Chapter 84
Just then, Zach’s phone rang
He was going to ignore it at first, but Wendy noticed the caller’s name. It was
“Zach, Ma. Poster Senior is calling!
“Huh?” Zach took his phone net and glanced at it. “Tlease give me a few minutes, Pent. I’ll leikina pulgak?
He reached out an arm to block Seena’s way as he answredibe call
As soon as the call connected, Neal’s furious voice erupted from the phone.
“Foster Group’s work is piling up. Zach, tiet back to Yellowbrook City right nolikum we haven’t landed the deal with Larson og pet, but you beglect everything wise at the company. Stop mixing business with personal matters just to chase after a woman tien back here real“!
Neal couldn’t stop coughing as he spoke. The mere thought of Zach purchasing a property in Javerton Cliy for Wendy while foster tirong’s partnership with Larson Group remained. Magnant filled him with rage.
However, to Zach, it sounded like Neal had mistaken the women Suena. He thought Neal was upset because he hadom fere instead of the deal with p
“I’m not here to chase after a woman, Grandpa. I’m very close to securing the deal with Larson Group.”
“Secure my ass! It looks like you’ve lost your damn mind over a woman. Get back here right now??
The moment Neal finished speaking, he ended the call.
Zach found himself caught in a bind
How could he ever fix things with Sea if he left now? Hence, he decided to explain his intention to ferens
He looked up, only to see Sesena smiling at him
Zach’s instincts screamed at him–something was off.
He had deliberately kept his activities under wraps because he was afraid that the Fosters would think that he was stacking off. Besides, he had only been attending all sorts of meetings and events with the trusted Wendy.
So, how did Neal find out that he was here, trying to mend things with Serena?
Wendy had been by his side all this time, and the only other person who knew about this was
“Rena, was it you who told Grandpa? Did you make him think I was just wasting my time here in Javerton City so that he’d get me to return to Yellowbrook City sooner?”
A deeper smile played on Serena’s lips.
“Well, I do hope you’d leave sooner, but I’m just a nobody in the Jansen Group. How am I supposed to know the Fosters schedule in Javerton Ciry? Do you think I could tell Mr. Foster Senior about that as well?”
After a brief pause, Serena went on, “It’s not just me who wants you back in Yellowbrook City, is it?”
She shot Wendy a knowing look
Zach snapped back to his senses immediately. He turned to place at Wendy.
ndy, you….
Ever since they had arrived at Javerton City, be it directly or indirectly, Wendy had been urging him to go back. Moreover, only the three of them were aware of what had happened recently and could reach Neal
Wendy blinked in supuse before her face misted into a hurt expression.
“It wasn’t me, Zach. I wanted to return to Yellowbrook City. I would’ve left ages ago, just like you suggested. The only reason I’m still here is because of you.”
For a tharting moment, Zach seemed moved.
Sevena stifled a laugh and then said, “Yeah, right. You didn’t want to go back alone because you wanted to go back together with Zach.”
She made sure to put extra emphasis on the words “with Zach‘
Smiling she stepped forward and continued, “Congratulations. Now, with Mr. Foster Senior’s order, you can head back to Tellowbrook City with Zach much earlier.” “NL”
Wendy found herself unable to explain.
Zach was nearly convinced

1-1“Wendy stuttered.
Then, she saw Serena silently retreating into the shadows Out of Zach’s sight, Serena flashed her a vitorious smile
Wendy’s leath hitched, and she turned sharply. “It was Serena who did this, Zach. She’s trying to set me up!
Yet, Zano longer believed her.
“I’m very diappointed in you, Wendy.”
