The Runaway Groom Chapter 296
Chapter 296
Clearing her throat, Irene said, “You see, I’m the one who bought the graves next to our father’s.”
She had been wary toward Samantha, though it was not to say that she was helping Sheryl retain her
ce as Lionel’s legally married wife. After all, Sheryl was over Lionel, and Irene wanted her mother to
live a long, fulfilling life-she did not want a grave for her so soon.
In fact, Irene had bought it just because she did not want Samantha to be interred beside Lionel.
On the other hand, it took Ricky a long while to actually realize what Irene meant. “You did that for
Sheryl?” “More or less,” Irene said.
“Huh.” Rick sighed, realizing that he was toote.
It seemed that he was not as smart as Irene, who showed foresight while he only thought about his
mother’s funeral matters now.
“You’re really smart, Sis. Dad was right to leave Spencer Holdings in your care,” he said.
At that very moment, he was not actually jealous-instead, he was impressed with Irene’s consideration.
She had also been the one who resolved a crisis for thepany before, and he must admit that their
father had shown foresight in leaving matters to her.
In fact, the reason Lionel had not divorced Sheryl was probably not just because he still had feelings for
Sheryl, but also because he acknowledged Irene as his daughter.
“Yes, but Spencer Holdings is in your hands now,” Irene said. “That’s why you should pull yourself
together soon to lead everyone again. Your mother had been hoping for you to inherit the family’s
estates, but you have to know that money and real property aren’t alive. On the other hand, if you do
well at thepany, you would earn the money and respect. I’m sure your mother wants you to be
sessful too, so you should really do well so that she could be at ease.”
Ricky nodded at her encouragement. “Yeah.”
He had always known that Samantha wanted him to inherit the Spencer estate, and Irene was also
right in that Spencer Holdings was the family’s lifeblood, and could bring him more value!
Samantha might even be at peace now if she knew that it was in his hands.
Still, he would not have control over Spencer Holdings if Irene did not give it to him.
“Thank you, Irene.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. We’re family,” she replied.
Over at the Light Group headquarters, Quincy was presiding over the board meeting.
Naturally, Henry had to show up since Quincy would have no right otherwise.
However, things were different today, since no one was siding with Isaac, whilen was present as
well.
Quincy had managed to take him out of police custody because Isaac did not interfere, and here he
was now, showing up at the board meeting!
As the meeting started, Henry promptly threw a stack of reports on the table. “I think everyone should
see this.”
He had already toldn to prepare printed copies and distribute a copy to each board member.
Everyone was furious after they read it, and promptly turned their crosshairs on Isaac.
“We trusted you, Isaac. How could you burn our money like this?”
“That’s right! I even defended you before!”

“That’s hundreds of millions of dors lost, and you hid it from us! Who do you think we are?”
‘Exin yourself, Isaac!”
At the same time,n was smiling smugly. “Didn’t expect this, did you, Isaac? Did you really think you
could fool everyone?”
On the other hand, Henry was very direct. “I propose to remove Isaac from his position as CEO. Does
anyone have anything to say?”
This time, the board members were quiet-unlike before, none of them were defending Isaac because
they were doing this for the money. Now that their wallets were hurt, they certainly would not want him
as CEO anymore.
Moreover, Quincy had spoken to everyone in private, promising higher bonuses shouldn sessfully
rece Isaac as CEO.
The only reason they were rmending Greg Jefferson before was becausen had been arrested,
but now thatn was here, Quincy was going all out to support her son.
Even if she had been so sweet with Greg before, she was much more at ease having her son take
over.
