said, cutting her short. “He knows that my mom used to make life hard for


    you and your mom, so he’s killed my mom for revenge.”


    Irene froze, but soon noticed a contradiction. “He doesn’t know about Samantha, Who told you about


    that anyway?”


    “It’s none of your business. Just rx-I won’t hurt you.”


    “Ricky-”


    Irene tried to reason, only to feel a dull hit on the back of her head. She quickly cked out


    and fell unconscious, and Ricky promptly got his people to take her to his car on a stretcher.


    Once he closed the door behind Irene, he turned to look at the woman standing nearby under a tree,


    keeping her back to him.


    “I don’t know what you want, but I won’t hurt Irene. She’s my only family now.”


    The woman only turned around after Ricky drove off-it was Chad Ross’s recently wed wife, and she


    was glowering!


    She had tried to hurt Irene along with Isaac, and she was now smart enough to deceive others for her


    own ends instead of doing things herself.


    And this time, Ricky was the one she managed to deceive.


    She thought that Ricky hated Irene like Samantha did, but it turned out that he actually


    cared.


    She murdered Samantha and framed Isaac with the crime. That way, she would have pushed Ricky


    over the brink, but although he was supposed to destroy Isaac along with Irene, Ricky refused to hurt


    Irene-it makes her efforts as puppeteer only half-sessful.


    But in spite of her dissatisfaction, she did seed to some extent.


    Moreover, she had nned this for a long time.
