Chapter 606
Zachary, on the other hand, became more addicted and fell deeper in love with
Serenity.
Ring ring ring…
Zachary’s phone rang again.
He thought it was Serenity, but then he saw the caller ID and it was Duncan.
“Duncan.”
Zachary leaned back on the black swivel chair and asked indifferently, “Why are
you calling me so late at night?”
“There’s something important I need to tell you. Do you know that your wife has
an aunt? It’s Mrs. Stone. It turns out that the sister Mrs. Stone has been looking
for is your mother-in-law.”
Duncan was not as gossipy as Josh, but he loved to watch drama and gloat on
the sidelines.
He just felt that he should relay this news to his best friend.
“Stone Group and York Corporation have always been at odds.
Clive and you will never appear at the same place together. The relationship
between the two of you is completely frozen… I just thought of something.”
Duncan muttered in hindsight, “When you treated Clive to that meal back then,
did you already know that your wife was Mrs.
Stone’s niece? Is that why you tried patching up your relationship with Clive in
advance?”
Zachary was a little embarrassed and angry that his thoughts were read by his
best friend. Fortunately, Duncan was thousands of miles away and did not know
how he was feeling right now.
“I was in a good mood that day, and Clive rarely takes his clients to Wiltspoon
Hotel for a meal, so I bought them lunch. I just wanted them to know that our
Wiltspoon Hotel is worthy of its name.
That’s all.
“I’m not a god. How could I know in advance that my mother-in- law is the sister
who Mrs. Stone has been looking for? I only found out just now when I asked
Serenity.”
That was also true.
However, he had a hunch that Mrs. Stone’s sister was his mother- in-law who
died long ago.
That was why he generously invited Clive and his party to a meal when he met
Clive that day.
“What are you going to do now that you know?”
Duncan asked with concern, “Are you going to reconcile with the Stones?”
