Married at First Sight by Gu Lingfei Chapter 606

Zachary, on the other hand, became more addicted and fell deeper in love with Serenity.

Ring ring ring…

Zachary’s phone rang again.

He thought it was Serenity, but then he saw the caller ID and it was Duncan.

“Duncan.”

Zachary leaned back on the black swivel chair and asked indifferently, “Why are you calling me so late at night?”

“There’s something important I need to tell you. Do you know that your wife has an aunt? It’s Mrs. Stone. It turns

out that the sister Mrs. Stone has been looking for is your mother-in-law.”

Duncan was not as gossipy as Josh, but he loved to watch drama and gloat on the sidelines.

He just felt that he should relay this news to his best friend.

“Stone Group and York Corporation have always been at odds.

Clive and you will never appear at the same place together. The relationship between the two of you is completely

frozen… I just thought of something.”

Duncan muttered in hindsight, “When you treated Clive to that meal back then, did you already know that your wife

was Mrs.

Stone’s niece? Is that why you tried patching up your relationship with Clive in advance?”

Zachary was a little embarrassed and angry that his thoughts were read by his best friend. Fortunately, Duncan was

thousands of miles away and did not know how he was feeling right now.

“I was in a good mood that day, and Clive rarely takes his clients to Wiltspoon Hotel for a meal, so I bought them

lunch. I just wanted them to know that our Wiltspoon Hotel is worthy of its name.

That’s all.

“I’m not a god. How could I know in advance that my mother-in- law is the sister who Mrs. Stone has been looking

for? I only found out just now when I asked Serenity.”

That was also true.

However, he had a hunch that Mrs. Stone’s sister was his mother- in-law who died long ago.

That was why he generously invited Clive and his party to a meal when he met Clive that day.

“What are you going to do now that you know?”

Duncan asked with concern, “Are you going to reconcile with the Stones?”

“Serenity and Mrs. Stone are aunt and niece. They have no influence on the decision-making of York Corporation. A

great man cannot brook a rival. Between York Corporation and Stone Group, only one of us will remain standing.”

Duncan paused before adding. “You’re a businessman through and through. You only talk about profit and never

about feelings.”

Zachary said faintly, “In the business world of deceit, feelings will only be used by the opponent. You’ll be swallowed

and everything will go up in smoke.”

That was unless the Stone Group intended to make peace with him.

Only when both sides took a step back would it be possible to ease relations.

“Elisa has been infatuated with you for years. If she finds out about your relationship with Serenity and with her

explosive personality, will your wife be in trouble?”

Duncan felt that this matter was a concern.

“They’ve become cousins, so maybe she won’t do anything to your wife, but your wife will definitely feel as if she

robbed her cousin’s beloved man. She’ll kick you away.”

Zachary paused before saying, “Duncan Lewis, can you speak a little more tactfully?”

He was overly straightforward.

Duncan laughed. “You know I’ve always been like this. I don’t like to beat around the bush. Do you think I can talk in

circles like Josh?

“Serenity and her sister are strong-natured. If she finds out the truth… I’m having a headache on your behalf just

thinking about it.”

Zachary’s expression darkened as he said, “There’s no need for that. I can handle it myself.”

“That’s good. I won’t be able to help you even if you ask for my help. You can call me if it’s a fight, but I’m not good

at dealing with matters involving emotions.

“Zachary, you can’t deal with emotional problems either, right?

You’re no better than I am in that regard.”

Zachary was speechless.

Duncan had zero tact. His words were stabbing Zachary like a knife.

“By the way, your sister-in-law was in trouble again. Her former mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to the office

to find her, and they had a fight. I guess it won’t be easy for your sister-in-law to live the quiet life she wants. Now

that the Brown family knows that Mrs. Stone is your sister-in-law’s aunt, I don’t know what kind of mishap they’ll be

up to in the future.”

Zachary’s voice instantly turned cold. “Serenity didn’t tell me a word about that!”

She did not treat him as her family!

Duncan froze. Did he say too much?
