The Runaway Groom By Hauling Treasures Chapter 442


    Chapter 442


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


    Ember could clearly hear his voice from upstairs!


    Mrs. te 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 escte if I


    don''t straighten her out."


    Ember was naturally smug when she heard that-Mrs. te 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. te 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 phndering


    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...


    "I''ve alreadypromised on Lulu and even resigned as a doctor to marry Ember. Don''t harass Lulu


    ever again after I did everything you told me to," Zachary told her just then


    "If she stays away, I would have no reason to,” Mrs. te said, since she knew better than to push her


    own son too far.


    Meanwhile, Ember was left clenching on the scaffolding as she stood upstairs.


    Zachary still cared so much about Lulu?


    What did she have to do for Zachary to only think of her? Lulu’s disappearance, perhaps?


    Meanwhile, Zachary appeared despondent. "I hope you keep your word, Mom, or you''re going to make


    me appear less than a man to others.”


    "What, did Lulue to you? Did she say that you''re not a man?" Mrs. te raised a brow, at once


    wary and annoyed.


    Zachary gave her a look of helplessness and misery. "Don''t worry, she won''te to me ever again-


    she''s disgusted with me."


    "Who does she think she is?!" Mrs. te snapped, eternally convinced that it was Lulu who did not


    deserve her son. "She''s a measly jinx who works with dead people, and she''s disgusted with you? The


    nerve!”


    "Everyone''s job has a purpose, Mom. Withoutw enforcement to keep the peace, your money would


    have been taken away, whether by kidnapping or even ckmailing. You''re only leading a stable,


    peaceful life because of those who do their jobs withoutint."


    Mrs. te was left fuming. "What are you saying? That I would be poor if not for the likes of her?!"


    Zachary, however, stayed quiet and turned to leave, because he did not want to argue.


    "Stop," Mrs. te huffed. "Go upstairs and check on Ember. You''re already here anyway."


    Zachary turned stiffly around and held his mother''s gaze like a puppet devoid of emotion. "Aren''t you


    going to drug me again? So that I''ll sleep with her?"


    Mrs. te glowered. "Watch your mouth!"


    Zachary simply snorted in disdain and headed upstairs, although there was no telling whom he actually


    felt disdain for.


    As he entered the bedroom, Ember, who was sitting on the bed, quickly got up when she saw him,


    shing that innocent smile of hers.


    “Is something wrong, Zachary? You don''t look well.”


    Zachary shook his head. "I''m fine."


    "Then why the long face?" Ember pointed out, and went up to pull him along to the bed. “Here, sit. Let


    me give you a massage.”


    Zachary did so, and she knelt behind him to massage his shoulders. "I should learn this properly next


    time, so that I can relieve you if you get tired, n


    "You don''t have to," Zachary said.

    "I should, because we are married," she said shyly.


    "Sorry for what happened before..." Zachary began.


    However, Ember quickly cut him short and wrapped her arms around his neck. “It''s not your fault,


    Zachary. I wanted it anyway- I''ve always loved you. She had always been interested in Zachary, or she


    would not have yed along with Mrs. te''s machinations.


    At the same time, Zachary closed his eyes.


    He did not love Ember, but he could not bear to hurt an innocent girl either.


    Stephen received a call from Irene to tidy up everything she left back in her desk drawer back at


    Melville Hospital.


    She had already gone abroad, but she left so urgently she only remembered after the fact that she left


    a mess back home.


    It was no big deal, however, and Stephen quickly agreed to it.


    However, just as he headed to her office, he found all the other doctors standing outside in the


    walkway.


    Frowning, he asked, "What''s everyone doing out here?"


    One of them pointed inside, and Stephen looked into the office in turn...
