The Runaway Groom

Chapter 445

Irene agreed to be the scapegoat implicated with Yvaine's death.

And it was all because Yvaine had written her letter, asking her to save Mick.

She just wanted to carry out Yvaine's will, only for lsaac to misunderstand and give her the silent treatment.

How miserable must she have felt? She could not tell him anything because Yvaine told her not to, leaving her to suffer it all alone!

"My selfishness led to this. I shouldn't have asked someone innocent to take the fall just to save a friend, and cause a misunderstanding between you and her. I'm sorry-"

“Sorry?” Isaac scoffed. "Did you think that's going to cut it?!”

Stephen did not dare to say a word in response-it was true, a mere sorry was not going to cut it.

“Violated your ethics as a doctor’, was it? Then you shouldn't keep your job, or you'll insult the profession,” Isaac growled before turning to leave.

He then stopped at the doorway, and added without looking back, "People like you don't deserve anything.”

With that, he strode out, just as James arrived.

He was worried, and quickly hurried to Isaac when he saw him. "Mr. Jefferson."

Isaac handed James the letter he was holding, and kept walking as he said, "Take everything that belonged to her.”

James took the letter, scanned through it, and quickly answered, “Yes, sir."
