Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2858

“Julian is undoubtedly a businessman, but he’s not a simple businessman. He surely has things hidden from us, things he hasn’t told us.”

“Everyone has their secrets; it’s impossible to tell everything to others,” Quinn spoke on behalf of Julian.

However, Zoey said, “Think about when you first met him. Didn’t he pretend not to know martial arts? You helped him once, and he kept calling you his lifesaver, insisting on repaying the favor, and then treating you so well.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve watched too many TV shows, but I always feel like Julian has been orchestrating things from the beginning. Making you his lifesaver so he can approach you openly, treat you well, and you wouldn’t suspect anything.

“Who knows, the biker gang you encountered the night you saved him from might have been arranged by him. Nowadays, public security is good, and it’s rare to see biker gangs, let alone a large group of them. Could the police in Wiltspoon let them out at night?”

Quinn replied, “Mom… You’ve watched too many shows, you’re thinking too much. What do I have that’s worth Julian orchestrating all these? Our family isn’t wealthy or noble. I work at our family’s gym. My assets can’t even match Julian’s daily income. Why would he pull all these stops for me?

“Moreover, on the night I helped him, it was indeed the first time I met him. We didn’t know each other. Why would he randomly plan that with me in mind? He’s a businessman. His business is quite significant. It’s possible he has made enemies and could face retaliation. Someone could block his car to harm him. It’s not impossible.”

Quinn did not think she had anything worth Julian’s time and effort.

If she had a net worth of several billion, it might make sense for Julian to plot against her.

Her monthly salary was only a few thousand dollars and the family’s wealth belonged to her parents, not her. She considered herself powerless and penniless; who would bother plotting against her?

Her mother thought too much.

Zoey reached out and poked her daughter’s head, somewhat sternly saying, “You think too highly of people. You’ve just stepped into society, you’re still so naïve, so easily believing in others. Julian, an unmarried middle-aged man, what do you think he wants from you? What does he want to scheme against you?

“He’s interested in you, wants to make you his woman. You don’t even have such thoughts. No wonder you’ve been stood up on numerous blind dates. Luckily, Julian took an interest in you. Otherwise, you would have had to rely on your two brothers for a lifetime.”
