Chapter 896

“Why are you suddenly thinking about making money? Do you lack money now?”

“I only have a few hundred thousand in my savings account. I don’t lack money, but I’m not considered rich either. Elisa said a lot of things to me. I need to think about the reality gap between Zachary and me.”

Jasmine asked, “Are you not angry at him anymore?”

“Whether or not I’m angry, I still have to think about my future with him.”

Serenity sighed. “I just wanted to find an ordinary man to marry. How did I jump into such a large pit?

Now, I can’t climb back out. Elisa said that even if I sue for divorce, I won’t be able to leave if Zachary doesn’t let me.”

“If you dare to sue for divorce, he’ll imprison you in the house for the rest of your life.”

“Stop bringing that up. It’ll only make me angrier.”

Serenity forked a piece of honeydew’ to eat. “This melon is quite sweet.’

“Of course it is. I picked it out myself. At first, we were all worried that Elisa would turn against you when she found out, but judging by her reaction, she’s still rational. Although she’s also angry, she doesn’t blame you for it.

“If Elisa wants to blame anyone, she can only blame the fact that Mr. York and her weren’t meant to be.

After all, Mr. York never liked her or gave her any promises. She has the right to like Mr. York, and he has the right to reject her.

“You just need to consider the reality between you and Mr. York. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Serenity put down her fork and sighed again. “Let me think about it on my own.”

They were all trying to persuade her.

“Okay, I won’t say anything. You mull over it yourself. Besides, I’ll support you no matter what decision you make. Aren’t you eating anymore?”

“I’m not hungry.”

Jasmine did not force her.

People who were hurt by love were like this. Some stuffed themselves, while others stopped eating and sleeping.

The sky gradually darkened.

There was the sound of footsteps outside.

Soon, they saw Grandma May and Tania walking in.

“Grandma May.”

Jasmine had never seen Tania before and did not dare greet her.

Serenity stood up. “Nana, Mom, what are you doing here?”

Jasmine realized that the person beside Grandma May was Zachary’s mother, also known as Serenity’s mother-in-law.

“We came here to apologize to you. Seren, the person who lied to you first was me. If you want to blame anyone, then blame me. What happened to your hand?”

Grandma May had come over to apologize to Serenity personally.

She was the first person to lie to Serenity.

“I accidentally cut myself with the scissors. It’s no big deal.”

Serenity invited the two women to sit down.

Jasmine poured them some water and sensibly walked away.

Grandma May told Serenity how she had forced and coaxed Zachary to marry Serenity in order to repay her for her kindness.

Finally, she said apologetically, “Seren, Zack lied to you because I started it. If you want to blame anyone, then blame me.

“That’s all I have to say. I won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll go back now.”

Serenity stood up to see them off.

Grandma May and Tania told her not to bother, but she insisted.

After sending them off, Serenity called Zachary. He answered as soon as the line rang.

“Zachary, come pick me up after work. Let’s go home and have a talk.”

Zachary was so nervous his palms were clammy, and he quickly said, “Okay.”
