The Runaway Groom

Chapter 303

Episode 303

Irene was holding Tommy, and pretended not to see Robin as she went to sit with Mrs. Watson at a quiet spot near the window.

Robin, however, remembered how she failed to humiliate Irene last time, and ended up being punished. with having to wipe the floor of the sports complex over two days.

It made her the laughing stock of her department, and even her colleagues constantly reminded her of it.

She very much wanted to resign, but she had also lost her dependency since lan was not seeing her. As such, she had to keep her job and bear with the contempt.

On the other hand, Irene had lost everything, but it somehow still felt like she was mocking Robin. Before Irene knew it, Robin was already standing beside her table, growling, “Don’t get so smug, Irene Spencer. You were only lucky once-it won’t happen again.”

Irene was playing with Tommy, and slowly looked up when she heard Robin.

Even so, she was exceedingly calm in contrast to Robin’s clear irritation. “I don’t know if things will get bad for me, but I do know that you’re having a terrible time-you wouldn’t be sulking otherwise.”

“What…” Robin’s face darkened right then. “What are you getting so smug about? Your lover was basically kicked out of Light Group. Not that glamorous now are you, Mrs. Jefferson?”

“Even if he was, he didn’t dump me. I don’t have to go hungry, bodyguards escort me everywhere I go, and I still have chauffeurs and servants. Even if Isaac is not CEO of Light Group, he’s still able to see to my needs and afford me a life of luxury. On the other hand, it’s obvious that life is hard for you, seeing how much weight you’ve lost.”

Irene never liked to brag or be nasty, but she knew that her words would have a devastating effect on Robin.

She had been listening to Stan and Isaac’s conversations, and was made aware that lan was busy working on Light Group. As a recently appointed CEO, he needed results to gain everyone’s loyalty.

Add that to the terrible look on Robin’s face, Irene could naturally tell that she was at odds with lan, and so retorted against Robin in a way that Irene knew would sting her.

And that was exactly what happened. Unable to retort or do anything to Irene at all, Robin snarled, “Don’t get so full of yourself!”

Irene smiled, unaffected. “I’m not, though you should be more self-aware, Ms. Lynd.”

“This isn’t over!” Robin snapped, and stormed off.

Mrs. Watson was pursing her lips disapprovingly. “Who is she? How could she be so rude? She acts just like a fishwife even with that pretty face.”

“That’s Robin Lynd. She’s lan Jefferson’s girlfriend,” Irene replied. “Who knows? One day they might marry, and we would become cousins.”

Naturally, ‘cousin’ was a jibe-after everything that had happened, the Jeffersons were no longer family to her or Isaac. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Watson understood, and did not ask more.

She always knew her place, and was privy to much information. As such, she never spoke or asked out of turn, or exposed the private affairs of others.

“Alright, I think we should go now.” Irene rose to her feet then.

Mrs. Watson followed. “I can carry Tommy, ma’am. You must be tired after carrying him for so long.”

“It’s fine.” Irene smiled-she had gone through so much to finally carry her baby in her arms, and would

not ask for more.

Once they returned to the mansion, Mrs. Watson and Jimmy unloaded everything they bought and carried. it inside the house, and Mrs. Watson would put everything in the right place after.

Meanwhile, Irene carried Tommy and was going back to their room when he heard Isaac’s voice from his study.

“What?!” He sounded surprised.

Stan was hanging his head and saying, “It should be Kathy York.”
