Chapter 700
It was Rosa, Harvey's mother.
"Hello, Aunt Rosa? It's me, Seth!" Seth said over the phone. "I can't seem to reach Harvey at the moment..."
"Don't go looking for him if it's nothing important," Rosa replied, and she sounded despondent.
'What? Why?” Seth asked.
Rosa naturally knew about what happened at Harvey's company.
It was also obvious her son was up to something when he sent away her daughter-in-law and her grandson.
Naturally, she tried to talk him out of it, but Harvey would not listen, and she could not do a thing about his
stubbornness.
"Don't bother," she told Seth, not wanting him to get involved.
Seth, however, pressed, ' What happened? You're making it sound so serious..."
"Don't ask. Just remember what I told you.”
"Okay," Seth replied begrudgingly.

Lulu Adams visited Barbara and her husband soon after she left the Slates.
She was worried that she had troubled them, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were still
there.
Barbara was just returning from an errand and she happily came up to Lulu when she saw her. "Welcome back! Did
you come to see us?"
"Yeah," Lulu replied.
Enthusiastic as ever, Barbara had Lulu stay with them for dinner and told her to stay the night as well since she saw
that Lulu brought her bag along. Lulu agreed to it since she had not found lodging.
The next day, however, Lulu found Zachary Slate outside the front door just as she was about to leave to find a job
and lodgings.
And he was not alone-there were eight burly bodyguards behind him.
Instantly wary, Lulu asked, "What do you want?"
"I told you. You either stay with me, or you're not seeing Barbara and her husband ever again. I've even brought my
men just to take them away."
Lulu glared at him. "Don't you dare."
"Come with me and I won't," Zachary replied.
He was being tough because he knew that Lulu would never willingly stay with him now.
This was the only way.
Naturally, Lulu was frustrated, but she could not do anything against Zachary's threat.
To protect Barbara and Peter, she had to compromise.
"Fine. I'll come with you."
"Right now," Zachary insisted.
Lulu heaved. "I know. I'll pack my bag now."
Barbara was just cleaning a guest room and she saw Lulu packing her things. "Are you leaving again so soon?"
"Yeah. I'll come back to visit when I have the time."
"You have to," Barbara said, albeit reluctantly.
"I definitely would," Lulu nodded.

Lulu was emotional that Barbara and Peter really think of her as their daughter, even saving all of that for her.
"Just keep them—I'll come back to eat it when I have the time," she said, walking up to hug Barbara. "Take care of
yourself."
"Yeah." Barbara smiled tenderly.
With that, Lulu picked up her bag and followed Zachary.
She just managed to leave him for one day, but he brought her back in such a despicable manner.
Furious and frustrated, she alighted when they reached Zachary's home, made a beeline for her room, and flung
her bag on the bed.
She was incensed no matter how she thought about it.
Still, Zachary entered just then. "You must be hungry. I'll take you to a nice restaurant."
Lulu found that laughable. "You'll just die sooner because you brought me back, Zachary Slate! It won't just be a fire
or laxative next time. No, I'll fucking kill you!’
