Chapter 54
Shawn smiled and reassured Serenity, “I don’t know exactly what’s wrong, but I’ll get your bike fixed. I promise it’ll be as good as new.” Since Shawn was Jasmine’s cousin and had been a longtime friend, Serenity felt comfortable trusting him. “Thank you,” she replied gratefully.
Shawn, eager to help, immediately pulled out his phone and made a call, sharing their location. The only thing left to do was wait for the tow truck.
Meanwhile, across the street, the driver of Zachary’s convoy noticed a familiar figure standing by the road. “Sir,” the driver said, his sharp eyes catching sight of a woman who seemed to be the missus. He turned to Zachary, who had been resting his eyes. “The woman looks like the missus.”
Zachary slowly opened his eyes and glanced toward the woman and the man beside her. From the distance, he couldn’t recognize the man, but the woman’s silhouette seemed familiar. After living with Serenity for a while, he had grown used to her figure.
“Slow down when we pass by,” Zachary instructed, his voice calm but commanding. “I need to be sure if it’s her.”
The driver nodded in agreement. Zachary pulled out his phone, thinking about calling Serenity but hesitated. The convoy slowed down as they approached the intersection.
As the cars cruised by, Zachary’s suspicions were confirmed—it was indeed his wife, Serenity. He realized who the man standing next to her was only after the convoy had moved away. It was Shawn! His love rival.
Zachary’s mind raced with questions. Were Serenity and Shawn together? Had they planned to meet, or was it a coincidence? Despite the many questions swirling in his head, Zachary chose to remain silent, resisting the urge to call Serenity.
The convoy disappeared from view, and Shawn, who had been watching the cars, turned to Serenity with a raised brow. “Did you see those cars? One of them was Mr. York’s exclusive ride.”
Serenity, casually curious, asked, “Which Mr. York?”
“The heir to the York family, the CEO of York Corporation. He was at the dinner party, but you girls were too busy with the food to notice him,” Shawn explained, still looking in the direction the convoy had gone.
Serenity replied nonchalantly, “I don’t move in that circle. I was only there as Jas’s plus one. I wanted to try the food at the seven-star establishment. I doubt I’d ever cross paths with Mr. York or the wealthiest people in Wiltspoon, so I didn’t bother to look for him.”
Shawn nodded, a knowing smile on his face. “People were all over Mr. York that night. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t have been able to see his face.”
Serenity chuckled, then teased, “Shawn, have you met Mr. York? Does he have eleven toes or two heads?”
Shawn laughed at the comment. “Mr. York is a normal man, no extra toes or heads. He’s just above average in looks and has this certain presence about him. I’m flattered that he even talked to me.”
