Chapter 819

The enraged and hateful Serenity who could not get out finally went back into the house and locked herself in a guest room. She pulled out her cell phone, wanting to ask her sister or best friend for help, but found that it had already run out of battery.

“The heavens sure are testing me!”

Zachary did not pester Serenity when she locked herself in the guest room.

He was looking for help too.

He went to Josh out of habit.

Josh had just sent Jasmine back to the bookstore after bringing a charger to charge her e–bike.

“Mr. Bucham, could you ask Zachary what he did to Seren?”

Jasmine was concerned about Serenity, who was forcibly taken away by Zachary.

Josh hummed. “I’ll call him now to ask.”

That being said, Josh had a bad feeling in his heart.

He knew Zachary inside out.

Zachary most likely did not handle it well.

Well, he was suffering the consequences of deceiving his wife.

Of course, he deserved it.

In the beginning, he concealed his identity to examine Serenity’s character. This was something everyone could understand. However, he could have come clean not much later on, but he hesitated and harbored all kinds of worries, prolonging the deceit until now.

It would be weirder if Serenity did not get angry.

Josh was just about to call Zachary when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and said to Jasmine, “It’s Zachary.”

“Answer it,” Jasmine said anxiously, wanting to answer the call for Josh.

Josh picked up the call, and Jasmine leaned closer to listen in on the conversation.

“Josh, help me.”

Zachary said tiredly, “Serenity is really mad. I can’t coax her. I don’t know what to do. Josh, tell me.

What am I supposed to do? She wants to leave me. She’s definitely going to leave me. I’m sure she’ll kick me into the corner and bury me away.

“She even said she wouldn’t have married me if she knew I was the heir of the Yorks. She said she’d rather look for Shawn to lie to her sister. Is she going to be with Shawn after kicking me out of the picture? I’ll never allow it! If she dares go to Shawn, I’ll lock her up in my villa so she can’t leave my sight!”

Josh and Jasmine were speechless.

Jasmine snatched Josh’s phone and said to Zachary, “Zachary, if you want Serenity to calm down, you’d better let her out. Keeping her under house arrest will only make her angrier.

“Even if she wants to leave you, she’ll do it out in the open. She won’t sneak off. Serenity never runs away when things go wrong. She’ll deal with matters between you both openly and honestly.

“Let her come back and confide with her sister. Let her calm down. This is the most important thing you should do.”

Panic crept in again and he yelled in a low voice, “I can’t do it. I’m scared to do it. It’ll be hard for me to see her again if she leaves. She’s my wife, so she should live where I live. I’m not imprisoning her.

She’s just staying in our house!

“She’ll leave me. She said before that a true farewell is done without saying a word. She’ll leave quietly without disturbing me. If I let her out of this villa, she’ll immediately pack her bags and go far away.

Where will I find her if that happens?”
