Chapter 527

Even if Zachary did not like the idea, both Isaac and James were toobusy to help.

He could only count on himself to replace Lulu-dead or alive!

On the other hand, Ember was at once delighted and doubtful becauseZachary had never been this kind to her.

As if afraid that she was dreaming, she pinched herself in the arm.

It hurt-she felt actual pain.

She was not dreaming! Zachary was actually being nice to her!Holding his gaze, she said, “Thank you for believing me, Zachary. Ipromise

I don't know anything about Lulu, and I didn’t put up those banners...""That's enough-you don't have to say anything. I'd just let myfrustrations get the better of me, so don't take it to heart," Zachary toldher, gesturing for her to get into his car. "You can tell your chauffeur todrive home first."

"Okay!" Ember nodded enthusiastically, sneaking glances at Zacharyas she did.

She was certainly obsessed with his good looks, so much so that shewas crazy about him!

Zachary could sense her gaze, and almost asked about Lulu again outof impulse.

However, he was rational enough to restrain himself-he knew that nowwas not the time for that.

Asking it now would just make Ember wary, and without anyone thereto help, he must endure and wait.

On the other hand, Ember was already getting ahead of herself.

She started to sneak a hand to Zachary's side.

He was not happy about it, but he only said, "I'm driving."

However, the fact that he was not shaking her off already left Emberbeside herself with joy.

Aside from the time they slept together because Mrs. Slate druggedthem, they did not share much intimacy even though they weremarried.

But now, Zachary was not pushing her away.

It was obvious that he was slowly accepting her!

She thought then that killing Lulu was the smart choice-he would not beso accepting of her otherwise.

"Thanks for believing me, Zachary," she said, and leaned against hisarm.

Zachary kept his eyes on the road as he drove without reacting at all.After James left, he headed to Isaac's home and arranged a protectiondetail for Tommy and Sheryl.

He also informed Sheryl that Isaac and Irene had both gone abroadsince there was something important to attend to at the Remyheadquarters.

Sheryl was used to Isaac leaving on short notice and did not doubt it,but was actually puzzled by Irene's departure.

She just came back-she would be eager to spend more time withTommy.

Why did she have to leave as well?

"Mr. Jefferson insisted that she went with him," James explained, andSheryl showed a look of understanding right then.

They had been apart for so long they would yearn for each other morethan newlyweds, and they certainly would want to spend more timetogether.

Tell them they have nothing to worry about,” she told James. "I'll takegood care of Tommy."

James heaved a sigh of relief at her words-there was one good thing to report to Isaac now,at least.

He then headed to Twinrise.

Stan Hill was holding the fort at the Remy headquarters, but James needed Debbie thesecretary's help for something here.

She was not at her desk when he arrived, however, and he had to ask around to replace out thatshe was at the conference room.

it left James perplexed-what was she doing there when there was no meeting?

He headed over and pushed open the thick, wooden doors and saw her just then...
