Chapter 652
With a curious expression, Alice asked Serenity a question.
Serenity turned around and replied, “It’s fortunate that my sister didn’t come along; everything is fine now since she divorced Hank. I realized I was the cause of the arguments between them, which is why I rushed into marriage.”
She went on to explain the reasons behind her hasty marriage to Alice.
Alice nodded in understanding. “I see. You helped your husband’s grandmother, and she really appreciates you. She likely paired you two together to express her gratitude.”
Although Alice had seldom seen Old Mrs. York, her partner had mentioned that the elderly lady was friendly and down-to-earth.
Old Mrs. York had a tendency to keep her identity hidden, almost like a playful child.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Alice.
It seemed strange that someone as formidable as Old Mrs. York would need rescuing.
Could Serenity be sure that the old lady hadn’t had her sights on her from the start, plotting to make her Zachary’s wife?
“Is your husband employed at York Corporation?”
“Yes.”
“Does your husband’s last name also happen to be York?”
Serenity tilted her head, glanced at Alice, and smiled as she responded, “Alice, do you think my husband is the wealthy heir of the York family?”
“He’s just an ordinary salaryman, but he’s quite talented for holding a managerial position in the company. Honestly, there are so many managerial roles at York Corporation that my husband rarely gets to see the esteemed Mr. York.”
“His work situation has been favorable mainly because… Well, he sort of got a free pass.”
This was all thanks to his connection with Josh.
Zachary and Josh would be astounded to learn the truth.
The identity of the person with the free pass was still up for debate.
“York is an uncommon surname, and your husband works at York Corporation as well. It certainly makes people curious,”
Alice continued with another question, “What’s your husband’s name?”
“Zachary.”
“Zachary York?”
“Yes. Does the heir have the same name too?”
Serenity responded with a smile, “My husband’s last name is York, but I doubt he shares the same name as ‘the’ Mr. York.”
Alice replied with a grin, “That’s true. I was just checking.”
Yet, a storm was brewing inside her.
Jesus Christ.
Serenity’s husband was indeed “the” Zachary York!
There are many people with the same surname in the world.
Of course, the same applies to people with identical first and last names.
However, there was only one Zachary York at York Corporation, and that was the heir of the York family.
Alice couldn’t believe her man’s suspicion was accurate.
If they were the same person, it would explain Zachary’s sudden invitation to Clive for dinner the other day.
Zachary must have realized early on that Serenity was Mrs. Stone’s niece and Clive’s cousin. He was likely trying to ingratiate himself with Clive.
“To be honest, you’re not the only one who suspects my husband’s connection to the wealthiest York. It can’t just be a coincidence. A man like Mr. York, with such status and power, wouldn’t need to marry in a hurry. Would he really marry someone like me?”
“Jasmine often talks about the female lead having a blind marriage to a wealthy heir, suggesting that I must have married a rich husband too. But how can fiction be taken seriously? How many rich heirs are there to randomly marry one?”
Alice smiled and replied, “That’s true. Fiction can’t be taken seriously, but stories are often inspired by real life. Sometimes, life can be
More cliché than tales.
