The Runaway Groom
Chapter 416

Chapter 416

There was a crowd gathered outside, staring up at Central Tower. Zachary and Ember did the same, and saw several banners dangling over the glass walls of the tower.

[Zachary Slate is a bastard!]

[Zachary Slate, kiss my ass!]

[Ember Lindt is a whore!]

[Ember Lindt is a bitch!]

Zachary was not upset at first, but glowered when he saw that Ember was dragged into it.

“Where's security?” he snapped. “Why isn’t anyone taking those down?!"

“Right away, sir!”

Nonetheless, the Lindts were already alerted—Ember’s parents stepped out as well, and their faces fell when they saw the banners.

“You'd better have an explanation, Zachary.”

As a family with a reputation to uphold, the Lindts were certainly embarrassed that something like that happened at their daughter's wedding.

Mrs. Slate quickly explained, “It must be a prank-"

“Everyone knows our families’ standing in this city, but they mess with us despite knowing that!” Mr. Lindt barked, and turned toward Zachary. “It's obvious that it must be a former flame. Didn't have a clean break, did we? Who else would go this far?”

Mrs. Slate immediately thought of Lulu.

Convinced that Lulu did this because she was upset about Zachary breaking up with her, Mrs. Slates’ spite toward Lulu grew!

“There'd better be an explanation for this,” Mr. Lindt growled. “Ember is our only daughter, and yet she has to suffer this on her wedding day? Outrageous!”

“Don’t worry. We'll get to the bottom of this.” Mr. Slate naturally felt embarrassed too.

Mrs. Slate quickly tried to smooth things over so that things were less awkward.

“It's a day to celebrate—we shouldn't let a trifle ruin the mood,” she said, and pretended to rebuke Zachary. “You have to give your wife and in— laws a reasonable, satisfying explanation for this, you hear me?" Zachary lowered his gaze. “I know.”

“Don’t worry, I'll talk to my parents,” Ember told him softly just then. “They're not so petty that they'd pursue this matter, and I don't think it's Lulu either.”

Zachary looked up at her. “No, it's not like her.”

Ember's expression stiffened for a fraction of a second, but she soon smiled again. “Yes, it's not like her. Let's go in the others will take down those banners, and it's still our wedding day. Let's not ruin the mood over something like this.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Turning toward her own parents and her in-laws, Ember said, “Everyone, there is no need to get upset- this is nothing significant. Someone is just jealous of Zachary and myself, and trying to make us unhappy over this. It's just not worth it to play to their tune.”

Mrs. Slate was certainly pleased with Ember—the wife she had personally chosen for Zachary. “Oh, Ember. You are as beautiful as you are understanding! It's Zachary’s good fortune to marry you.”

At first, she thought that Ember was just another sweet girl who mainly coveted her family’s influence. It turned out today that she was mature and understanding as well, and Mrs. Slate loved her even more.

After Ember calmed both her parents and Zachary's, everyone returned to the wedding hall.

Soon, the wedding luncheon was over, and everyone began to leave. Thanks to the Slates’ and the Lindts’ influence, news of the banners never got out. Though the guests were aware as well, they only spoke of it in private and refrained from making it public.

Irene caught wind of it as well, but did not suspect Lulu at all since she was not that childish.

But if it was not her, then who...?

That was when she remembered Ricky.

That brat really was capable of something like that!

“What's on your mind?” Isaac asked.

“Nothing,” she said, coming to her senses just then, though she told him what she thought soon anyway. “I think Ricky must be behind those banners.”

“What?!” A surprised-even furious-voice exclaimed behind them just then!
