The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

Ricky snorted. "We were. What's that to you?"

"Shut up," Irene snapped and promptly tugged at his sleeve-he was going to make Mrs. Slate misunderstand, especially when she clearly did not like Lulu.

His phrasing would just fuel Mrs. Slate's notion that Lulu had loose morals and hurt Lulu in turn.

Ricky, however, was not letting up. "I'm just telling the truth! What is there to hide?"

Mrs. Slate scoffed at Lulu then. "I knew it-what an unseemly woman you are. Well, this suits me just fine. Now that Zachary is married, there's nothing between you two, so don't bother him ever again. In turn, I won't press charges regarding the banners."

"Hey, are you even listening? I told you-it wasn't Lulu. She's been with me all this while, and I can testify for her!" Ricky snapped, indignant at how prejudiced was Mrs. Slate acting.

"You? Testify? You've been defending her all this while. The best you can manage is perjury," Mrs. Slate laughed coldly, before adding in disdain," Truly... birds of the same feather flock together. Scum will always end up with scum."

"What was that?!" Ricky's temper flared, and he would already be hitting her if Irene was not holding him back.

At the same time, Lulu finally had enough.

She could take any insult from Mrs. Slate, but she was not about to hold back if she insulted her friend!

"I'm the one you're after. Scorn me all you want, but don't you insult my friends."

"What, did I get it wrong? Would you have spent the night in a bar with a man if you have any semblance of morals? Let me get this straight: stay away from Zachary. This is your last warning, and if you don't comply-”

"I'll stay away from him, you don't have to keep reminding me. But about the banners..."

She was going to say it was not her, but that was when she noticed

Zachary and Ember nearby, and she quickly said, "It was me."

"Hmph. I knew it!" Mrs. Slate snorted, raising her brow. "You've made the Lindts very upset while embarrassing my family. I'll make you pay."

With that, she wound up the window and told her chauffeur to drive away.

Beside Lulu, Irene frowned.
