Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 818
Serenity walked out of the room.
Zachary followed suit. He kept silent and walked behind her without making a peep She went downstairs, and he followed her
downstairs. She went outside, and he followed her outside.
In short, he was like her shadow now.
Serenity walked up to the gate of the villa and tried to open the side gate but found it locked.
Turning around, she looked at him and coldly ordered, “Give me the keys.”
Brandt, one of the bodyguards, and the other servants followed at a distance. No one dared come forward to talk to them.
They all saw how furious Serenity was.
Even her words were like ice.
Zachary was now her shadow.
Zachary took out the key, but instead of giving it to her, he raised his hand and flung it far over and out of the gate.
He shrugged and said, “I don’t have the keys.”
Serenity wanted to explode from anger.
She really wanted to grab him by the collar and give him a good beating.
She looked at Brandt and the others.
Brandt quickly said, “Don’t look at me. I don’t have the keys either.”
Even if he did, he would not give them to her.
The others also hurriedly shook their heads. “We don’t have the keys either. Don’t look at us.”
Have mercy!

Serenity knew that as long as Zachary refused to let her out, those people would not open the door for her even if they had the
keys.
She looked at the heights of the gate and walls.
The gate was a little higher, so it would not be easy to climb over to get out. The walls looked to be around nine foot high.
The walls surrounding his villas were always built that high.
However, that came as no surprise as it was in line with Zachary’s style. He did not like the prying eyes of others.
The high walls could block out snoopy eyes and protect his privacy.
Serenity learned kickboxing, but she did not know how to leap out of a nine–foot–high wall.
She turned and wandered around the courtyard, looking for a ladder.
Finally, she found one in the greenhouse.
Brandt was speechless.
Uh–oh, he should have hidden the ladder.
Serenity was about to pick up the ladder to climb the wall.
“Honey, I’ll handle the heavy lifting.”
Zachary immediately grabbed the ladder that Serenity was about to take, then rushed to the wall with it as fast as he could. Jim
was perceptive and hurriedly moved a high stool for Zachary to step on. Then, Zachary threw the ladder outside.
Serenity was speechless.
“Zachary York!”
Serenity yelled his name through gritted teeth.
“You b*stard!”
All he knew how to do was make her angry.

If he graciously let her leave and allowed her to calm down, they could still have a civil conversation. However, he would not let
her leave at all. He was putting her under house arrest!
