Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were also a source of unrest for the family. The elderly couple anticipated financial support from their relatives during the holidays since their savings had been depleted by Old Mrs. Hunt’s hospital expenses. They felt uncomfortable without any money, prompting them to seek financial assistance from the family for their retirement.
John remarked, “Dad, Serenity’s husband is the York guy. He’s Mr. York, the heir to the York family—the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. He’s worth billions p>
Chris stared at his son in disbelief, struggling to comprehend his words.
Was Serenity’s husband truly the heir of the wealthiest Yorks?
A billionaire?
This implied a significant amount of money.
“Is that true, John p>
“I swear. His interview was on TV. We’ve met Zachary, and the reporters referred to him as Mr. York. It has to be him. It is him p>
Once Chris received the confirmation he sought, he slapped his lap and declared, “I’ll go find your grandparents right now. That settles their retirement fund. Serenity’s husband is rich. How much is he worth again? Billions! I’ll have your grandparents ask her for money; she doesn’t need to give much to support them p>
“Well, I’ll have your grandparents ask for more since the money will be ours to split once they’re gone p>
Chris had it all figured out.
Why should they miss out when their niece married a billionaire?
It slipped Chris’s mind that their relationship with Serenity and Liberty was beyond repair.
Ignoring his son’s concerns, Chris left John behind and rushed to find his parents at Serenity’s parents’ home.
Serenity had no idea how people who had met Zachary but did not recognize him would react to the interview. All she knew was
She urgently needed to see Zachary. In her haste, she drove too quickly and rear-ended another car. Fortunately, the damage wasn’t severe. The other driver wanted to call the police and file an insurance claim, but when Serenity got out to assess the situation, she pulled out all the cash from her purse—several thousand dollars—and handed it to him.
“I can’t stay to resolve this; I have an emergency, sir. This should cover the repairs. You can reach me if it’s not enough,” she said, giving him her number.
The driver inspected the dent on his vehicle. It wasn’t an expensive car, and the damage was merely cosmetic. The repair would cost at most two thousand dollars, but Serenity had given him more than enough to cover it.
Noticing her distress and urgency, the man remarked, “You don’t look so well. Please be careful on the road p>
“Thank you, sir. I’m so sorry about the accident. I really need to go; it’s urgent,” she replied.
“Go ahead. Stay safe,” he said.
Serenity returned to her car and sped off. Despite driving recklessly for the rest of the trip, she arrived at York Corporation unscathed. She pulled the handbrake and leaped out of the car, racing into the office building.
The security guard intended to stop her, but upon recognizing her, he thought better of it. If someone like Serenity, who typically had no interest in entertainment news, had watched Zachary’s interview, then surely the employees of York Corporation had seen it as well.
Though everyone was aware that Serenity was the CEO’s wife, the CEO had only announced it publicly that day. Serenity rushed into the building.
“Ms. Hunt?” the two receptionists called out, halting her in her tracks.
She paused to catch her breath after running too fast. A receptionist stepped forward to pour her a glass of water, while another moved a chair closer for her to sit on. “Are you looking for Mr. York, Ms. Hunt?” the receptionist asked. “He hasn’t come in today and is not in the office.” This was indeed the truth.
