The Runaway Groom

Chapter 124

Amidst the confusion, Irene saw that Isaac was on top of her.

“W-What’s wrong?” she asked, but it was as if he was unable to hear her as he violently shredded her clothes.

He was no different from a rampaging beast-violent and unreasonable.

Irene struggled, but her strength was insignificant to him, and she felt chills all over as her clothes were torn off, leaving her naked right before him.

Her eyes welling with tears, she rasped, “Why are you doing this?!”

“That’s my question!” he snarled with a coldness that reverberated from his throat. “You had your father beg for a divorce! Could you stoop any lower?!”

Irene did a double take-Lionel had actually begged Henry just to help her get a divorce?

She felt a stuffy sensation over her chest, and suddenly could not breathe.

Isaac furiously grabbed her chin then, “Have I not done right by you? Is your heart really made of ice? Huh?!”

Irene looked him straight in the eye then, and saw his disappointment, heartache, and desolation.
