NovelEnglishThe Runaway Groom Chapter 238
Isaac acted as if he did not see Henry’s indignation, and threw the scraps of the torn papers
nonchalantly into the trash can. “If I want a divorce, we can handle it ourselves. You don’t have to
worry, Grandfather.”
With that, he sat opposite the old man, folding his legs casually. “Did you come to show me this? If
that’s so, I’ve seen it and showed you what I think.”
Henry’s face was ashen. “Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
Before Isaac could respond, he continued, “You’ve seen the news, haven’t you? Do you see what
you’ve done? What good came of it?”
“You mean I should let Tan keep my wife and child, and let that be?” Isaac asked sharply in return.
Henry was left speechless right then–his one mistake lost Isaac’s patience and respect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn’t as if Isaac never distrusted Henry. They both know how Isaac’s parents died, but Henry
persistently defended Greg.
Even so, Isaac never turned against Henry–Isaac still regarded Henry as his grandfather despite his
parents‘ murders, but what did Henry do?
He knew Ian had Irene and Tommy hostage, but did nothing.
That was what Isaac cannot abide with.
Isaac had already lost his parents, and he wasn’t about to let the same tragedy happen to his new
family.
“Sir, our stocks-”
Stan rushed into Isaac’s office the instant he returned, but clammed shut when he saw Henry. He then
walked to stand beside Irene.
Henry was basically huffing. He couldn’t do anything to Isaac, but being the previous CEO, he still had
some tricks. up his sleeve and held stature as previous head of the company.
“Moneypenny, go find out–what happened to our stocks.
“Yes, sir,” Moneypenny replied, and left the room for just five minutes before returning.
His expression was somber. “It seems Sky Group stocks plummeted because of the news…”
Henry, however, knew that beforehand -it was leverage he can use.
“Isaac, I trust you. That is why I left the company in your hands. However, you’ve made a mess of
things because you made it personal, so don’t blame me when I take back management,” he said as
he rose to his feet. “You have three days to sort this out.”
With that, he strutted out of the office on his crutch, with Moneypenny helping him.
When they got in the elevator, Moneypenny finally asked, “What are you doing, sir?”
“Can’t you see his attitude–how he spoke to me?” Henry snorted, clearly disgruntled with Isaac but not
at all aware of his mistakes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was understandable if he wanted someone competent helming Sky Group and wanted to give Ian a
chance since Isan was his grandson, but he shouldn’t have abandoned
Isaac’s child.
Moneypenny asked, “Are you siding with Master Greg?”
Henry stayed silent, but that was clearly his intent.
Coming to Isaac’s office and throwing the divorce papers. made it obvious that he had changed his
mind–he wanted Irene to marry Isaac because he believed she could help Isaac give up on his grudge,
but now, she was the reason Isaac turned against him.
It was no different from shooting himself in the foot!
“I wish he’d give up on his hate for Irene’s sake, but Ian took his son,” Henry sighed. “He must hate
Greg’s family to the bone now, and he’ll definitely make a move… All that appeasement! Wasted!“.
Moneypenny reasoned, “I’m sure you can still turn things around.”
“How?” Henry shot back.
“I believe Master Isaac still holds on to old sentiment …”
“Even if I keep appeasing him, what will happen after I die?” Henry asked.
