Chapter 754
“Mr. Young–Johnson, you’ve been through this. I need your advice. How did you confess to your wife about your
identity? What was your wife’s reaction when she found out? What did you do that she wholeheartedly accepted
you without running the risk of external factors?”
Ben finally got to the bottom of Zachary’s internal conflict.
Zachary did not have the guts to come clean because he feared the harm it would bring his wife.
He got himself in a sticky situation with the heiress of the Stones as well.
If handled wrongly, Ms. Stone might get jealous. The cousins may have a fallout or even turn against each other.
It would, in turn, come between Zachary and his wife.
Picking his cup for a sip of tea, Ben said, “Mr. York, my situation is different from yours though. Although my wife
and I jumped into marriage right away, I set her up for it. I had a crush on my wife for eleven years. I fooled her

“In principle, we did get married in haste, but we were acquainted for eleven years. Jane did not know much about
me, but I knew her well. In fact, I had an agenda of my own.
“You and your wife went from strangers to husband and wife, so you knew nothing about each other. I bet you were
wary of your wife at the start of your marriage. You might even propose to sign a contract.”
A suspicious flush rose upon Zachary’s handsome face.
They walked the same path for sure. Ben was able to guess about the contract.
Zachary uttered in a husky voice, “I got the wrong idea about my wife and kept my guard up against her for a long
time. We signed an agreement, and the content was made to restrict her… The only things she was getting were
our marital home and my car once our marriage ended. It was to compensate for her loss of time and energy.”
Ben asked, “Does the contract still exist? Jane and I signed a contract too, but I nullified the agreement. I didn’t
want to be restricted by the contract now that I got our names on the marriage license.”
It hit Zachary that he came to the right guy.
He had gotten rid of the contract, so no party was bound by the agreement.
“I burned the contract to ashes and flushed the remains down the toilet. She won’t be able to find the agreement
unless she can turn back time.”
Ben laughed. “It sounds like what you’d do.”
He destroyed the contract and made sure no evidence was left behind.
“Jane was shocked when she found out about me. I didn’t tell her about it. My
nemesis, Yves, blew my cover. She believed she was out of my league and wanted a
divorce.”
Color drained from Zachary’s face.
“How did you convince your wife to not go down that route?”
Ben and Jane were the most loving and adorable couple now.

Zachary was envious of Ben and hoped he could successfully get through the marital crisis like Ben. He wanted to
grow old together with Serenity and be surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
“I took practical steps to prove there was no gulf between us. I proved to her that my family accepts her for who
she is. I went out of my way to show that I really love her and that I could give her happiness. I supported whatever
she wanted to do. I would figure out ways to sort out any issue she may have. Gradually, she trusted me more, and
I became someone she could count on.
“Of course, I’ve known Jane for over a decade, so it does become easier. You can learn from me, Mr. York, but it’s
not an easy path for you since it takes a long time for a relationship and trust to grow.
“Your wife has to face the fact that her cousin likes you sooner or later. I think you should consider what her
cousin’s reaction may be. You’re a capable and protective man, Mr. York. I believe you keep your wife out of harm’s
way.
“Mr. York, the truth will come out. She’ll find out with time. I personally recommend that you come clean to your
wife as soon as possible.”
