Chapter 599
Ember grabbed him by the hand, exclaiming, "You're coming with me. We're settling this with Zachary once and for all."
Even now, she was still convinced that Zachary had framed her.
The man-Winston Dickens-glanced at her briefly, but shook her off in the next instant, knocking her off balance and landing raggedly on her knees.
As she glared at him furiously, Winston recognized her in turn.
"Oh, it's you."
Winston dropped to a crouch before her and lifted her chin. "What, was that night so unforgettable that you want to go again?"
Ember restrained her disgust even as she denied it. "Dream on! All I want to know is who paid you to frame me!"
Winston looked up then, and inadvertently spotted Debbie stepping out of a boutique, and gestured with his chin for Ember to look. "There she is."
Ember slowly turned to find Debbie being mobbed and fawned over, while Winston stroked his chin interestedly beside her. "Seems like she's doing well for herself."
As for Ember, her eyes widened while her face contorted with rage-she had never expected Debbie to be the one who framed her!
It was her?!
Her hand slowly clenched into fist on the floor, even as Winston appeared annoyed. "Rumor has it that she's marrying Isaac Jefferson-I didn't think that she was that well connected. I mean, that's a man with money and power, and I would've asked her for money if I had known."
Quickly noticing the greed in his eyes, Ember asked, "Why don't we work together?"
Winston did not seem to understand. "To do what?"
"Kidnap her and demand a ransom," she explained, even as she tried to persuade him. "You were saying that she's marrying Isaac, right? That means she's rich, so why don't we work together here?"
Winston stared at Ember then, as if to read if she was sincere.
