The Runaway Groom Chapter 600
Ember's face turned pale right then.How could she have forgotten? Zachary had changed! He was no longer the same man from before!Naturally, she had to save her mother, and so, she held out her hand. "Let me sign it already!"Zachary's assistant passed her the divorce agreement, and Ember picked up a pen.To think that the marriage she had gone through so much for was now at its end. There was certainly no happiness to be had from coercion! Now, she felt both spite and regret! Closing her eyes for a moment, she signed the divorce agreement."We will go our separate ways now, Zachary Slate," she said, throwing the ballpoint pen carelessly on the desk.Now, she no longer felt love for the man—only hatred for ruining her family."Now give me the money you promised!""Why should I?" Zachary said, lounging on his couch.Ember frowned. "You told me that you would give me money if I signed the divorce agreement. Are you breaking your promise?""I did." Zachary did not deny it

James glared at Zachary. "Be serious.""I'm very serious," Zachary replied.James became quiet for a moment, before saying, "I suspect that Debbie the secretary was the one who orchestrated my accident. We have to tell Mr. Jefferson that as soon as possible, and you have to do this for me since I've not fully recovered.""Debbie?" Zachary had been too busy with his own issues that he had no idea what Isaac has been going through lately.Still, James's mention of Debbie made him remember what Ember said about Debbie before—could she have been on the money?"Do you have any proof?" Zachary asked.James shook his head—he would not be merely suspecting Debbie if he had proof. "Well, what do you want me to tell Isaac?""Be wary of Debbie," James replied with coolness in his eyes .If he found evidence, she would die by a thousand cuts!Zachary became serious too. "I'll go right now."Still, he had just reached the door when he turned around, having remembered something. "Ms. Goo
The Runaway Groom Chapter 602
Irene was so worried that she cared for Tommy without slacking off at all, or even allowing her eyes to close once.Everyone around her could see her working diligently but were unable to help. All they could do was to offer assistance wherever they could, even if it was just to relieve her a little.Late at night, Irene was still sitting beside Tommy's bed, yawning from heavy drowsiness.Needing to stay awake, she said, "Mom, could you make me a coffee?"It hurt Sheryl to watch, but since there was not much else she could do, she sighed inwardly and left to get that coffee. Still, Irene perked up a little after having her coffee and told Sheryl, "It's late, Mom. You should go to sleep.""Why don't you let me watch Tommy instead?" Sheryl asked. "I'm worried if I'm not watching him," Irene replied. Sheryl therefore had no choice but return to her room and sleep.Meanwhile, Tommy, who was fidgeting in his sleep, suddenly woke up.Though still muddled, he was blabbering, "Pap

Zachary was actually puzzled. "Isaac, that woman has been working for you so long, but you never noticed her ulterior motives?"Moreover, Isaac had always been wary toward others, which made it all the more curious that he never realized what Debbie was really like.Still, the fact was that he never paid her much attention—James himself had recommended her, and she had always been prudent with her work, while James had always been reliable as well."James helped her to her position, but that was how she repaid him? She's beyond saving!" Zachary exclaimed. Isaac remained impassive, his thoughts inscrutable.Seeing that he was not getting any response, Zachary simply stayed quiet. Soon, their car arrived at the unfinished building, stopping by a thicket.The man who had been shadowing Debbie knew the specific position where she was held and he led the way.Crumbling bricks and undergrowth was rife over the dusty floor that they passed through, heading up to the second floor.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 604
All Debbie wanted was to marry Isaac, and that was why she wanted to stay chaste, no matter what happened!However, Ember was not about to let her off easy.Her life and family was destroyed all because of her divorce with Zachary, who was so determined because he caught her sleeping with Winston! It was all Debbie's fault! "You're not getting away even if you pay me ten million," Ember growled as she grabbed Debbie by the chin. "Tell me, how should I destroy you? Ruin your not-so-pretty-face, and then let Winston have his way with you?"Debbie feigned composure despite her panic. "Lay a finger on me, and you won't get a cent."On the other hand, Winston simply wanted the money and not for things to escalate, so he reasoned with Ember, "We just want the money, don't we? She's being agreeable too, and that spares us a lot of trouble—"Ember cut him short before he could finish. "We kidnapped her and demanded a ransom. Do you really think she won't hold a grudge? That we can liv

Ember gasped in surprise. "Are they here to save her?" Winston was getting nervous—he could see at one glance that there were a lot of people below, whereas he and Ember were just two, not to mention that Ember was a woman. In fact, they would never win even if she was a man—not when they have them outnumbered ten to one!"What should we do?" Ember started to panic, but Winston was no better!Eventually, he asked, "Why don't we just bolt?"Ember was certainly reluctant. "We haven't gotten our money!""Which do you think is more important, the money or staying alive?" the man asked in return.Ember thought about it briefly and soon replied, "Staying alive."What good was money when she was not alive to spend it?"That's right—there will be opportunities as long as you stay alive," Winston said as he pulled her along, leaping out of the hole that was supposed to be a window and onto the scaffolding, where they climbed down and fled into the bushes."They must have noticed u
The Runaway Groom Chapter 606
Debbie tried to speak, but she could not manage anything aside from grunts and snorts while they took her away to the castle. It was the same one where Isaac had kept Irene's 'body' when he thought she was dead.They had made many preparations for Debbie there—killing her immediately was letting her off easy.Whatever happened, they needed to make her suffer before she dies.…Arriving at the castle, Isaac's henchman threw Debbie down on the floor and she lay prone like a dog!The body was still there along with the memorial, giving the entire place a creepy atmosphere and leaving Debbie horrified. She wanted to tell Isaac that he could not do anything to her as long as Tommy's life was still in her hands, but the words were not coming out.The feeling of being at someone else's mercy was certainly terrifying and she was left trembling.She was so scared that even the wounds on her face did not hurt now. She crawled to Isaac's left, tugging at the hem of his pants as she t

Debbie screamed!Soon, her face was bloody pulp and utterly disfigured, whereas bleeding chunks of her arm were bitten off!Even so, no one could hear her screams given the castle's isolated location. All it did was startle the birds in the woods nearby.Rick and Dick were doing all they could to earn their freedom.Whips, knives, lighters—anything that could bring pain, they used on Debbie.Her screams soon stopped and she was left on the floor, convulsing in her death throes and no longer able to make a sound."That's enough," Isaac called out just then. Rick and Dick stopped right then and hurried to his side. "Can we go now?"Isaac simply pointed at Rick. "You can."Dick snapped in dissatisfaction. "But I obviously did better! I should be the one you free!"Rick was already going to leave, but wheeled on his partner, glaring at him furiously. "Bullshit! I did better!"They were soon arguing, though it was what Isaac wanted.They were just thugs who could be bought with
