Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Chapter 279
Zachary picked up the maneki–neko once more as his wife said, “I made your maneki–neko bigger than
the one I gave Ms. Stone. I put a lot of effort into it. What do you think? Doesn’t it look lifelike?”
The mention that his was bigger than Ms. Stone‘s made Zachary feel good. However, he did not show it
on his face and simply hummed faintly, “Yes.”
Serenity grinned. “I‘m glad you like them.”
She put her car keys on the coffee table and turned around to head to the kitchen. “I‘m making pasta for
supper. Do you want any?” She then answered on her own before Zachary could reply, “Oh, I forgot. You
don‘t have the habit of eating supper because it adds pounds.”
Zachary thought to himself, ‘… What more can I say? You said it all.
Nevertheless, he was not hungry.
Serenity was boiling a pot of pasta in the kitchen. Zachary stood there for a moment before making his
way to the kitchen door. Instead of stepping into the kitchen, he stood by the door and watched as

an egg and some bacon bits.
She said she enjoyed a bit of grease in her food.
Ring, ring, ring… Serenity‘s phone rang. She stopped what she was doing while murmuring, “Who could
be
calling me at this hour?”
The moment Serenity saw that it was Shawn, she furrowed her brows and took the call. Zachary heard
her saying, “What‘s the matter, Shawn?”
It was a call from Shawn!
Zachary immediately pricked his ears up.
“Serenity, is your brother-in–law called Hank Brown?”
It only hit Shawn why Hank‘s name sounded familiar when he got home. It seemed to be the name of
Serenity‘s brother–in–law.
He immediately called Serenity to verify the possibility. Of course, he had his ulterior motives. It was a
reason for Serenity to feel grateful to him.
“That‘s my brother–in–law‘s name. What‘s wrong? Do you know him?”
Zachary could guess the direction of the conversation at that point. Without interrupting their phone
conversation, Zachary slipped away to his bedroom and called Josh. Once Josh picked up the call, he
asked in a husky voice, “Josh, did you get anything on the investigation into Hank‘s affair?”
“Got it. I was thinking of bringing the report with the photographs to you tomorrow. Hank has all the
intentions of cheating on Liberty, but he and his lover haven‘t gotten physical yet. It‘s more like they‘re
dating without having sex.
“Apart from a few pieces of jewelry, Hank didn‘t give his lover a house or a car. My people took
photographs of them together. There are a few intimate pictures like kissing and hugging, but nothing
more than that.”
Josh believed the secretary, Jessica, was quite a flirt and had a way with men. She was not in a hurry to

him on by playing hard to get. That was the weakness of human nature. People wanted what they could
not get.
“Hank is very frugal with his wife but generous to his lover named Jessica Yates. He often takes her to
the Wiltspoon Hotel for dinner. It makes my job easy to look into their expenses at the Wiltspoon Hotel.”
The Wiltspoon Hotel belonged to York Corporation and was managed by Kevin, who always kept a
friendly front. Kevin had met with Hank before.
“Why did you call me so late into the night to ask about this? What? Did your sister–in–law find out about
her husband cheating?”
“Not yet, but someone swooped in ahead of me to take the credit.”
Josh replied, “… Who would ever do that? Tell me, Zachary. I‘ll teach the person a lesson for you so that
they know the consequences of stepping on your toes.” He wanted in on the gossip.
“Let me guess. Was it your love rival?”
Josh was not dumb. In fact, he was quick to catch on.
