Chapter 614
Finally, Jasmine mustered the courage to shamelessly ask Elisa about Josh. She found out that if Josh truly wanted to mess with someone, that person’s fate would be worse than
death.
His play was to let that particular person lose everything bit by bit and taste despair one. drop at a time. It was a slow torture to the mind.
Therefore, Jasmine was a little worried she would offend him if she rejected him, and he would unleash his anger on Zachary instead.
“I’ll give it a try. Don’t worry, I won’t force myself.”
Although she was worried, she would not actually force herself when it came down to it.
“Seren, did you not go to the Stone residence last night? I was shocked by your sister’s face when she brought Sonny over.”
Serenity’s expression turned resentful at the mention of that incident. She cursed the entire Brown family in her heart.
If not for Olivia and Chelsea picking a fight with Liberty, she would not have gotten into a fight with Zachary again.
Well, with a character like Zachary’s, they would still have conflicts sooner or later. Serenity wondered how many times they had to fight until their sharp edges wore down and stopped being so prickly..
“Jasmine, let’s go to the bar for a couple of drinks after work tonight.”
Jasmine laughed. “You’ve got a lot of guts now that your husband is on a business trip and isn’t home to control you.”
“I can go wherever I want even if he’s home. I don’t control him, and he can’t control me
either.”
Sensing something was off with Serenity’s tone, Jasmine’s smile faded and she looked at her friend’s expression cautiously before asking tentatively, “Seren, did you fight with your husband again?”
got sick.
She heard the young couple almost had a falling out too on the day that she
The reason was Zachary saw her cousin, Shawn, sending flowers to Serenity.
For that reason, Jasmine went to have a long talk with her cousin again.
When she thought of Shawn’s reluctance, she felt a little uneasy inside. She had a feeling that he was not listening to her well–meaning advice at all.
He was trapped in a dead end now with no way forward, but he was unwilling to turn back,
so he was stuck in place.
“No, I just feel depressed lately, so I want to have a couple of drinks at the bar to let off steam.”
Since Serenity did not wish to say more, Jasmine wisely let it go.
Meanwhile, at Lewis & Co., Duncan called Zachary, but his friend did not answer.
When he sent a message, it took a long time before Zachary replied with two words. [I’m busy.]
That meant Zachary was too busy to take his calls.
Duncan felt this was the consequence of him running his mouth last night, and this in return cost him the focus he needed for work.
After some deliberation, he pressed the intercom and instructed his secretary, “Ask Liberty Hunt from the finance department to come see me.”
The secretary immediately made an internal call to the finance department and notified Liberty to see Duncan.
Upon receiving such a notice, everyone in the finance department looked at Liberty.
Plenty of witnesses saw what happened yesterday evening.
As a woman, many sympathized Liberty’s situation and were of the opinion that she had handled the divorce exceptionally.
Of course, those who did not like Liberty would say that she deserved to be abandoned by her husband, so on and so forth.
Liberty put her work on hold before she calmly got up and walked out of the office.
She had just left the office and was not far away when she heard her colleagues mock her for trying to take advantage of Duncan’s help to build connections with him.
She halted in her steps.
