Chapter 599

Ember grabbed him by the hand, exclaiming, "You're coming with me. We're settling this with Zachary once and for

all."

Even now, she was still convinced that Zachary had framed her.

The man-Winston Dickens-glanced at her briefly, but shook her off in the next instant, knocking her off balance and

landing raggedly on her knees.

As she glared at him furiously, Winston recognized her in turn.

"Oh, it's you."

Winston dropped to a crouch before her and lifted her chin. "What, was that night so unforgettable that you want to

go again?"

Ember restrained her disgust even as she denied it. "Dream on! All I want to know is who paid you to frame me!"

Winston looked up then, and inadvertently spotted Debbie stepping out of a boutique, and gestured with his chin for

Ember to look. "There she is."

Ember slowly turned to find Debbie being mobbed and fawned over, while Winston stroked his chin interestedly

beside her. "Seems like she's doing well for herself."

As for Ember, her eyes widened while her face contorted with rage-she had never expected Debbie to be the one

who framed her!

It was her?!

Her hand slowly clenched into fist on the floor, even as Winston appeared annoyed. "Rumor has it that she's

marrying Isaac Jefferson-I didn't think that she was that well connected. I mean, that's a man with money and

power, and I would've asked her for money if I had known."

Quickly noticing the greed in his eyes, Ember asked, "Why don't we work together?"

Winston did not seem to understand. "To do what?"

"Kidnap her and demand a ransom," she explained, even as she tried to persuade him. "You were saying that she's

marrying Isaac, right? That means she's rich, so why don't we work together here?"

Winston stared at Ember then, as if to read if she was sincere.

Ember certainly did not hide her spite for Debbie, and after Debbie paid him to defile Ember, Winston believed that

it was reasonable for Ember to plan to kidnap Debbie in retaliation.

And if he could get another chunk of cash from Debbie, he got to keep living like a king-he had already burned

through the money Debbie paid him before, after all.

Hence, Winston agreed to work with Ember after thinking about it briefly, only for Ember to hold out a hand to him,

saying, "Lend me twenty bucks."

She still needed to take a taxi to Zachary's office.

"Are you really that poor?" Winston teased.

"No thanks to you," Ember growled through gritted teeth. "Zachary is now bent on divorcing me and destroying my

whole family because of you!"

Winston, however, did not believe that he was at fault, even asking smugly, "So? Are you blaming me?"

"You're just a tool. Debbie was the one who made you do it," Ember said, knowing that she had no issue with him-

Debbie was the culprit.

"Understanding, aren't you?" Winston chuckled.

Ember did not want to waste her breath with him. "I'm busy. Let's meet tonight."

They traded phone numbers, and Winston actually gave her twenty dollars.

This time, Zachary did not let Ember in immediately, and kept her waiting at the lobby until the evening, when he

finally sent someone to bring her to his office.

She calmed down considerably now that she found out Zachary was not the one who framed her that night and she

said evenly, "I'll sign the divorce agreement."

"Really?" Zachary asked flatly.

"I'm not going to survive if I keep refusing. You've taken everything from my family just to force the divorce, haven't

you?"

Zachary snorted coldly. "You lot deserve that after what you did."

"What, you mean Lulu Adams?" Ember laughed. "Don't forget that your mother was the one who actually did it.

Why aren't you taking it out on her? Why don't you bring her to justice if you're not all talk?"

Zachary's eyes narrowed as his expression cooled. "You're desperate, Ember Lindt—that's why you're agreeing to

the divorce. And yet you're trying to provoke me... are you sure I won't arrange for the hospital to deny your

mother help?"
