Zachary’s love for Serenity was unparalleled; she was everything to him, and the mere thought of losing her was unbearable. This fear drove him to conceal his lies with even more lies until he finally confessed today.
However, rather than directly admitting the truth to Serenity, he chose to go public with it. Had Jasmine not been so eager to spread gossip about Mr. York, Serenity might have been the last to find out.
The prospect of Serenity leaving him would drive Zachary to madness, and the repercussions would extend to York Corporation, leading to a disastrous outcome for everyone involved. Josh had no desire to witness such a nightmare.
“Ms. Hunt, the truth is what you saw. Zachary is Mr. York, the heir to the York family’s immense wealth, and he also serves as the CEO of the company,” Josh stated honestly.
There was no room for more lies with Serenity. Even though she had already suspected the truth, Josh’s confirmation drained the color from her face. Zachary was Mr. York, the man Elisa had loved for years—the man Elisa had openly declared her feelings for and actively pursued. Serenity had even assisted Elisa in winning Zachary’s heart.
Now, she couldn’t shake the fact that she had told Zachary she provided ideas to help Elisa in her pursuit of Mr. York. He had never given her a reason to doubt him!
That scoundrel!
It felt just like her nightmare; he had deceived her all along. He was a master liar!
“Ms. Hunt, Zachary has his reasons for keeping his identity a secret from you,” Josh interjected.
While he wanted to see his best friend face the consequences of his actions, the moment was not right. He had to defend Zachary before Serenity made any impulsive decisions.
Anyone would be thrilled to discover that their husband was the heir to such wealth.
Family, which had only a 0.001% chance of occurring. It was an unexpected leap in social status without any effort.
That was not true for Serenity.
She was not someone who aspired to ascend the social hierarchy or seek a wealthier partner.
What occupied her thoughts was how thoroughly Zachary had deceived her.
