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?
