Chapter 464
Married at First Sight
Josh was talking to Julian. Although they were second cousins, it did not prevent them from being closeâknit brothers.
A bodyguard in a black uniform entered the room while walking in front of the two men, and said respectfully, âMr. Julian, Mr. Josh. Mr. Zachary York is here.â
âLet him in.â
The bodyguard responded respectfully and turned to leave.
Josh pointed to the yellow envelope on the table. âZacharyâs here to collect that.â
âHe came in person because he wants to meet me.â
Julian instructed the butler to make tea and serve some fruit to the guest.
Julian often used his familyâs influence to help Josh. In fact, it was to help Zachary. Zachary knew that very well, so he came in person to thank Julian.
âZachary wanted to come and see you long ago, but youâve been busy and youâre always away from home, so he hasnât had the chance.â
âSince heâs your friend, heâs also my friend. Friends help each other, so he doesnât have to stand on ceremony. Iâm glad that youâve proven your value in York Corporation.â
Julian patted Josh on the shoulder. âWork hard, but donât just focus on work. You should start thinking about marriage. Your mother keeps talking about how you still donât have a girlfriend at your age.â
âJulian, youâre older than I am, but you donât have a girlfriend either, so why should I worry?â
Julian said, âNevermind⦠Forget I said anything.â
The bodyguard from earlier invited Zachary in.
Zacharyâs security detail helped to carry the gifts that Zachary brought and silently retreated to the entrance.
âZachary!â
Josh stood up and walked toward him.
Julian got up too but he let Zachary approach him. Josh introduced them, and the two men stretched out their right hands.
âJulian, nice to finally meet you.â
âZachary, Iâve heard a lot about you. Now that Iâve met you in person, I believe that youâre just as legendary as they say.â
The two men shook hands, and Julian asked Zachary to have a seat.
âMr. York, you donât have to come bearing so many gifts.â
âDonât worry about it.â
Zachary often asked Josh to help him investigate things, which utilized the Buchamsâ network of information. The Buchamsâ intelligence is controlled by Julian, and Josh helping Zachary was equivalent to Julian helping Zachary.
Julian was usually elusive, so Zachary never had a chance to meet him. It was a rare occasion. that Julian was at home tonight, so Zachary hurried over.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Josh picked up the yellow envelope and handed it to Zachary.
âThis is the evidence you wanted. If we didnât dig into it, we wouldnât have known how shocking it is.
Your scumbag brotherâinâlaw has more than one million dollars in his savings.
âHis appetite is also getting bigger, so he earns more side income. I think itâll be exciting to hand this evidence to his boss.â
In fact, there was no need to suppress Waltham Electronics. As long as they handed this evidence of Hank accepting bribes and commissions to Waltham Electronicsâ boss, Hankâs managerial career would be over.
However, Waltham Electronics and a subsidiary of York Corporation were competitors, and Zachary wanted to take the opportunity to suppress them.
Once Waltham Electronics could not hold back any longer, York Corporation would hand over the evidence of Hankâs side income and threaten them that they could keep their company if they fired Hank and Jessica.
Waltham Electronicsâ boss would have hated Hank and Jessica to the core by then because they caused the company trouble for no reason. He would then make life difficult for the cheating pair.
That way, Zachary could suppress his opponent while dealing with Hank and Jessica, killing two birds with one stone.
Zachary took out the evidence of Hankâs transfer of property from the envelope. After reading it carefully, he was fuming.
He heard from his grandmother that the divorce agreement Hank prepared stated that the house and the car belonged to him and that he did not have much savings. Therefore, he was only willing to give Liberty thirty thousand dollars.
Adding up all of Hankâs savings, including the money he spent on Jessica, Zachary calculated that it was roughly more than two million dollars.
If Liberty filed for divorce and divided their property, she could get at least a million dollars.
