Having read Serenity‘s post on Twitter , Shawn‘s heart went out to Serenity.
Shawn hated himself for his being young as he had only entered the workforce and could barely stand on his two feet. He was incapable of being shoulder Serenity could lean Oni yet
If he had the influence, status, and finesse possessed by the heir of the Yorks, Shawn would make the Hunts‘ lives a living hell.
“I won‘t patch things up with them so easily. It‘s not like they genuinely want to make peace anyway. They only came looking for me because the netizens put the heat on them. Not to mention, they must live with the repercussions. They‘d rather die than admit they‘re wrong if it weren‘t for the retribution in their lives now.”
The Hunts did not think they were in the wrong the whole time. They believed Serenity should foot the medical bill now that Old Mrs. Hunt was sick. They expected Serenity to pay for gas and travel expenses as they accompanied Old Mrs. Hunt all the way to the city and visited her too.
Since Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt occupied Serenity‘s family home, it gave an illusion to the Hunts that Serenity‘s family should be responsible for the old folks. Serenity‘s family should be the ones paying for everything.
As for whatever happened in the past, the Hunts chose to forget about it.
“Honestly, I wouldn‘t believe such people exist in the world if I hadn‘t seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears. I‘m not just talking about one or two. The entire family is bizarre.”
Jasmine had never seen anything like it. It was mind blowing.
Shawn believed the Hunts were unbelievable. Their shamelessness was on a whole new level.
“Serenity, I got your conversation with them on tape,” Jasmine said. “I‘ll send the voice recording to you in case they make things up about you again online.”
Serenity gave her best friend the thumbs up. The Hunts got her so riled up that it slipped her mind to record on her phone.
“Shawn, aren‘t you going to work?” After sending the voice recording to her best friend , Jasmine realized her cousin was still at the shop. She urged him to hurry to work.
Reluctant to leave , Shawn uttered, “I‘m working in my family‘s company. It doesn‘t make a difference if I‘m a little late.”
“All the more you should put in the effort and abide by the company‘s rules and regulations since you‘re working in your family‘s company. Set a good example so no one can find fault with you. Hurry along now. You‘ll get it if Aunt Rachel finds out you‘re not in the office.”
As Shawn was the firstborn, Jasmine‘s aunt and uncle had high expectations of him to eventually take over the family business.
Serenity chimed in, “Shawn, you should rush to work. It‘ll be time to clock out if you don‘t leave now.
Although Shawn grumbled and whined , he grabbed his car keys and walked out while reminding Serenity,” Serenity, don‘t forget to buy me dinner.” “Got it. When did I ever break my promise to you?”
Shawn left the bookshop reluctantly.
With Shawn gone, the bookshop resumed its former peace.
Jasmine proceeded to read novels while Serenity worked on her crafts.
She put away her tools when noon was approaching as school was out for the day.
Meanwhile, after business–related discussions ended in the CEO‘s office at York Corporation, Josh casually brought up, “Mr. York, I got word that the missus‘ relatives made quite an entrance when they turned up at her shop. The lot of them came in a few cars.”
Zachary‘s dark eyes glistened, but he kept a straight face. Without lifting his chin, he said saintly, “Serenity is her own woman.
It‘s not like those people can get their way even if they show up since she has a leg to stand on.”
Seeing that his boss was not the least bit worried, Josh sensibly changed the subject It had only been a short while since their marriage. His boss was detached in nature, so it was likely Serenity needed more time to win his boss‘s heart.
Oh, Serenity! The battle is far from over. You need to keep going! ‘You can do it!‘ Josh cheered Serenity on in his mind, hoping the missus could steal Zachary‘s heart soon. It would be interesting when it happened.
“Lunch together?”
Zachary put his signature on the paperwork before putting down his pen. He glanced at Josh and declined the request, “You put me off lunch.”
Josh was speechless.
“You‘re nosy like a woman. I prefer silence.”
Josh was dumbfounded , to say the least. How was Josh supposed to gather intel for Zachary if he did not pry into other people‘s business?
Zachary was a little worried that Serenity could not deal with the Hunt cousins, but he said nothing about it. He did not even give Serenity a call. Now that they had been married for nearly a month, Zachary had a bit more of an idea of Serenity’s personality now than before. Serenity would call him for help if things were more than she could handle. Since there were no calls from her, it meant she could manage. Besides, she would not lose since she had a leg to stand on.
With this in mind, Zachary switched to another car after work and drove to Wiltspoon School.
When Zachary was leaving the office , Josh complained that Zachary had recently pushed all the business dinners onto him.
Zachary replied, “I have a wife. I should go home to spend some time and bond with my wife after work.”
Josh was speechless.
“As it! It’s clearly an excuse!
‘It’s just his excuse to slack off!’
Josh protested in his mind. Zachary had been neglecting his work since he got married. It was so unlike him.
It was not like Zachary could hear Josh’s complaints. Zachary arrived at Wiltspoon School to see students flooding into Serenity’s bookshop. Some were checking on reference books while others were picking stationery.
Considering his imposing mien, Zachary did not enter the shop in case he scared the students away. It would affect Serenity’s business.
