    Chapter 524


    Ember could kick herself right then. Why did she forget to delete the text?


    It was now fuel for Zachary to suspect her!


    ‘They were trying to ckmail me, I was just ying along so that we can arrest them-"


    "And they had to ckmail you?” Zachary''s grip over her wrist became even more forceful. "You knew


    you did something wrong. That''s why they have leverage against you and could ckmail you-"


    "Nol" Ember kept arguing. "I didn’t do anything wrong! I really wanted to arrest them, not because I was


    guilty and would give them money-"


    Zachary frowned. “Stop trying to weasel your way out of this!”


    "I''m not!" Ember had to keep denying, or Zachary would hate her and they would be unable to hide


    what happened to Lulu.


    "I swear, I never did anything wrong, and I was really trying to get my ckmailer arrested," she


    persisted.


    Zachary actually hesitated at that.


    "We''re already married, Ember. I don''t want you to hurt Lulu, so tell me already-do you know where she


    is?”


    Ember held his gaze. "That''s right, we''re married. Why would I want to hurt her?"


    Zachary was stumped.


    “Bute"


    "If you won''t believe me, then what must I do for you to believe me? I''ll do anything.”


    Ember had already caught on that Zachary might have been the one who‘ ckmailed’ her somehow.


    However, while he had reason enough to suspect her, he did not have solid evidence, or he would be


    throwing it in her face instead of questioning her like this.


    She had a chance to turn things around, and therefore just needed to stay calm to get through this.


    Leveling a miserable look at Zachary, she continued, ‘Someone must be trying to frame me. You need


    evidence for this kind of thing..."


    Zachary was silent.


    "You responded to the text..."


    "Yes, I even promised money, but what does that mean? I said I was just trying to get them arrested, or


    there might be more people ckmailing me for no reason..."


    "For no reason?” Zachary gave her a sharp look, "I have no evidence, but I''m not stupid-you promised


    money because you were guilty, and you know yourself if you did it. If you want me to forgive you, tell


    me where Lulu is, and I just might forgive you."


    Zachary, not being aplete idiot, foiled Ember''s attempts to lie her way out. However, she knew that


    she must never admit that she knew where Lulu was-it would be equal to admitting she was behind the


    banners.


    So, she put up a wounded look. "You don''t believe me?”


    "I will if you tell me where Lulu is." Zachary''s grip is getting more forceful by the moment. "Is she safe?


    Is she alright?!"


    "I really don''t know..." Ember kept refusing.


    "What is all this noise?!" Mrs. te snapped just then.


    She hade upstairs after hearing themotion, looking the part of a rich housewife with her


    pearls and tailored dress.


    Ember had worked diligently to have Mrs. te wrapped around her little finger, and her arrival could


    not have been more timely for Ember as she quickly leapt behind her.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "You have to help me. Mrs. te! Zachary is ming me for the banner on our wedding and Lulu''s


    disappearance, but I don''t know anything!"


    In reality, Mrs. te was actually working with Ember''s parents to make Lulu ‘disappear’.


    Since Ember pretended that she knew nothing, Mrs. te presumed that too.


    And in her eyes, Zachary questioning Ember was an injustice.
