Married at First Sight Chapter 614

Finally, Jasmine gathered the courage to ask Elisa about Josh without any shame. She learned that if Josh truly intended to harm someone, that person’s fate would be worse than expected. His strategy involved slowly stripping away everything from that individual, allowing them to experience despair drop by drop. It was a form of prolonged mental torture.

Consequently, Jasmine felt a bit anxious about potentially offending him if she rejected his advances, fearing he might take out his frustration on Zachary instead.

“I’ll give it a try. Don’t worry, I won’t pressure myself,” she said, reassuring herself despite her worries.

“Seren, didn’t you go to the Stone residence last night? I was surprised by your sister’s reaction when she brought Sonny over,” Jasmine remarked.

At the mention of that incident, Serenity’s expression turned resentful. She silently cursed the entire Brown family. If it hadn’t been for Olivia and Chelsea picking a fight with Liberty, she wouldn’t have clashed with Zachary again.

However, given Zachary’s personality, conflicts were inevitable. Serenity pondered how many more disagreements they would endure before their sharp edges softened and they stopped being so contentious.

“Jasmine, let’s go to the bar for a few drinks after work tonight,” Serenity suggested.

Jasmine chuckled, “You’re feeling bold now that your husband is away on a business trip and can’t keep you in line.”

“I can go wherever I want, even when he’s home. I don’t control him, and he doesn’t control me,” Serenity replied.

Noticing the shift in Serenity’s tone, Jasmine’s smile faded. She looked at her friend with concern and asked gently, “Seren, did you and your husband argue again?”

She recalled that the young couple had nearly had a falling out the day she—

The reason was that Zachary had seen her cousin, Shawn, sending…

Flowers for Serenity. For this reason, Jasmine decided to have another long conversation with her cousin. Thinking about Shawn’s reluctance made her feel a bit uneasy. She sensed that he was not really listening to her well-meaning advice. Trapped in a dead end, he was unwilling to turn back, leaving him stuck in place. “No, I just feel depressed lately and want to go to the bar for a couple of drinks to unwind,” he explained. Since Serenity did not want to elaborate, Jasmine wisely chose to drop the subject.

Meanwhile, at Lewis & Co., Duncan tried to call Zachary, but his friend did not answer. After sending a message, he waited a long time for Zachary’s two-word reply: “I’m busy.” This indicated that Zachary was too occupied to take calls. Duncan felt this was a consequence of his own loose talk the night before, which cost him the focus he needed for work. After some thought, he pressed the intercom and instructed his secretary, “Please ask Liberty Hunt from the finance department to come see me.”

The secretary promptly made an internal call to the finance department, notifying Liberty to meet with Duncan. When the message was received, everyone in the finance department turned to look at Liberty. Many witnesses had seen what transpired the previous evening. As a woman, many sympathized with Liberty’s situation and believed she handled the divorce exceptionally well. However, those who disapproved of her would argue that she deserved to be abandoned by her husband. Liberty set her work aside, calmly got up, and walked out of the office. Just as she left, she overheard her colleagues mocking her for trying to leverage Duncan’s assistance to build connections.
