“We’re just as curious to find out,” Elisa said. “It’s unfortunate that my brother couldn’t uncover anything. I wonder who Mrs. York is.”
Elisa poured herself another cup of tea, taking sips to quench her thirst before adding, “Woe is me. Not only did I lose, but I don’t even know who my opponent was.”
“I want to know what it took for the woman to win Mr. York’s heart. He protects her from the outside world so well. Mr. York must love her dearly.”
Ultimately, Elisa felt as if she were holding a knife and stabbing herself with it. The pain was immense. Yet, she knew she had to confront the truth.
“My Mr. York mentioned that his CEO adores his wife, but he has no idea who she is either. Maybe…”
Serenity stared at Jasmine, and puzzled, Elisa also turned her attention to her.
With both pairs of eyes on her, Jasmine became suspicious. “Seren, why are you looking at me like that? Don’t tell me you think I’m the mysterious Mrs. York. I grew up hearing stories about Mr. York, but I have never met him in person.”
“The closest I ever got to Mr. York was that night we attended the event together. You know he was surrounded by his security detail. I couldn’t get close enough to see his face.”
Thinking Serenity might have insider information since her husband worked at York Corporation, Elisa asked, “Tell me, Serenity. Is Jasmine Mr. York’s wife?”
“She’s not,” Serenity replied, astonished that these girls had more vivid imaginations than she did. They had already formed a theory before she could speak.
“We need to rely on Jasmine to find out who Mr. York’s wife is,” she added.
Jasmine pointed at herself. “Me? I’ve never even met Mr. York. How would I know who his wife is? If I did know, I would have called the paparazzi to sell the information. At least I could…”
“Earn some cash,” she said.
“You went on a blind date with Josh. My husband mentioned that Mr. Bucham holds a significant position just below the CEO of York Corporation. If you get close to him, you might be able to extract valuable information for some insider gossip.”
Jasmine was left speechless.
Elisa turned to her, grasped her shoulder, and shook her gently. “Come on, Jasmine. Ask Josh right now. He must have the inside scoop since Mr. York trusts him the most.”
