Chapter 1087
Despite Zachary’s yearning for Serenity to stay, Serenity still left the office in the end and went back to watch her shop. By the time of her return, the shop was still bustling with students. Since Josh had not arrived, Serenity and Jasmine dove right into work. The crowd of students was slowly dispersing when Josh made it to the shop. By then, Serenity could handle the work all on her own. Josh would always drop in with flowers for Jasmine. Jasmine would also prepare little gifts for him. The couple looked out for one another and always had each other’s best interests at heart. They were a pair made in heaven. “Seren, we’re leaving for our date now.” Jasmine held her purse and bouquet given by Josh before announcing her leave to Serenity with a smile. Once Serenity acknowledged her, Jasmine took off with Josh. Serenity was kept occupied for a while until the last swarm of students left. She then went into the kitchen to heat her food up and enjoyed her dinner behind

Mr. Charles replied, “That’s true… It’s a good thing I didn’t tell my wife.” “Mrs. Charles doesn’t give you much allowance, but she doesn’t let you pay for the other stuff. You don’t have to worry about expenses for your parents and parents-in-law, social favors, and expenses for raising your children. You are lucky, Mr. Charles. “It’s not easy to manage money.” While munching, Mr. Charles remarked, “I agree, and that’s why I left the finances to my wife since she’s good at it. I used to be the one to take care of the finances, but our savings never made it past twenty thousand dollars by the end of the year despite our business doing well. Since my wife took over, we have saved close to a hundred thousand dollars a year.“I’m happy with the load off my shoulders and the surplus of money in the family account. My wife is a very fair person. She won’t favor her own family. She gives equal amounts to my parents and her parents. My parents cannot be happier with their daughter-in-l

“Alright. We got it.” These thugs had no idea who Serenity was. Carrie was not that dumb to let them in on it. No amount of money could buy these people to do her dirty work if Carrie let out that Serenity was Mrs. York. “Delete my number when you get the final payment. I can guarantee your safety so long as you do as I say.“Don’t blame me for what’s to come if I catch you blabbering about it.” “Don’t worry, Ms. Jones. We won’t breathe a word to anyone. We’re in this together since you pay us to do the job.” Truth be told, Carrie did not even tell the thugs her real family name.She intended to dump the SIM card after the deed was done and she was through with contacting the thugs. The number was not registered to her name anyway. Carrie hung up the call. Thinking that Serenity was about to get it, she burst out laughing. Serenity should have minded her own business instead of helping Camryn. It was time Serenity got a taste of her own medicine. Knock, knock.Pulling

No one ever spoke the truth behind York Corporation’s attack on Lowe Enterprise, and now the two big companies had resumed their partnership. The people on the outside assumed someone from Lowe Enterprise made a misstep that led to York Corporation’s termination of their partnership. Mr. Lowe had repeatedly sought Mr. York for negotiation before finally reconciling their business relations. “But I can’t stand the cockiness of the country bumpkin! She has no right to give me an attitude. She’s nothing once Mr. York is bored with her.” Carrie pursed her lips and remarked, “I can’t move past this without getting even with her. Mom, I hired eight thugs to go after her. They’re stalking Serenity and waiting until they get to a blind spot on the road to stop her car and beat her up.” With color draining from her face, Mrs. Newman anxiously uttered, “Where did you find these people? Do you have everything in order? Don’t leave any traces that can lead back to you. Also, I heard the

Color washed off the thug’s face. “Are you talking about Mr. York from the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon?” “Oh, it turns out my husband is pretty famous. Even a hooligan knows his name.” The few thugs got onto their hands and feet right away as they wailed, screamed, and pounded their fists on the ground. They chewed Ms. Jones out. No wonder the woman paid a lot to hire a group of men to go against a single young woman. She was the lady of the York household. Mrs. York had been the talk of the town lately. Even the thugs had caught wind of the woman. How did they end up in the hands of Mrs. York? Ms. Jones sure put them in a spot. Noah would call them unlucky too if he knew about this.“Have mercy on us, Mrs. York. We didn’t know who you were and trashed your car. We can make it up to you with another car. Please look upon yourself to forgive us.” “I’ll talk! I’ll tell you who told us to smash your car. It’s Ms. Jones. Her phone number is XXXXXXXXX. She gave us a lot

The thug chose to listen to Serenity and gave Carrie a call. Serenity told the bodyguards to prop him up for the call. The thug would be panting for air while prostrating and talking at the same time. Carrie was urged by her mother to call the thugs when the call came in. She happily told her mother, “They’re calling, Mom! They’re calling! I bet they finished the job.” She eagerly took the call. “Ms. Jones, we trashed the woman’s car and beat her up. She’s knocked out cold but still breathing. She’s not dead. Hurry up and make the final payment. We want to leave Wiltspoon now.” “It’s good that you didn’t kill her. Snap a photo. I need to be sure that you finished the task before I can pay you.” “We really beat her up real bad. We left the scene immediately since she was bleeding. How could we possibly have stayed for a photo? Hurry up and pay up. We need to run away.” “Are you sure you hit the right woman?” Carrie was not scared at all when she heard Serenity was mangled,

“I’m fine, Zachary. My car was smashed. That’s all.” The thugs were bashing her car by the time Serenity got out. She and the two bodyguards quickly subdued the perpetrators, but it was too late for the car. Zachary glanced at the smashed car and remarked, “All that matters is that you’re safe. We can always replace the car.” “But you gave me this car.” “I gave you one on Valentine’s Day too. You can drive that and send this one for repairs.” Serenity replied, “I prefer the car brand I have right now.” It was discreet. Zachary said, “I’ll take you to get a new car of the same brand tomorrow.” She had a thing against showing off and parading her riches as the wife of the richest man. Zachary was happy to meet her standard and lifestyle. He would do anything to please her so long as he was in the picture. “Did you manage to get who is behind this?” Zachary’s question was meant for his bodyguards. “It’s Carrie,” Serenity answered. Since everybody here had not met C

Carrie simply got cocky and carried away that she forgot to delete the call history that included the recorded call. Zachary and his wife left the rest to the police. Back home, Zachary clung to Serenity. He went everywhere she went. He was her shadow when Serenity grabbed her pajamas to go to the bathroom. “Zachary, Mr. York, just tell me what’s on your mind. We’re a married couple. You can be straight with me about anything.” Serenity stopped at the bathroom door and leaned against the door frame before giving Zachary an amused look. “You’ve become my shadow since we got back from giving our statements. You’re following me wherever I go.” “Seren, please don’t leave home without a bodyguard. I’ll assign four bodyguards to keep you safe on a shift rotation, 24/7. I can promise you that they’ll only report to me if you encounter danger. They won’t be there to spy on you.“I know you can fight, but what if a professional is hired next time? You’ll get hurt.” Zachary’s mind
