The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590

While Shirley hesitated, Ember kept persuading her. "Mom, we don't even know if Dad would be abused while he's being arrested. We need to get him out soon-you're the only one who can make the decision and sign the papers."

Shirley was soon convinced-bailing out her husband was the priority anyway.

Turning toward Zachary, she asked, "So? What am I supposed to do?"

A dark look appeared over Zachary's face just then, but he kept solemn as he said, "There's some papers you need to sign.’

"Okay," Shirley said, agreeing to it right away without thinking.

Zachary took out the papers he prepared beforehand and handed it to Ember. "There's no helping it. Some of the company's businesses must be sacrificed to save your father."

Ember took his words at face value and did not even check the papers before passing it to her mother. "You have to sign it while Dad's away, Mom."

Shirley's fingers clenched, but she braced herself and signed the papers, doing it so quickly that she did not read the contents.

The first reason she did it was because she was convinced that Zachary would not lie to her, and these papers would not have anything sinister behind that.

Secondly, she would rather that this would be over soon. Even if it hurt to give off the company's businesses to someone else, she had to do it to save her husband.

With the papers signed, Zachary took them and put them in his briefcase." I'll go to Tim right now."

"We will wait for you," Ember told him.

Zachary merely held her gaze for a while, but said nothing as he turned to leave.

Neither Ember nor Shirley slept well as they waited.

However, while they were convinced that it was all over after Shirley signed those papers, it did not-instead, there was now a formal criminal case against them.

To their bewilderment, they were notified that the police seemed to have gathered sufficient evidence to investigate the factory fire.

Ember quickly went to Zachary's office to ask what happened, but he was not there.

Forced to return home, she just reached the front gates when she heard her mother yelling.
