On the other end of the line, Clive curtly said, “I’ll reveal to Serenity who you are if I don’t see you there. She might not be angry about the other things you hide from her, but the fact that you’re the great Mr. York will rub her the wrong way because of Elisa.”
Black in the face, Zachary snapped back, “I said I’ll be there. Just wait for me.”
The nerve of Clive to threaten him!
“I’m the older cousin. Shouldn’t you be the one to wait for me?”
Zachary coldly uttered, “The Grand Hotel belongs to you. You can be there any time. If you change the location to the Wiltspoon Hotel, I’ll arrive early and welcome you in the presidential suite.”
“Is something riding on your guilty conscience? Are you scared? Is that why you’re making me wait for you?”
“Clive, cut the crap.”
Clive chuckled. “I’m older than you. You can’t change the fact that Serenity is my cousin. You don’t have to acknowledge me as the older figure if you don’t want to be Serenity’s husband. It’s rude that you don’t respect me as an older family member when you’re her husband.
“I might just pick on you in front of Serenity.”
“Don’t you dare!”
Clive laughed hard. “Why won’t I? Do you think I like and fear you? I’m dying to have you replaced and introduce a better man to my cousin.”
“Out of everyone in Wiltspoon, no one is better and more brilliant than I am.”
Zachary believed when Clive said he would get him replaced.
Nobody expected to end up in this sort of sticky situation.
“Zachary, when did you become so shameless? You may have Wiltspoon’s business world in the palm of your hand, but that doesn’t mean you’re the best man out there.”
Zachary faintly answered, “Men become shameless when they get married.”
Clive was at a loss for words.
The changes in Zachary were a real eye-opener to Clive.
“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else. I need to put my wife in bed before I can sneak out to see you.”
