Chapter 693
Lulu flung her wrist, shaking Zachary's hand off, only for Zachary to catch her again, even going further as to wrap
his hand firmly around her waist.
’I know you hate me, Lulu, and I know I was wrong-but our love was true. 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 does no wrong? I admit I was at fault, and I'm
willing to change. Isn't that enough?'
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!”

Zachary did not care!
That was when Mrs. Slate returned from the hospital and she frowned when 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 and she turned toward Isaac. "You want me to
stay? Fine! I want the one who 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 look at you-you want me to stay, but you can't
even avenge me? What would I want a man who can't protect me for? Some tabletop trinket for decoration?"
Lulu deliberately said all that just to make Zachary let go, because she knew that Mrs. Slate tried to have her killed.
Naturally he was left speechless-he could not send his own mother to prison, could he?
Lulu simply pushed him away and gave him a look of disdain before striding outside.
Zachary was left frozen in place, stuck between a rock and a hard place.
One was his mother, while the other was the woman he loved-how could he even decide?
At that very moment, Mrs. Slate finally understood the gravity of her mistake.
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 an apology 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 and headed outside.
He must get Lulu back.
Irene's dark, curled eyelashes twitched as she regained consciousness.
There was a single white light on the ceiling, with rings of halation spiraling downward.

The room was so silent she could hear herself breathing, and each breath vaguely hurt.
She slowly got up, buttoning her blouse and getting out of bed to leave the hospital.
Returning to her car, she told the chauffeur to take her home.
Once they arrived, she quickly headed upstairs and got into the bathroom, where she stayed for a long time.
In the CEO's office at Twinrise Enterprise, James was standing in front of Isaac's desk and reporting, "We hacked all
of Harvey's digital devices and deleted all the security footage he saved, but if he might have saved it in a USB
drive. As for Robin Lynd's suicide, I've enforced a press gag and spoken to the police. The investigation would
conclude it 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 him to 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 was about to leave and he clicked into it.
It was a video clip, and it played as soon as he clicked on it!
