Chapter 628
Josh had no words.
He commented, “What’s up with you two? You were getting along just fine and giving us front-row seats to your public display of affection, but now another fight broke out. No wonder Serenity went to a bar. It was all because of you.”
Zachary replied, “Look into where they are right now and how long they’ve been there. Are they drunk? Give me a reply if you hear anything back.”
“Alright. I’ll get right to it.”
Josh swiftly hung up the call and dove into investigating the girls’ whereabouts.
While waiting for an answer, Zachary contacted his private plane crew and instructed them, “Prepare to fly back. I want to return to Wiltspoon in a few minutes.”
He did not want Serenity to drop him off at the airport when he needed to go away for business. One reason was he had to return to the office, and the second was he did not have a plane ticket ready. Zachary took a private plane abroad.
Following Zachary’s last-minute notice, the crew started flight preparations.
After taking care of his arrangements, Zachary started to call Serenity.
Serenity, Jasmine, and her younger brother, Drake, were having a blast at the bar.
Since Drake could not drink, he sat in a corner and watched the two ladies take one drink after another.
Serenity, in particular, was just downing drinks.
He had to say something, “Serenity, don’t drink too much. You’re looking rather red in the face. I don’t think you can handle that much liquor. You’re going to get wasted.”
Serenity answered with a smile, “Alcohol is the answer to all your problems. I want to get drunk for a change and forget about Zachary!”
Drake looked at his sister.
Patting her brother on the shoulder, Jasmine said, “Serenity’s feeling down. I’m under orders to drink with. her tonight. Just watch us. Don’t try to talk her out of it. Let her drink her problems away. Tomorrow, she’ll wake up with a horrible headache, sores, and an awful feeling in the gut. That’s her problem for drowning. her sorrows.”

Drake was speechless.
