Chapter 793
Zachary wore a tender expression.
The press was stunned.
Mr. York must love his wife very much. The mention of his wife’s name softened, his
facial muscles.
The media captured Mr. York’s gentle side when he was out and about with his wife. In the past, Mr. York would usually be seen
with a sour face, giving off the vibe for people to stay away.
The power of love could turn an aloof man affectionate.
“My wife isn’t some heiress, but she’s the missus of the York family and that makes her royalty. She’s Serenity Hunt and will be
twenty–six this year. She hasn’t had her birthday yet. She thinks she’s old when she hits twenty–six.”
The reporters wanted to scream. Mr. York turned into a chatterbox when talking
about his wife.
Hang on. Serenity Hunt?
“Mr. York, your wife’s Serenity Hunt?”
Shell–shocked, a female reporter sought Zachary for confirmation.
Zachary turned to her with chilling eyes. Pulling his usual straight face, he fiercely refuted, “Do you have a problem with that?”
A simple question from Zachary’s mouth came out rather harshly. The female reporter who posed the question somehow
cowered in fear.
Nevertheless, people in their line of work had met all walks of life. Although Zachary was an indifferent man, he was a man of
culture and would not lash out or kick off unreasonably. The female reporter shook away her fears and carried on the
questioning. “I don’t have a problem with that. I just thought the name sounded familiar.
“Ah, I got it. Is she the girl who went viral on Twitter for being an ungrateful granddaughter last October?”
Having recalled who Serenity was, the female reporter had a twinkle in her eyes. It appeared Serenity was newsworthy, and the
reporter could dig up more about her.
“My wife isn’t an ungrateful granddaughter. Her relatives kicked my wife and her
Chapter
sister out of the house. That family took things too far. My wife was only ten years old then, and her sister was fifteen. They were
only children.
“Not only did the family take most of the life insurance payout from my wife’s parents, but the Hunts also kicked the sisters out of
the house and hogged their parents‘ family home. It was a cold–blooded move. Could you have forgiven the family if this
happened to you?”
The female reporter replied, “Mr. York, I don’t mean any harm. Truth be told, I’m on your wife’s side. Don’t mind the comments
online. They don’t understand the pain. your wife has gone through. The despair and anger were not something they had
experienced. That was why the trolls believed they took the higher moral grounds.”
It never occurred to the press that Zachary’s wife was an orphan.
“Mr. York.”
A male reporter asked, “It’s determined that your wife is the niece of Mrs. Stone. Mrs. Stone hosted a high–profile event to invite
Wiltspoon’s finest to introduce her nieces
to everyone.
“I recall that your wife did not attend that night. You weren’t there as well. Was it because you’re on bad terms with Mr. Stone?”
Mrs. Stone did not oppose the presence of the media at the event the other night.
That was why the media had firsthand knowledge of the grand event.
“Mrs. Stone is the aunt of my wife, which means she’s also my aunt. I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Stone. I didn’t attend the
event not because I had bad blood with Mr. Stone. I was already away on business before Mrs. Stone reunited with my wife as
family. I also fell sick during the business trip. My wife was worried and flew over to take care of me when she found out. This
was the reason my wife and I couldn’t
be there.”
Everybody could imagine Serenity taking an overnight flight and rushing to look after Zachary.
“You’re a lucky man, Mr. York,” the male reporter expressed.
No wonder Mr. York doted on his wife and got famous in Wiltspoon for doing it. If the reporter had a wife who would do anything
for him, he would spoil her too.
