“What did you say to him?”
“What can I say? I can’t tell him bluntly that his successor is trying to steal your woman from you. This was caused by your personal matters, so you deal with it yourself. I’ll ask Mr. Chaplin to squeeze in a time for you to meet with Mr. Lowe.”
Zachary said indifferently, “Save it for after the New Year’s. I’m going on a business trip in two days.”
Josh froze, suspecting he had misheard. “You’re going on a business trip? Where to? Can you bear to leave your wife? Your relationship happens to be improving now.”
Zachary was silent for a long time before saying, “There’s no harm in telling you this. The whole city will know sooner.”
There was finally gossip to share.
As the representative of all gossipers, Josh’s ears immediately perked up. He grinned and asked, “What happened?”
“The sister who Mrs. Stone has been looking for is most likely my mother-in-law.”
Josh paused before saying, “You have a mother-in-law? I mean, didn’t your mother-in-law die a long time ago?”
“Yeah, my mother-in-law died more than ten years ago, but what’s stopping her from having a sister?”
Josh choked.
Everyone in Wiltspoon’s upper class was aware of Audrey’s search for her sister.
Clive once came to Julian for help, but Julian felt like there were not many leads. Furthermore, he was in York Corporation working for Zachary, and Clive was Zachary’s rival. Thus, Julian refused Clive’s request.
“If your mother-in-law is Mrs. Stone’s sister, doesn’t that make your wife Mrs. Stone’s niece? Then, you’ll be Mrs. Stone’s nephew-in-law, and Elisa still loves you to death...”
After Josh worked it out, he slapped his thigh and burst out into laughter. “Hahahaha! Zachary, I want to see how you clean up this mess.”
Zachary extended his hand to grab anything within reach and threw them at Josh.
“Get out!”
“I’ll go out after I’m done laughing. Zachary, just come clean with your wife when you go back tonight.”
