Chapter 376

Zachary stopped in his tracks but did not turn around. “Don’t ask. Everything she said is right-I've done her dirty.”

He was very clear about it, affording Irene no space to argue.

“Take care of yourself, Zachary.”

Zachary heaved a deep sigh then, and left, while Irene returned to work.

Over at Spencer Mansion, Lulu was packing her belongings.

Sheryl Harris was helping her, and she told Lulu, “You can visit anytime you want if you miss Irene. Think of this place as your home, and we have more rooms than we need. I'll save one so you can come here anytime.

Lulu's toughness crumbled from Sheryl's warmth.

Tears welled out of Lulu’s eyes right then, and she firmly wiped it away. “Thank you.”

“It's no issue, Sheryl said, patting her on the back of her hand and adding mildly. “You're like a sister to Irene and you've helped her a lot. From where I'm standing, you're both my children.”

Lulu could not say anything then, because she was already choking with tears and would not be able to hold it in.

Once she was done packing, Sheryl was walking with her to the front gate when Ricky just happened to

return.

It appeared that he left something at home, and his eyes widened when he saw Lulu holding her suitcase. “Where are you going?”

“Back to Sunny City.” Lulu forced a smile. “Come visit me when you can. I'll buy you some good food.”

Ricky tugged at her. “Don’t go.”

Lulu gave him a look. “This isn't my home, so I can’t stay forever. Even so, I'm grateful that you took such good care of me. I'll remember your grace, and if I have the chance, I'll be offering you lodging instead.” She then added jokingly, “I hope you wouldn't have to do that, though.” Even so, Ricky said, “Come on. You can stay a little longer.”

“I've stayed long enough,” Lulu replied. “And I still have a job.”

Ricky gave up then. “Can I at least offer a ride?”

“Sure, thanks.”

Ricky helped her put her suitcase in the car trunk, and align the way to the station, Ricky asked, “You seem in a hurry. I'm guessing you broke up?”

Lulu turned to study him. “Why do I get this feeling that you were eager for that to happen, brat?”

“Oh, come on—a man who hurts you doesn't deserve you.”

Lulu almost laughed in amusement. “Do you even understand how relationships work, kiddo? It's like you're Dr. Romance or something.” “I'm not a kid,” Ricky countered. “I actually manage a company, and I have been in relationships myself.”

“Oh, really? Do tell-how many girlfriends have you had?” Lulu asked in curiosity just then.

“A handful.”

“Who do you think you're kidding?” Lulu was skeptical-Ricky had just recently become an adult.

Was he saying that he started dating at school?

As such, she did not take him seriously.

Nonetheless, the car soon turned quiet, and neither of them spoke. Ricky was sneaking glances at Lulu from time to time.

For Lulu’s part, she was still too despondent over her breakup with Zachary to notice that Ricky was watching her.

No matter how much of a tough front she put up, their relationship had lasted, only for it to end in a break up.

She would be lying if she said that it did not hurt.

“The one who doesn't stay with you until the end just isn't the love of your life,” Ricky assured her just then. “The one who does is.

Lulu giggled. “Eloquent, aren't you?"

“Of course.” Ricky reared his chin rather proudly.

However, once they arrived at the station, Ricky could only walk her to the ticket booth.

He then waved her goodbye. “Remember to call me when you get home.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Okay,” Lulu replied.

Meanwhile, Isaac arrived at the exclusive nightclub only to find that the security footage was all gone.

Someone had clearly meddled beforehand.

When Harvey was told that someone was asking for the footage, he instantly knew it was Isaac and rushed to the scene.

Irene was really angry at him, and he should really do something about it.

Even though he was eager to have Irene fight with Isaac, actually doing that was despicable.

When he arrived, Isaac was just stepping out the front door.

“Are you here for the footage?” Harvey smiled—it was rare for him to be one up on Isaac.

Nearby, Stan wanted to beat Harvey up the instant he saw him, and was eager to do so at any moment.

“Feeling guilty, are you?” he snapped. “Is that why you had the footage erased? Because you did something that must not be seen?”

Harvey had every intention to defend Irene, but was left incensed by Stan's words and snapped, “Yes, I deleted it on purpose, because I was afraid Isaac here would get a heart attack if he saw what actually happened last night.”
