The Runaway Groom

Chapter 517

James's text read: [I know you were the one who put up those slanderous banners at your own wedding venue.

He was obviously doubtful.

James, however, did not explain anything and simply waited.

Over at the Slate's residence, Ember had just finished her bath and was applying some expensive makeup.

She was feeling energetic thanks to her buoyant mood, after finally succeeding in winning Zachary's sympathy and eliminating the eyesore named Lulu Adams.

Now, she just needed to wait for Zachary to completely forget about Lulu for a complete victory in this battle, with Zachary being her spoils.

Even as she worked hard to keep herself together, she decided that they would text her again if they wanted money.

Texting back now would only indicate her guilt.
