Chapter 606


    Zachary, on the other hand, became more addicted and fell deeper in love with


    Serenity.


    Ring ring ring…


    Zachary’s phone rang again.


    He thought it was Serenity, but then he saw the caller ID and it was Duncan.


    “Duncan.”


    Zachary leaned back on the ck swivel chair and asked indifferently, “Why are


    you calling me sote at night?”


    “There’s something important I need to tell you. Do you know that your wife has


    an aunt? It’s Mrs. Stone. It turns out that the sister Mrs. Stone has been looking


    for is your mother-inw.”


    Duncan was not as gossipy as Josh, but he loved to watch drama and gloat on


    the sidelines.


    He just felt that he should ry this news to his best friend.


    “Stone Group and York Corporation have always been at odds.


    Clive and you will never appear at the same ce together. The rtionship


    between the two of you ispletely frozen… I just thought of something.”


    Duncan muttered in hindsight, “When you treated Clive to that meal back then,


    did you already know that your wife was Mrs.


    Stone’s niece? Is that why you tried patching up your rtionship with Clive in


    advance?”


    Zachary was a little embarrassed and angry that his thoughts were read by his


    best friend. Fortunately, Duncan was thousands of miles away and did not know


    how he was feeling right now.


    “I was in a good mood that day, and Clive rarely takes his clients to Wiltspoon


    Hotel for a meal, so I bought them lunch. I just wanted them to know that our


    Wiltspoon Hotel is worthy of its name.


    That’s all.


    “I’m not a god. How could I know in advance that my mother-in-w is the sister


    who Mrs. Stone has been looking for? I only found out just now when I asked


    Serenity.”


    That was also true.


    However, he had a hunch that Mrs. Stone’s sister was his mother- inw who


    died long ago.


    That was why he generously invited Clive and his party to a meal when he met


    Clive that day.


    “What are you going to do now that you know?”


    Duncan asked with concern, “Are you going to reconcile with the Stones?”


    “Serenity and Mrs. Stone are aunt and niece. They have no influence on the


    decision-making of York Corporation. A great man cannot brook a rival. Between


    York Corporation and Stone Group, only one of us will remain standing.”


    Duncan paused before adding. “You’re a businessman through and through.


    You only talk about profit and never about feelings.”


    Zachary said faintly, “In the business world of deceit, feelings will only be used


    by the opponent. You’ll be swallowed and everything will go up in smoke.”


    That was unless the Stone Group intended to make peace with him.


    Only when both sides took a step back would it be possible to ease rtions.


    “Elisa has been infatuated with you for years. If she finds out about your


    rtionship with Serenity and with her explosive personality, will your wife be in


    trouble?”


    Duncan felt that this matter was a concern.


    “They’ve be cousins, so maybe she won’t do anything to your wife, but


    your wife will definitely feel as if she robbed her cousin’s beloved man. She’ll


    kick you away.”

    Zachary paused before saying, “Duncan Lewis, can you speak a little more


    tactfully?”


    He was overly straightforward.


    Duncanughed. “You know I’ve always been like this. I don’t like to beat


    around the bush. Do you think I can talk in circles like Josh?


    “Serenity and her sister are strong-natured. If she finds out the truth… I’m


    having a headache on your behalf just thinking about it.”


    Zachary’s expression darkened as he said, “There’s no need for that. I can


    handle it myself.”


    “That’s good. I won’t be able to help you even if you ask for my help. You can


    call me if it’s a fight, but I’m not good at dealing with matters involving emotions.


    “Zachary, you can’t deal with emotional problems either, right?


    You’re no better than I am in that regard.”


    Zachary was speechless.

    Duncan had zero tact. His words were stabbing Zachary like a knife.


    “By the way, your sister-inw was in trouble again. Her former mother-inw


    and sister-inw came to the office to find her, and they had a fight. I guess it


    won’t be easy for your sister-inw to live the quiet life she wants. Now that the


    Brown family knows that Mrs. Stone is your sister-inw’s aunt, I don’t know


    what kind of mishap they’ll be up to in the future.”


    Zachary’s voice instantly turned cold. “Serenity didn’t tell me a word about that!”


    She did not treat him as her family!
