Chapter 629
Zachary gave up on dialing Serenity’s number.
A call from Josh could not come at a better time.
“Where are they drinking, Josh?”
Zachary went right to the question the moment the call was connected.
Hearing the anxiousness in his tone, Josh took the chance to tease Zachary. “Feeling desperate? Do you have ants in your
pants? Can’t wait to get back here?”
“Josh!”
This was the worst possible time to make fun of him.
Zachary was so desperate, he wished he had wings to fly all the way back to Wiltspoon.
Josh chuckled. “I couldn’t pass up on the chance. Only Serenity can bring the anxiousness out of you.”
Zachary had always remained stoic in the face of adversity.
To get Zachary restless was not something Josh could see every day.
“They’re at Neon Nights. They arrived half an hour ago. Jasmine and her young brother are with Serenity.”
Zachary frowned. “How old is Jasmine’s brother?”
Why did Jasmine have so many brothers? Although Shawn was her cousin, they shared a sibling-like relationship. Shawn only
knew Serenity and got the hots for Serenity through her best friend, Jasmine.
Zachary did not want another love rival to come along.
“About three to four years younger than Jasmine. He’s at a legal age. Why do you ask? This is something I should be concerned
about since I can win over her brother to accept me as his future brother-in-law.
“Oh, I get it. You asked because of Shawn. You’re wary of Jasmine’s younger male family members.”

Zachary uttered peevishly, “You can’t understand how I feel since you don’t have love rivals.”
Josh replied, “The way you say it...”
He was at a loss for words.
“Neon Nights? I think the owner of the bar is the head of your household.”
The bar had a mixture of good and bad crowd, but it was a great place to get word on the latest.
“Yeah. It’s one of my brother’s businesses. That’s how I was able to find out this quickly. By now, I guess Serenity must have had
at least six glasses of alcohol. How’s her alcohol tolerance? Can she hold her liquor?”
Zachary solemnly uttered, “I’m heading back right now.”
He then hung up on Josh.
Josh stared at the disconnected phone and mumbled to himself with a smile, “I finally get to see him squirm.”
Putting his phone into his pocket, Josh picked up his car keys and headed out the door. He was going to Neon Nights.
He wanted to chance an encounter with Jasmine to see if he had the privilege to drive her home.
Serenity was still at Neon Nights.
“How many have I had?”
Serenity counted the empty glasses. “Jas, I think I can have a few more. Strange. I would usually sleep like a log after two
bottles of beer, but I don’t feel anything after taking a few glasses now. I want to get wasted. At least I’ll get to sleep until morning
light.
“Jas, did you order me fake alcohol?”
Jasmine replied, “Neon Nights is the biggest and most luxurious bar in Wiltspoon. The customers here are of certain social
standing. Not everybody can afford this place.
“How could the place sell fake alcohol? You have a lot on your mind. You’ll only feel the kick from this sort of liquor later. You
might feel nothing now, but the alcohol will hit you hard later. You’ll be knocked out until tomorrow afternoon.

“Still, you should stop now. Your sister will yell at you when she finds out.”
Although the sisters were close, Liberty would not hesitate to give Serenity a piece of her mind when the latter did something
wrong.
Jasmine had the pleasure of witnessing Liberty lay it down on Serenity. The way Liberty came at Serenity was fiercer than
Jasmine’s mom toward herself.
Serenity replied reluctantly, “I’ll stop after a couple more drinks.”
Jasmine sighed. “Two more drinks, and you’ll be knocked out cold.”
