The Runaway Groom

Chapter 424

Irene watched as Ember passed the man a thick envelope and said, “You’d better keep your mouth shut.”

Her voice was lowered, but the threatening edge was clear.

The man was busy groping the envelope to feel its thickness and he grinned in satisfaction. “I won’t breathe a word–don’t worry.”

Ember then looked around, pressing her cap down even though she saw no one around them. “I’m going now. Don’t ever contact me.”

“Of course,” the man chuckled. “Still, if you want more banners hung, you can contact me. Anyone loves making easy money.”

Ember did not refuse him. “Don’t worry–I’ll call you if there’s more work to be done. The condition is that you keep your mouth shut, and money will never be a problem.”

“My lips are sealed with industrial glue. Also, are you satisfied with my performance?”

Ember nodded her objective had certainly been achieved.

She was the one who hired this man to flash those banners at Central Tower just to pin the blame on Lulu.

That would drive a rift between Zachary and Lulu, while Mrs. Slate’s distaste of Lulu piled up.

The outcome was certainly ideal, and she could tell from their confrontation in the morning that Mrs. Slate could not have hated Lulu more.
