The Runaway Groom
Chapter 943

"Sh*t!" Stan cursed. "Let's get out of the car!"

Their jeep was too conspicuous here, and they might be in trouble if they were noticed.

As such, they alighted, and they quietly and slowly moved onward through the bushes.

They did not make a sound in fear that there were others nearby.

Irene grabbed Zachary's arm and asked softly, “The gunshots sounded very close. Do you think Isaac's alright?"

Zachary patted the back of her hand. "Don't worry—we're already here. We'll be able to find him soon.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Even so, Irene could not help worrying and had to repress her unease. However, the mountains were quiet after those gunshots, and it felt like there was no one else there at all.

Stan got up and checked their surroundings, but there were only trees and more trees, with no one to be found.

If they crouched, they would never be seen under the tall grass. Finding anyone here would be too difficult, and this was hardly the best way.

“I'll go alone, while you two maintain a distance from me," Stan suggested. “I'll call out to Mr. Jefferson, so that if there are people, they'll find me and not you."

“No, I'll do it," Zachary said. "You stick with Irene.”

“It's fine. We need to find Mr. Jefferson, don't argue right now.”

"Alright, just be careful.”

Stan actually was being reliable at a dangerous moment like this, so Zachary clapped him on the shoulder before leading Irene away.

Irene gave Stan a pat too and said, "Here. Take this."

Stan lowered his eyes to find her handing him a scalpel—she must have carried it around for self-defense.

"Wait, if you give me yours, what about you?" Stan pointed out.

“I have more," Irene replied.

With that, Stan took it and dropped to a crouch to hide within the bushes. “I'm going now."

Once he was far enough away from Zachary from the others, he stood up and looked around, ensuring that there was no one around before yelling.

But before he could do so, Irene yelped in surprise!

"What's going on?!" Stan quickly shouted.

Someone had suddenly restrained Irene while she stayed behind with Zachary, and Zachary could clearly see the person.

"Isaac!" he exclaimed in delight.

Isaac frowned. "Zachary?"

He had heard movements around the bushes, but he could not see, and he therefore could not tell who they were.

As such, he stayed quiet, and when the opportunity came, he moved without hesitation, restraining the person closest to him.

"Isaac?!" Irene turned around too, and he really was standing behind her!

She threw her arms firmly around him. “Is it really you? I was so worried!"

She was exploding with the delight of regaining what she lost before she started to check Isaac from head to toe. "Were you hurt? We heard the gunshots.”

Isaac knew that the gunshots must have been Thomas—the thugs must have returned to the vineyard when their buddies went missing. Still, he stayed calm and told her, “I'm fine, but it's not safe here. Did you bring backup?”

"No," Zachary replied. "We were on the way to you when we got your call. We headed here immediately, while James will bring his people later.”

Isaac became silent.

Irene was watching him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "It's nothing."

He was actually worried about Thomas and Marie's safety, but he must not risk their safety blindly.

They would have to wait until James arrived.

He told Zachary, "Take Irene and go."

Irene refused and kept a vice-like grip on Isaac's hand. "Where should I go? You're coming with me if I have to!"
