Chapter 629
Zachary gave up on dialing Serenity’s number.
A call from Josh could not come at a better time.
“Where are they drinking, Josh?”
Zachary went right to the question the moment the call was connected.
Hearing the anxiousness in his tone, Josh took the chance to tease Zachary. “Feeling desperate? Do you have ants in your pants? Can’t wait to get back here?”
“Josh!”
This was the worst possible time to make fun of him.
Zachary was so desperate, he wished he had wings to fly all the way back to Wiltspoon.
Josh chuckled. “I couldn’t pass up on the chance. Only Serenity can bring the anxiousness out of you.”
Zachary had always remained stoic in the face of adversity.

“How many have I had?”
Serenity counted the empty glasses. “Jas, I think I can have a few more. Strange. I would usually sleep like a log after two bottles of beer, but I don’t feel anything after taking a few glasses now. I want to get wasted. At least I’ll get to sleep until morning light.
“Jas, did you order me fake alcohol?”
Jasmine replied, “Neon Nights is the biggest and most luxurious bar in Wiltspoon. The customers here are of certain social standing. Not everybody can afford this place.
“How could the place sell fake alcohol? You have a lot on your mind. You’ll only feel the kick from this sort of liquor later. You might feel nothing now, but the alcohol will hit you hard later. You’ll be knocked out until tomorrow afternoon.
“Still, you should stop now. Your sister will yell at you when she finds out.”
Although the sisters were close, Liberty would not hesitate to give Serenity a piece of her mind when the latter did something wrong.
Jasmine had the pleasure of witnessing Liberty lay it down on Serenity. The way Liberty came at Serenity was fiercer than Jasmine’s mom toward herself.
Serenity replied reluctantly, “I’ll stop after a couple more drinks.”
Jasmine sighed. “Two more drinks, and you’ll be knocked out cold.”
