Plopping herself in Zachary’s arms, Serenity yawned and said, “I forgot to talk to you about one thing.”
“What’s that?”
Zachary took anything that came out of his wife’s mouth seriously—no matter how trivial.
“My money-hungry relatives are planning the old switcheroo. They want my cousin to go under the knife to look like me and replace me as Mrs. York.”
Zachary glowered.
“My cousin is as old as I am. Our dads look a little alike. Plus, we both take after our dads. I guess you can say that we kinda resemble each other. At least, that was what people used to say when we were little.
“I haven’t seen her for more than a decade after my parents’ passing. I don’t know what she looks like now.”
Zachary uttered with a scowl, “These people have their heads in the clouds. Seren, is my father-in-law really your grandparents’ son?”
“That’s not important when you have parents who play favorites. There are cases where the child can get less attention than an adopted child too.
“Harriet must be going for plastic surgery, but I have no idea where the surgery will take place. Can you look into it and stop her from looking like me? I got the word out of Noah when your bodyguards caught him stalking and taking photos of me.”
Noah was not straight with Serenity. All he said was that the photos were for Harriet, so the latter could mimic Serenity’s mannerisms.
It was not hard to guess that the Hunts were trying to get Harriet to play Serenity.
Serenity and the Hunts were way past reconciliation. Now that Serenity became Mrs. York, the Hunts resented her for refusing them to ride on her coattails. On top of that, Serenity was the cause of their heavy financial losses.
The plan to have Harriet replace Serenity was so they got someone on the inside to benefit from as well as to get even with Serenity and Zachary.
