Chapter 787
Married at First Sight
âDarling, letâs talk about this tomorrow. Itâs already very late and if we make too big of a fuss, we might
wake our daughter up.â
Mrs. Lowe advised her husband and stopped him from kicking at the door again.
âShawnâs in a bad mood so he might have had something to drink in his room. If he gets really drunk,
he wonât be able to hear any banging on the door.â
As of late, Shawn had been getting drunk in his room often. He had a minibar in his room and had
moved all his fatherâs treasured fine wines into his room.
It was precisely this constant drowning of his sorrows in alcohol, which led to his having no mood to
work during the day that resulted in all the mistakes in his work recently.
Mr. Lowe was livid but could not do anything about it and was persuaded to return to their bedroom by
his wife.
Upon entering their room, Mrs. Lowe asked her husband, âDarling, about Mr. York telling us that
Serenity is his wife⦠Do we have to help him keep it a secret? It doesnât look like heâs gone completely
public about his relationship with Serenity.â.
Her niece was Serenityâs best friend and even she did not know Zacharyâs true identity.
Mr. Lowe sat down on the sofa in the room, and said after a moment of silence, âMr.
York already said he and Serenity got married in secret. Since he hasnât gone entirely public about it
and even if we know about it now, letâs not mention it to others, lest he makes things difficult for us
again.
âI knew there was no way York Corporation would just halt all cooperation with us out of the blue like
that. Us being able to work together with them was the result of my long, hard work. And even after
establishing the cooperation, I was very careful. I was so scared our products wouldnât be up to par, I
didnât dare make a single mistake.
âEven with the chance to meet Mr. York at gatherings once in a while, I wouldnât deliberately seek to
flatter and ingratiate myself with him, but I didnât dare offend him either. Although heâs naturally cold
and aloof, heâs a reasonable man. He wouldnât make things difficult for us just because.
âNow I know Shawn was the problem. He must have fallen for Serenity long ago, right? He didnât
confess to Serenity before she had her shotgun marriage, but confessed to her after that and kept
clinging to her. What was the use in that?â
Mrs. Lowe sighed heavily.
âThatâs right. Whatâs the use? I didnât approve of him and Serenity being a couple anyway. Serenity and
Jasmine have a very good relationship and I watched her grow up. I donât hate her, but being a niece is
different from being a daughterâinâlaw.
âThe choice of daughterâinâlaw I have in mind is a young lady of an illustrious family. Other than
looking good, Serenity doesnât have any particular outstanding traits at the moment. Although sheâs
fairly good at making some money, sheâs not in Shawnâs league. We the Lowes are a wealthy family, so
naturally, our daughterâinâlaw must come from a family of equal standing.
âOnly by marrying a young lady of a rich family will it be of any help to Shawn. Serenity canât help him
in any way. Even if we were willing to nurture Serenity into making a deep impression on the industry,
sheâll be only but a daughterâinâlaw. Who can guarantee that if she gets together with Shawn now,
sheâll spend the rest of her life with him? What if we end up nurturing an ungrateful beast?
âNo matter how I tried to advise him, he wouldnât listen. Serenity is probably his first love. Itâs always
hard to forget the first love.â
Mr. Lowe said, âNo matter what Serenity thinks, we canât let Shawn go on like this. We must make him
leave Wiltspoon and stay far away from Serenity. Heâll be able to get over it eventually.
âOtherwise, if this goes on, sooner or later, something big is going to blow up. Mr. York is not a goodâ
tempered person. He hasnât dealt us a mortal blow right now probably because of Serenity. Serenity
has a good relationship with Jasmine and you normally treat her like a niece, so heâs probably scared
that if he completely destroys Lowe Enterprise and Serenity finds out the truth, sheâll blame him.
âBut if Shawn continues to stay the same by bothering Serenity from time to time, and Mr. York finds
out, he wonât show us any more mercy.â
âWhere should we send Shawn?â Mrs. Lowe asked him.
She was internally thanking God she had always treated Serenity well.
No matter what you did, you must leave a way out for yourself.
