Chapter 793
The Runaway Groom Chapter 793
The news was supposed to be something worth celebrating, but Irene found it imusible when she
thought about it.
After all, James had yet to catch on to the trail of that gang—how would they apprehend them so
quickly?
She called Isaac’s number then, and he answered soon enough.
“Did you get the gang who hurt Erin?” she asked immediately.
“You saw the news?”
“Yeah. Did you really get them? That was fast…”
So fast that she found it unbelievable.

“That’s because it’s fake,” Isaac exined patiently. “We’re not going to get them when they’re in
hiding, which is why we’re putting up the fake news that we got them. Once they see it, they’d think—”
“Got it.” Irene was quick enough to catch on. “They’d think that we got the wrong perps and be less
wary since there are people to take the fall for them. They woulde out of their holes, and we can
get them when they do.”
“Exactly,” Isaac said, then asked, “Did you call me just for that?”
Irene wanted to ask him to help with Professor Lowe’s honey-trap issue, but she did not want him to
get distracted now that he was busy with apprehending that gang.
“Yeah. I saw the news, so I thought I should ask you what’s going on. I won’t bother you now since it’s
just your trap,” she said, and hung up.
She remained still before the window, phone in hand.
It seems that she could only depend on herself from here on out.
Finn made his way toward her then. “Director? Did Professor Lowe say no?”
Irene turned to look at him. “No.”
“Well, why the sour face?” Finn asked.
“Just get back to work,” Irene said, since she did not have the time to exin, heading straight into the
conference room.
“Do you have a solution?” Professor Lowe asked right then.
“Yeah,” Irene said as she sat down, taking out pen and notebook. “Right now, you must tell me
everything you know about those people, and the details about the woman they used as bait.”
Professor Lowe shook his head. “I don’t even know her. I only had a cup of coffee, not even a drop of
alcohol, but I somehow passed out. When I woke up after that, I was naked with a woman in bed
beside me in a hotel room.”
“Then tell me anything you know,” Irene said.
Professor Lowe was naturally very cooperative, since his future was in the bnce.
After getting the general idea, Irene asked, “Have you agreed on a date for the agreement?”
“They wanted it done as soon as possible, but I managed to buy three days,” Professor Lowe said.
“After that, I’ll be signing the agreement at their offices.”
Irene nodded. “Understood.”
“So…”
“I’lle up with something,” Irene told him. “Head home and wait for my news.”
“Okay.” Professor Lowe stood up then, watching Irene as he said, “Please don’t upset them even if you
can’t do anything. They have leverage against me—if those photos ever get out, I won’t be able to
show my face anywhere.”
“I know,” Irene said.
Once Professor Lowe left, Irene called Mark Wickers, whosepany was involved in
pharmaceuticals.
Thatpany was a pharmaceuticalpany as well, but probably because of the huge returns from
the artificial heart business.
Mark would definitely know who they were, and what Irene must do was find out if they had been doing
anything irregr.
At the same time, she should also try to steal the leverage against Professor Lowe.
Mark soon answered, and Irene immediately said, “I need a favor. New Sun Pharma—find out
everything you can about thatpany, especially if they vite regtions.”
Mark agreed to it without asking why, probably because Irene’s tone sounded very urgent.
Hanging up, Irene got to her feet—it was time to head home.
Returning to her car, she asked Eagle on the way back, “Aside frombat training, do you have other
specialties, Eagle?”
