Chapter 688
To think Zachary owned a villa there and it was on the hilltop with the best view too
Stuffing her phone back into her pocket, Serenity turned around and walked to the sofa for a seat. She did not break gaze with Zachary.
Zachary was looking at her. He wondered if she was angry or pleasantly surprised.
Serenity appeared surprised, but not the good kind.
“Seren, w–we rushed to get married, so I…”
Zachary drew close and sat next to her. The moment he took a seat, Serenity scooted to the side, pulling a distance between them. She told him off, “Stay right there. Don’t come too close to me.”
Tensing her facial lines, Serenity uttered furiously, “I know why you kept it from me. Do you think I’ll go after your money when I find out you own a villa?
“How much do you make annually as a senior executive in York Corporation? I bet it’s a few million dollars. You’re always busy at work, either working overtime or going to business parties. Do you claim the spending and hours from the company? You didn’t have a girlfriend or a wife. You said that your family is doing well financially, so you don’t need to hand out an allowance to your parents.
“You must have saved a lot of money to buy a villa that costs more than ten million.
“I know you’ve been holding out on me since the day we got married. You think I’m a conniving woman, out to get your money.”
While speaking, Serenity picked up the cushion on the sofa and smacked Zachary with it. “Zachary, for you to hide a villa from me, you weren’t 100% honest with me. I can’t believe you took it out on me the other night for keeping things from you and not treating you like family.
“That’s some double standard you have there.”
Zachary let her whack him with the cushion. It did not hurt anyway.
He chose to tell Serenity about the villa, but he had more than one property. Zachary brought up one to see how Serenity would react when she found out that he had something to hide from her.
She was mad.
