Josh laughed. “Boss, this show is getting more exciting!”
Zachary concealed his identity, which led to many troubles. John thought of using Zachary to deal with Serenity, which was pretty amusing.
If the money–hungry Hunts found out that Serenity’s husband was the heir of the York family, would they be frightened? What would they look like when they find out that they tried to use Zachary to deal with Serenity? Josh, who was relishing the drama, was reluctant to let the show end so soon. However, he hoped that Zachary would reveal his identity soon and scare those money–hungry people away.
“John can still jump around? Josh, you didn’t solve the issue effectively this time.”
Zachary said he wanted the Hunts to be poorer than beggars.
Josh replied with a smile, “There won’t be a good show if you crush them with a single blow.”
Zachary was speechless.
“You must be patient dealing with these people. Take it slow and let them lose everything they have bit by bit. It’ll be tormenting for them to try their best to fix their situation, yet they can only watch as they lose everything.” Josh admitted he dropped the ball this time because he was in no hurry to crush the Hunts in one blow.
“But don’t worry, boss! You’ll definitely be satisfied with the results.
“John Hunt was fired by his company. The trending story was very popular back then, so John has a bad reputation in the industry. It’ll be very difficult for him to find a good job.”
Zachary’s expression eased after he heard that John had completely lost his job. “You gotta thank Ms. Stone for this. Ms. Stone asked her brother to fire John. I have to say, Ms. Stone is especially nice to your wife.”
Zachary snorted coldly. Serenity did not know what was going on, so she supported
Elisa in pursuing Zachary. That was why Elisa was nice to her.
If Serenity knew, she would have asked Zachary, “Are you the ‘Mr. York’ who Ms. Stone is wooing?”
Zachary would not have known how to answer that.
If Elisa could still treat Serenity well and protect Serenity after she found out that Zachary was Serenity’s husband, then Zachary would believe that Elisa truly regarded Serenity as a friend. Zachary took out the gold ring again and put it back on the ring finger of his left hand.
When he went to Serenity’s store, he took off the gold ring.
“By the way, John wants to join York Corporation, so he contacted our HR and said that he has worked in Aron PCB for many years, making his way up from the bottom. He not only has a lot of work experience, but he also knows some of Stone Group’s insider news.”
John was just shy of saying that he could help York Corporation go against Stone Group. Zachary said coldly, “Life will be lonely without opponents. It’s not that I can’t defeat Clive, I just don’t want to make my life boring and lonely. John is just an executive of Stone Group’s subsidiary, so how could he help me defeat Stone Group?”
“He’s quite boastful.”
Josh smiled and added, “There are so many people who are full of themselves these days. Let’s just treat him like a clown.”
“Give them another blow.”
Josh replied, “That’s easy. But if you push too hard and they become broke, they will pester your wife and sister–in–law for money. Don’t forget that their grandmother is still receiving treatment at the hospital.
“When that time comes, they’ll have nothing to lose, so they can do anything.”
“Then do as you see fit.”
Zachary was aware too that these people were hard to get rid of.
For the time being, the Hunts still had money to pay for Old Mrs. Hunt’s medical expenses. If they were to become beggars all at once, they would full–on pester Serenity and Liberty for money as Josh had mentioned.
They should wait until Old Mrs. Hunt was discharged from the hospital and went back to her hometown before completely cutting off the Hunts’ income.
Zachary’s eyes were cold. Back then, the Hunts relied on Serenity’s parents’ insurance payout to get rich.
Now, Zachary would make the Hunts spit it back out little by little.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get it done properly,” Josh assured with a smile. “You can count on me!”
Zachary hung up the phone.
He knew he could count on Josh, but Josh liked drama, which made Zachary feel helpless.
Was it that great to watch Zachary’s drama? Grandma May, Josh, and the York brothers were all watching this drama unfold.
In a cafe, Jasmine picked a secluded corner and sat down.
Shawn sat opposite her.
“Shawn, what do you want to drink?”
“Whatever. I’ll have whatever you have.”
Jasmine said to the waiter, “Two cups of black coffee, please.”
“Jas, black coffee is bitter.”‘
Jasmine glanced at him. Shawn then said sheepishly, “Fine
After the two cups of coffee were served, Jasmine asked bluntly, “Shawn, I have a question for you. Are you in love with Serenity?”
Shawn was stunned.
He stared blankly at Jasmine.
“Jas…”
“Tell me the truth!”
Jasmine ordered.
Shawn’s face slowly flushed red.
Did he show it?
“Jas, I… I like Serenity.”
“When did it start?”
Shawn said in a low voice, “I don’t know when it started. It might have been when I first learned about love when I was 14 years old, or maybe 17.”
Jasmine said in a gloomy face, “You’ve had a crush on Serenity for so long.”
Shawn hid it long enough.
Jasmine and Serenity were not even aware of that and had treated Shawn as a younger brother. In fact, Shawn was three years younger than the two of them. He was like a younger brother to them.
Shawn blushed.
“Shawn, just give up. Serenity won’t like you back. She has always treated you as a younger brother. It was fine when she was single, but now she’s married…”
“Jas, didn’t you say that Serenity and her husband married for convenience? They’ll get divorced after six months.”
Jasmine said with a cold face, “You don’t need to bother why they got married. The point is, Serenity is married.
She’s someone else’s wife. Do you want to become a homewrecker?”
Shawn said resentfully, “I met Serenity first.”
“Love isn’t first come first served. Did you know? The last time Serenity treated you to lunch, her husband saw her putting some food on your plate because your favorite dish was placed in front of her. That caused a misunderstanding and a fight between them.”
Shawn said, “That just shows how petty her husband is. He doesn’t trust her, and couples who don’t respect each other won’t have a lasting relationship. They’ll get divorced sooner or later.”
“Whether or not they get a divorce isn’t important. What matters is that Serenity is married now, so you shouldn’t get close to her anymore. Don’t go to our store again unless the sky is falling. If you need to find me, just call me or go to my house.
“It’s better for both you and Serenity if you stay far away from her.”
