Zachary terminated the call right away.
Despite being hung up on, Clive was not angry at all.
He smirked coldly. “You can refuse to acknowledge me as your cousin, Zachary, but I’ll get my way one way or another.”
Alice was pouring him a glass of water when she heard his comment. She said, “You’re now family. What do you mean get your way? Whatever reason he keeps his identity a secret, Zachary is Serenity’s husband.”
“I’ve been his rival for many years, and none of us ever get the upper hand. Now that I have the chance to climb over his head, I got to make use of the opportunity.”
Clive grabbed the glass and took a couple of gulps. “Zachary wound me up badly. I must get my payback when he returns from his business trip. I’ll contact Serenity to come along when he buys me dinner. I bet he’ll have to call me his cousin then.
“Honey, I’m walking on air just thinking about my nemesis bowing to me because I’m the older cousin.”
“I think you’ve gone mad.”
Alice replied amusedly, “He’s your peer. Are you going to force him to acknowledge you if he doesn’t want to?”
“I’ll give him a hard time and call him rude in front of Serenity if he doesn’t acknowledge me as the older cousin.”
Alice was speechless.
She could imagine her man having a discreet showdown with Zachary.
Zachary was a little worried at first now that Clive saw through his cover. After hanging up on Clive’s call, Zachary fell deep into contemplation and soon felt at rest.
Clive was furious because he felt sorry for his sister and not Serenity.
Before Elisa could let go of her feelings for Zachary, Zachary did not have to worry about Clive telling Serenity the truth about him.
Not only that, but Clive would also figure out ways to keep Zachary’s identity under wraps.
Zachary could flaunt his affection for Serenity before Clive too.
Once he was back from the business trip, Zachary would be on his best behavior during the dinner with Clive in case the latter might try to start something and make him look bad in front of Serenity because he was Serenity’s cousin.
