The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536

Ember had a look of utter contempt. "You keep insisting that you are close with Mr. Cross, but you're in such a hurry to leave him already? You hardly look like you're mourning, too-are you really a friend to Mr. Cross as you kept claiming?"

Debbie narrowed her eyes at Ember for seconds, but ultimately kept quiet and strode off, bearing with her snide remarks.

After all, she knew that arguing or explaining would never work with Ember -the best option was to silence her permanently!

On the other hand, Ember appeared disgruntled, but Zachary put a hand on her arm before she could, and even spoke on Debbie’s behalf. "Ember, everyone including Debbie is hurting after what happened to James. She can come off as cold, but that comes with working with Isaac-it's not as if she doesn’t care, but she's just that good at hiding her feelings."

Ember appeared a little jealous that Zachary knew Debbie so well. "You seem to know everything about her... But I still think that she's up to no good."

Debbie was within earshot and her eyes darkened.

Screw that woman!

Then, remembering the mysterious person who texted her, she whipped out her phone to text them.

[Do you have a way to eliminate Ember Lindt?]

Two minutes later, she received a document file and Debbie frowned as she tapped on it.

It turned out to be a detailed dossier of everything about Ember, even her family.

Debbie studied it and texted the mysterious person soon after, asking tentatively: [Do you have a grudge against her?]

Why would they investigate Ember so thoroughly otherwise?

Debbie wondered then if the person was trying to eliminate Ember while using herself-but who could they be?

An enemy of Ember's?

[Ember cares most about Zachary Slate. You can start with him.]

The mysterious person appeared uninterested in the question.

Debbie was left staring at the screen for a while-the mysterious person was clearly being evasive.

Still, she soon came up with an idea and sent a reply.

[Thanks for the tip.]

There was no reply, so Debbie pocketed her phone and strode off.

Over at Minerva, Irene was being interrogated repeatedly.

"Who did you give the research data to?"

The intimidating man who asked the question was leveling a sharp blue gaze at her, and it appeared that he would not give up as long as she did not talk.

After all this was serious-it concerned the rivalry between nations, and if she admitted to it, Zidonia's international reputation would be tarnished further and she would be charged as a spy.
