Chapter 811
At the hilltop villa, Zachary attempted to carry Serenity from the car.
“I can get out by myself. I don’t want you to carry me. Don’t touch me!”
Serenity firmly rejected his offer and did not want him to lay a hand on her again.
After pushing him away, she exited the car on her own.
Brandt stepped out of the house.
He was taken aback to see Serenity and instinctively called out, “Mrs. York.”
Serenity replied coldly, “Don’t call me Mrs. York. I’m not Mrs. York. The illustrious Mr. York is beyond my reach!”
Her words dripped with sarcasm and bitterness.
She was genuinely furious.
Turning to Zachary, she remarked, “Didn’t you claim to live alone? Lying comes so naturally to you, doesn’t it? You don’t even need to prepare a script; you lie as effortlessly as you breathe.”
His acting skills were too convincing, and she hadn’t been sharp enough to see through him.
She felt foolish.
Because she had seen him drive a luxury MPV and live in a local neighborhood rather than a villa, she had assumed he was just a regular salaryman.
She recalled him asking if she would believe him if he claimed to be the richest man in Wiltspoon.
She wouldn’t have believed him.
To her, the York family was an unattainable wealth, and she, an ordinary woman, could never be the wife of the great Mr. York.
When they first married, Jasmine had teased her, but Serenity had argued that billionaires weren’t just found on the streets, insisting that her husband could never be the richest man in Wiltspoon.
She had told Jasmine that her friend was reading too many novels and was lost in fantasy.
Now, she was regretting her words.
Zachary pursed his lips and looked at
remained silent.
It was true that he had lied to her, and he could not deny that fact.
After Serenity stared at him coldly for a moment, she walked past Brandt and entered the villa on her own accord.
“Sir, is the missus furious after finding out?”
Brandt asked with concern, “Should I summon Old Mrs. York?”
Old Mrs. York was the missus’ closest confidante.
Zachary paused for a moment before responding, “If Nana comes now, it will only escalate the situation. She was the one who brought us together and who concealed my identity and deceived Serenity first. If Serenity sees Nana, she’ll become even angrier instead of calming down.”
Serenity felt that the entire family were deceivers. They all cheated and lied to her!
“Nana won’t come now either. She probably slipped away faster than anyone else.”
Grandma May was most active when she pressured him into marrying Serenity. When he was reluctant to marry a stranger, she labeled him unfilial.
After being nagged and accused of being unfilial multiple times by his nana, Zachary reluctantly went along with her plan to avoid further complaints.
Grandma May acted without considering the consequences.
Now, Zachary had to deal with the fallout alone.
“Don’t go inside without my permission.”
Zachary instructed in a low voice before stepping into the house.
Brandt approached Jim and the others. He asked with concern, “Will Mr. Zachary and the missus be okay?”
Jim set aside his playful demeanor and looked serious.
“The missus is very upset, but regardless of how she treats Mr. Zachary, he must endure it. There’s nothing we can do to assist. All we can do is hope for the best.”
Hopefully, Serenity wouldn’t bring up divorce.
Otherwise, Zachary would lose his mind.
Serenity sat on the sofa.
She realized she was hungry.

She remembered that she had not eaten yet. Despite her anger, she should have lost her appetite. So why was she feeling hungry instead? Since hunger was calling, she set out to find something to eat. She would never deny herself food because of Zachary; he wasn’t worth it!
