Chapter 1015
Keeping to himself, Zachary simply stared icily at Mr. Newman while Mr. Newman was on pins and needles.
“So, your purpose here is to apologize, am I right, Mr. Newman?” Unable to count on Zack to say something, Callum broke the silence in the office.
Mr. Newman nodded his head.
“Serenity is a forgiving person. She usually doesn’t sweat the small stuff, but friendship is important to her.”
Carrying a smile, Mr. Newman replied, “Mrs. York got a heart for sure. I’ve heard of it.”
“It’s good that you know that. You can leave if there’s nothing else, Mr. Newman.”
Quit the act already.
The Yorks and the Newmans had no business connections with one another.
Mr. Newman had been wanting to leave the moment he came in. However, he was not in a position to take leave. God knew how nervous Mr. Newman was when Zachary locked eyes with him.
He was a lot older than Zachary and probably could be Zachary’s father. Mr. Newman had been through the toughest years of his life, but he felt small in Zachary’s presence.
With Callum showing him the door, Mr. Newman excused himself.
The York boys did not get up to see Mr. Newman off. Callum merely told Mr. Chaplin to walk with Mr. Newman to the door.
Once Mr. Newman was gone, Callum asked, “How did Serenity get involved with Camryn and into a fight with Mrs. Newman?”
“It happened last night.”
Zachary recounted the whole incident to Callum and added, “Serenity must have seen Camryn’s photo and knew that she’s your future wife. That would explain her involvement in the matter.” After a pause, Zachary said, “But Seren’s the type to stand up against injustice anyway. She would stop the drugging even if she didn’t know who Camryn was.”
Serenity could not step aside and remain uninvolved in such situations.
Callum was speechless. “I’ve never met Camryn in person, Zack. She’s not my wife!”
Zachary stared at him without a word.
