After exchanging some pleasantries, Josh picked up the yellow envelope and handed it to Zachary. “This is the evidence you wanted. If we didn’t dig into it, we wouldn’t have known how shocking it is. Your scumbag brother–in–law has more than one million dollars in his savings.
“His appetite is also getting bigger, so he earns more side income. I think it’ll be exciting to hand this evidence to his boss.”
In fact, there was no need to suppress Waltham Electronics. As long as they handed this evidence of Hank accepting bribes and commissions to Waltham Electronics‘ boss, Hank’s
managerial career would be over.
However, Waltham Electronics and a subsidiary of York Corporation were competitors, and Zachary wanted to take the opportunity to suppress them.
Once Waltham Electronics could not hold back any longer, York Corporation would hand over the evidence of Hank’s side income and threaten them that they could keep their company if they fired Hank and Jessica.
Waltham Electronics‘ boss would have hated Hank and Jessica to the core by then because they caused the company trouble for no reason. He would then make life difficult for the cheating pair.
That way, Zachary could suppress his opponent while dealing with Hank and Jessica, killing
two birds with one stone.
Zachary took out the evidence of Hank’s transfer of property from the envelope. After reading it carefully, he was fuming.
He heard from his grandmother that the divorce agreement Hank prepared stated that the house and the car belonged to him and that he did not have much savings. Therefore, he was only willing to give Liberty thirty thousand dollars.
Adding up all of Hank’s savings, including the money he spent on Jessica, Zachary calculated that it was roughly more than two million dollars.
If Liberty filed for divorce and divided their property, she could get at least a million dollars.
Ring ring ring…
Julian’s cell phone rang
After he answered the phone, he said apologetically, “Mr. York, I have something urgent to attend to. My apologies for not being able to host you.”
Zachary quickly stood up.
“Josh, please entertain Mr. York on my behalf.”
Julian instructed his cousin and left.
After Julian left, Josh took Zachary to his place. Zachary then listened to Josh’s mother complaining that if Josh did not get a girlfriend soon, he would be alone forever.
Finally, Zachary managed to excuse himself. When they got out of Josh’s house, Zachary said, “Next time when your mother is at home, don’t ask me to come over.”
Josh laughed. “Whatever she says just goes in one ear and out the other.”
“How was your blind date with Ms. Sox? Didn’t you mention it to your family?”
“Julian knows about it, but I didn’t tell anyone else lest they pester Ms. Sox and scare her away.”
Zachary patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. “If you like her, you just need to work harder to get out of bachelorhood.”
“After getting married, they’ll urge me to have a baby, then another baby, and endless babies! The elders will never stop.”
Josh did not believe that his parents would stop nagging him if he got married. Look, even after Zachary kept his promise to Grandma May and married Serenity, Grandma May was still harping on them to have a child.
“I like Ms. Sox. She’s straightforward and doesn’t beat around the bush. Sometimes, she leaves me speechless and I have no way to refute her.”
Those were not problems to him because Josh fancied girls like Jasmine.
“Then you should take the initiative to pursue her.”
Zachary was rather pleased that Josh liked Jasmine. At least he did not play cupid in vain.
Josh smiled and said nothing.
He then watched as Zachary left his house with a group of bodyguards.
Early next morning, Zachary arrived at Bright Boulevard.
He called Serenity in advance, and Serenity was waiting for him at the entrance of the neighborhood.
After seeing his car, Serenity walked toward him with a smile.
Zachary got out of the car and seemed to remember something. He turned around and took a bouquet of flowers out of the car.
“Seren.”
He addressed Serenity differently.
Seeing that he was holding a bouquet, Serenity was reminded of how awkward he was the first time he gave her flowers. At that time, she was so anxious.
He later gave her the bouquet and said that it did not mean anything.
Serenity was happy that he was so stubborn and arrogant because this proved that he had never been in a relationship before.
Zachary was an intelligent man who had a low EQ and was a late bloomer in the romance scene.
Serenity liked that Zachary developed feelings for her.
She had to train him to be a good husband.
“Um… I think this bouquet of flowers…”
Zachary was still not used to giving his wife flowers. He was desperately searching for a good excuse but his mind turned out blank. He could not think of any excuses. He just knew that he
had to hand over the bouquet to her.
Serenity took the bouquet, lowered her head, and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. She quickly raised her head and said with a smile, “This bouquet is beautiful and smells great. I love it!”
She was in a good mood when she received a gift from her husband so early in the morning.
Zachary struck while the iron was hot and quickly said, “If you like it, I’ll send one to you every day.”
Serenity was touched by his sweet talk. “There’s no need to give me a bouquet every day. We don’t have a vase to put these flowers at home.”
“I’ll buy you a vase.”
Serenity was elated that he had the thoughtfulness to do so, but she still rejected the idea.
Just as Zachary was about to anxiously say something, with one arm hugging the flowers, she hooked her other arm around his neck. She pulled his head lower, leaned in closer and said softly, “Don’t put too many flowers at home, or else the owner will be easily charmed.”
After she said that, she even patted Zachary’s chest–she was telling him not to be easily charmed by others.
Zachary was at a loss for words.
Was there such a saying?
He would have to ask Josh about this another day.
Serenity got into his car.
Zachary returned to his car and as he started it, he asked, “How’s Sonny?”
“The swelling hasn’t gone away completely. Last night, he had a fever and cried the whole. night. This morning, his fever finally went down but he was so tired from crying he only fell. asleep in my sister’s arms then.”
Serenity’s good mood deflated again once Sonny was mentioned.
