The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 239

Moneypenny clearly wanted to speak, but refrained from doing so.

As he lowered his gaze, Henry snorted coldly, narrowing his turbid eyes. “You know very well that Isaac will definitely destroy Greg’s family the moment I die. I need to take away all his power while he still can.”

As long as Isaac didn’t have that much power, it wouldn’t be easy for him to ruin Greg’s family.

Moneypenny, however, believed Henry shouldn’t give up on Isaac so soon, rather than be harsh on Isaac. “Master Isaac had been helming the company over the years, and you were hardly present although you are board

chairman. There’s not much you can do, is there?”

“I’ve only given him leadership of the company, not the shares,” Henry growled.

He naturally had backup measures in place, because he could never get a read on Isaac–even if Isaac never

sought revenge on Greg Jeffersons and his family.

Moneypenny, however, believed that Henry was being paranoid, even misunderstanding Isaac.

After Isaac’s parents died so early in his life, Isaac was denied warmth and a sense of security–had Henry

treated Isaac with genuine kindness, there was no question that Isaac would be swayed.

Now, however, Henry had allowed Ian to kidnap Isaac’s son, for Ian was bent on using the boy as leverage against Isaac. It would be bizarre if Isaac wasn’t seething!

“What?! Do you think I’m wrong?” Henry demanded.

Moneypenny quickly shook his head. “Of course not.”

In the end, there was no way he would go against his own

master.

Back in Isaac’s office, Stan walked up to him and said, He’s really upset this time, isn’t he?”

Isaac was scowling–mostly out of disappointment towards his grandfather.

“Sir, we have to come up with something right now–we

have to stop the stocks from dropping,”

Stan appeared anxious, but Isaac seemed to think nothing of it.

Rising to his feet and taking Irene by the hand, he started to head outside as he said flatly, “Leave it to PR.”

Stan was speechless.

Leaving such a momentous task to PR? Is Isaac really not going to care?

“Oh, wait!” Stan exclaimed just then, almost forgetting something else. “I’ve looked into the matter, but it

wasn’t Harvey who leaked the news. He’s been busy at his office and he’s been staying in Sunny City, so he won’t have time to mess with us.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Isaac stopped right then, instantly smelling something fishy. “Get to the bottom of this.”

“Yes, sir. Also, the man we threw overboard is dead. Still, he deserved it since his criminal record is as long as my arm: robbery, rape assault and battery–he’s done it all. He just recently got out of prison and immediately worked for Ian, resuming his life as a career criminal.”

“I see,” Isaac replied.

Stan grew a little worried. “But I don’t think your grandfather is happy with this. Is he going to side with Ian?”

He was certainly surprised by Henry’s reaction–he expected rage, but not that much.

On the other hand, Isaac seemed to expect that, and thought nothing of it.

“His warning just now, and if our stocks really do keep dropping, I’m afraid—”

“Stan,” Isaac growled, cutting him short. “Do you remember why we set up a branch in Franconia?”

Stan shook his head. “You’ve never told me, and I still

have no idea…”

Hold on!

Just then, something clicked in Stan’s mind.
