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?”
“Serenity and Mrs. Stone are aunt and niece. They have no influence on the decision-making of York Corporation. A great man cannot brook a rival. Between York Corporation and Stone Group, only one of us will remain standing.”
