The Runaway Groom
Chapter 833

Irene looked Isaac straight in the eye. "Uglies don't cheat.”

Isaac raised a brow, his visage alluring. "Did I cheat?"

"...Not at the moment, but I wouldn't know. In the future...”

Isaac leaned in and bit her nose. "I won't."

"Ow." Irene grunted, pushing him away.

Isaac beamed at her, his eyes twinkling beneath his thick lashes. "Where does it hurt?"

Irene was speechless.

Getting frisky again, huh?

"Stop it, I'm not in the mood," she said sternly.

"Yeah," Isaac tamely got off her, while both of them composed themselves and straightened their clothes.

"By the way, did you go to my office to look for me?" Isaac asked. "Yeah," Irene replied. “I had something to talk to you about, but it's resolved now."

"Hmm." Isaac frowned. "What could be resolved so quickly?"

“I was sued,” Irene admitted. "That's why I wanted your help looking for a good lawyer. You weren't there, so James introduced me to a member of your legal team. The man looked formidable, even agreeing to help me resolve it."

She did not want to trouble Isaac, but James would have told Isaac even if she did not. And since she was not resolving the issue herself, she had to ask for help. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yeah," Isaac said. "You can trust the legal team."

Irene nodded. "Yeah, so just properly deal with lan Jefferson and that funeral. I'l consult my lawyer about the lawsuit."

Isaac nodded as well. "I'l talk to them too.

All of Cloud City was astonished once word of Henry's death got out! They held influence despite their recent decline, and since Isaac's influence now surpassed them at their peak, it naturally garnered considerable attention.

Still, Isaac kept things quiet by having Greg preside over the funeral on the surface.

All the people who attended the funeral were either Henry's friends or close relatives of the family.

None of Isaac's friends came, however, because he did not let them. Regardless, the funeral was quite grand, since Henry was an important person himself in his younger years.

It was only when he got old and senile that he left Isaac disillusioned, leaving his own family in pieces!

As his granddaughter-in-law, Irene should be showing up at the funeral as well out of obligation.

Irene did not, however, because she had a court summons to answer, while Dennis Turner remained unconscious and was still hanging by a thread.

Neil Turner sued her not for the money, but to have her admit her mistake in this issue.

She would have to take responsibility if Dennis died, and paying damages would be inevitable.

Throughout the court session, her lawyer answered every question. The lawyer was certainly prepared, having investigated the entire incident as well as the people present.

Hotmesh Research employees were all taking Irene's side too, because they understood that Irene really wanted to save Dennis. Hence, Irene's lawyer could argue righteously and earnestly. "Mr. Turner, I would be thanking Ms. Spencer if I were you. She's the reason your father is alive, and she even withstood the pressure and risk to perform that surgery.”

“That is not the point. She broke regulations when she performed that surgery. She isn't Dennis Turner's family, and she does not have the authority to make the call.”

“No, she isn't Mr. Turner's family, but she's close enough to be one. Moreover, your logic seems to postulate that if we find a patient lying on the street, about to die, we'd need their family's consent before performing emergency resuscitation. Are you sure there's always time to follow procedure? Or would you sue regardless, this time accusing the defendant of not helping when she could? Or perhaps regulations are more important than a person's life?"

"Regulations are there to enforce discipline, not to take a person's life!"
