Chapter 803
While Serenity and Jasmine took off from the shop, Liberty got a ride from Duncan and arrived at Wiltspoon School in no time.
Since school was still out, it was dead quiet near the school grounds and the shops nearby the entrance were not open for business either.
Liberty noticed the door to her sister’s bookshop was shut.
“Why is it close?”
Liberty got out of the room and approached the shop. She pounded on the door, but there was no response whatsoever from inside. Pulling out her phone, Liberty gave her sister a call.
Serenity was bent on storming to York Corporation and getting answers from Zachary. Was he really the heir of the wealthiest York family?
Too caught up in her clouded thoughts to hear her phone ring, Serenity did not pick up her sister’s call.
Liberty had to call Jasmine. Jasmine was in mid-pursuit of Serenity on her e-bike, but her ride was losing speed.
Jasmine had charged the battery of her e-bike a few days ago, and the battery was running out!
With her phone ringing, Jasmine stopped at the side of the road and took Liberty’s call.
“Liberty, Seren’s making her way to York Corporation to look for Mr. York. She’s not in a good place right now. I’m worried she might get into an accident, but my e-bike can’t keep up with her, and now the battery on my bike is running out.”
Jasmine regretted riding her e-bike to work. She should have driven her BMW.
“I got it. I’ll hurry to York Corporation now.”
Since her sister was on her way to York Corporation, Liberty turned on her heel and made it back to the car. Seeing that Duncan was on the phone, she waited patiently instead of urging Duncan to drive.
Duncan was on the phone with Zachary. He heard Liberty’s conversation with Jasmine and he knew the jig was up for Zachary.
Judging by the way Jasmine was describing it, Zachary exposed his own cover.
He found the courage and strength before accepting the interview.
Zachary thought Serenity would not find out until at least tonight because she was not into gossip. Serenity usually received second-hand gossip from Jasmine.
It never occurred to him that the news would reach her so soon.
Did she see the interview, or did it come from someone else?
Riding in the Rolls Royce, Zachary appeared calm on the surface, but his nerves were showing through his clenched fists.
Multiple scenarios ran through his head of what the verdict would be.
Would she accept the newfound fact after a series of questioning, or would he get the death sentence from her?
It crossed his mind to give Nana a call so Nana could help smooth things over.
