The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 230

As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the containers, and swarmed toward Ian when they saw him.

“Why are the coast guard coming?” they demanded.

They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about getting caught.

“Just shut up if you don’t want to get caught,” Ian growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd as he made his way to Isaac. “Things won’t end well for you once word of this gets out. Don’t forget–I’m your family. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the reputation of the illustrious Jefferson dynasty?”

Though he owned this illegal casino, everyone knew who he was!

If he was indicted and once word got out, Isaac would not fare any better?

Isaac remained indifferent, his lips curling up with disdain and callousness. “What does that have to do with me?”

He might be a Jefferson, but after seeing that Henry had come aboard without lifting a finger to save Irene or his child, he no longer had any qualms!

From now on, he would protect his real family–Irene and Tommy deserved all his attention.

Fearing arrest, the crowd was in an uproar as panic and guilt seized them.

Stan and his men cleared a path, while Isaac left with Irene and Tommy on another boat.
