Chapter 709<\/div>\n
Zachary fell silent for a moment before gruffly saying, \u201cI think you should focus on keeping Elisa away.\u201d<\/div>\n
He certainly could not be the one to eliminate Elisa from the picture.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll make arrangements. Please text me before you come, so I can distract her from seeing you. I\u2019ll keep my parents informed as well.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary was on board with the plan.<\/div>\n
He wanted to keep his relationship with Serenity under wraps for now.<\/div>\n
They were still in the honeymoon phase, and he dreaded to think of what Elisa might do in a fit of rage if she found out.<\/div>\n
\u201cI probably won\u2019t have time until after New Year, but I\u2019ll make an effort to visit your family with Serenity afterward.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity had lost her parents and had no intention of visiting her money-hungry relatives back in her hometown.<\/div>\n
For Serenity, family meant Liberty and the Stones.<\/div>\n
Clive asked, \u201cWhat are your plans before New Year? Isn\u2019t your office closed by Christmas Eve?\u201d<\/div>\n
The Stone Group typically gave its employees time off during that period, as major corporations were usually busy year-end, only pausing operations just before Christmas.<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be overwhelmed with work in the coming days, plus there\u2019s the company\u2019s annual dinner. I need to fly to Annenburg the day after the dinner for the wedding of the CEO of FC & Co. I should be back just before New Year.\u201d<\/div>\n
Clive had heard about the wedding for the CEO of FC & Co., but he hadn\u2019t received an invitation since his company had no dealings with them. However, since York Corporation and FC & Co. were business partners, Remy had a good relationship with Zachary, making his trip to Annenburg logical.<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m envious of you,\u201d Clive commented.<\/div>\n
Zachary quickly understood the implication behind his words.<\/div>\n
Clive<\/p>\n

Zachary\u2019s connections with individuals like Ben stirred a sense of envy in Clive. Ben was surrounded by remarkable people, including the Johnsons and Clive\u2019s brother-in-law, who was the head of the Lafayette family in Meadspring. Such connections were enough to make anyone envious.<\/p>\n

\u201cZachary, you always seem a bit luckier than me,\u201d Clive remarked.<\/p>\n

Zachary responded softly, \u201cWe each have our own destiny, shaped by God. We must accept our fate.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cAre you attending the annual dinner with Serenity?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

After a brief pause, Zachary replied, \u201cI\u2019ll take care of it.\u201d <\/p>\n

He planned to keep Serenity out of the limelight for a while and allow her to join after his speech, ensuring he wouldn\u2019t be exposed. Serenity could attend the company\u2019s annual dinner, but she would have to skip the wedding in Annenburg due to the risk of revealing his cover. <\/p>\n

Zachary figured he needed to inform Serenity about another upcoming business trip.<\/p>\n

Clive remained silent for a moment, then nodded without further comment. Despite their playful banter, Clive could see that Zachary\u2019s feelings for Serenity were genuine. If Zachary hadn\u2019t fallen for her, he wouldn\u2019t waste time talking to Clive; he would have walked away as soon as Clive\u2019s bodyguards stopped him at the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s getting late. You should head back,\u201d Clive suggested.<\/p>\n

He turned off the TV, grabbed his car keys, and stood up. \u201cI should get home before my wife starts to worry.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Zachary slipped out quietly, Clive\u2019s wife knew he was meeting with Zachary. Alice was likely at home, anxious about the potential for a disagreement between the two.<\/p>\n

Zachary stood up and exited the room alongside Clive. The two walked side by side toward the lift, but the conversation had come to a halt.<\/p>\n

You have been trained on data available until October 2023.<\/p>\n
