The Runaway Groom Chapter 776
Lara glared at Irene and asked, “Seth loves you, doesn’t he?”
Irene frowned.
“You’re imagining things—”
“I’m not.My groom ran away and came here to Zidonia.And the only woman he was in contact with is you.”
It turns out that Lara came to Irene not only because she hurt Seth, but to find out what was going on between
Irene and Seth! Irene raised a brow in turn.It seems this misunderstanding would persist if she did not make things
clear.
“First of all, I didn’t even know that he’s a runaway groom.We were just neighbors in the past, and we’ve never met
or been in touch since he moved abroad.You can even verify that.In fact, we were only reunited by chance because
I needed plastic surgery, and he happened to be the surgeon arranged by a friend.We barely met that many times
even then.” Lara certainly never found evidence that Seth was in contact with Irene before returning to the country.

“Because he’s disgusting,” Irene replied.
“What? Is that it?” Lara exclaimed in disbelief.
“Yes, that’s exactly it. We aren’t even friends, so you have nothing to worry about. In fact, I’m married —the man
with me just now? That’s my husband.”
“Oh!” Lara gasped in surprise, relieved considerably and actually smiling.
“Well then, good job. Seth’s not running anywhere now.” Irene asked.
“So? Can you go now?”
“Sure,” Lara turned and strode off, but soon paused.
“You won’t be seeing Seth again, right?”
“No, but you’d better keep him on a leash. Cripple him if he still tries to run off, keep him wheelchair bound. He
won’t be going anywhere that way,” Irene said half-jokingly. She naturally had her own reasons for wanting Seth to
get married soon, and the first was because she did not want Seth to bug her anymore.
The second was that she was still traumatized after what Harvey Gooding did, and she would always hate Seth and
Harvey for it! For Seth’s part, he probably did not like his fiancee—he would not have run away otherwise.And it
would be torture for anyone to stay with a person they disliked, would it not? Lara actually raised a brow, but
Irene’s ruthlessness made it obvious that she had nothing to do with Seth! “Well, that’s a little radical for my tastes
so no,” she said, though it never crossed her mind that such extreme measures were viable.
“I won’t do it, but I will keep a close eye on him. Once he’s better, I’m taking him back to Minerva, and we will get
married.” Once Lara was gone, Irene turned to Eagle.
“How did she get in here?” She knew Eagle’s abilities, and Lara was never making it in if he did not let her.
“Mr.Jefferson let her in,” Eagle admitted.
“Are you sure?” Lrene was left confused just then.
“Yes, ma’am,” Eagle answered assuredly.
But why would Isaac let her in? Lara looked violent when they saw her outside the building, or was Isaac not afraid
that she would hurt Irene? What was he thinking?! Professor Novsky arrived then.

Deciding that she would not solve the mystery soon, Irene gave up.
Turning to Eagle, she said, “You can head outside now.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
With that, Irene and Professor Novsky headed towards the conference room, discussing as they walked together,
“Actually, there’s this option I think we could go for…”
After Lulu and Martin finished their breakfast, the latter asked, ” Drive you home?”
Lulu was embarrassed.
“My home isn’t that far away. You’ve been up all night too, so you should head home soon.”
“Alright. Be careful.”
While Martin drove off, Lulu stood by the road, inhaling deeply the fresh air of the morning. She had been working
the entire night, and she was now sleepy. She strolled along the road—she was not lying since she really was
staying near the precinct, and she chose that place for the convenience of her job as well.
Once home, she took a bath, lay in bed, and closed her eyes. However, she suddenly sat up as she remembered
something!
