Chapter 415

A gentle push, and the door was open… But there was nothing inside.

Irene frowned. “Could this be a prank?”

Isaac said nothing, but he had a hunch–it was probably not a prank, but since Irene did not fall for their trap, the

people behind cleaned things up thoroughly and left no trace behind.

“Let’s go back,” she said.

It was not their wedding, and running off like this was impolite.

“Yeah,” Isaac agreed.

While they stood waiting for the elevator, Irene leaned against him, but just as she was going to hold his hand, the

elevator arrived with a jingle.

As the doors opened, Irene quietly pulled away, but Isaac took her hand, catching her by surprise.

In the instant their skin touched, her heart began to pound.

She had no idea why–especially after they had shared their bed for a while now.

Nonetheless, she followed Isaac into the elevator, with the doors soon closing behind him. As she pressed the

button to the first floor, the doors closed, confining them within.

Irene looked up at his face and neck, which combined to form an alluring image.

He was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

Ought she not be rejoicing that he was hers?

She smiled faintly at the thought, and inadvertently glanced at the elevator doors in front of her.

She was left dumbstruck right then–the doors were made of stainless steel, and clearly reflected their faces.

Isaac clearly saw her ogling him, did he not?

Oh, this was so embarrassing!

She hung her head, wanting a place to hide just then..

Isaac watched as she kept her head buried like an ostrich and smiled so faintly one would never notice if they were

not looking for it.

Soon, they returned to the wedding hall, and Zachary came to them with Ember.

Ember had a babyish face, and had changed into a red gown encrusted in various gems, which glittered under the

chandeliers overhead. She also had a corset that accentuated her figure, but she did not appear encumbered

despite the weight of the gown, as she was actually gliding gracefully as she moved.

The mischievous–even lively–outlook of the gown certainly matched her looks.

Even if Ember’s beauty was not eye–catching, the dress and the way she wore it did, and she certainly drew stares

as she moved along, holding Zachary’s arm as she did.

After drinking a few toasts with their elders, Zachary brought Ember along and made a beeline for Isaac.

He told Ember that he would introduce her to Irene, and among his friends, Isaac ranked at the top–he had every

reason to go to him first.

“You’re both my best friends. You have to drink to congratulate me,” Zachary said as he poured a drink for Isaac,

while Ember handed the glasses to him.

“This is my brother from another mother, Isaac Jefferson–he expressly returned from abroad to attend our

wedding.”

“Thank you for making time even though you’re so busy.” Ember naturally showed no signs of stage fright -she was

from a rich family herself,

Isaac respectfully drank to their toast, while Zachary poured another glass for Irene. “She’s my junior and a good

friend.”

“We’ve met.” Ember smiled enthusiastically. “Thanks for attending my wedding. I hope we can be best friends.”

Irene smiled faintly but primly. “Any friend of Zachary’s is a friend of mine.”

As for best friends, she would not agree to it so easily–in fact, she was keen to distance herself from Ember

because of Lulu, not to mention that she did not know Ember that well yet.

If anything, she was just trying to be respectful to Zachary.

Suddenly, a man barged in and cried, “Mr. Slate!”

Zachary frowned and turned towards him. “What’s the matter? Why the commotion?”

“Outside… You have to take a look at this!”

Zachary put down the wine bottle and told Irene and Isaac, “I think I should go check it out.”

“Yeah,” Irene replied.

Ember followed Zachary. “I’m coming too.”

They all arrived outside when they all saw it.
