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.

The cops would never trace it back to him since he covered his tracks well, too.

On the other hand, Zachary felt like he could crush the bottle in his hand as he listened, but he restrained his temper with every ounce of control he had.

"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."

Though Peter's gaze seemed to turn turbid, he was getting increasingly elated the more he spoke.

After I bankrupted the company that Lulu's friend owned, she asked to see your mom, not knowing that your mom had every intention to kill her. Once she showed up, your mom had the men who were lying in wait grab her, tie her up, put her in a gunny sack, and dump her in the sea.'

Zachary was shaking with regret and regret, but mostly self-blame.

After all, he did not know certain matters until Peter mentioned it- including Lulu's father remarrying and abandoning her.

How could he have not known?
