Chapter 1299
Zachary read the documents three times before quietly putting the papers in order and slipping them back into the
file. He then handed the file to Julian and thanked him.
"It never occurred to me that they would use the Yates girl," Zachary callously remarked.
"Liberty brought it up to me because she thought it was strange. That got me thinking. It was strange indeed. She
never wanted Hank to see Sonny before, but now she visits with Hank and tries to be friendly with Sonny."
They had a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Newman and his wife were in on it. They also suspected that it must be
someone Zachary had offended. To everybody's surprise, Jessica was the pawn in this game.
Since the Browns were related by blood to Sonny, the family’s attempt to be nice to Sonny did not raise any
suspicion.
'They're not trying to get even with you, Mr. York. It's your wife they are after, but you had her surrounded by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsecurity. Your wife can fight too. They wouldn't try anything in broad daylight since you’re a man of status and
power. That was probably why they tried to get to your wife through her nephew.
"As far as I know, your wife practically raised her nephew. Your wife is close with him, so she'll be more than willing
to meet their demands to see them alone if her nephew ends up in their hands."
Now that Julian got the whole story, he had to say that these people were great at playing mind games.
'They had tried to use your wife's relatives, but they forewent the idea probably because her relatives were
unreliable and couldn't produce results."
Serenity’s relatives were all talk and no action. They could do nothing in the face of powerful people.
The Hunts had tried to replace Serenity as Mrs. York with a plastic version, but that turned out to be a bust. Serenity
found out about their plan, and Zachary foiled it.
Harriet, who went under the knife, had her face altered to be exactly the same as another cousin. The cousin's
husband mistook Harriet for his wife, and a kerfuffle ensued. Harriet and that cousin had since turned on each
other.
Now, Harriet had to go for another plastic surgery.
Anyway, the Hunts did not amount to anything.
They did more harm than good.
"I'll hand the information on these people to the police tomorrow. The authorities will handle the arrest. But these
people are sly. I doubt they can be captured all at once. Just watch your backs, for now, Mr. York."
Julian did not let Zachary take the documents away because it was not safe. It was time to hand over the case to
the police as these people were once the henchmen of a crime lord. Their records were not squeaky clean.
'Thank you, Julian. We'll be careful."
Zachary thanked Julian.
Julian said with a smile, "Don't stress over it too much. I won't let anything happen to you. They might try again in
the next few days. I'm guessing they would pick the upcoming holiday. People will be out and about during the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfestive holiday. The crowd will make it a perfect cover for them to strike and run away.
"Just carry on with your plans. They might have eyes on you, but I've got people watching them too."
Julian's remark gave Zachary assurance.
He showed his appreciation toward Julian repeatedly.
"It’s not like we just knew each other, Mr. York. Don’t mention it. You and Josh are best friends, so you're my friend
too."
Josh gleefully chimed in, "You should thank me, Zachary. I told my cousin to help you."
'Thank you."
Josh grinned. "That's it? Can't you give me something to work on? How about an extra month off for my martial
leave?”
Zachary said, "Aren't two months enough? What? Are you going to quit your job just because you're getting
married?"
"It's just two months. Make it three. I'm happy to accept two and a half months too."
Zachary looked at him resignedly.
