Zachary was at a loss for words.
There was no denying that Elisa was Clive’s sister; the similarity between the siblings was unmistakable. Upon learning that he was Serenity’s husband, both of them behaved as if they had seniority over him due to being Serenity’s older cousins.
He ended the call.
The closest hospital to Wiltspoon School was Wiltspoon Community Hospital. Without needing to check, he could surmise that Elisa had taken Serenity there.
Elisa was unfazed by Zachary hanging up on her. She helped place Serenity’s phone back into her purse and said, “Seren, your mom is my aunt, which makes us cousins. The DNA test confirmed it, so it’s a fact beyond dispute.
“I’m a year older than you, which gives me seniority over you, right? Since Zachary is your husband, it follows that I have seniority over him as well. You need to make sure he addresses me more respectfully; otherwise, I won’t feel better p>
Serenity chuckled and replied, “It’s his mouth; I can’t control what he says if he doesn’t want to comply p>
“You must control him! If you don’t, he’ll keep looking at me with that sulky face and speaking to me coldly! I may not be his wife, but being his older sister isn’t so bad. Hahaha! I just want him to treat me with respect p>
She took a seat next to Serenity, glanced at Serenity’s injured hand, and said with concern, “Did you hurt your hand because you were angry at Zachary p>
“Of course not. No matter how upset I get, I would never harm myself. It truly was an accident. I might have just applied too much pressure out of frustration p>
its kind in the entire province p>
Elisa added enviously, “The Johnsons from Annenburg are similar to the Yorks in Wiltspoon, but I’ve never heard of a third family like theirs. In any case, the York family is at the pinnacle. The family members are thriving and united; they’re truly exceptional p>
“It’s okay to argue with Zachary for a few days, but don’t let it drag on. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you lose him. Look at me. I focused on him and was infatuated for so many years. I even dreamed of marrying him at one point, but we weren’t meant to be p>
“Of course, you should consider his actions before deciding whether to forgive him. If he mistreats you, such as imprisoning you or knocking you out like he did before, then it’s reasonable to stay upset for a few more days p>
Elisa acknowledged that Zachary was deserving of a lifelong commitment. After all, she wouldn’t have been infatuated with him for so long if she hadn’t believed that.
“Seren, there’s no one else here. I’m older than you by a year, as well as your cousin. Even though we recently met, I felt an instant connection with you and have considered you a close friend for some time. What I’m telling you comes from the heart p>
“You won’t divorce Zachary, will you? You might consider it in a moment of anger, but he would never agree. If he doesn’t consent, it wouldn’t matter even if you tried to sue him for divorce; his word is law in Wiltspoon p>
“Since a divorce isn’t an option, you need to face the reality of your relationship. Before, you didn’t know he was from the York family and thought he was just an ordinary salaryman, so there was no disparity. Now that you know his true identity, the clash of two different worlds has created a gap in reality p>
“Trust me. It’s
Being a noblewoman is challenging. You must cultivate your strength. I believe that through hard work, both you and Liberty can become stronger. You both possess an indomitable resilience.
“You cannot be satisfied with your current situation. For those noble ladies, your monthly income barely covers the cost of a bag. In the future, you will represent not only yourself but also Zachary. As the mistress of the York family and the wife of the future head of the family, your role is significant.
“My mother was an orphan who rose through her own efforts. However, she faced many challenges when she first married my father. My grandfather respected and admired her, but my grandmother behaved like a typical mother-in-law, often making life difficult for her daughter-in-law.
“My mother fought hard against my grandmother. It was only when the Stone Group encountered a crisis that my father could not handle, and my mother stepped in to save the day, along with the births of my two brothers, that my grandmother finally accepted and acknowledged her.
“My mother always says that women should be self-sufficient. We must be strong and not rely on anyone else. That is the only way we can stand firm and avoid being mistreated in this harsh and unjust world p>
