Chapter 364
Unlike with Harvey, Irene sounded apologetic this time. “What brought you here, Lulu? Ricky told me that you’re leaving, but I was too busy although I wanted to check on
you.”
Lulu’s eyes were unfocused and swollen, and she rasped, “Irene…”
Irene felt her chest tighten when she got a good look at Lulu’s face. “What’s wrong?”
“Zachary cheated on me,” she said, choking with tears just then.
Irene promptly put a hand around her shoulder. “Let’s talk elsewhere.”
It was a chance for Harvey to be helpful, and he naturally took it. “I know a place where you won’t be disturbed, and you could get a few drinks there as well.”
Irene was concerned about Lulu, and gave him a brief look before saying, “Fine. Take us there.”

Soon, they arrived at an exclusive nightclub, where Harvey had a private box reserved all year round. After Irene brought Lulu inside, Harvey started to follow them, only for
Irene to shoot him a glare. “Why are you following us? This is girls‘ talk.”
Harvey was speechless–did he go through so much just to be kept outside his own room? Nonetheless, he took two steps back and said, “Alright. You two stay inside. I’ll wait
here.”
“Thank you,” Irene said–Harvey was annoying, but he was definitely helpful this time.
He chuckled. “Oh, you don’t have to thank me. I should be thanking you for such a successful operation on my mom. The reason she is-”

Bang!
Irene suddenly shut the door in Harvey’s face, not bothered to hear the rest and leaving him on the other side of the door!
He suddenly felt like singing ‘It’s a sad, sad situation…”
Meanwhile, Irene sat down and quickly asked, “What happened? Zachary has always been loyal to you. Why would he cheat on you?”
“Loyal?” Lulu laughed dryly, biting her lip for a moment before bursting out, “If he’s loyal, he won’t end up in some other woman’s bed, and she’s even pregnant now!”
Irene was speechless. That was undoubtedly a bombshell!
“Could there be a misunderstanding?” she asked.
Lulu shook her head. “Zachary did it. He admitted it himself.”
Irene was actually left bewildered then. “How did it turn out like this?”
“You know why. I wasn’t going to quit my job, so his mother got in our way again. It was obvious she despised me, calling me a jinx because I touch dead people everyday…”
Irene pursed her lips. “Actually, you could have compromised and quit. Zachary definitely would have taken care of you-*
“Irene,” Lulu snapped sternly, giving her a look. “I didn’t want to quit not just because I was afraid that he would cheat on me and I’d lose everything… but I actually don’t

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Did you know that my father remarried less than a year after my mother died? That woman had a child too. Although he did
love my mother before, and I can understand that he wouldn’t want to spend the rest of his life alone, I can’t accept what he did. He neglected me completely after getting a
new wife!”
Lulu remembered seeing how her belongings were thrown away, and her room occupied by her stepbrother.
She had been as shocked as she was furious, but her father said, “You’re going to marry anyway, and you don’t often come home. It’s fine to let your brother stay in the
room, right?”
What brother? She was an only child. How could he treat someone else’s child like his own?
Meanwhile, Irene held an assuring hand around Lulu, but she did not know what to say to comfort Lulu.
She understood how Lulu felt, because it was just like her own father and Samantha White.
“Who’s the woman anyway?”
Lulu laughed coolly. “The daughter of Centric United’s CEO. Zachary’s mother wanted her as his fiancee anyway, and with a bun in the oven, they’d just tie the knot soon.”
Irene frowned. “Was Zachary’s mother behind it?”
