Chapter 693

Lulu flung her wrist, shaking Zachary's hand off, only for Zachary tocatch her again, even going further as to wrap his hand firmly aroundher waist.

'I know you hate me, Lulu, and I know I was wrong-but our love wastrue. Why do you refuse to give me a chance?"

“Why should I, after you hurt me?" Lulu asked in return.

Zachary did not deny it. "Nobody's perfect. Is there anyone who doesno wrong? I admit I was at fault, and I'm willing to change. Isn't thatenough?’

Lulu pursed her lips. "What did I ever see in you?"

She was puzzled-was she an idiot in the past to fall for him?

Zachary remained obstinate. "I'm not letting you go whatever you say.”Lulu was incensed. "You're unreasonable!”

"Say whatever you want!"

Zachary did not care!

That was when Mrs. Slate returned from the hospital and she frownedwhen she saw the commotion in the living room. "What are you doing?"An idea immediately came to Lulu's mind when she saw Mrs. Slate andshe turned toward Isaac. "You want me to stay? Fine! I want the onewho tried to kill me punished! A life for a life!"

Zachary froze, while Mrs. Slate's face turned pale.

Lulu's words could not have been clearer, and she continued, "Just lookat you-you want me to stay, but you can't even avenge me? Whatwould I want a man who can't protect me for? Some tabletop trinket fordecoration?"

Lulu deliberately said all that just to make Zachary let go, because sheknew that Mrs. Slate tried to have her killed.

Naturally he was left speechless-he could not send his own mother toprison, could he?

Lulu simply pushed him away and gave him a look of disdain beforestriding outside.

Zachary was left frozen in place, stuck between a rock and a hardplace.

One was his mother, while the other was the woman he loved-howcould he even decide?

At that very moment, Mrs. Slate finally understood the gravity of hermistake.

She was the reason her son was being pushed around.

"How about I apologize to her?” she asked.

Zachary smiled despite himself. "You tried to kill her. Do you think anapology will make up for that?"

“Then, what? Do you want me to pay for it with my life."

"Just try to make up for it as much as you can.”

"1 know," Mrs. Slate replied, while Zachary took a deep breath andheaded outside.

He must get Lulu back.

Irene's dark, curled eyelashes twitched as she regainedconsciousness.

There was a single white light on the ceiling, with rings of halationspiraling downward.

Her gaze was placid like a bottomless lake!

The room was so silent she could hear herself breathing, and eachbreath vaguely hurt.

She slowly got up, buttoning her blouse and getting out of bed to leavethe hospital.

Returning to her car, she told the chauffeur to take her home.

Once they arrived, she quickly headed upstairs and got into thebathroom, where she stayed for a long time.

In the CEO's office at Twinrise Enterprise, James was standing in frontof Isaac's desk and reporting, “We hacked all of Harvey's digitaldevices and deleted all the security footage he saved, but if he mighthave saved it in a USB drive. As for Robin Lynd's suicide, I've enforceda press gag and spoken to the police. The investigation would concludeit as an ordinary suicide.”

Isaac, however, was dissatisfied.

"Search his home. Find any copies at all costs."

“Yes, sir,” James nodded, and Isaac waved him away, gesturing for himto get to work.

After James left, Isaac checked the time and got up to get his suit.However, an unread message popped up on his screen just as he wasabout to leave and he clicked into it.

It was a video clip, and it played as soon as he clicked on it!
