Chapter 400 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

After being coaxed by Hank, Jessica happily followed him to the jewelry store.

The couple did not notice that someone had been tailing them and recording their conversation.

A chance encounter with a scumbag and his woman would end up affecting one’s mood.

After the episode, Liberty simply acted as an escort for Audrey and the others.

She pretended to be indifferent in front of Jessica, but in fact, she still felt sick at heart when she saw her ex-husband with his mistress.

That was because she felt like she wasted her life acting as a wife devoted to running the household after marriage.

Women really had to be kinder to themselves. Take her for example. She was distressed by how hard Hank worked to earn money, so she only ever bought household necessities. She almost never bought new clothes or skin care products for herself. Even when she went shopping, she mostly bought stuff for Hank and Sonny.

She was so concerned about Hank, but he lavished all his money on Jessica instead.

There was a saying that went “if you can’t bear to spend the money earned by your man, someone else will spend it for you.”

There was the issue of her figure too.

Now when Liberty saw the flesh on her body, she regretted it deeply.

How did she allow herself to end up so fat?

Maybe it was the comfortable life after marriage that made her lose her sense of crisis. She thought marriage would be stable after having a child.

In the past, her sister told her to take care of her skin and beauty, wear pretty clothes, and apply make-up, but she always said, “I’m already married with a son. Why do I need to dress up? I won’t waste money on those products. It isn’t easy for your brother-in-law to earn money, and I don’t have an income, so all the burdens are on your brother-in-law. He has a lot of weight on his shoulders, so I’ll save as much as I can for him.”

She now had to lose weight successfully and regain her confidence!

In the evening, the ladies returned to the Stone residence.

As soon as they sat down, the housekeeper came over with a small bag.

“Madam, someone sent Ms. Serena a small bag of something. I don’t know what it is, but I was told to pass it to Ms. Serena.”

She handed the small bag to Audrey.

“Since it’s for Seren, just give it to her.”

Audrey motioned for the housekeeper to hand over the small bag to Serena.

“Who sent it? What is it?”

Serena took the bag suspiciously, opened it up, and found that it was wrapped in a smaller black bag. When she opened that up as well, she saw two pens and a small note.

Serena first took out the small note.

The note read: These two are recorder pens. Listen to the recordings when no one is around. Josh Bucham.

It was sent to her by Josh.

Recorder pen?

What was on the recorder pens that could not be heard by other people?

Serena’s curiosity was killing her.

Josh told her to listen to the recording alone, so she could only wait until she returned to her room after dinner.

“What is that, Seren? Who sent it to you?” Audrey asked with concern.

Serena put the note back into the bag and said, “It’s a pen I want to use. Mrs. Lane had someone send it over to me.”

Audrey hummed and did not ask more.

Curiosity piqued, Serena finished eating dinner and followed her sister upstairs, saying she was going to help her sister bathe Sonny.

The sisters’ rooms were next to each other.

Audrey made the arrangement so the two sisters could rely on each other even in an unfamiliar environment.

Serena went back to her room, closed the door behind her, then hurriedly opened the small black bag and retrieved the two recorder pens from inside.

She sat down in front of the sofa and listened to the recording.

When she heard Jessica’s and Hank’s voices, she understood that it was a conversation they had after their chance encounter this afternoon.

Josh was truly amazing to be able to record what they said.

If Josh were here, he would say, “Thank you for the compliment!”

Truth be told, Josh was simply nosey. The person he had sent to collect evidence of Hank’s affair was still following Hank because he had not sent the memo to stop the tailing.

That was why the person still recorded the conversation.

“I’ll find a woman with the face of an angel and the body of a devil to seduce Zack…”

Serena listened to what Jessica said to Hank and sneered. “If Zack can be seduced by another woman, then his name won’t be Zack.”

That man was steady.

After she got drunk, he was able to hold back from touching her when he helped her change her clothes.

It was evident that he was not the kind of man who was impulsive.

He was not someone for scum like Hank could compare to.

Serena took out her phone, opened up WhatsApp, then replayed the contents of the recorder and sent them as voice messages to Zack.

Zack soon called her.

Serena declined the call and made a video call to him instead.

She missed him and wanted to see him.

She also wanted to see if his complexion was better. Had he seen a doctor and taken medicine?

Serena found her concern for him was growing by the day.

At first, she was elated to know that he was going on a business trip.

Just a few days later, she felt the pain of longing. She wanted to fly over and stay with him.

Zack hesitated for a long time before answering the video call.

As soon as the call connected, he lowered the phone and put it on speaker so that Serena could only see his chest.

“I can’t see you, Zack. Raise the phone. Are you doing this on purpose so I can’t see you?”

Zack endured his discomfort and said in a low tone, “I’m working now. What is it? I’m listening.”

“It’s so late now, but you’re still working? Have you eaten dinner? Also, why are you still working when you have a cold? How much money does your boss give you? Why do you have to work so hard? Nothing is more important than your health.”

Serena could not help but scold him when she heard what he had to say.

Zack forced a laugh and said, “Is my wife taking control of me now? I don’t have an appetite and don’t want to eat. I’m working so hard now because I want to finish work early and go back to you.”

“Even if you want to come back soon, you have to take care of your health. Are you staying at a hotel now? If you don’t have an appetite, then just eat something light.

“Pick up your phone, Zack. I want to see you.”

Zack did not move.

Serena got angry. “Zack York, I’ll give you till the count of three. If you don’t let me see you, I won’t talk to you for the rest of the year. I won’t answer your calls or reply to your texts either. One…”

As soon as she started counting, Zack’s face appeared on the screen.

He looked miserable. His usually cold and indifferent face was flushed an abnormal red. Serena was startled and asked, “Didn’t you go see a doctor? You must be running a high fever now. Are you trying to worry me to death?!”

Zack propped his head up with his hand and forced himself to say, “I took a cold medicine I bought from the drugstore, but it’s not very effective… Maybe it’s treating the wrong symptoms.”

“Are you still in the office?”

“I’m not in the office. I’m in the apartment. The company has a few apartments for people from the headquarters to stay in when they travel over.”

The apartment he was staying in had a study, and he was currently at his desk in said study. He thought his cold would soon clear up after taking the medicine.

Unexpectedly, his temperature continued to rise after a few hours.

He was feeling more uncomfortable as well.
