The Runaway Groom
Chapter 907

Eagle was not startled by Irene suddenly regaining consciousness. Instead, he quietly said, "It's good to have you back, ma'am.”

Irene's eyes focused on him just then. "What happened to me?"

"You were unconscious," Eagle told her.

Irene scanned around the room as she slowly remembered what happened and started to sit up.

Seeing that she was still frail, Eagle reached out to help her, but she waved him off. “It's alright.”

She could sit up on her own.

Eagle paused and withdrew his hands, clasping them over his back as he usually did.

Looking at him just then, Irene murmured, "Eagle..."

"Yes, ma'am. Just say the word, and I'll get it done," Eagle replied respectfully.

“There's something I need you to do," Irene said. "But I have another request before that."

“I'm listening, ma'am."

"Can you come with me to Franconia?" Irene asked.

Since Isaac was the one who hired Eagle, they must have signed an agreement beforehand.

However, she did not know if Eagle could escort her to Franconia under those terms, and she really needed him.

Though Eagle had only recently become her bodyguard, his abilities were beyond question!

"Of course, ma'am." Eagle replied. "It's in my contract that I'll escort you anywhere you go."

“Thank you." Irene pursed her lips. “I need you very much right now." Eagle lowered his eyes to avoid looking at her. "Yes, ma'am.”

"Now go to the hospital and bring Mrs. Watson home."

Mrs. Watson had recovered considerably, and while Irene would like to let her rest further, they could not afford to wait before they left the country.

"Ask her if she's willing to come with us to Franconia," Irene added. "I'll be covering for her medical expenses as well. Ask our old chauffeur as well, and tell him to pack everything if he says yes. If he says no, we'll pay him what he's due immediately."

After all, she planned to bring everyone over at once, because these were the people she and Sheryl were familiar with.

She was worried that Sheryl might not adapt to a foreign place since she did not know the language.

The children could slowly learn and she could hire a tutor to instruct Tommy and Sheryl.

However, all of that would take time.

"Yes, ma'am,” Eagle replied and left.

While he was gone, Irene helped Sheryl pack up their daily necessities and some of her own clothes.

She then stared at Isaac's wardrobe for a moment and helped him pack some too.

What if they found him and settled down afterward? He would be without his clothes!

James soon returned, but Irene was not done packing.

“You're done already?" she asked.

"You should come to our office before going to Franconia,” James told her.

"Why?" Irene asked in confusion.

And at this juncture?

"We don't know when Mr. Jefferson will return,” James replied. "That's why I enforced a media blackout. I don't want everyone to be worried once it goes public.”

Everyone would stay in line under Isaac's leadership but would inevitably get restless with their imagination if they realized that Isaac was in trouble.

Irene did not know that, but she could tell that James spoke sense. "What do I do?"

"Just show your face and say that Mr. Jefferson is letting you learn management,” James said.

"Okay." Irene nodded.

However, James saw that she was too pale, and he asked, "Would you like to put on some makeup?"

Irene nodded again. "Wait for me here."

She went upstairs and put on a suit—her only formal business wear. She then put on a thick layer of makeup to cover her paleness before heading downstairs.

James saw that her appearance was fitting and he said, "Let's go." They left the house and James drove her to the Twinrise Enterprises headquarters, parking the car in the basement.

James turned to look at her just then. "Stay calm.”

She was a little nervous, but she managed to gather herself. “I'm alright.”

With Isaac missing, she knew she must help him keep things together for now to prevent unrest.

She heaved a long sigh, opened the door, and alighted.

Puffing her chest and rearing her chin, she headed toward the elevator, with James in tow. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
