Chapter 600
Ember's face turned pale right then.
How could she have forgotten? Zachary had changed! He was no longer the same man from before!
Naturally, she had to save her mother, and so, she held out her hand. "Let me sign it already!"
Zachary's assistant passed her the divorce agreement, and Ember picked up a pen.
To think that the marriage she had gone through so much for was now at its end.
There was certainly no happiness to be had from coercion!
Now, she felt both spite and regret!
Closing her eyes for a moment, she signed the divorce agreement.
"We will go our separate ways now, Zachary Slate," she said, throwing the ballpoint pen carelessly on the desk.
Now, she no longer felt love for the man-only hatred for ruining her family.
"Now give me the money you promised!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why should I?" Zachary said, lounging on his couch.
Ember frowned. "You told me that you would give me money if I signed the divorce agreement. Are you breaking
your promise?"
"I did." Zachary did not deny it, but pointed out, "You just didn't sign it at the time, and the effective period is now
over. The money is gone now."
Ember felt her rage flaring. "You tricked me?"
"Not really. I offered you an opportunity, but you didn't take it," Zachary replied, already impatient. "Now get out of
here!"
Ember refused. "You have to pay me! My mother is still in the hospital! Her medical bills need to be paid!"
"What does that have to do with me?!" Zachary shot back, and gestured for his assistant to call in security.
Ember was seething, but there was nothing she could do-there was no way she could win against Zachary now.
He could do anything he wanted with her!
The security guards soon arrived, restrained Ember, and dragged her out of Zachary’s office even as she bellowed
his name endlessly.
Her voice soon faded from that floor, affording Zachary peace and quiet.
He glanced at the divorce agreement on this desk and rose to his feet.
His cellphone then rang, and he picked it up.
It was a call from Erin Gooding-he had delegated James Cross's care to her after transferring him to another
hospital.
"Hello? J-James just woke up."
Her thrill was palpable.
Zachary did a double take before realizing what she was saying. "Really?!
I'll be right there."
He was certainly surprised-James waking up was a miracle!
He drove much quicker than he usually would, arriving at the hospital ward to find James with his eyes opened in his
bed!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalking up and clapping him on the shoulder, Zachary exclaimed, "I thought you'd be sleeping for the rest of your
life!"
Then, turning to Erin, he asked, "Have the doctors taken a look at him?"
"They have." Erin beamed. "There are no issues-he just needs some physiotherapy and he'll make a full recovery."
"Leave US for a moment," James suddenly said. "I need to talk to Zachary."
Erin was left pouting. "Where's your conscience? I've been taking care of you all this while and you've never
thanked me! Now, I'm in your way?
Watch out, or I'll beat you up."
"This is important," James said feebly. "Please."
Zachary glanced at James and then at Erin, his lips curling up into a smile." Yeah, keep flaunting. I'm sure you're
immune to death flags."
Erin's cheeks flushed right then and she ran outside in embarrassment.
Zachary sat on James's bed then and kept teasing, "Alright, now make it quick-l'd really hate to be a third-wheeler."
Nonetheless, James's expression suddenly turned grim!
Zachary frowned. "Wait, what are you going to say? Don't look so serious- you're spooking me."
