Chapter 142<\/div>\n
Shawn found the Hunts to be truly unbelievable. Their shamelessness reached an entirely new level.<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity, I recorded your conversation with them,\u201d Jasmine said. \u201cI\u2019ll send you the voice recording in case they fabricate anything about you online again.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity gave her best friend a thumbs up. The Hunts had her so worked up that she forgot to record the conversation on her phone.<\/div>\n
\u201cShawn, aren\u2019t you going to work?\u201d After sending the voice recording to her best friend, Jasmine noticed her cousin was still at the shop and urged him to hurry. <\/div>\n
Reluctant to leave, Shawn replied, \u201cI\u2019m working at my family\u2019s company. It doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m a little late.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOn the contrary, you should make an effort to follow the company\u2019s rules and regulations since it\u2019s a family business. Set a good example so no one can criticize you. Hurry up; you know Aunt Rachel will be upset if she finds out you\u2019re not in the office.\u201d<\/div>\n
As the eldest child, Jasmine\u2019s aunt and uncle had high expectations for Shawn to eventually take over the family business.<\/div>\n
Serenity added, \u201cShawn, you should hurry to work. If you don\u2019t leave now, it\u2019ll be time to clock out before you know it.\u201d<\/div>\n
Even though Shawn complained, he grabbed his car keys and headed out, reminding Serenity, \u201cDon\u2019t forget to buy me dinner.\u201d \u201cOf course. When have I ever broken a promise to you?\u201d<\/div>\n
Shawn left the bookshop with reluctance.<\/div>\n
With Shawn gone, the bookshop returned to its usual tranquility.<\/div>\n
Jasmine continued to read novels while Serenity focused on her crafts.<\/div>\n
As noon approached and school was out for the day, she put away her tools.<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, after business discussions concluded in the CEO\u2019s office at York Corporation, Josh casually remarked, \u201cMr.<\/p>\n

York, I heard that the missus\u2019s relatives made quite an entrance when they arrived at her shop, arriving in several cars.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary\u2019s dark eyes sparkled, but he maintained a neutral expression. Without raising his chin, he said calmly, \u201cSerenity is her own woman. Those people can\u2019t get their way just by showing up; she has her own strength.\u201d <\/p>\n

Noticing that his boss appeared unfazed, Josh wisely shifted the topic. <\/p>\n

It had only been a short time since their marriage, and given Zachary\u2019s naturally detached demeanor, it was likely that Serenity needed more time to capture his heart. <\/p>\n

Oh, Serenity! The battle is far from over. Keep pushing forward! \u2018You can do it!\u2019 Josh silently encouraged Serenity, hoping she would soon win Zachary\u2019s affection. It would certainly be interesting when that happened. <\/p>\n

\u201cLunch together?\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary signed the paperwork and set down his pen. He looked at Josh and declined the invitation, saying, \u201cYou distracted me from lunch.\u201d <\/p>\n

Josh was left speechless. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re as nosy as a woman. I prefer silence.\u201d <\/p>\n

Josh was utterly stunned. How was he supposed to gather information for Zachary if he couldn\u2019t delve into other people\u2019s affairs?<\/p>\n
