NovelEnglishThe Runaway Groom Chapter 249
They left the hospital with the bodyguards escorting them, not to Isaac’s mansion, but to the residence
where he kept Irene prisoner before.
There weren’t many who knew about this place, and it was relatively safer than Isaac’s mansion.
Moreover, he had arranged for people to keep constant watch for additional security.
Zachary arrived just as they put Tommy on the bed- Isaac had called him here.
He wasn’t a doctor now, but he still had enough connections to find the best and most reliable
pediatrician to act as Tommy’s attending physician, no matter how much it cost Isaac. Although he had
to resign as a doctor, which was his favorite job, he had to go with his mother’s arrangement to work at
Slate Industries for
Lulu Adams’s sake.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary searched his memory for a while, and soon came up with the right man for the job.
“Leave this to me,” he said.
Isaac said, “Make it fast.”
“Okay,” Zachary replied, and glanced at Irene. “Why
would you need another doctor for your baby, though? You are a doctor–won’t it be more reliable to
have you care for him?”
Irene, however, knew that Isaac asked Zachary’s help because Isaac was angry with her. Anyway, she
was a surgeon, and specialist pediatricians were better for the job. It was simply a matter of suitability..
That being said, no one could care for a child better than a mother. However, Isaac wanted a doctor to
ensure that Tommy is safe for now.
“How are things with Lulu?” Irene asked, trying to change the subject.
“Well, she promised to let me marry her once I took over the family business,” Zachary said feebly. “But
if I can’t…
He allowed his voice to trail off, but Irene understood it even though he left it unsaid.
She sighed it seemed it was going to be a bumpy road for him and Lulu.
Everyone seemed to be pushed around by things beyond their control, no?
The next day was the end of the three day limit Henry gave Isaac, and he arrived at Sky Group
headquarters.
He could hardly eat or sleep over the last few days as he watched the company’s stocks plummet by
the day. After all, how could he not feel anxious when his wealth was shrinking?
As such, Henry personally convened a board meeting, demanding that Isaac explain himself to the
board and forcing him to give up his position as CEO if he couldn’t.
Greg–who hadn’t shown up for a long time–came with Henry.
Henry had no choice but to side with his own son now that Isaac had obviously grown obstinate and

broke the camel’s back.
“Isaac, I gave you everything. It’s just a matter of thought if I want it back.”
Henry’s words were short and simple–he didn’t even
care to put up an appearance now.
Isaac remained impassive, his thoughts inscrutable.
On the other hand, Greg was in a good mood now that his old man was backing him–he had every
reason to return!
Leaning back on his chair and looking like he had already won, Greg gloated, “Oh, Isaac… The
company’s suffering terrible losses, but you can’t seem to handle it. You have to explain yourself to
everyone here now, don’t you?”
Isaac remained silent.
After all, he had been managing the company for years- there were those who would side with him
even if he said nothing.
To no one’s surprise, someone soon spoke out, claiming hotly, “Ian Jefferson’s crime is the reason our
stocks are dropping! How is this Isaac’s fault? You’re being outrageous!”
