The Runaway Groom

Even at this juncture, Vivian was bent on foolishly shifting the blame to Lulu.

Grabbing Zachary's arm frantically, Vivian cried, "Wendy must have planned all this, Mr. Slate. Just arrest her-everything will be fine after."

"Mr. Slate, Wendy was the one who lost your baby!" she cried. "How could you still trust her? You're putting Star in danger!"

Zachary completely ignored her, however, and went in the precinct to speak with the officers inside.
