The Runaway Groom Chapter 840
The voice on the other end asked, “Can we meet?”
Irene sat up right then. “Sure.”
“9 AM, Hot Island Coffee.”
“Sure,” Irene replied right away.
She got out of bed once the other person hung up, while Isaac asked, “Who was it?”
“I think it’s Dennis Turner’s family, asking to withdraw the lawsuit… And they were just threatening me yesterday,
but now they’re giving up? Do you think it’s a trap?” she said even as she got dressed.
Isaac stayed in bed and lay on his side, watching as she got dressed. “Just go see them.”
Irene turned around. “Hmm. Maybe they found their conscience?”
“Maybe. Are you happy?” Isaac asked.
Irene nodded. “As long as they’re willing to be reasonable.”
She was not hurting anyone in the first place—she wanted to save Dennis from the start, but ended up being sued!

Now that the tides were turning, she was certainly pleased.
After getting dressed and washing up briskly, she started to leave.
Isaac frowned. “You’re leaving without breakfast?”
“I’m worried I’ll be late,” Irene replied.
“What time are you meeting them?”
“At nine.”
Isaac was speechless.
“It’s not even eight. You’re not going to be late even after breakfast.”
With that, he forced her to stay, and he only allowed her to leave after she finished breakfast.
She was five minutes late when she arrived—the other party was already there.
She straightened her clothes before going over to them.
They told her that they would withdraw the lawsuit, but the condition was for her to release Neil Turner.
Irene was dumbfounded.
Release Neil? How?
Still, she soon heard the whole story and learned why the Turners were willing to settle now—they did not really
come round, but rather, it was because Neil had been arrested.
She could not help feeling disappointed.
So they still did not understand her intentions!
She took a deep breath, but she decided that it was ideal to resolve the issue sooner even if they were reluctant.
Then, she excused herself and headed to the washroom, where she called Isaac.
Once he answered, she asked immediately, “You set up Neil Turner?”
Isaac said, “Not really. It’s just an obvious framing, so that he would understand how it feels to be wrongly blamed.”
Irene’s fingers clenched on her phone. “Thank you. I’ve made you worry.”
“What are you saying? You’re my wife.”
Irene pursed her lips. “You’re a busy man, too. But you had to deal with my mess as well.”
“You’re now the person closest to me, Irene.”
Irene felt her heart clenching at Isaac’s rich voice. “Yeah, I know.”

Irene nodded. “Yeah. They promised to withdraw the lawsuit once I agreed to let Neil free.”
“Good.”
Irene hung up and looked at herself in the mirror just then.
She smiled, adjusting her expression and washing her hands before heading outside.
Returning to her seat, she said, “I’ll arrange for Neil’s release, but I want to receive word of the withdrawal in a
day.”
“Agreed.”
With the matter settled, Irene left the cafe and returned to the car, telling Eagle, “Hotmesh Research.”
That was when her phone rang with a call from Ray Hall.
She quickly picked up, and he said urgently, “Please come to the hospital, quick.”
“Did something happen?” Irene asked.
“Yes, you should hurry.”
Irene quickly directed Eagle to turn the car to the hospital, and they arrived in half an hour.
Finding Ray, she asked, “What happened?”
“Oh, you’re here!” Ray placed a hand on her shoulder in excitement. “It’s great news!”
