The Runaway Groom

Chapter 295

Any idiot could have told that there would have been people watching Samantha even though she was transported to the prison.

The only reason she had escaped was because someone well-connected got her out.

Ricky was agitated even as he listened to the verdict.

Seeing that his hands were balled into fists, Irene tried to assure him, “Just calm down.”

“I can’t.” Ricky wanted to stay calm too, but he could not-his mother was murdered, but they were now saying that she killed herself!

Knowing the truth he was unable to accept the verdict… but he had no evidence either!

Despite his knowledge, he could not do anything, leaving him utterly indignant!

Irene sighed softly-she understood how he felt, and said nothing.

He was going to need time after this.

The verdict announcement ended soon enough, and they were allowed to take Samantha’s body to bury it.

Ricky left and Sheryl went with him, while Irene waited outside.

That was when she saw a female journalist walking nearby. Though she was not paying the latter much attention, she somehow found her familiar but could not put a finger on where they had met.

Then, as the other woman walked past her, she turned to look.

Irene was taken aback by the look in her eyes-she thought she saw spite, even though they were not acquainted!

Still, just as Irene wanted to talk to her, Sheryl called out from inside, “Irene? We need a hand here.”

Irene took one last look at the other woman and headed inside.

When she turned, she missed the naked spite in the woman’s eyes!

Sheryl was watching as people carried off Samantha’s body, and they had already arranged for a hearse.

Ricky was still injured and could not do much aside from signing papers, so Sheryl asked Irene to lead him to the car.

After being kept at the morgue for quite a while, Samantha’s body had to be buried quickly. Ricky had planned for her to be interred at the same graveyard as Lionel Spencer, but the spot next to Lionel’s had been purchased.

Still, Ricky wanted to bury her with Lionel, so he asked, “Would you be upset if I buried Mom with Dad?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“She was with him for over twenty years, hasn’t she?” Irene said. “She’s pretty much his wife even if they weren’t actually married.”

Ricky cheered up a little. “Okay… I’m relieved that you’d say so.”

Still, Irene held his gaze, her expression suddenly serious. “Since we’re talking about this, I’m going to tell you something… Please don’t get upset.”

Ricky rarely saw her being serious, and his heart skipped a beat.

Was she hiding something from him?

“What is it, Irene?” he asked, his throat feeling a little parched just then.

Irene said, “About the grave-”

“The grave? What about it?” Ricky interrupted before she could finish.

Irene really wanted to roll her eyes at him just then.

“Could you let me finish?”

“Oh!” Ricky exclaimed right then. “Alright, I’ll stop. Tell me.”
