Chapter 798
It would take a couple of days before their order could be processed. Serenity and Jasmine needed to get all the study materials the students needed for the new school term before the school reopened. They should at least know the materials needed in advance so they could place the order. Putting the mop back into the closet, Jasmine uttered, “I found out last night what we needed and made a list. The list is in my bag. You can check it and phone the supplier to make the delivery in the next few days.” Students would purchase the school materials assigned by the teachers or that were recommended in the first few days of school. It would be the busiest time in the shop. Serenity asked her sister and Mrs. Lane to help out at the shop on the first day of school. Liberty had gotten in touch with a contractor to remodel her restaurant. Now that the price had been agreed upon, the remodeling would begin in a few days. The students would be returning before the restaurant's reno
Chapter 799
Jasmine was highly interested in the identity of Mrs. York. She was in awe of Mrs. York’s ability to turn a callous man like Mr. York into an uxorious husband. She had heard a lot about Mr. York adoring his wife lately. Jasmine had asked Josh before to pull some strings and introduce her to Mrs. York. Josh was Mr. York’s most trusted man, so he must be one of the first to know that Mr. York was married. Jasmine bet Josh had met Mrs. York in the flesh. Alas, Josh turned down her request, saying that he could not reveal who Mrs. York was until Mr. York was ready to make the public announcement himself. It got Jasmine down for days. Josh was trying to win her heart right now, but he could not even make her one wish happen. It showed how protective Mr. York was of his wife. Now that some news was finally out, she had to click on it and see what was going on. “What’s there to read? It’s only about his marriage.” Serenity laughed and added, “Why are you people dying to fi

It explained why Zachary went away on business after Serenity did a DNA test with her aunt. Zachary was trying to get away from meeting Aunt Audrey in case the jig was up and his cover was blown! Serenity’s mind flashed back to the moments in their four-month-old marriage as color washed off her face. Jasmine noticed that Serenity’s hand over the mouse was shaking. “Seren. Seren. Are you okay? Are you alright?” Serenity’s reaction gave Jasmine a scare. Jasmine immediately smacked and shook her. Like a puppet, Serenity sat still and did not respond no matter how many times Jasmine tried to get her attention or smack her. Serenity simply stared at Zachary’s face blown up on the computer screen in a trance. It was him. It had to be him! He was her spouse. There was no way she could be wrong about that. They were a couple who shared the most intimate moments together. She was beginning to trust her spouse, but he turned out to be a big liar! He had her fooled from the sta
Chapter 801
Duncan shot Liberty an angry look before getting out of the car. He went into the restaurant and picked up the keys to lock the place up. Back in the car, Duncan concentrated behind the wheel and asked, “What happened? You’re all over the place, and you look pale.” “Jasmine called me to say something happened to Seren.” Color washed off Liberty’s complexion further at the mention. Her sister went to the bookshop to tidy up the place today. What could have happened? Did a bookshelf topple over her sister? There were a lot of books on the shelf. The weight of the bookshelf with the help of gravity falling on a person… Liberty stopped herself from dwelling deeper into that scenario. She was terrified. What if something happened to her sister? What if her sister had an accident? Liberty had lost her parents and only had her sister, growing up. If her sister… Tears streamed down Liberty’s face. Duncan asked with concern, “What happened to your sister?” Since Sereni

Jasmine answered, “That’s him!“Mr. York accepted a press interview. I watched the interview, and it was about him and Seren. Seren turned white and stunned like a puppet when she saw the video. I pushed, hit, and yelled at her, but she hasn’t shown any reaction. She’s scaring the hell out of me. That’s why I’m calling you for help.” Liberty had the shock of her life. Her brother-in-law turned out to be the heir of the York family! How could that possibly be? Liberty had met the Yorks. They were no different from ordinary folks. They dressed in clothes without labels and drove mid-range priced cars. They did not seem wealthy to Liberty. The only thing that stood out was that the Yorks carried themselves with grace and culture. “I’ll be right there. Pour a glass of water for Seren and tell her to drink it. If that doesn’t help, splash her with a basin of cold water. That should do the trick.” Jasmine replied, “Won’t Seren catch a cold?” With her head clearer than before,
Chapter 803
While Serenity and Jasmine took off from the shop, Liberty got a ride from Duncan and arrived at Wiltspoon School in no time. Since school was still out, it was dead quiet near the school grounds and the shops nearby the entrance were not open for business either. Liberty noticed the door to her sister’s bookshop was shut. “Why is it close?” Liberty got out of the room and approached the shop. She pounded on the door, but there was no response whatsoever from inside. Pulling out her phone, Liberty gave her sister a call. Serenity was bent on storming to York Corporation and getting answers from Zachary. Was he really the heir of the wealthiest York family? Too caught up in her clouded thoughts to hear her phone ring, Serenity did not pick up her sister’s call. Liberty had to call Jasmine. Jasmine was in mid-pursuit of Serenity on her e-bike, but her ride was losing speed. Jasmine had charged the battery of her e-bike a few days ago, and the battery was running out! Wi
Chapter 804
Nevertheless, Zachary changed his mind after whipping his phone out. It was a decision he made. It was the path he chose. No matter what, he had to finish it himself.There was no doubt Serenity would be mad. All Zachary must do was apologize and explain. He was willing to do the grunt work of winning his wife’s heart again because it was his cross to bear. Zachary should not count on Nana’s help all the time. Frankly, he was not the only one lying to Serenity. His whole family had Serenity fooled… Nana probably would not be of much help to make the situation better because Seren might also hold a grudge against Nana. The first person to lie about who they were was Nana! If Serenity had watched Zachary’s interview, the others must have seen it too. The public was mostly unbothered by the interview, jealous of Serenity at best since she was so blessed to marry Mr. York and receive his love. However, the Hunts and the Browns took the news rather interestingly. John cam
Chapter 805
Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt could not give the family a moment of rest too. The old folks expected money from their kin for the holidays since their savings were spent on Old Mrs. Hunt’s hospital stay. The seniors did not feel comfortable without any money, so they tried to get money from the rest of the family for retirement. John said, “Dad, Serenity’s husband is the York guy. He’s Mr. York, the heir of the York family. I’m talking about the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. He’s worth billions.” Baffled, Chris looked at his son as if he could not believe the words coming out of his son’s mouth. Was Serenity’s husband the heir of the wealthiest Yorks? A billionaire? That would mean a lot of money. “Is that true, John?” “Honest to God. His interview was on TV. We’ve met Zachary. The reporters called him Mr. York. It must be him. It is him.” Once Chris got the confirmation he needed, he smacked his lap and said, “I’ll go find your grandparents now. That’s their retirement fund
