“What did you say to him?” “What can I say? I can’t tell him bluntly that his successor is trying to steal
your woman from you. This was caused by your personal matters, so you deal with it yourself. I’ll ask
Mr. Chaplin to squeeze in a time for you to meet with Mr. Lowe.” Zachary said indifferently, “Save it for
after the New Year’s. I’m going on a business trip in two days.” Josh froze, suspecting he liad
misheard. “You’re going on a business trip? Where to? Can you bear to leave your wife? Your
relationship happens to be improving now.” Zachary was silent for a long time before saying, “There’s
no harm in telling you this. The whole city will know sooner.”
There was finally gossip to share.
As the representative of all gossipers, Josh’s ears immediately perked up. He grinned and asked,
“What happened?” “The sister who Mrs. Stone has been looking for is most likely my mother-in-law.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosh paused before saying, “You have a mother-in-law? I mean, didn’t your mother-in-law die a long
time ago?” “Yeah, my mother-in-law died more than ten years ago, but what’s stopping her from having
a sister?”
Josh choked. Everyone in Wiltspoon’s upper class was aware of Audrey’s search for her sister. Clive
once came to Julian for help, but Julian felt like there were not many leads. Furthermore, he was in
York Corporation working for Zachary, and Clive was Zachary’s rival. Thus, Julian refused Clive’s
request.
“If your mother-in-law is Mrs. Stone’s sister, doesn’t that make your wife Mrs. Stone’s niece? Then,
you’ll be Mrs. Stone’s nephew-in-law, and Elisa still loves you to death…”
After Josh worked it out, he slapped his thigh and burst out into laughter. “Hahahaha! Zachary, I want to
see how you clean up this mess.” Zachary extended his hand to grab anything within reach and threw
them at Josh.
“Get out!”
“I’ll go out after I’m done laughing. Zachary, just come clean with your wife when you go back tonight.”
Josh did not understand why Zachary was still hesitating at this point. The couple’s feelings were
warming up anyway and that proved Serenity’s character passed his test.
“I’m… afraid.”
He was afraid of losing Serenity if he confessed.
“Wow, I never thought I’d see the day you’ll be afraid of anything. Serves you right!” Zachary glared at
his best friend with a dark expression. “So, you want to go for a business trip and delay it however long
you can?
“The truth will come to light sooner or later. If your inother-in-law isn’t related to Mrs. Stone, that’s okay.
If they’re really sisters, then are you never going to meet your aunt-in-law for the rest of your life? Or do
you not have confidence that your wife will stay?” Zachary thought of Serenity’s temperament and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnodded with difficulty. “I can’t say for sure.” Josh looked at him and smiled. “That’s why I really admire
Serenity. I’m a big fan of hers. “It’s your fault for being stubborn. You clearly like her, but you refuse to
admit it. If not for your grandmother, you’d still be jealous all day every day and smother yourself.”
Zachary paused before he said, “I’m inexperienced in love.” He was at a loss when it came to this
emotion. He wanted to be close to Serenity, but he also rejected her. It was a dilemma. “I’ll go on a
business trip for a few days. When I return, it’ll be time for Ben Young-Johnson’s wedding.” He would
make use of this period while he was away to think hard about the scenarios under which he would
confess everything to Serenity. He would think of a way of telling her so she would not get too angry. If
he had known that he would end up falling in love with her, he would never have made that decision.
However, at that time, they did not know each other, and he even misunderstood her and was guarded
against her. Concealing his identity to examine her character was the best way. He had to be grateful
that he did not abuse her. Otherwise, he would end up suffering greatly in the end. Josh could also
understand why Zachary made that decision in the beginning.
