Chapter 40
One of the security guards saidcalmly, “Please, miss, don’t make up stories. Our security company follows proper procedures.”
He Hipped through a photo “Sh your car was parked illegally within our villa community. Since you’re not a quest of any of our residents, we’ve contacted the authorities to tow it
“please leave the premises and pay the fine to retrieve your car. And if you continue to disturb our residents, we will be forced to call the police”
The photo showed Zach’s cat, which had past been parked at the entrance of the villa community. These security guards sure knew how to find a reason.
Sering that Serena had firmly decided not to see him, he clenched his injured hand in pain, his lips pressed into a thin line as he tried to suppress his frustration. “I’ll leave right
unk you for your cooperation
The secinity quads didn’t leave just wet. They escorted Zach and Wendy off the premises, ensuring they were gone from Serena’s villa.
Back in the cat, Wendy looked at Zach’s injured hand with sympathy and moved closer. “Zach, maybe we should go back to Yellowbrook City. Staying here will only make Serena angrier ”
“still need to stay in Javerton City for a while,” he replied. “There’s a project I haven’t finished discussing. If you don’t want to stay here, I can have someone arrange for you to
Zach gritted his teeth, driving through the pain, not once sparing Wendy a glance.
Wendy was displeased.
“I’m worried about you being here alone. I’ll stay and keep you company,” she said
“Do whatever you want.”
Zach didn’t waste time arguing with Wendy over such trivial matters. He quickly contacted Morton to arrange for two properties in Javerton City
One had to be near Serma’s place in Crestview Bay, while the other had no specific requirements.
When Wendy heard this, she wasn’t pleased and immediately put on a pitiful act. “Zach, what if something happens to me while I’m living alone in another place? I’m not familiar with Laverton Cry at all”
Zach frowned slightly. Taking advantage of the red light, he turned his head and saw her on the verge of tears. His heart softened.
He couldn’t let her be alone and end up in trouble. He relented and said, “Alright, then you can stay with me for now.”
“Thank you, Zar
You’re the best!” Wendy coord, a flash of malice glinting in her eyes
She was determined to hold onto Zach no matter what.
At the villa, Serena was exhausted and just wanted to rest for a while.
But then her phone rang I was Howard calling
“Where are you? you burned the family chapel to the ground and disappeared without a word. The elders are so upset that they’ve fallen ill, Get back here and apologize”
“I told you, I didn’t set the fire Can’t anyone understand what I’m saying? Serena pressed her temples, feeling a headache coming on
Upon hearing this, Howard grew even angdies, his voice growing sharper. “I had people investigate. The fire started from inside the family chapel, and you were the only one there
“If it wasn’t you who started the fire, then it must be your mother’s memorial that brought bad luck! How could the chapel catch fire out of nowhere?
“Get back here, or not only will your mother’s memorial never be placed in the family chapel again, but her name won’t even be in the family record!” The call abruptly ended with a harsh berp
Serena’s eyes burned with cold fury, frustrated at Howard’s behator.
They were trying to erase her mother’s existence, but she wouldn’t let that happen She bomediately stood up and took a cab to the Jansen residence.
