Chapter 518

In fact, James did not even hear it from Irene first hand-Isaac was the one who told him and suggested the ploy.

"If she was willing to sacrifice her own wedding just to tarnish Lulu's reputation, I wonder if she would sacrifice her own baby so that you would give up on Lulu entirely..."

James mused.

Though the idea was as delicate as it was realistic, Zachary was still staring at the phone screen as if he never heard James.

While he actually caught every word, reality was as shocking as it was overwhelming.

The Ember Lindt he knew was naive, kind and understanding... but it turned out that she did not care who she hurt!

"How could a person be so vile?"

All those lies, deception, and conspiracy...

James stared at him and said, “You're no newcomer to business. Haven't you gotten used to all the ploys and stratagems employed? Are you saying that something so trivial really got to you?"

"I just don't get it... How could a young girl like her be so cunning, so heinous?"

There was no doubt that Zachary felt hurt by what Ember did.

He trusted her, and yet...

"If she's the one behind those banners, there's every chance that she's the reason Lulu went missing too," James reminded him. "It's easy to eliminate anyone, especially with your family's influence and hers." Zachary suddenly wheeled on James with a deathly crimson glare. "Are you saying that they killed Lulu?"

James actually flinched from his look and threw his hands up. "It's just a theory. Don't look at me like that-you're scaring me, man..."

"Don't give me that crap if you have no evidence!" Zachary yelled. James blinked. Did he have to yell?

Did he lose it already?!

“Lulu is going to be fine,” Zachary said, furious that James would mention the possibility that Lulu might be dead. He would never believe that!

James did not keep provoking him just then, and assured him, "Look, I misspoke. Maybe Lulu is just held against her will. The key is Ember, so-"

Before he could finish, however, Zachary had already run out of the room.

"Hey!" James tried to stop him, but Zachary was already gone.

James turned toward Isaac just then. "Sir?"

He was worried Zachary would do something rash and cause irreversible damage.

"Leave him be," Isaac said.

He would not have gotten involved at all if not for Irene.

"He's not thinking straight. They would see him coming from miles away,” James pointed out.

“It might not be all bad, since he might drive his real enemies into the open. Also, don't contact me if it's unimportant,” Isaac said, picking up his jacket and starting to leave.

He wanted to leave for a while now, but he would have nothing for Irene without at least doing what she asked, so he simply braced himself and waited.

He could not wait to return to Irene-why would he even waste more time here?!

Arriving outside Irene’s hotel room, Isaac knocked on the door but no one answered.

He tried again, but it was still quiet inside.

Heading to the front desk, he asked, “Could you call Room 508 to see if the guest is in there?"

The receptionist did so, and replied, “I'm afraid they must be away.” Isaac frowned. It was already very late-where else could Irene be? "What about Room 506 and 507?"

"Sorry, sir,” the receptionist replied.

The waitress who saw Irene faint noticed them just as she was about to leave work. She: asked tentatively, "Is the person you're looking for a pregnant lady?"

"Yeah," Isaac replied.

"She fainted, but the two foreigners who were with her rushed her to the hospital,” the waitress told him

Fainted?

Isaac panicked right then. “Which hospital did they go to?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The waitress shook her head. "I don't know."

With that, Isaac hurried outside, calling James as he did. "Find out which hospital Irene has been admitted to!"
