Liberty gave her sister a look. “Are you saying his clothes ran outside by themselves? They’re still damp.. They must’ve been washed last night or this morning.”
Serena muttered, “Did he really come back last night?”
“What was that?”
“Nothing. Look, don’t you think the flowers I have are pretty? You enjoy the little balcony garden while I finish eating.”
When Serena returned to the dining room with the bowl and sat down, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and sent a message to Jasmine.
[Jasmine, when did I get drunk last night? Did your brother and you take me home after I got drunk?
[Why did I have a dream last night about Zack coming home? It’s not like I miss him.
[He has clothes drying on my balcony, and his clothes are still damp… Could it be that I wasn’t dreaming? Was he actually back?
[Text me instead of calling since my sister is here. I don’t want her to worry that I’m fighting with Zack.]
After Liberty divorced, what she feared most was that her sister would be affected and unhappy in her marriage as well.
Thus, Liberty was concerned about the relationship between her sister and brother-in-law.
Jasmine replied quickly.
[You drank a lot before you got drunk. It was my first time seeing you break your record. Your husband did come back. I helped you out of the bar after you got drunk last night.
[Then, I met Mr. York in front of the bar. He grabbed you before I could react.
[He was also the one who took you home. You weren’t dreaming. You really did feel his presence. He came back. I thought you wouldn’t remember what happened with how drunk. you were.]
Serena was speechless.
She thought for a moment and asked her friend.
[Zack really came home? I don’t remember what happened. I thought I was dreaming. He said a lot of things to me too. He nagged like an old man.]
Jasmine was too lazy to type and sent a voice message instead.
“Did you just wake up? Is Mr. York around? Oh, right, I asked Josh last night and he said that Mr. York had to rush back to the city today to continue his business trip. Josh mentioned that those matters had to bet taken care of by Mr. York so he had to handle them before he could return.
“Seren, he was so worried when he found out you went to the bar to get drunk that he dropped everything. and came rushing back. It’s clear that he still cares about you.”
Serena turned down the volume a little before listening to the voice message from her best friend.
It turned out that Zack came back indeed.
However, he left before she woke up.
He was so busy, yet he hurried back because she went to the bar to get wasted.
Serena did not know whether to be touched or continue being willful.
How did Zack know that she went drinking at the bar?
Although they met Josh at the bar and it was possible that he told Zack, Zack was far away. He could not have arrived right as she left the bar.
He must have made his way back earlier because he received the news in advance.
“Didn’t you follow when Zack brought me home?” Serena asked.
Jasmine responded, “Mr. York went to pick you up himself and called a car. That substitute driver from your neighborhood, Jim, drove.”
Serena recalled when she was showering. The clothes she was wearing this morning were not the same set she wore yesterday, which meant her clothes were changed after she got home.
Mrs. Lane was not around while Grandma May went back to her house, and Jasmine did not follow her back. In other words, it was Zack who helped her change.
She was completely out cold last night… Did Zack do anything when he stripped her?
Ring ring ring…
Serena’s cell phone rang. It was a call from Elisa.
She stopped talking to Jasmine and quickly answered the call.
“Serena, where do you live?”
“Brynfield.”
“Okay, I’m going over now. I’m in front of your store, but you’re not open today.”
Serena said, “Sure, I’ll send you the location. My sister and I are ready to leave.”
Elisa hummed.
After Serena sent the location, Elisa opened the navigation app on her phone and headed for Brynfield. She had always been a fast driver. When she was about to merge into traffic on the expressway at an intersection, she almost crashed into a Maybach. Both the Maybach and her car were urgently halted. Elisa wound down her window and the other driver did the same.
She instructed the driver of the other car to back up a little to make way for her to pull up before they discussed the incident.
The driver did not immediately do as Elisa gestured. Instead, he turned his head to look at the person sitting in the back seat.
“What’s wrong?” Remy asked in a low voice.
“The car in front wants us to back up.”
Remy slightly tugged the car curtain aside to take a look. He then closed the curtain and said to the driver, “That’s the young lady of the Stone family. She’s a rude and unreasonable woman. Back up a little and let her go.”
Remy managed the FC & Co. subsidiary in Wiltspoon and often dealt with the bigwigs of Wiltspoon’s business community. However, he did not have any business dealings with Stone Group.
FC & Co. shared no dealings with Stone Group because of their existing partnerships with York. Corporation. Moreover, Stone Group and York Corporation are business rivals.
Nevertheless, Remy still recognized the important figures from Stone Group..
The current head of the Stone family was Clive Stone, who spoiled his wife like a maniac. It was fine not to know who Clive was, but one had to know who his wife, Alice, was, so as not to accidentally offend the woman and incur Clive’s wrath.
Audrey’s appearance should also be kept in mind. Although she had never been the head of Stone Group, she climbed all the way up from a small clerk in the company to her current position. Even her husband’s capabilities were inferior to hers.
During the reign of the last CEO of Stone Group, many affairs were solved thanks to Audrey.
All the more reason Audrey could not be offended.
Finally, there was Elisa Stone. This darling daughter who was doted on by everyone around her had a bad temper. If someone annoyed her, she would rip into that person regardless of their status.
Remy was cold and shrewd when it came to business, but warm and gentle in everyday life. He had a good temperament. Since he knew that Elisa had an explosive temper, he did not want to bicker with her over something trivial.
What was the harm in compromising a little?
Elisa was a girl, so Remy thought, “Ladies first.”
“Yes, sir.”
The driver started to reverse the car and the security entourage behind them followed suit.
When Elisa saw the other party giving way to her, she thanked Remy’s driver before quickly driving away.
She blended into the traffic flow but met a red light and had to stop about two hundred meters away.
