The Runaway Groom

Chapter 720

Irene quickly pushed the check back to Lulu, but Lulu caught her wrist.

"It's not for you.It's for Ricky."

It only left Irene even more confused.

"Why?"

"I owe him that much, and this won't even make up for what he lost," Lulu said.

You must have heard by now— Spencer Holdings went bankrupt because of me."

It was all her savings and the money she got from selling her house in Sunny City.

She had asked an ex-colleague to help her sell the house.

It was not supposed to be done so quickly, but her ex-colleague just happened to be looking to buy a house and bought it off her hands directly after checking it out.

The ex-colleague hence transferred the money first, and would wait until Lulu returned to finish the paperwork.

"It wasn't you.I know what happened, and it's the Slates and the Lindts—"

"Irene," Lulu said, cutting her short.

"I need a clear conscience.You and I know that they wouldn't have done it to Ricky or Spencer Holdings if he and I weren't close.Don't turn me down again—just give this to him."

Irene knew Lulu's stubbornness, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Alright.Just come to me if you ever need money."
