Serenity nodded, and also reminded him, “You need to put your jacket on too. If you get sick, there are jabs waiting for you every day.”
Zachary was speechless for a moment. “With you constantly monitoringlike this every day, how could I dare let myself get sick?”
Those few days of daily injections were enough to strike fear into him for the rest of his life.
Zachary went back into the bedroom to get Serenity’s jacket and put on his jacket too.
After coming out of the room, they heard a phone ring. It was not Zachary’s phone but Serenity’s. He saw Serenity scoop her phone out and look at it for a long while before doubtfully picking up the call.
“Hello. May I know who this is?”
Zachary figured it was an unfamiliar number just by hearing her ask that question.

Serenity asked again, “May I know who this is?”
“Serenity, it’s me.”
A familiar voice filtered through the phone and Serenity’s expression turned ugly as she was about to hang up immediately.
“Serenity, don’t hang up! I just want to talk to you for a bit. I’m not going to disturb you and go to see you. Serenity, I’m about to go mad because I haven’t been able to see you,”
Shawn Lowe begged over the phone, hoping Serenity would not hang up.
He endured it for a very long tmainly because he was afraid his mother would really act against Serenity in revenge, so he resisted the urge to see her even if he was going crazy from missing her. He had not dared go see Serenity at the bookshop nor call her because his mother had his phone tapped.
Right now, he had spent a big sum of money to bribe one of the bodyguards who were supposed to be watching him and borrowed the man’s phone to call Serenity.
It had been incredibly difficult to make this call.
Serenity hung up without another word.
Shawn Lowe had not appeared before her for a long time, nor had he called her. She knew this was all Jasmine’s effort. They thought this would make Shawn give up on her and start a new life.
Unexpectedly, Shaun called her.
“Who called?”
Zachary noticed her expression did not look good, and other than asking who the person on the line was, he did not say another word. He was curious.
As he draped his jacket over her shoulders, he asked, “Was it a crank call?”
“It was Shawn Lowe.”
It could be considered a crank call.
Zachary frowned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn Lowe still had not given up?
Mr. Lowe, Shawn’s father, had tried to meet him multiple times to discuss the halted cooperation between their companies. He had been too busy and had not met Mr. Lowe yet.
However, the discordance between York Corporation and Lowe Enterprise was clear for all to see.
Mr. Lowe was under immense pressure.
The conflict between Lowe Enterprise and York Corporation would not make the former collapse in the short term but would still incur losses. The shareholders of Lowe Enterprise had clooking for him one by one to ask him what the hell had happened.
Everything had been just fine, so how did they end up falling out with York Corporation?
What really made Mr. Lowe angry was their rivals taking advantage of this situation
to make their move.
York Corporation put on a show of bluster to make it seem like the two groups had fallen out to become enemies, which placed overwhelming pressure on Lowe Enterprise, and with that their rivals would stir into action.
What Zachary was doing was essentially borrowing the hands of another to strike at them.
Zachary decided that once Serenity had fallen asleep, he would invite Mr. Lowe out to meet that very night and hint to him the real reason their companies were now in conflict.
Lowe Enterprise was truly in a sorry state at the moment. Zachary and Josh had wanted to continue, but Josh was pursuing Jasmine and Mrs. Lowe was Jasmine’s aunt. They had a good relationship and if Zachary and Josh really drove Lowe Enterprise into bankruptcy and drowned in debt…
