Chapter 926
The Runaway Groom Chapter 926
[Isaac Jefferson is in my custody. Return Smartville Tech to me if you want him released. Based on my
understanding, you’re his wife. That’s why I’m messaging you.]
Stan frowned after reading the message, and he whipped out his phone. “I’m calling James.”
They had to discuss this.
Irene, however, stopped him and asked, “Is Smartville Tech thatpany you mentioned before? The
one bought below its market value?”
“Yes.” Stan nodded.
“Is it really important?” Irene asked.
From her perspective, no matter how important it was, it would never be more important than Isaac’s
safety.
Stan quickly understood what she was insinuating, and he said solemnly, “We did misbehave in our
effort to acquire Smartville.”
He was being vague, since they were ying against the unspoken rules in trade andmerce.
Smartville was definitely important to Remy and its subsidiaries, because the research and
development of AI chips will soon decide market trends.
Isaac had his sights on Smartville back then—specifically, the prodigies who formed the core of the
company.
While Remy already had many subsidiaries, Isaac had definitive goals for their future development.
Founding apany like Smartvillle would take too much time and money—acquisition was the best
option.
Moreover, thepany’s capital was dwindling from poor management, not to mention that they were
not affluent in the first ce.
Smartville had to start financing to keep themselves afloat, but they needed too much capital and had
already essed many channels. Even then, their options were limited—stocks and bonds were the
only things that were earning them enough capital.
Hector Vaughn therefore had to resort to those, and Remy in turn funneled their money into Smartville’s
subsidiaries. Remy started purchasing Smartville’s stocks and bonds, and they had a stranglehold on
Smartville soon enough.
All Remy had to do was dump all Smartville’s stocks and bonds, and their market value sank to rock
bottom!
At that point, Remy just had to direct their subsidiaries to press the issue on Hector, forcing him and his
company into desperation. They had no choice but to agree to it!
With that, Remy imed Smartville at a price way beneath its market value.
Irene, however, did not understand any of that—to her, Isaac’s safety was the most important part.
Staring at Stan, she said, “Can I say yes?”
Stan was afraid of making the call and so suggested, “Why don’t we discuss this with James and
Zachary?”
“Why are we discussing this at all? Isaac’s safety is far more important!” she snapped and returned
inside her hotel room.
After a brief hesitation, she replied to the text: [Okay.]
Then, she quickly sent another: [But I must be allowed to see Isaac first.]
[No.]
The response was short and determined.

Irene was going to argue when Stan stormed inside, staring seriously at Irene. “We really should talk
about this, Mrs. Jefferson.”
Irene flung her phone on the table.
She just could not understand.
Maybe she did not know how losing Smartville would affect Remy, but from her perspective, nothing
was more important than Isaac’s safety.
“Fine! Let’s discuss it!” she snapped.
Fuming, she suddenly did not want to finish up on her makeup.
Stan called James right then and told James about the message Irene received, the contents, and
Irene’s decision.
James hesitated for a while before saying, “Actually, she calls the shots in the absence of Isaac.”
If Irene insisted on doing it, they had no way of stopping her, especially when it concerned Isaac’s
safety.
Moreover, Hector had made such a big move because he was desperate while they let down their
guard—not expecting that he would sabotage Isaac’s ne.
“Got it,” Stan replied. “We’ll head back once we’re done here.”
Putting down his phone, Stan said, “Let’s go to Twinrise now.”
“Yeah,” Irene replied softly.
She dried her hair and tied it up.
And once she was done putting on her lipstick, she left her hotel with Stan.
