The Runaway Groom

Chapter 722

Irene actually had an idea, but she just wanted Dennis to prove it.

’Tobey Kitsch, the former deputy director,' Dennis said.

Irene glowered-she was not surprised, but she was unhappy about it too.

As she took a seat on the couch, Dennis asked, "Have you decided what to do about this?"

"You've been here for a while and you know the people here," Irene countered. "What do you think?"

Dennis took the single-seat couch then, musing his words before saying, ’ It's not Finn Cook's fault. The boy is naive, and he's only sharp when it comes to academics. He made it here because he was the top of his class, and his score was much higher than the second-placer. Tobey instructed him after he arrived, though Tobey was still a head of department at the time, not deputy director."

"He's from the sticks, but he got a state scholarship, so he's the type who's studious but not good with people. He's only being terrible partly because he was used, and because Tobey used to take good care of him. You can tell that he's not well-liked around here, and his own family was poor. Since Tobey was nice to him, he thinks that what he’s doing is repayment for owing Tobey."

Then, after hesitating for a while, Dennis asked, "Could you be lenient? He has genuine talent and I think it would be a waste to dismiss him. Not that what he did was easily forgiven, of course..."
