Chapter 802
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

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

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
Chapter 806
“Zachary’s not in the office? He hasn’t come in today?” Serenity was in disbelief. Where was he if not the office? Did he not have the interview in his office? Serenity recalled the background of his interview was fancy. However, it was not a familiar place to her. She had never seen that kind of furnishing. She thought that was his office, and she had never stepped into his office before. Serenity had been to York Corporation multiple times, but Zachary had not brought her to his real office. He lied to her, saying that everybody worked at cubicle desks. If she remembered correctly, Callum’s office had an office door sign that read COO. The whole family was in on it! Serenity scowled at the thought that Zachary had her fooled for a long time. “Ms. Hunt, Mr. York hasn’t been in the office today.” The receptionist, who poured Serenity a glass of water, added, “Do you need to speak with Mr. York? Maybe you can call him?” Serenity grabbed the glass of water. She

Jasmine had given Josh a call earlier to say that her ride ran out of juice in the middle of the road. She was trying to push her e-bike back but it was too great of a distance and she did not make much progress either. In the end, she sought Josh for help. This was the first time Jasmine asked Josh for help. She called him to pick her up because she could get a ride and offer solace to her best friend. Otherwise, Jasmine would have called her brother to pick her up instead, and Josh could kiss the opportunity goodbye. John beckoned Serenity to sit as he paused his plans to pick Jasmine up. “Would you like anything to drink, Ms. Hunt?” “No need for that. I want to ask you a few questions. Is Zachary the heir of the wealthiest family in the city? Is he your boss?” After much silence, Josh replied with a question, “Have you seen Mr. York gushing all over his wife in the interview?” “Gushing all over his wife? More like lying to his wife!” Serenity furiously remarked, “I s

“Ms. Hunt, regardless of the reasons Zachary wasn’t honest about who he was, his feelings for you are true. It’s true that he loves you. There’s no doubt about that.” Serenity started laughing until her eyes welled up. Lifting her arm to rub her eyes, Serenity got up and said to Josh, “Thank you for clearing that up for me, Mr. Bucham. I should leave you to your space. Bye.” Now that Serenity got the confirmation she needed, she did not want to spend another second in this place. Without asking her to stay, Josh rose to his feet and walked out with her. He said, “Ms. Hunt, I know you’re in shock and mad right now. Zachary did you wrong, but it was with reason. There’s no malicious intention behind his actions. Once you calm down, give him a chance to explain. No matter what, you’re husband and wife.” Serenity was without a word, but her grimacing expression was telling. Josh went with Serenity to the bottom floor and saw her off outside the office building before going to h
Chapter 809
Duncan drove Liberty to York Corporation. On the way, he met Jasmine, whose e-bike ran out of battery, and let the distressed girl hitch a ride with them. The bike was strapped to a pole and left by the side of the road. Jasmine planned to retrieve her e-bike once Serenity simmered down. “Seren.” “Seren.” Liberty and Jasmine jumped out of the car and raced toward Serenity. Sonny was somehow left behind and forgotten by his mother. At last, Duncan got to hug Sonny. It was not like Sonny had a choice. His mom dashed out, forgetting that he was still in Duncan’s car. Duncan said he would carry the boy down, so Sonny let him. However, once they got out of the car, Duncan never let his feet touch the ground. In fact, Duncan took quick paces toward Serenity with Sonny in his arms. As Serenity was no match for Josh and Callum, there was no way she could leave York Corporation. Serenity was getting sick and tired. With her sister here, Serenity finally had a meltdown and th
