The Runaway Groom

Chapter 417

Irene turned around to find Zachary standing there and she quickly explained, “It’s just a hunch.”

She only wanted to tell Isaac what she thought, and did not expect Zachary to be listening!

Zachary had actually hurried to them to see them off and had inadvertently overheard Irene.

He did not believe that it was Lulu, and was quickly convinced that Spencer was responsible.

Ricky was young and impulsive–it certainly looked like something he would do.

“It’s your wedding. What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be busy?” Irene asked, changing the subject.

“I was going to see you off,” Zachary said, hesitating for a moment before continuing, “Also, please pass a message to Lulu.”

“What is it?” Irene asked.

“Tell her…” Zachary’s voice trailed off, and then said, “Forget it.”

It was pointless to say anything now–there was no question that he was the one who let her down.

Jimmy the chauffeur was the one who brought Irene to Central Tower, so she sent him home while she got into Isaac’s car.

“Irene,” Zachary said as he stood before Isaac’s car. “I won’t press the issue against Ricky, but I won’t be so kind the next time. He can throw insults at me all he likes but Ember is innocent–she shouldn’t suffer
