The Runaway Groom Chapter 827
“There’s a misunderstanding,” Irene reasoned. “I just want to meet you to explain—”
“You actually have something to say? Weren’t you eager to hide from me? Even sicking your man on me? Now
you’re finally eager to talk after I sued you?! I’ll make it very clear—I won’t settle!”
Irene stayed calm even though Neil was bellowing at her. “I don’t need your forgiveness, because I’m not hurting
anyone. I wanted to save your father, which was why, under the circumstances—”
“Don’t tell me. Tell the judge, and see if what you did was up to regulation!” Neil growled and added, “And don’t call
me again, or I’ll sue you for harassment too!”
Irene certainly did not expect Neil to go that far!
Even as she sighed to herself inwardly, she said, “Your father is a medical researcher, and you should know why his
research centers around the heart. He wants to save more people, or would you want to see him die because of
heart failure? I broke regulations, but I saved your father. He would be dead if not for me—”

Neil hung up on her again.
Irene flung her phone on the seat, and rubbed her temples that were aching terribly!
Eagle turned to glance at her. “Can I help?”
However, Irene thought that Eagle actually would not be useful in this situation, and said, “No, it’s alright.”
“Just tell me who you want to meet. I’ll bring them to you,” Eagle told her.
Irene laughed in amusement. “Abduction is illegal. He already sued me, and that would just give him another cause
to sue me.”
“Itches fades when you get used to it.” Eagle said.
Irene was speechless. Was that actually a good piece of advice or a bad one?
It felt to her like it was the latter.
“You’re feeling a bit of schadenfreude, huh?” Irene asked, staring at him.
“No, ma’am,” Eagle quickly explained. “I just wanted to help you.”
Irene smiled. “I was just teasing you.”
Eagle was speechless.
…
Irene knew Dennis’s address.
If she could not get through to Neil, she would talk to Dennis’s wife.
She would never believe that every member of Dennis’s family could be that unreasonable!
She gave Eagle the address and he quickly drove her there.
Still, it was a while before they reached it.
Irene had Eagle stay with her this time, because she was not sure that things would get physical as she went
knocking on the Turners’ doorstep.
After all, Dennis was still lying on a hospital bed, his fate unknown!
Ding dong…
As she pressed the doorbell, she heard a man’s voice from behind, barking, “How dare you come knocking on our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoorstep?!”
Irene could tell it was Neil without looking and she frowned.
Turning around stiffly, she said, “I came to talk to your mother.”
“She fainted at the hospital and hasn’t come home. Didn’t you know?!” Neil was glaring, though he restrained
himself when he saw Eagle.
After all, the man was really intimidating and Neil did not dare to mess around.
For Irene’s part, she had actually forgotten that Neil told her about that.
“Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we sit down and have a calm discussion?”
Neil wanted to refuse. “No—”
“I think you should,” Eagle said as he leveled a pressuring glare at Neil. “The madam is always busy, but she’s
respectful enough to come see you.”
The corner of Neil’s eyes twitched. “Touch me again and I’m suing you too.”
Eagle was silent for a while, and barked, “What can you do other than suing people? Do you even understand what
people are telling you?!”
