Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 821
“Let me calm down, Zachary. I’ll call you back when I think of a solution, but your mustn’t do anything to hurt Serenity again.
Otherwise, you really won’t be able to get her back.”
Josh was so angry with Zachary that he wanted to hurry up and hang up the phone. so he could calm down. He did not want to
burst out in expletives in front of Jasmine since he was trying to maintain his good image as Mr. Bucham.
After what happened to Zachary, Josh decided to be one hundred percent sincere when treating Jasmine. He would not lie or
deceive her as Zachary did to Serenity.
He ended the call before Zachary could respond.
“Why did you hang up? I still wanted to persuade him. Judging by what he said, he’ll only make Serenity angrier. She might even
start to hate him.”
Josh said, “Didn’t you hear what he said? Even I’m speechless and getting angry too. I need to take a step back. How did I get a
boss with a negative EQ like him?
“Ugh, why is my life so hard?!” Josh sighed.
He never once complained no matter what problems Zachary asked him to solve.
However, when Zachary sought help for his relationship problems, Josh got a headache.
The main problem was that Zachary’s domineering attitude that he had had since birth was acting up again, and at full blast.
“I have a feeling that they won’t make up for at least a few months.”
Jasmine thought the same and said, “The Serenity I know will bring up divorce, but I can guarantee that she won’t run away from
this problem. She’ll definitely talk to him about the divorce.”
Maybe she was even writing the divorce agreement at this moment.
Hearing Jasmine’s words, Josh hurriedly said, “Jasmine, you have to persuade Serenity not to divorce Zachary, or many people
will die, and the first to bear the brunt is me. I’m courting you now, so you won’t want me to die, right? If I die now, other people
might say that you’re a jinx who kills men who try to pursue you.”

Jasmine slapped his arm and scolded him. “You’re the jinx! I’ve always been lucky in my life. My mom had my fortune read and
said that I would be rich and prosperous in the future. I’ll have burlap sacks full of money and a fortune of over a hundred
million.”
Josh grinned. “That fortune–teller is accurate. You’ll be rich and prosperous if you marry me. If you like keeping money in burlap
sacks, I’ll buy two dozen sacks for you and take out all my savings so you can keep them in the sacks. You won’t just have a
hundred million. You’ll have several billion.”
Jasmine slapped him again. “In your dreams. Why are you thinking about marriage when I haven’t even agreed to be your
girlfriend? After what happened to Serenity now, I need to examine you properly. If you’re also full of lies like Mr. York, we can
just stay friends.”
She wanted to say that they would not even be friends, but considering how he knew a lot of gossip which could satisfy her
curiosity, she decided to remain friends with him.
“No, absolutely not. I’m much more sincere than Zachary. Besides, our situations are different. We know who each other are, but
Zachary was nagged by his grandmother and forced to marry Serenity.
“It’s actually very normal for him to conceal his identity. I think many people will understand his actions.”
Jasmine said, “It’s normal to conceal his identity in the beginning, and it’s also understandable, but he chose to hide it when he
fell in love with Serenity later on. That’s what’s making her angry.”
“He’s just afraid of losing her.”
“So why did he dare reveal it now? Is he not afraid of losing her anymore? Is he emboldened now because he thought Seren and
him are a real couple?”
Josh paused before saying, “Zachary was conflicted too. He went to Annenburg last year to attend the wedding of FC & Co.’s
boss, and he also asked for advice from Remy. Upon his return, he started making arrangements to come clean.”
