Now, with Zachary claiming to be away on business, Clive could confirm that Zachary was indeed Serenity\u2019s spouse.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen are you coming back?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAre you that eager to buy me coffee?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cCut the act, Zachary. I know everything. The wedding ring on Serenity\u2019s finger matches yours, right? The wife whose face is not shown in the picture is Serenity, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary fell silent.<\/div>\n<div>He neither confirmed nor denied it.<\/div>\n<div>Clive interpreted Zachary\u2019s silence as an admission.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen did you two get married? Was it before Serenity went viral on Twitter? You\u2019ve been married for some time, yet you kept it a secret. Elisa went crazy for you and even came to your office to profess her love publicly!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cElisa became the talk of the town while you maintained your aloof and sophisticated persona, making a mockery of her feelings. The public ridiculed her for not being able to win your heart. They laughed at her because, despite knowing that you and I are business rivals, she still liked you. They teased her because she asked for it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhy did you hide your identity as the heir of the wealthy York family from Serenity?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Clive felt a surge of anger as he spoke. He was reminded that his sister was infatuated with Zachary, even though he was already married to Serenity.<\/div>\n<div>His sister had unknowingly become the other woman in someone\u2019s marriage.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa would probably still be obsessed with Zachary if he hadn\u2019t revealed the truth or worn his wedding ring.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHow long do you intend to keep this from Serenity? Don\u2019t you know that Serenity and Elisa are best friends? They\u2019re also cousins now. What would happen if\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What will Elisa think when she discovers that Serenity\u2019s husband is the man she once loved and could not have? How will Serenity react? How will the cousins interact after this revelation?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClive,\u201d Alice called out.<\/p>\n<p>As her husband shouted at Zachary on the phone, Alice approached him and reminded him, \u201cPlease keep it down. Your mom and Elisa might hear you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After taking a few deep breaths, Clive replied, \u201cPour me a glass of water, Alice. I got thirsty after running my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Alice turned on her heel and walked away to pour a glass of water for her husband, urging him to calm down and control his emotions.<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the line, Zachary waited for Clive to vent before coldly responding, \u201cThat\u2019s between me and Serenity. I don\u2019t owe you an explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary!\u201d Clive growled, his anger palpable. \u201cWhat\u2019s with the cocky attitude? Don\u2019t make me expose your true self to Serenity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClive, this is about me and Serenity. I have my reasons for keeping my identity hidden from her. I\u2019ll decide when to come clean, but I\u2019m not obligated to tell you anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never had feelings for your sister. I hadn\u2019t even spoken to her before her confession. If she has feelings for me, that\u2019s her issue, not mine. I can\u2019t control her feelings nor can I stop her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachary\u2019s voice was low and steady. \u201cEven if Serenity discovers who I am, my nana was the one who brought us together. She was single, and I was a bachelor. We haven\u2019t done anything morally or legally wrong by being together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t betray Elisa!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Clive\u2019s accusations echoed Zachary\u2019s previous concerns. He worried that Elisa might take action against Serenity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Clive said.<\/p>\n<p>Clive wanted to express his feelings more strongly to Zachary but struggled to find the right words. \u201cMr. Stone, this isn\u2019t a good time for me to continue this conversation. I\u2019ll take you out to dinner after New Year\u2019s, and we can discuss it then.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter New Year\u2019s? Oh, right. You can\u2019t show your face now. Are you feeling guilty? I bet you didn\u2019t expect Serenity to become my cousin.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Changing the subject, Clive added, \u201cYou can call me your cousin, Zachary.\u201d<\/p>\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 ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uf190 \uf15c \uf18e Chapter 656 Clive mentally cursed Zachary.
