The Runaway Groom By Hauling Treasures Chapter 441


    Chapter 441


    Zachary was stunned. "You lost your job?"


    Lulu had already turned to leave, not remotely bothered to answer him.


    Zachary was not going to let up so soon, however, and caught her by the wrist.


    "Let go!" Lulu eximed, appearing utterly disgusted by his touch.


    It certainly cut Zachary to the quick-she hated him so much already?


    "Do you really think that our past was that stupid?”


    Her words were basically a refusal to acknowledge their past rtionship, and it was uneptable to


    him.


    Even if they had broken up, they used to be truly in love.


    How could she dismiss it like that?


    "What else would it be?" someone suddenly asked.


    It was Ricky, who had returned with Lulu''s drink, shooting Zachary a re as he gave it to her.


    "You are the one who cheated Lulu, and then doubted her even though she clearly wasn''t the one


    behind the banners, and you made her lose her job too. How despicable can you be? But it''s fine—I''ll


    take good care of her, and you don''t have to worry. So stay away from her, especially today. My


    patience has its limits, and I''ll beat you up if I have to!”


    Lulu quickly pulled Ricky away, not wanting anything to do with Zachary, let alone argue with him.


    As for Zachary, even if he did not believe that Lulu was the one behind the banners, it must be his


    mother who got her fired.


    Even he decided that he could not deny it-and was there any meaningful difference, whether it was him


    or his mother?


    All he could do was watch as Lulu left... just as a hand suddenly pped him heavily on the shoulder


    twice. "You''re married, so try to keep it in your pants. Be nice to your new bride instead of bothering


    Ms. Adams all the time."


    "I''m bothering her? Is that how you see it?" Zachary turned and shot a dirty look at the man beside him.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    James blinked. "Is that not the case?"


    "Of course not! I know we''ve broken up, but I''m not really bothering her. I mean, can''t we at least be


    friends? Can''t friends show concern for each other?"


    "Exactly. You''ve broken up with her, so how are you going to be friends?” James told him earnestly.


    "There''s no way it''s happening. Just lead your separate lives and be content about it.”


    Zachary was left fuming and storming off.


    Ember Lindt certainly knew how to curry Mrs. te''s favor. Though she was from a rich family and was


    just a newlywed bride, her work was absolutely immacte.


    As she brought Mrs. te a bowl of chicken soup to Mrs. te, she cooed, "I''m sorry that Zachary is


    always so busy, Pa, but I promise to take care of you in his stead.”


    Mrs. te''s grin could not have been broader. "Oh, you didn''t have to-you could''ve just left this to the


    cooks. You were your parents’ beloved child, and I shouldn''t make you work now that you''ve married


    into our family.”


    Ember lowered her head with a faint smile, as if embarrassed, and kept charming Mrs. te. "It''s no


    trouble. You''ve been taking good care of me too, Pa.”


    That was when Zachary returned home and saw them, and he immediately told Ember, “Go upstairs.”


    He was not watching his tone as he was already furious.


    "What''s wrong, Zachary?” Ember walked up to him and tried to calm him instead.


    "I need to talk to my mom. Go upstairs!" he repeated, even more stern now.


    Mrs. te got to her feet and told Ember calmly. "Ember, go upstairs for now."


    Ember had every intention to act the part of a tame, obedient wife and daughter-inw, and so had to


    go upstairs.


    However, she felt uneasy not knowing what Zachary would discuss with Mrs. te.


    As she headed upstairs, she hid near the stairway to eavesdrop, pretending to open and close the door


    to her room to trick those who were downstairs! Soon, she heard Zachary talking...
