Chapter 707
Zachary clasped a hand over Lulu's mouth, ignoring her flailing arms as he shoved her into his car and snapped at the chauffeur, "Drive!"
The chauffeur quickly did so, while Lulu bit down on his palm in fury.
Zachary frowned in pain, but was not letting go at all.
He kept her firmly restrained and cried determinedly, "I'm not letting you go -ever!’’
Lulu glared at him. "I hate you and I'll never love you. You won't get anything even if you keep me confined, so get yourself another woman instead of wasting your time with me!"
"What are you talking about?" he growled angrily. "You’re the only one I have."
"Really?" Lulu was obviously skeptical, finding all his obsession nothing more than an act as he coolly asked, "Ricky told me that you were married and had other women before, or is that a lie?"
Zachary had no comeback against that other than trying to explain, "My mother forced me. I was always loyal to you, and even if I did cheat on you, I didn't mean it!"
"Hah!" Lulu snorted in disdain. "You speak as if you have rhyme and reason to cheat, I almost have to give you a thumbs up! According to your logic, I'm allowed to hurt you as badly and then say I didn't mean it, aren't I? Or does the damage you've done not count?"
Zachary turned silent right then, because he knew that Lulu would not trust him after she became certain that he was rotten.
Silence was better than wasting his breath.
Soon, they reached home, and he alighted, dragging Lulu with him.
Mrs. Slate just happened to be leaving then and she wheeled herself toward them when she saw them, watching Lulu as she said, "I've made mistakes in the past. Please don't blame Zachary and do get along with him."
Lulu did not even look in her direction. "The person who tried to kill me should pay for it with their life. I'll forgive him when that happens."
Mrs. Slate turned pale-she played nice only for Lulu to demand her death and with considerable determination at that.
