The Runaway Groom

Chapter 442

Zachary demanded, "You're the one who got Lulu fired, aren't you?"

Ember could clearly hear his voice from upstairs!

Mrs. Slate scoffed. “You call that a job? And yes, I framed her for a mistake and got her fired. She was the one who humiliated us with those banners at your wedding, and her behavior will only escalate if I don't straighten her out."

Ember was naturally smug when she heard that-Mrs. Slate now hated Lulu to the bone, did she not?

"Do you have any evidence it was her?" Zachary snapped.

“Evidence? She admitted it herself!’ Mrs. Slate shot back, furious that Zachary was still thinking about Lulu. “You're married, Zahcary-you should be caring about Ember. Her family background matches ours, and she is the Lindts’ only daughter. It's not just an individual marriage, but a marriage between families! Don't you understand how lucky you are?"

Zachary had always known that his mother loved money and influence, and his father’s philandering ways left her suffering considerably.

That was why he gave in to her demands to break up with Lulu.

And yet, she was not stopping...
