The Runaway Groom Chapter 923

Irene was so anxious her voice was shaking. “Hello?”

Meeting Lulu’s eyes just then, she quickly stepped out of her ward and leaned against the wall outside, calming herself for a moment and asking softly, “Is there news on Isaac?”

James was quiet for a while before answering, “It’s bad news.”

Irene’s heart sank, and it felt as if every bit of strength she had was drained from her body.

Irene had no idea what that would lead to, and she asked, “Is that something concerning?”

James was quiet again before saying, “It would be great if you can speak on his behalf. You’re legally Mr. Jefferson’s wife and would therefore inherit everything, so—”

“Isaac’s not dead! I’m not inheriting anything!” Irene shouted, but she soon regretted it—she should not have responded to James like that, but she was really in a bad mood!
