Chapter 1014
It had long come to Mr. Newman’s attention that Zachary was aloof and not the easiest to get on with.
It was too early for Mr. Newman to say if he could get along with Zachary. Nevertheless, it was true that Zachary was an indifferent man. Mr. Newman had been around the business world for many years, and during his management of Newman Enterprise for more than a decade had turned a small business into a billion–dollar corporation.
Although the Newmans thrived in foreign business, Mr. Newman had influence and connections in Wiltspoon too.
“Mr. Zachary, I’m here to apologize on behalf of my daughter and wife,” Mr. Newman explained with a smile.
Zachary callously replied, “I’ve never met your wife and daughter.”
“Here’s the thing, Mr. Zachary. My wife and daughter got into a bit of a misunderstanding and conflict with your wife. I have given them a telling–off, but since my wife has to take care of my sick daughter, I’m here on behalf of them to apologize to your wife.
“I didn’t want to intrude on your wife without your permission, so I came here to consult with you. Can I make a personal apology to your wife? I’m sorry. My deepest apologies.”
Zachary was very protective of Serenity. The media would not be so bold as to pester Serenity to this day. The occasional pictures of Serenity were taken in secret. Even so, no one would post the photos on the web without Zachary knowing about it..
Callum was confused by the conversation. Why did Zack call him here when Mr. Newman stepped on Serenity’s toes?
“No need for a personal apology. Just watch your wife and daughter. My wife took a liking to Ms. Camryn and is looking to be friends with her.”
Enough was said–Serenity butted into the Newmans‘ business to take Camryn’s side and Nana thought Camryn would be perfect for Callum.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Newman and Carrie would not take Serenity’s words to heart as Serenity did not carry any influence yet. In fact, it gave Mrs. Newman and Carrie ammo to pick on Camryn.
Zachary was sending a clear message to Mr. Newman that Camryn was off–limits.
It might put Camryn in a better situation.
By now, Callum had an idea of what was going on.
So, Mr. Newman was Camryn’s stepfather and uncle.
