The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572

Ricky was glaring furiously at Zachary, his eyes opened so wide they were bulging as if they would pop out.

In a split second, he rushed forward, grabbed Zachary by the collar, and launched a lightning quick jab on his face!

Pow!

There was a dull thud and Zachary tasted blood on his lips.

Ricky did not loosen his grip, however, and shoved Zachary to the floor as he kept clobbering him.

Stunned for a moment, Irene quickly came to her senses and ran up to pull him away. "Calm down!"

'How could I?!' Ricky bellowed in rage. "He's a married man, but he had to keep bugging Lulu! That’s why she was killed. It's him. It's all because of him..."

He had lost all rationality right then. All he wanted to do was to murder Zachary!

'Get off me!" he cried and shook Irene off.

As she lost her balance and fell on the couch, she grimaced in pain as she felt a pull on the scar over her belly.

Ricky did not notice her discomfort, however, and was still punching Zachary relentlessly.

Zachary did not resist-he actually thought that Ricky was right.

After all, if he had stayed away from Lulu after getting married, Ember would not have set her sights on Lulu, and this tragedy could have been avoided.

He admitted as much, too. "You're right. I did kill her."

'You think that look of regret would get you off the hook! Absolutely not!" Ricky cried even as he throttled Zachary. "If you want penance, I'll send you to her right now. Kneel and beg her for forgiveness!"

Irene finally got to her feet despite much difficulty just then, and snapped,' That's enough, Ricky! Killing him won't change a thing! What you should be doing is to find the real culprit!"

Ricky froze as Irene's words brought him to his senses.

'The real culprit? As in the people who killed Lulu?"

’Yes." Irene walked up to him, ignoring the pain in her belly as she placed a gentle hand over Ricky's back. "No matter what Zachary did, he wasn't the one who killed Lulu. It's those murderers."

Zachary stared at them for a while before he said, "You're looking at him.'

After all, his mother had ordered Lulu's death. How was it different from him doing it himself?

'Don't think I wouldn't touch you!" Ricky snapped, convinced that Zachary was just provoking him.

"I know you would, but give me time," Zachary said calmly. "There's something I must do, and you can do anything you want to me once I'm done."

Irene pulled Ricky away just then. "Yeah. We are all in grief, but that is all the more reason we must work together to destroy Lulu's murderers."

Ricky stared at Irene for a moment.

He gradually calmed down, giving Zachary one last glare before releasing him.

Irene helped Zachary up. "Are you alright?"

Zachary wobbled a little as he got to his feet. "I'm fine.'

"I’ll get the first aid kit. Your face..."

Zachary caught her wrist. "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Irene held his gaze for a moment before sitting down.
