The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 222

Robin stared at Irene. “Why are you so surprised?”

Irene quickly composed herself and smiled, “Well, I’m just a doctor who only has dancing as a hobby. I haven’t ever gambled even though I’m an adult, so an underground casino is both exciting and new to me

‘Look, don’t tell anyone,” Robin told her. “This sort of business is illicit, and it’s an indictment if the authorities find out.”

“My lips are sealed,” Irene said, but her tone soon changed sharply. “Wait, are you still being considerate after he dumped you?”

“We used to be happy and that’s all that matters,” Robin quietly said, her tone conveying helplessness and misery. “I don’t want to see him in jail even if we’ve broken up…”

“Oh, but didn’t you say that he is from the Jefferson family? They have both power and money, don’t they? *Irene asked while feigning ignorance.

“I’m not sure, but I just know that he has a serious grudge against his cousin,” Robin replied. “That’s why his casino is not legal and he cannot afford to operate in broad daylight. He would be fine as long as his cousin doesn’t mess with him.”

Irene lowered her gaze, knowing that the ‘cousin‘ was Isaac

She also remembered Isaac mentioning that lan’s mother had made an attempt on his life, and resorting to murder could only mean that there was no chance of peace between them!C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Naturally, it was useful information for Isaac, so Irene pretended to be fiddling with her phone as she texted him, while telling him, “Don’t do anything for now. I’ve managed to make friends with Robin Lynd, so I will go in for a look first”

Any move should be clandestine before they found Tommy, or the child would be in danger if lan was pushed too far

Saving Tommy was a priority.

On the other hand, Isaac’s expression turned gloomy when he received Irene’s text.

He already suspected lan had another income source aside from his family, and it had to be illegal.

While Stan came up with nothing from his ongoing investigation, Irene had already found out about the underground casino.

He was certainly displeased with Stan’s growing incompetence.

He texted back: [Be careful]

Naturally, he was also worried that Irene was going to the casino, and things would get dangerous if lan

saw her

Irene texted back (Got it]

With that, she put away her phone.

“What do you think I should say if I see him? Robin asked, suddenly feeling a little worried that she was being impulsive

lan told her that they were breaking up, after all. He would only hate her more if she got clingy…

Irene quickly goaded her. “You’re breaking up anyway, so why not make it a clean one instead of being wishy-washy? You have a right to know whether he no longer loves you or was just cheating on you. I mean, unless you don’t want to know the reason?”

If Robin backs off now, she would not be able to find the casino.

Thankfully, Robin thought that Irene was being reasonable.

lan might have dumped her, but it was not too much to ask for an answer, was it?

She had the right, did she not?

They soon arrived at Southport, and they alighted after Irene paid the driver.

There were mostly cargo ships around them, since it was a cargo port, with many containers kept at the docks.

Naturally, Irene could see that a casino could be hidden around a place like this.

“Is the casino inside a container?” she joked. “Or maybe one of the ships?”

Robin glanced at her and said, “It’s in a container on a ship.”

Irene was speechless, but there was no question that no one would find out that way.

“I’m not sure, but lan told me that he won’t be afraid of inspections this way,” Robin explained. “If anyone finds out, he just has to sail the ship into international waters, and no one would be able to do anything about it.”

Irene’s expression cooled slightly. “Yeah, the idea is perfect.”

Gambling was illegal, but lan could come up with such a gimmick to hide his operations.

It just goes to show how cunning he could be.
