The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 229

As Irene followed Isaac out of the container, Ian rushed to the scene, having heard the commotion.

He glowered when he saw that Isaac had saved his wife and child. “How did you get here?”

He was convinced that Isaac would never find this place— he was too used to Stan’s style in reconnaissance, which had helped him elude them thus far.

That naturally left him confused–if he had managed to stay out of Stan’s range, how did they get here?!

Robin remembered something then, and turned toward Irene. “It was you, wasn’t it? You were fiddling with your phone on the way here. Did you leak our location?”

Ian snarled right then, “You ruined all my hard work!”

“Hard work?” Irene glared at him icily. “You deserve what’s coming at you for all that you’ve done!”

Robin realized that she had ruined Ian’s plan, and felt sorry for him while she glared at Irene with spite. If she had not naively believed Irene and gotten exploited as a result, Ian’s plan would not have fallen through, and his

casino would not have been exposed!

She clenched her fist.

On the other hand, Ian was not giving in despite the circumstances he certainly did not think that he had

lost.

He could still turn this around!

“It’s too early to think that you’ve won.” He raised his chin proudly.

Isaac kept one hand around Irene as he straightened. His shadow extended over the deck, magnifying his sinister

presence.

“Whatever you say. I’ll just mind my own business,” he growled. “Stan Hill.”

Stan quickly walked up to him. “Yes, Mr. Jefferson?”

“That man who touched my wife–feed him to the fishes.

Isaac’s tone and visage was icy, while Stan understood his orders right away.

The crew leader was too hurt to stand, and had to be dragged out of the container.

“Hey, pal. Let’s get you a drink,” Stan said as he helped his men carry him to the edge of the ship.

The man was screaming in fear. “Please, stop! I was just following orders! Ian told us to do it-”

“Do it.” Isaac naturally knew that Ian was the

mastermind, but killing the crew leader would placate

himself and Irene. He should have known better than to

lay a finger on any woman he could reach!

In addition, it was a demonstration for Ian’s crew-

provoking Isaac would only end badly for them, and their

boss would not be able to save them!

“Please, Ian! Save me!” The crew leader started bawling

then.

Ian certainly wanted to, but he could not–Isaac had clearly taken control over his ship, and he was barely safe as it was. How was he supposed to help?

Meanwhile, the man was still begging, “Please, sir! I’ve served you well and done so much for you! You can’t just let me die! You told us to do it!”

Nonetheless, Stan and his men threw him into the sea, and he landed with a loud splash!

It turns out that the man could not swim, and kept struggling to stay afloat.

“Help” he yelped after gulping a mouthful of seawater.

He would sink a foot below the surface whenever he

moved, before floating for a moment again and gulping seawater again–that process repeated endlessly as he kept struggling!

Splash, splash.

Everyone on the boat could only watch–none of them tried to help.

Ian’s crew was especially left cowering at the sight, fearful that they would be next.

They were in the midst of deep waters. Even if they could swim, they would eventually get exhausted and drown!

The man below was a perfect example.

His struggling was becoming feeble, and he was hanging on by a thread!

Meanwhile, Isaac smiled coolly. “It doesn’t pay to be in

your crew, does it?”

Ian’s face turned ashen–Isaac was clearly sowing doubts
