The Runaway Groom

Chapter 563

Peter gloated smugly. ‘Of course I do. I was the one who planned it all out!'

Although the conspiracy to murder Lulu was his, it was Zachary's mother who pulled the trigger.

"I see. What was the plan?" he asked, having done his best to hide the rage from his voice to stay as calm as possible.

'We've looked into it, but Lulu Adams has no connections at all... Her mother is dead, while her father remarried and doesn't care about her, so I told your mom that no one would ever notice if someone like her disappeared... and we did just that."
