Chapter 562 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Refusing to be the third wheel, Elisa planned to take cover in the kitchen.

Prior to leaving, she leaned against Serena’s ear and whispered, “Zack really loves you. Stop putting up a front and cherish him. You’ll become the happiest woman in Wiltspoon.”

Since Zack quit being awkward around her and acknowledged her as a cousin-in- law, Elisa was glad to put in a good word for him.

Elisa soon turned on her heel and offered her help in the kitchen. Though, an heiress like her could not be of much help. She took up some space in the kitchen while watching Jasmine and Mrs. Lane make dinner.

Once Elisa was gone, Zack nervously asked Serena, “What did she say to you? Is it something bad about me?”

Serena moved a chair over for him to sit down. She went behind the cash register to move her crafting tools aside, clearing the countertop.

“Elisa said that you’re a brilliant man. She told me to cherish you. Apparently, I’ll regret it if I pass up on you. Don’t always assume the worst of Elisa. Honestly, she never said a bad thing about you to me.”

Before the couple kissed and made up, Elisa had been advocating for Zack.

The way Elisa put it, Zack must be an outstanding man since someone of high standards like her ogled over Zack for years. Serena could trust him for the rest of her life.

As for Zack’s actions of withholding his identity, Elisa told Serena to stay mad but only for a couple of days as Serena would regret it someday for taking things too far.

Elisa found it a shame that she could not become the love of Zack’s life. However, she was comfortable with Zack being her cousin-in-law and wished Serena nothing but happiness.

Judging by the shimmer in his dark eyes, Zack was taken by surprise.

He thought Elisa would take the chance to discredit him in front of Serena.

Poor Elisa. Zack totally had her misjudged.

“Is the car outside with the flat tires John’s?”

“Yes.”

Pulling out his phone, Zack said, “I’ll call the traffic police to tow the car. It’s parked there, obstructing traffic.”

“He secretly came by twice to check on the car. I guess he’s waiting until I’m not around to get the tow truck to come around.” There was sarcasm in Serena’s tone.” He’s acting like a thief.”

“That reminds me. I need to tell you that your cousin has made an appointment for surgery with a plastic surgeon. What looks do you think she should go by?”

Serena wickedly uttered, “She wants to resemble me and take my place. Since she likes being someone else, she can go under the knife and look like my oldest cousin. She’s Mike’s sister, and she’s married.”

She wanted to see how her relatives would react when Harriet had all the hallmarks of Mike’s sister. What would her oldest cousin and her husband do when they found out? It would turn the Hunt family upside down.

“What is your oldest cousin’s name? I can let Josh know, so he can look into it. We can get the Harriet girl to look like Mike’s sister if we get a picture of her face.”

With Serena revealing her oldest cousin’s name to Zack, Zack immediately texted Josh. [Get that Harriet girl to look like this woman.]

Josh replied with a voice note. “Zack, did you leave work early again?”

Zack spoke in a matter-of-factly manner, “Yes, I left work early. Do you have a problem with that? I thought you all would be happy about it.”

Josh was speechless.

Everybody celebrated when Zack was not in the office, but not Josh. He wanted to get off work early to spend time with Jasmine too.

Of course, Josh was happy for Zack that he managed to make peace with his wife. The storm was finally over.

“Are you free two days later?” Serena asked Zack.

“What’s the matter?”

Zack stared intently at Serena. “Tell me if you need anything at all. I’m always free for you.”

“You don’t have work during the weekend. Come with me to my hometown. I’m going to get bricks and gravel, one truck each, delivered to my parents’ house. The trucks will be unloaded in front of my parents’ home to put the word out that my sister and I are coming back to renovate the house.”

Before Zack could say anything, Serena added. “Nana said that my granddad and relatives have been stalking them. These people have no shame and know no bounds. They think we’re no threat to them now that they lost their businesses and jobs.

“Well, we’ll start with my parents’ home then. My sister and I talked it through, and we planned to take back our house after the new year. With the word out, I can guarantee that my granddad and the others will rush back.

“They can’t get anything out of me. They probably won’t let go of the house left behind by my parents. At least by us doing so, they will head back to our hometown. It’s time to take this to the court since we’re way past reconciliation.”

The Hunts had crossed the line far too many times. Serena had been figuring out a way to divert their attention elsewhere, and her parents’ home came to mind. She decided to start with the house. It was high time she took the legal route anyway.

Zack’s dark eyes glistened as he believed Serena’s plan would work. It would also solve the issue with the house too.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to your hometown on the weekend. It’s been a while since you visited your parents’ grave. I can pay your parents’ a visit with you and your sister this year too.”

The Hunts had moved the graves of Zack’s parents-in-law elsewhere, and Serena and her sister had no idea of the location. The Hunt family’s intention was to stop the sisters from visiting the graves while pushing John to pay respects to Serena’s parents as their son. John could then inherit the property from Serena’s parents.

The mention of her parents put Serena in low spirits.

Holding her hands, Zack soothed Serena, “Your parents in heaven will be happy to see you and your sister doing well in life.”

“I’ll take back everything that belongs to my parents!”

“You got me. Go and get them. I will hire the best lawyers to fight the case. We won’t let them win!”

Serena gave a firm nod.

“Ahem.”

Clearing her throat, Elisa interrupted the couple.

Elisa drew close as the couple watched on.

“Seren, my mom called and told you to come home with me. We can start getting ourselves ready for the event.”

She then turned to Zack. “Seren made you an early dinner. The food is ready now. Do you want to have it here, or have it to go?”

Zack looked at Serena.

He hoped Serena could stay with him.

“Have dinner before you leave. I’ll sit with you.”

Serena knew her man well. His appetite was better when she stuck around.

She personally cooked him three meals a day to nurse him back to health.

“We usually won’t eat much during the event, so we should have a little something before we go too.” Having found herself an excuse, Elisa set the table up and grabbed a cloth to wipe the table. “You’re going to your hometown on the weekend, Seren. Do you mind if my mom and I tag along?

“I want to see where Aunt Lisa used to live. I bet my mom would love to see that too.

She has been wanting to check out your hometown and meet Aunt Lisa’s adoptive parents.”

After her passing, Aunt Lisa’s adoptive parents took away a chunk of the insurance money and stopped any contact with Serena and Liberty. It was clear that they were cutting ties with Serena and Liberty. However, it did not change the fact that they raised Aunt Lisa.
