Upon noticing him, she approached and greeted him, \u201cMr. Bucham.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMs. Sox,\u201d he replied.<\/div>\n<div>Josh smiled back, expressing concern, \u201cAre you feeling better from your cold?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes, thank you for asking.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity quietly led Zachary away to give Josh and Jasmine some privacy to talk.<\/div>\n<div>Once alone, she complimented her husband. \u201cZachary, your colleague is quite impressive. Is he also a director at your company? I noticed him when you exited the hotel.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes, he\u2019s a director and holds a very senior position. Everyone calls him Mr. Bucham.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He then leaned in closer to Serenity and whispered, \u201cHe asked me not to share this, but since we\u2019re husband and wife, I think it\u2019s okay to tell you. Mr. Bucham has earned the trust of our CEO and is his right-hand man. Aside from the CEO, Mr. Bucham holds the highest status in the company.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity blinked in surprise. \u201cHe\u2019s that influential?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary nodded earnestly. \u201cHe truly is remarkable. Just mentioning his name commands respect in the industry.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity glanced at Josh once more.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary gently turned her face back and quickly kissed her cheek, whispering, \u201cDon\u2019t stare at him. I\u2019m more attractive than he is.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHe\u2019s so close to Mr. York; I just wanted to look at him again. The people around Mr. York are extraordinary, so it stands to reason that Mr. York himself must be impressive too. It\u2019s no wonder Elisa was so taken with him for such a long time.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary straightened up and replied,<\/p>\n<p>Warmly, she said, \u201cIf Mr. York could persuade someone as exceptional as Mr. Bucham to work for him willingly, then surely, he must be even more impressive than Mr. Bucham.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid Mr. Bucham assist my sister in gathering evidence of Hank\u2019s infidelity?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary fell silent, realizing he might have inadvertently revealed Josh\u2019s identity as an informant. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity had actually deduced that it was Josh. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou mentioned it was your friend who helped us. I can\u2019t think of anyone else besides Mr. Bucham. You also said that within your company, Mr. Bucham ranks just below Mr. York. I understand that influential people have strong connections. Who else could assist you with that favor other than Mr. Bucham? Surely, you didn\u2019t trouble the esteemed Mr. York for my sister\u2019s issues?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He had previously noted how difficult it was to even get a meeting with Mr. York at the company, which was why Serenity assumed he sought Josh\u2019s help. <\/p>\n<p>Unable to resist, Zachary reached out and affectionately rubbed Serenity\u2019s head, a smile in his eyes. Nana truly found me a gem; you\u2019re always full of surprises. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did ask Mr. Bucham for help. He agreed because I assisted him in matchmaking with Ms. Sox,\u201d Zachary explained. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity nodded in understanding, wisely refraining from commenting on Zachary\u2019s impressive ability to connect with such a powerful figure. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is the demolition progressing? Did you manage to take pictures?\u201d Zachary changed the subject, secretly admitting that he was a bit curious. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity hesitated before responding, \u201cI forgot to take pictures. In any case, everything that could be removed was taken down, and what couldn\u2019t be removed was smashed. The house is essentially back to its original state before the renovation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary chuckled, \u201cThat\u2019s exactly how it should be!\u201d<\/p>\n<div>Once everyone had loaded everything onto the truck, he took Serenity\u2019s hand and said, \u201cLet\u2019s go to Liberty\u2019s place and help her.\u201d <\/div>\n<div>\u201cFirst, let\u2019s stop by the store to pick up Sonny,\u201d Zachary said, agreeing with a smile. \u201cOkay.\u201d <\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon
