Chapter 635

Back at Brynfield, Zachary gently carried Serenity out of the car.

“Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Lane is staying with the missus’s sister,” said Jim.

Zachary huskily replied, “I don’t need Mrs. Lane. I can take care of her.”

He carried Serenity into the building.

Jim waited until Mr. Zachary was inside the building before driving away.

Zachary took notice of his loafers at the front of their house. His gaze deepened as his mind harked back to when they got married. She did the same thing to send a message that there was a man in the house. It was a safety precaution.

Although Serenity was a good fighter, it was better to be safe than sorry.

“Stand here, Seren. I need to grab the keys and open the door.”

Zachary put Serenity down, but she was too drunk to stand still. She would collapse to the ground the moment he let go. Zachary immediately grabbed ahold of her.

Putting his arms around her waist, Zachary guided Serenity to lean on his shoulder. He tried to feel the keys with his free hand but felt nothing. He reached out to his other pocket, but nothing.

Did he forget his house keys from leaving in a rush?

Zachary reached into Serenity’s pocket, but there were no keys either.

Serenity would not leave the house without the keys. There were only two possibilities-she either left her purse with the house keys at the bar or in Jasmine’s car.

Zachary called Josh right away. After Josh picked up the call, he said, “Can you help me to contact Ms.

Sox, Josh? Ask her if Serenity’s house keys were left in her car.”

“No problem. I’ll ask her right now. No, I’ll drive to the Soxes’ house and retrieve the keys for you.”

Josh was more than happy to run the errand for his boss.

Although it was past eleven o’clock at night, it was still early for night owls like them.

Josh hurried to the Soxes’ residence.

He had never been to the Soxes’ home, but he knew where it was.

As Zachary’s head of intelligence, he knew everything he needed to know about Jasmine.

By the time Josh made it to the Soxes’ residence, Jasmine had a good shower and was ready for bed.

The sudden call from Josh came as a surprise to her. Nevertheless, she took the call and said, “My brother must have sent you the text message, Mr. Bucham. We’re home safe and sound.”

Her brother messaged Josh once they were home. Jasmine watched him tap on the send button.

“I know you got home safely, Ms. Sox. Zachary and his wife went back and realized they didn’t have their house keys with them. They asked for my help to retrieve the keys from you. Are Ms. Hunt’s house keys in your car?”

Jasmine stared at her best friend’s purse. “I think the keys were left in my car. I was thinking of delivering them to her tomorrow. Doesn’t Mr. York carry the house keys?”

“He rushed home when he found out his wife went drinking at a bar. He was in so much of a hurry that he forgot his house keys.”

The anxiousness and feelings Zachary had for Serenity tonight did not go unnoticed.

Josh was hooked on the whole drama tonight.

Jasmine asked out of curiosity, “How did Mr. York know Serenity went out drinking when he was away on business?”

“I guess he asked Mrs. Lane. Mrs. Lane must have known you girls went drinking. He came rushing back.”

Jasmine remembered Mrs. Lane was at the shop when Serenity talked about going out to get a few drinks. It erased any doubt she had.

“Hang on for a second. I’ll get dressed and hand Serenity’s house keys to you.”

“Sure.”

Jasmine swiftly changed her clothes and grabbed her best friend’s purse as she went downstairs.

She took Serenity’s crafting supplies from her boot and handed them all together to Josh, requesting that he deliver them to Brynfrield.

Josh stared at the individual building behind Jasmine. It was a five-story building with a yard. It was too dark to get a good view of the furnishings. Nevertheless, Josh noticed the fancy chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the lobby.

The Soxes’ residence must be decorated rather lavishly.
