John was speechless.
As Serenity pointed out, the Hunts would never have compromised unless the situation severely threatened their financial interests. However, they hadn’t fully surrendered either. The Hunts frequently irritated Serenity whenever they visited her shop.
ILL
It was just as Mr. Ziegel noted; they complicated a straightforward situation and were far from finding a solution.
“How does Serenity know Ms. Stone? What love guru was she referring to p>
John pursed his lips and replied, “Ms. Stone is infatuated with Mr. York. I suppose Serenity is teaching her how to win him over. Serenity will be in trouble once Mr. York discovers she has been giving Ms. Stone advice.” “What I meant was, how did they even meet? Normally, Serenity wouldn’t associate with someone like Ms. Stone p>
Mike envied Serenity for having connections with Ms. Stone and for having her support.
Although Elisa wasn’t employed at Stone Group, she remained the heiress of the Stone family. This status held significant influence. Her brother was one of the top CEOs in Wiltspoon. “Who knows how they became acquainted? I just thought of a plan to deal with Serenity. It will sabotage her relationship with Ms. Stone.” Quick to catch on, Mike asked, “Are you planning to inform Mr. York about Serenity? But how will you even get to meet him? I heard you need to schedule an appointment in advance, and even then, you might not get one. Appointments are screened and reviewed before reaching Mr. York p>
“I also heard that many employees at York Corporation have never met Mr. York, even after years of working there p>
To ordinary businessmen like them, the heir of the wealthy York family seemed almost godlike. While they had heard various rumors about him, there was no feasible way to meet Mr. York in person.
If Mike ever had the chance to see Mr. York, he—
was prepared to humble himself in order to win over Mr. York.
“I can’t meet with him directly, but I have other strategies to get his attention. Ms. Stone has been waiting outside York Corporation daily just for the chance to see Mr. York. I believe he finds her presence irritating, and I can leverage that to my advantage p>
“Even if Mr. York continues to ignore me, I can send him an anonymous letter. I’m confident he would take a moment to read it, as he would likely want to eliminate a nuisance. Do you think Mr. York would punish Serenity for advising Ms. Stone on how to pursue him? We wouldn’t need to lift a finger while Mr. York drives Serenity and Liberty out of the city. They would be unable to show their faces in Wiltspoon p>
After some consideration, Mike replied, “You can give it a shot. Serenity is acting tough because Ms. Stone is defending her.” Serenity remained unaware of the Hunt boys’ plan to use Mr. York against her.
She expressed her gratitude to Elisa, saying, “Thank you for standing up for me, Ms. Stone p>
Elisa replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. We’re friends. Don’t be a stranger. I’ve got your back. That’s what he gets for threatening my people. He won’t learn unless I teach him a lesson p>
“Serenity, don’t reconcile with them. They’re a terrible bunch. They will never recognize their mistakes. Even I can’t confront them effectively p>
It seemed Ms. Stone had some insight into her own reputation.
Jasmine concurred with Elisa, feeling overwhelmed by recent events.
She had encountered too many examples of the worst kind of individuals. Serenity’s relatives and Hank’s family were truly something else.
“I won’t make peace with them unless they issue a public apology p>
Serenity stood firm. Since they had tarnished her and her sister’s names online, she expected a formal response.
A public apology online was required in exchange for reconciliation. Without it, there would be no agreement. Even if Serenity managed to mend things with her relatives, it wouldn’t be long before another conflict arose. She planned to take her relatives to court to reclaim her parents’ home once her issue with Liberty was resolved.
