The Runaway Groom -
Chapter 205
Chapter 205
Harvey quickly answered the telephone, believing that there was news about Irene.
“Hello...7”
“We have your mother. Come meet Master Jefferson if you want her freed.”
“Moneypenny?!” Harvey remembered the butler’s voice, and narrowed his eyes. “He took my mother?”
“Yes,” Moneypenny replied.
“Where?” Harvey growled through clenched teeth.
"Hibiscus Garden.”
“I'll be right there.” He snarled every word, his face contorted with rage. Even if there were times when he was unreliable, he cared for his parents very much—especially his mother—and he had never committed any unforgivable crimes!
“Get the car. We're leaving.” Harvey growled urgently.
Enrique was left confused.
He wanted the chopper a moment ago, and now the car? Which was it, exactly?
“Mr. Gooding...?"
“The car!” Harvey barked.
Having confirmed his order, Enrique quickly said, “I will go right now.” After Enrique left, Harvey was left scratching his neck in frustration. Forget not finding Irene—even his mother was now taken away.
How could he not be furious?
His stress had certainly been piling over the last few days. He had actually lost weight, as well as grown dark circles under his eyes from last night!
He was absolutely livid!
As he got in the car, he urged Enrique to drive faster.
Still, he arrived at Hibiscus Garden before Henry did, and therefore had to wait.
Waiting was never something pleasant, and the look on his face was terrible as he kept glancing at his watch
When he had almost had enough of waiting and was about to leave, Henry slowly arrived at the scene, approaching him while Moneypenny supported him.
Harvey rose to his feet, instantly demanding, “What is this? Why did you kidnap my mother?!"
“You messed with me first, didn't you?" Henry asked in return.
Harvey was silenced!
Meanwhile, Henry was taking his sweet time to be seated and cut straight to the point, “Give me Irene’s child, and you'll have your mother back.”
Harvey frowned
He had been cautious against Isaac, but had forgotten his grandfather. He realized how big of a blunder he just made then!
Still, he tried to play dumb. “I don’t know what you're talking about.” “Oh, you're a funny one.” Henry smiled. “Did you think I'm the type of person who would make a move without knowing what I'm getting into?”
Harvey was left in a dilemma right then—he would have no leverage to coerce Irene into marrying him once he surrendered her child, and he absolutely did not want that.
However, there was no way he could abandon his own mother!
“Did Irene put you up to this?" he asked, trying to perceive if Irene was hiding with the Jeffersons.
Maybe Henry knows where she is, and she might even be the one who thought this whole thing up!
Nonetheless, Henry replied, “No.”
Harvey was doubtful. “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?" Henry asked in return.
Harvey realized that he was right just then—lying was meaningless “Have you made up your mind now?" Henry asked just then
Harvey knew right then he had no choice, because he could not abandon his mother.
“Fine. You can have the boy.”
“Bring him with you to Jefferson Manor,” Henry said, and rose to his feet, with Moneypenny quickly moving to help him again.
Harvey left soon after Henry did, and told Enrique, “Find out who went to Sunny City and kidnapped my mother.”
“Yes, sir,” Enrique replied.
One way or another, Harvey's plan-which he spent so much time, money and effort to put together—had now fallen apart.
He was seething, but he had no choice but to exchange hostages with Henry!
He drove to the location where he had hidden Tommy!
