The Runaway Groom
Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Harvey appeared with bags under his eyes. “No, you don't have to.”

He had been worried because Irene never left Isaac's room the whole night, so he had been eavesdropping as he stayed outside.

James frowned. "You've learned to eavesdrop now, Harvey? Picking up more unnecessary skills, are we?"

“You're the one who left the door open. I just came in," Harvey retorted, then turned toward Isaac “You don't have to look into anything-I paid off Jane Tanner to seduce you. She's ugly, but she somehow doesn't disgust you, right? That's because she put on a fragrance that confounds you. It's exactly because she's hideous that I hired her just to mess with you."

"You're despicable!" James exclaimed-but Harvey's scheme did explain everything.

He had just been curious as to why Isaac did not feel disgust toward that ugly woman!

“I'm no match for him when it comes to business. Why can't I harass him in some other way?" Harvey tried to make his lie sound as true as possible.

There was no helping it-he had to slander Irene to avoid her meeting Isaac too much. If Isaac believed that Irene was Harvey's honeytrap, he would naturally stay away.

"You're heinous, Harvey," James said, belittling Harvey for having resorted to underhanded behavior. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, Harvey could not care less as long as he got what he wanted. Naturally, Isaac was fuming-Harvey had bought out that woman? Amazing. To think that an ugly woman would mess with him!

"Your gift is gracefully accepted, Harvey Gooding."

Harvey sharply felt a foreboding sensation. "What are you doing?"

“I just accepted your gift. Don't I have to give you something in return? Tit for tat-Isaac was not someone who would take any insult lying down. They were harassing him? Fine.

Harvey was panicking, but he did not regret what he did.

Isaac's revenge was much better than letting him find out that Jane Tanner was actually Irene Spencer!

An anonymous email attached with a video started making rounds at Mead Clinic, showing two of their doctors who were touted to be the next attending physician.

No one knew beforehand that they were in a relationship, and couples were not supposed to work in the same department. That was necessary to prevent conspiracies and the upsetting of the hierarchy of command.

Moreover, the video clearly recorded their conversation where they were using underhanded means to oust a rival.

They were instantly the hottest topic, and caused considerable unrest among the hospital staff.

Both were soon called in to the hospital chiefs office-unable to accommodate such disgrace, they were summarily dismissed. However, Irene felt neither joy nor dismay.

She remained neutral.

A doctor's job was to help patients and that was all they had to do. Resorting to unsavory means to oust a rival already made obvious their character was wanting.

Such individuals did not deserve sympathy.

Meanwhile, Irene was on duty when a patient was rushed to the emergency room with a rebar piercing his heart, having taken a fall at a construction site.

"Dr. Tanner? The surgery is too risky and you're heavily pregnant. You should let someone else take the scalpel...”

"l can do it," Irene insisted, and after six hours of work and the occasional close shaves, the surgery proved a success.

The patient was kept at ICU, as it would take him a while to recover. “You're a miracle worker, Dr. Tanner."

The patient was certainly almost on the brink, but Irene proved herself to everyone again.

still, she was exhausted, and remained seated on a chair in the operating room for a long time, feeling slight discomfort in her belly.

There was no helping it-she was heavily pregnant, and standing for too long would leave her exhausted.

After she left work, she called Harvey's number. Although she wanted to ask to meet him, he was not answering.

She frowned-she thought of a way to help Lulu and Ricky, and needed his help.

Having no other choice, she went looking for him at Olston Hotel, where she found a crowd gathered outside Harvey's room.

Curious, she walked over and peeked inside...
