Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Serenity knew the Brown family too well. She was worried that the Browns and Hunts would come over and cause havoc during
the opening of her sister’s new store.
The last thing anyone wanted on their store’s opening day was trouble.
Serenity asked her husband for help, requesting him to arrange for people to keep watch nearby so they could help deal with any
problems as soon as possible.
Serenity, who was independent and reluctant to rely on her husband, took the initiative to ask Zachary for help. Zachary was
overjoyed and felt that his wife finally thought of him as family.
He immediately agreed.
In fact, he would have arranged for people to keep watch even without her request. Like Serenity, he was also wary of the Brown
and Hunt families causing trouble.
When Jessica saw all the bodyguards from the Yorks and Duncan, her madness stopped at once. Then, she looked into the
store and saw that there were only Serenity, Zachary, and Elisa.
Elisa had ignored her the first time she greeted her. Jessica would never forget that arrogant and condescending expression.
She had a lingering fear of Elisa.
“I-Is Hank here?” Jessica stammered as she asked Liberty.
“You can see for yourself, Ms. Yates.”
Liberty was making eggs benedict for her cousin. She only spared Jessica a glance before going back to going about her own
business.
Jessica did not dare be arrogant and asked softly, “Hank and his mother went out early in the morning. His mom told me they
were coming over to congratulate you on opening your store. Where would they be if not here?”
Liberty said indifferently, “He’s your man. If you don’t know where he is, how would I know?”
Jessica choked.

She looked at the surrounding bodyguards, those on guard and patrol, and smiled sheepishly. “I just came here to look for Hank,
not to cause trouble. Since my husband isn’t here, I’ll leave now.”
Then, she quickly turned around and ran away.
She swiftly returned to her car and drove off.
In her heart, she was thankful that her brother was not willing to cause trouble at Liberty’s shop because he disdained the money
that Jessica gave him. Otherwise, who knew what the consequences would be?
Jessica was grateful, and then she was jealous.
Sure enough, people who had huge backers behind them were different.
Liberty just opened a breakfast diner, but so many people sent her flower stands. The people who sent them must have done so
because of Mr. York and Mrs. Stone. Furthermore, there were so many people keeping watch over the store and protecting her!
“She ran away quickly.”
Serenity snorted coldly.
Elisa said, “What a wimp. I would’ve spared her a glance if she showed the balls she had when stealing Liberty’s husband.”
The two women quietly glanced at Zachary.
With that mountain standing in the way, no one would dare stir up trouble.
With a look from Zachary, the bodyguards went out.
The security guards Duncan hired to patrol the streets also did not say anything and silently went out.
After they left, Serenity said to her man, “I’m surprised there are guards patrolling the street.”
“Half of the stores on this street are owned by Mr. Lewis. He’s worried tenants like us will face trouble, so he hired guards to
patrol the streets and ensure our safety.”
