The Runaway Groom

Chapter 590

While Shirley hesitated, Ember kept persuading her. "Mom, we don't even know if Dad would be abused while he's being arrested. We need to get him out soon-you're the only one who can make the decision and sign the papers."

Shirley was soon convinced-bailing out her husband was the priority anyway.

Turning toward Zachary, she asked, "So? What am I supposed to do?"

A dark look appeared over Zachary's face just then, but he kept solemn as he said, "There's some papers you need to sign.’

"Okay," Shirley said, agreeing to it right away without thinking.

Zachary took out the papers he prepared beforehand and handed it to Ember. "There's no helping it. Some of the company's businesses must be sacrificed to save your father."

Ember took his words at face value and did not even check the papers before passing it to her mother. "You have to sign it while Dad's away, Mom."

Shirley's fingers clenched, but she braced herself and signed the papers, doing it so quickly that she did not read the contents.

The first reason she did it was because she was convinced that Zachary would not lie to her, and these papers would not have anything sinister behind that.
