The Runaway Groom Chapter 563
Peter gloated smugly. "Of course I do. I was the one who planned it all out!"Although the conspiracy to murder Lulu was his, it was Zachary's mother who pulled the trigger.The cops would never trace it back to him since he covered his tracks well, too. On the other hand, Zachary felt like he could crush the bottle in his hand as he listened, but he restrained his temper with every ounce of control he had."I see. What was the plan?" he asked, having done his best to hide the rage from his voice to stay as calm as possible."We've looked into it, but Lulu Adams has no connections at all… Her mother is dead, while her father remarried and doesn't care about her, so I told your mom that no one would ever notice if someone like her disappeared… and we did just that."Though Peter's gaze seemed to turn turbid, he was getting increasingly elated the more he spoke. "I told her that no one would ever find a body if we fed Lulu to the fishes, and your mom really listened! After I bankr

Ember could not get a read on Zachary at all right then.Did her father manage to persuade him? Did he have a change of heart? Ember got out of bed, walking up to him and wanting to wrap her arms around him… when he suddenly turned around and put his phone in his pocket after sending a text."Time for breakfast," he said, and strode out of the room.Ember quickly got changed, washed up, and headed downstairs to find that Zachary was still there.She joined him at the dining table, asking gingerly, "Are you going to be busy today?"They did not have anything in common, so she had to speak whatever came to mind."Yeah…" Zachary replied, looking up at her as he added pointedly, "I'm going to be busy.""But could you try to come home earlier?" Ember asked, not letting up so soon. "Yeah," Zachary replied. Bzzt—Zachary's phone, which he placed on the table, buzzed.A voice asked urgently, "What happened last night, Zachary?" "Were you sent a recording?" Zachary asked."I

Zachary's gaze darkened."Good," he murmured softly.…Inside the Lindts' residence, Shirley's jaw was dropping after seeing Zachary's attitude. "Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed?"Why else would he suddenly show such a dramatic change of heart?"Yeah, he's definitely different now," Ember replied. "I can't get a read on him.""When did you ever?" Shirley said, giving her hand a squeeze. "You'd have won him over long ago if you did."Ember was actually left pensive just then—maybe her mother was right, and she never knew him?But she was convinced that she did. Peter stepped out of his office just then and told them, "I'm going out."Ember ran up to him, wrapping her hands around his arm as she asked, "What did you talk to Zachary about last night, Daddy?"Peter looked at her for a while and sighed. "He's been apologizing, saying that he shouldn't have asked for a divorce, and I could tell that he was earnest about it. Stop arguing with him already—you're not goin

Tim had lost many things. Even if Peter was correct that he had an affair, it was just something that happened in the heat of the moment, and the woman ended up getting clingy. He certainly did not want a divorce and quickly resolved the matter, only for Peter to expose him, destroying his family."What do you want?" Peter asked again—he knew what he had done, and naturally did not want things to blow out of proportion. Then, before Tim spoke, he added, "I'll give you the project you wanted."Tim laughed as if what Peter said was hilarious to him."What? Can't you be content with that?" Peter scowled."Of course not. Are you really trying to buy my silence with trinkets?" Tim cut to the chase. "If you want my silence, it's going to be 150 million dollars—consider it compensation for my divorce.""Why don't you rob a bank instead?" Peter could throw a fit right then."Since you're in the mood to negotiate, I have no reason to force you," Tim said, rising to his feet. "I stil

"Ricky? What are you doing here?!" Irene was at first shocked to see Ricky, but soon snapped as she came to her senses. "Where have you been?!""Irene, please tell them to let go…" Ricky groaned—his arm felt like it would be ripped off soon.Irene quickly waved off the bodyguard. "I know him. Let him go!"The bodyguards did so and left, while Irene asked, "What happened to you? And why did you sell the mansion?""I thought you would help me find Lulu, but you went missing and Isaac left the country too," Ricky explained. "There's no one here to help me, and I don't have any clues where to look. It's like she's gone without a trace…""Anyway, I started drifting from bar to bar, when I spotted Isaac's secretary… Debbie, was it? She was talking to a man in a corner of the bar, acting all shady-like. I then followed the man… and guess what I saw?""What?" Irene urged. "Don't keep me in suspense.""He drove a dump truck and crashed it into James Cross's car."Irene's face fell, h

There, Irene saw Debbie and Erin Gooding.There was a flash in Debbie's eyes when she saw Irene, and Irene noticed it.Irene knew right then that Debbie was up to no good."What are you doing here?" Debbie demanded, no longer showing Irene any respect, let alone treating her as a superior.Irene flashed Debbie a look of disdain as she strode in. "Just checking on James on Isaac's behalf."Erin was watching her. "You know James too? Who are you to him?""A friend," Irene replied "Oh," Erin murmured. "He sure has a lot of lady friends."First, it was Debbie, and now it was another woman—even if Irene kept herself wrapped under so many layers that only her eyes were showing, Erin could still tell that she was beautiful.Irene then saw that Erin was massaging James. Despite still being unconscious, his complexion was good, indicating that he had been taken care of very well. Watching Erin then, she said, "I know you and your father. Since you were raised in Minerva and just c

Irene glared coolly at Debbie, watching as she left.Her cool composure faded, replaced by aloofness.Debbie was getting more daring by the day.She must come up with something soon, or James would get killed if he was kept here."Debbie said that she is James's best friend," Erin asked just then. "But you don't seem to like her…?"Not liking Debbie was putting it lightly."We just can't see eye to eye," Irene replied, refraining from discussing the past just then. She must not let Debbie find out that she already knew that Debbie staged James's accident, or Debbie would resort to drastic measures."Have you been here every day?" she asked Erin."Yes," Erin replied.Even so, Irene was convinced that James would not be safe here—they had to get him out. Irene then watched as Irene massaged James's body, and could not help commenting, "You're very good at this.""I've been learning from his physiotherapist for a while," Erin replied.The physiotherapist Zachary hired was c

Irene raised a hand, gesturing at Ricky to stop talking.She needed to calm down.Ricky helped her to a chair, finally realizing that something was wrong. "Did something happen to the baby?"Irene's eyelashes were already damp without her knowing it and she rasped, "Don't tell my mom."Ricky nodded somberly. "Got it… But what happened?""We think that our baby has been abducted."At least, Irene hoped so—because that meant that her child was still alive.And as long as the child was alive, they would find the child eventually. They would see the child again.As Ricky stayed silent for a long while, Irene was able to calm down."Is there anything I can do?" Ricky asked.Irene held his gaze. "Actually, yes.""Alright, shoot." Ricky's expression turned serious—no longer the half-baked kid from before."Tell me about the driver Debbie hired. Where is he now?""Dead.""What?!" Irene exclaimed, and soon realized something. "Did Debbie do that too?""I'm not sure. After the a
