Chapter 279<\/div>\n
Zachary picked up the maneki-neko again as his wife remarked, \u201cI made your maneki-neko larger than the one I gave Ms. Stone. I put a lot of effort into it. What do you think? Doesn\u2019t it look lifelike?\u201d<\/div>\n
The fact that his was bigger than Ms. Stone\u2019s made Zachary feel pleased. However, he kept his expression neutral and simply hummed softly, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity beamed. \u201cI\u2019m glad you like it.\u201d<\/div>\n
She placed her car keys on the coffee table and turned to head into the kitchen. \u201cI\u2019m making pasta for dinner. Would you like some?\u201d She quickly answered her own question before Zachary could respond, \u201cOh, I forgot. You don\u2019t usually eat dinner because it adds weight.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary thought to himself, \u2018What more can I say? You\u2019ve covered it all.\u2019<\/div>\n
Nonetheless, he wasn\u2019t feeling hungry.<\/div>\n
In the kitchen, Serenity was boiling pasta. Zachary stood by the kitchen door for a moment, watching her slice onions and basil\u2014her two favorite pasta ingredients. She also cooked an egg and some bacon bits.<\/div>\n
She had mentioned that she enjoyed a bit of grease in her food.<\/div>\n
Just then, Serenity\u2019s phone rang. She paused her cooking and murmured, \u201cWho could be calling me at this hour?\u201d<\/div>\n
As soon as Serenity saw that the caller was Shawn, her brows knitted together, and she answered the call. Zachary overheard her saying, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Shawn?\u201d<\/div>\n
It was a call from Shawn!<\/div>\n
Zachary immediately perked up, listening intently.<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity, is your brother-in-law named Hank Brown?\u201d<\/div>\n
Shawn only realized why Hank\u2019s name sounded familiar once he got home. It appeared to be the name of Serenity\u2019s brother-in-law.<\/div>\n
He immediately called Serenity to confirm this possibility. Of course, he\u2026<\/div>\n

his hidden agenda. This was a reason for Serenity to feel thankful toward him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my brother-in-law\u2019s name. What\u2019s the issue? Do you know him?\u201d <\/p>\n

At this point, Zachary could sense where the conversation was heading. Without interrupting their phone call, he quietly slipped away to his bedroom and dialed Josh. When Josh answered, Zachary asked in a low voice, \u201cJosh, have you uncovered anything regarding the investigation into Hank\u2019s affair?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I have. I was planning to bring the report and photographs to you tomorrow. Hank is definitely looking to cheat on Liberty, but he and his lover haven\u2019t gotten physical yet. It\u2019s more like they\u2019re dating without any sexual involvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides a few pieces of jewelry, Hank hasn\u2019t given his lover a house or a car. My team managed to take photos of them together; there are some intimate shots of them kissing and hugging, but nothing beyond that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh noted that the secretary, Jessica, was quite flirtatious and knew how to handle men. She wasn\u2019t rushing to be with Hank, teasing him instead by playing hard to get. This was a common flaw in human nature; people often desired what they couldn\u2019t easily obtain.<\/p>\n

\u201cHank is very stingy with his wife but lavish with his lover, Jessica Yates. He frequently takes her out for dinner at the Wiltspoon Hotel, which makes it easier for me to track their expenses there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wiltspoon Hotel was owned by York Corporation and managed by Kevin, who always maintained a friendly demeanor. Kevin had previously met Hank.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you call me so late at night to ask about this? Did your sister-in-law discover her husband\u2019s infidelity?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot yet, but someone beat me to the punch and took the credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh responded, \u201cWho would do something like that? Tell me, Zachary. I\u2019ll make sure they learn a lesson about the consequences of their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStepping on your toes,\u201d he said, eager to join in on the gossip. \u201cLet me guess: was it your love rival?\u201d Josh wasn\u2019t foolish; in fact, he was quick to understand.<\/p>\n
