The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371

Irene did want to weasel her way out of that and deliberately miss the point.

Judging from Isaac’s reaction, however, she was not getting out of this if she did not explain herself.

Clearing her throat, she said, “So… Lulu and Zachary were fighting because Zachary cheated on her. Lulu was feeling terrible, so I drank with her… and ended up having too much to drink.”

“Why was Harvey with you?”

That was what Isaac cared most about, so Irene continued, “Lulu wanted to get drunk, but I couldn’t think of any places. Harvey suggested that nightclub, and we used his private box…”

Her voice trailed off at the last part.

“And?”

“And I kept Harvey outside, while Lulu and I drank inside. Check the cameras if you don’t believe me.”

She might have drunk too much yesterday, but she still remembered everything before she got drunk.

Bzzt-

Isaac’s phone suddenly vibrated on the table, and he picked it up to see that it was another photo from Harvey.

It was from one of the nightclub’s cameras, and it showed Harvey having his hands around Irene.

At the time, she was heading to the washroom but tripped, and Harvey caught her in time.

However, in the absence of context, it was a photo of them being very close. Moreover, from that angle, it looked more like he was just hugging than keeping her on her feet.

As Isaac scowled visibly, Irene kept quiet and craned her head for a look… time seemed to freeze right then, just as she scowled too.

“I just tripped over a table, and he caught me in time,” she quickly explained, while cursing Harvey in her mind.

Why would he send that to Isaac? Was he crazy? Had he not messed with her enough?

“I was drunk…”

As she kept trying to explain, however, Isaac suddenly got out of bed.

“Isaac…”

“I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“I know you are. You don’t have to keep telling me–it’s annoying.”

With that, Isaac strode out of the room, even as he remembered what she told him: she could set him aside for the sake of her career, and that she believed that he only cared about money and power.

What did she take him for? Why did she keep emphasizing that she was very busy as if it only applied to her? Did he look like he had been goofing off?

Irene was left at a loss for words, and stood where she was for a while and wondered what he meant.

Nonetheless, she quickly got changed and left for work without breakfast.

She had done nothing wrong, and she could not do a thing if he still doubted her.

Explaining would also be futile, and he can investigate as much as he liked.

Naturally, Irene was feeling grumpy as she left, and it showed on her face.

When she arrived at the hospital, she inadvertently knocked into someone.

“Sorry,” she said in apology without even looking up.

“Wait,” the other person told her, and she finally looked up.
