Chapter 442
Zachary demanded, "You're the one who got Lulu fired, aren't you?"
Ember could clearly hear his voice from upstairs!
Mrs. Slate scoffed. “You call that a job? And yes, I framed her for a mistake and got her fired. She was
the one who humiliated us with those banners at your wedding, and her behavior will only escalate if I
don't straighten her out."
Ember was naturally smug when she heard that-Mrs. Slate now hated Lulu to the bone, did she not?
"Do you have any evidence it was her?" Zachary snapped.
“Evidence? She admitted it herself!’ Mrs. Slate shot back, furious that Zachary was still thinking about
Lulu. “You're married, Zahcary-you should be caring about Ember. Her family background matches
ours, and she is the Lindts’ only daughter. It's not just an individual marriage, but a marriage between
families! Don't you understand how lucky you are?"
Zachary had always known that his mother loved money and influence, and his father’s philandering
ways left her suffering considerably.
That was why he gave in to her demands to break up with Lulu.
And yet, she was not stopping...
"I've already compromised on Lulu and even resigned as a doctor to marry Ember. Don't harass Lulu
ever again after I did everything you told me to," Zachary told her just then
"If she stays away, I would have no reason to,” Mrs. Slate said, since she knew better than to push her
own son too far.
Meanwhile, Ember was left clenching on the scaffolding as she stood upstairs.
Zachary still cared so much about Lulu?
What did she have to do for Zachary to only think of her? Lulu’s disappearance, perhaps?
Meanwhile, Zachary appeared despondent. "I hope you keep your word, Mom, or you're going to make
me appear less than a man to others.”
"What, did Lulu come to you? Did she say that you're not a man?" Mrs. Slate raised a brow, at once
wary and annoyed.
Zachary gave her a look of helplessness and misery. "Don't worry, she won't come to me ever again-
she's disgusted with me."
"Who does she think she is?!" Mrs. Slate snapped, eternally convinced that it was Lulu who did not
deserve her son. "She's a measly jinx who works with dead people, and she's disgusted with you? The
nerve!”
"Everyone's job has a purpose, Mom. Without law enforcement to keep the peace, your money would
have been taken away, whether by kidnapping or even blackmailing. You're only leading a stable,
peaceful life because of those who do their jobs without complaint."
Mrs. Slate was left fuming. "What are you saying? That I would be poor if not for the likes of her?!"
Zachary, however, stayed quiet and turned to leave, because he did not want to argue.
"Stop," Mrs. Slate huffed. "Go upstairs and check on Ember. You're already here anyway."
Zachary turned stiffly around and held his mother's gaze like a puppet devoid of emotion. "Aren't you
going to drug me again? So that I'll sleep with her?"
Mrs. Slate glowered. "Watch your mouth!"
Zachary simply snorted in disdain and headed upstairs, although there was no telling whom he actually
felt disdain for.
As he entered the bedroom, Ember, who was sitting on the bed, quickly got up when she saw him,
flashing that innocent smile of hers.
“Is something wrong, Zachary? You don't look well.”
Zachary shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Then why the long face?" Ember pointed out, and went up to pull him along to the bed. “Here, sit. Let
me give you a massage.”
Zachary did so, and she knelt behind him to massage his shoulders. "I should learn this properly next
time, so that I can relieve you if you get tired, n
"You don't have to," Zachary said.
"I should, because we are married," she said shyly.
"Sorry for what happened before..." Zachary began.
However, Ember quickly cut him short and wrapped her arms around his neck. “It's not your fault,
Zachary. I wanted it anyway- I've always loved you. She had always been interested in Zachary, or she
would not have played along with Mrs. Slate's machinations.
At the same time, Zachary closed his eyes.
He did not love Ember, but he could not bear to hurt an innocent girl either.
Stephen received a call from Irene to tidy up everything she left back in her desk drawer back at
Melville Hospital.
She had already gone abroad, but she left so urgently she only remembered after the fact that she left
a mess back home.
It was no big deal, however, and Stephen quickly agreed to it.
However, just as he headed to her office, he found all the other doctors standing outside in the
walkway.
Frowning, he asked, "What's everyone doing out here?"
One of them pointed inside, and Stephen looked into the office in turn...
