Alger came rumming back, completely out of breath. He reported, “According to what I’ve find, Mr. Foster and Ms. Smith both stay in the house in Javerton City”
“He bought a house for Wendy?”
Aware of anger hit Neal all at once. As soon as he thought of Wendly and her scheming ways, his voice shot up in frustration. “What gave Zach the nerve to disguise personal favors for that woman as an official duty in Javeston City? Wendy’s just an outsider, for goodness sakel
“That side, why did he mess with the Larsons? Tell him to go fix this, Now!”
The moment Neal finished spealding, he was wracked with violent coughs. He had no time to check who had sent the message.
As soon as the Fosters knew Zach was the root of the trouble, they bombarded him with bious messages.
At Crestview Bay’s rooftop, Chandler efficiently formed a team to cut off various projects related to foster Group
Hugh stood in front of the massive glass windows. He cast a glance at his watch when the typing sounds behind him finally stopped
anything we should do next?”
“Yes.” Chandler snapped the laptop shut. “They found out about the Larsons, and they’re probably pressuring Zach now. Is there anythin
“Pick out an evening gown for Mrs. Larson, and get a styling crew, too.”
This was Serena’s first appearance in public as Mrs. Larson, so every detail had to be impeccable.
Chandler nodded. He led his team to execute the next task with double vigilance
After all, bringing down the Foster Group could wait. Ensuring the boss‘ wife looked flawless came first
Meanwhile, in the room downstairs, Zach was on edge with anxiety after seeing the messages from Foster Group
“How did things even comg to this? Is it because of what happened in the afternoon?” he thought
He glanced at Wendy, who was draped over the couch, loolding utterly frail and helpless
“Why did you bring a small knife with you when you met with Serena? Are you
*Serena used to take care of when I was sick, and the always brought a small knife with her to peel apples. I ordered some apples and brought a small knife along, thinking it might bring back old memories I never saw this coming
Wendy covered her face and started crying again.
Zach knew Wendy was kind–hearted, and Scena wasn’t the type to act violently. Hence, he believed it was just an accident.
He didn’t ask any further.
Fosser Group sent someone to hand him an invitation for tomorrow night’s banquet
- ME.
They reminded him, “The Larsons will also be there tomorrow. This is the perfect opportunity for you to reconcile with them. I be a win–win situation if the gredges can be settled,
“Alright,” Zach said as he took the invitation
Then, Wendy nestled beside him, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked. “Can you bring me along Zich?
“After that heated dash with Serena, with blood involved no less? What if Hugh sees you?”
“Serena’s just his secret lover. You see, he won’t even acknowledge her officially. There’s no way he’d make a scene there just for a mere fling,” Wendy said firmly.
Sering Zach begin to waver, she threw herself into his arms. Her soft lips nearly bru and his chest, sending heat surging through him.
Clinging to his neck, she whispered, “I’ll apologize sincerely if Hugh says anything. Please, Zach, belime with you……”
Instinctively, Zach tilted his head and pushed her away
Amending an event like this without a date wouldn’t look right.
After hesitating for a while, he nodded.
“Promise me you’ll be careful with your words, especially when it comes to Serena. Can you stick to that?”
Boca split second, Wendy’s eyes gleamed with something sharp and dangerous. Her arms, which were wrapped atmund Zach’s neck, tightened as she felt jealousy tise with Sevena was just a pampered thing Zach had groomed. Did she really believe she was someone to be traced?
