The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525

Mrs. Slate shielded Ember right then as she glared at her own son. "Have you gone crazy, Zachary? Are you still unable to see Lulu's true colors now? ■

Before Zachary could say anything, she continued, "Ember's child-no, your child and my grandchild-was lost because of that woman, or is that not enough for you? Why are you still looking for her now?!"

"She went missing. I'm worried-"

"You should be worried about Ember's health!" Mrs. Slate snapped in disappointment. "How could you ignore your own wife over another woman? Do you even know what you're doing to Ember?!"

Zachary's hands clenched into fists at his sides.

He had no evidence to prove that Ember knew where Lulu was and so, he had no grounds to retort against his mother.

However, James was right-he could only ask Isaac for help now.

"She knows very well what she did. You all disappoint me."

With that, he strode past them and out of the room.

Ember finally came to her senses and cried, "Where are you going, Zachary? ■

She quickly gave chase, but Zachary ignored her.

He was so disappointed in her that he had no trust to speak of.

He felt like his world had fallen apart in no time at all —the people he trusted were all heinous liars.

How horribly ironic!

"Mrs. Slate, you have to talk some sense into him," Ember cried anxiously.

"Just leave him be-he must have heard some stupid rumors out there and came back to throw a fit. Don't mind him now, just focus on recovering. You should get pregnant again soon to shackle him, so that he won't keep obsessing over some dead woman."

Ember had already learned of Lulu's death from her own parents, but Mrs. Slate did not know that she knew.

Naturally, she feigned surprise. "W-What? Lulu is dead? What happened?"

"Don’t ask-your parents and I had to do something after she kept getting between you and Isaac. I hope you can make Zachary fall for you soon, or he might otherwise make an issue out of that woman again."

"I'll do my best," Ember said, keeping her eyes lowered.

She was the one who goaded her own parents, who in turn convinced Mrs. Slate to eliminate Lulu.

With her being their only daughter, her parents naturally wanted the best for her.

Lulu's existence was just too much of an eyesore to her, but because Lulu had not much in the way of connections, wiping her out was easy.

Ember quickly acted all miserable in front of Mrs. Slate. "I never had any problems in life before, but my child is lost because of Lulu... It hurts so much, but Zachary actually blamed me for the banners and for hurting Lulu
