As the convoy came to a halt, Zachary lowered his window and addressed the scar-faced man standing nearby. \u201cWhat brings you here, Duncan?\u201d he inquired.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI went to pick something up, but when I returned, I found a scratch on my car,\u201d Duncan replied.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary, acting on impulse, asked, \u201cDo you need my assistance in tracking down the person who damaged your car?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cNo worries. I got her number. I\u2019ll handle the damages once my car is repaired. Wiltspoon is my territory. She can run, but she can\u2019t hide,\u201d Duncan stated confidently.<\/div>\n<div>With that, Duncan Lewis climbed back into his vehicle, started the engine, and said, \u201cI\u2019m off.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Without further conversation, Zachary rolled up his windows and resumed driving with the convoy.<\/div>\n<div>Time passed swiftly, and before long, evening arrived.<\/div>\n<div>As the afterschool rush subsided, Serenity prepared to make dinner for herself and Jasmine in the kitchen when her phone rang. It was Liberty.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSeren, I\u2019ve been mulling this over all day. I\u2019m reaching out because I\u2019m out of options,\u201d Liberty said, her voice anxious.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on, Liberty?\u201d Serenity asked, concern evident in her tone.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhile I was out shopping with the stroller, I accidentally scratched a Maybach. I can only imagine how costly the repairs will be. My savings definitely won\u2019t cover it. I told your brother-in-law, but he just yelled at me to fix the issue myself,\u201d Liberty explained, distress creeping into her voice.<\/div>\n<div>Feeling a knot form in her stomach, Serenity urged, \u201cTake a deep breath, Liberty. How much do you think the repairs will cost?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019m not sure yet. The owner took my number and said they would contact me once the car is repaired,\u201d Liberty responded, a hint of despair in her voice.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat matters most is that you and Sonny are okay. We can take care of the repair costs. I\u2019ll lend you the money,\u201d Serenity reassured her friend.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry about the money,\u201d she reassured. <\/p>\n<p>Liberty was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down her face. \u201cSeren, I feel like such a loser. I can\u2019t believe I messed this up.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just an accident, Liberty. Don\u2019t beat yourself up over it. Money is just a material thing. Be grateful that no one was hurt,\u201d Serenity comforted her. <\/p>\n<p>Once Liberty had composed herself, Serenity turned to her best friend Jasmine. \u201cI need to rush home.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d Jasmine replied, understanding the urgency. <\/p>\n<p>Realizing Liberty needed support, Jasmine encouraged Serenity to get home quickly. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity hurried to her sister\u2019s place and stayed with her throughout the night, only returning home at midnight. <\/p>\n<p>As she opened the door, Zachary\u2019s probing voice filled the air. \u201cWhy are you back so late?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While she shut the door behind her, Serenity responded, \u201cMy sister ran into a bit of trouble.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary\u2019s tense expression softened slightly as he inquired, \u201cWhat happened to her?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe went shopping this afternoon and accidentally bumped into a luxury car with a stroller she was pushing. Since it left a scratch, the repairs are going to be costly. My sister doesn\u2019t have a job or any income, and she\u2019s worried about covering the expenses,\u201d Serenity explained. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary\u2019s dark eyes flickered with concern. Could it be that Serenity\u2019s sister had damaged Duncan\u2019s car? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of car was it? What\u2019s the extent of the damage?\u201d he asked, his tone serious. <\/p>\n<p>With a neutral expression, Serenity replied, \u201cMy sister mentioned it was a Maybach. I assume fixing a scratch on a car like that won\u2019t come cheap.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity wasn\u2019t sure just how much of a financial hit it would be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 26 Meanwhile, a convoy of luxury sedans glided down the road, one of which was a Rolls Royce\u2014Zachary\u2019s personal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11678\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
