The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364

Unlike with Harvey, Irene sounded apologetic this time. “What brought you here, Lulu? Ricky told me that you’re leaving, but I was too busy although I wanted to check on you.”

Lulu’s eyes were unfocused and swollen, and she rasped, “Irene…”

Irene felt her chest tighten when she got a good look at Lulu’s face. “What’s wrong?”

“Zachary cheated on me,” she said, choking with tears just then.

Irene promptly put a hand around her shoulder. “Let’s talk elsewhere.”

It was a chance for Harvey to be helpful, and he naturally took it. “I know a place where you won’t be disturbed, and you could get a few drinks there as well.”

Irene was concerned about Lulu, and gave him a brief look before saying, “Fine. Take us there.”

“Alright.” Harvey promptly ran off to get his car, while Irene kept her hand around Lulu even as they got in.

Soon, they arrived at an exclusive nightclub, where Harvey had a private box reserved all year round. After Irene brought Lulu inside, Harvey started to follow them, only for Irene to shoot him a glare. “Why are you following us? This is girls‘ talk.”

Harvey was speechless–did he go through so much just to be kept outside his own room? Nonetheless, he took two steps back and said, “Alright. You two stay inside. I’ll wait here.”

“Thank you,” Irene said–Harvey was annoying, but he was definitely helpful this time.

He chuckled. “Oh, you don’t have to thank me. I should be thanking you for such a successful operation on my mom. The reason she is-”

Bang!

Irene suddenly shut the door in Harvey’s face, not bothered to hear the rest and leaving him on the other side of the door!

He suddenly felt like singing ‘It’s a sad, sad situation…”

Meanwhile, Irene sat down and quickly asked, “What happened? Zachary has always been loyal to you. Why would he cheat on you?”

Lulu remembered seeing how her belongings were thrown away, and her room occupied by her stepbrother.

She had been as shocked as she was furious, but her father said, “You’re going to marry anyway, and you don’t often come home. It’s fine to let your brother stay in the room, right?”

What brother? She was an only child. How could he treat someone else’s child like his own?

Meanwhile, Irene held an assuring hand around Lulu, but she did not know what to say to comfort Lulu.

She understood how Lulu felt, because it was just like her own father and Samantha White.

“Who’s the woman anyway?”

Lulu laughed coolly. “The daughter of Centric United’s CEO. Zachary’s mother wanted her as his fiancee anyway, and with a bun in the oven, they’d just tie the knot soon.”

Irene frowned. “Was Zachary’s mother behind it?”
