Chapter 888
Shawn was taken aback by those words, lost in disbelief.
“You can’t be serious, right? You’re just trying to make me give up. How could Serenity’s husband be Mr. York? I…” Suddenly, Shawn recalled that he had not seen Serenity’s husband since her wedding.
“I have no reason to deceive you. I discovered this information recently, and it was Mr. York himself who told us. He mentioned that he is targeting Lowe Enterprise because you’re infatuated with his wife. Shawn, if you continue to pursue Serenity, the entire Lowe family will be dragged down with you.”
His mother added solemnly, “You don’t need to bring benefits to the Lowe family, but please don’t tarnish Lowe Enterprise’s reputation.”
“Zachary… Mr. York’s name is Zachary?”
Shawn was in shock.
Mr. York was Serenity’s husband!
“It’s understandable that you’re unaware of Mr. York’s name; many people are. But Shawn, his name is irrelevant. What truly matters is that he is Serenity’s husband! Regardless of his status, position, or influence, you should have ceased pursuing Serenity the moment he revealed that he was her husband.”
“She’s a married woman. Your actions could jeopardize her happiness! After discussing this with your father, we’ve decided to send you to the branch office in Havenmill. Whether you become the successor to Lowe Enterprise is now in your hands.”
She sighed and gently reminded her son, “Shawn, you are the most remarkable one in your generation, but if you don’t put in the effort, everything that could be yours will end up in someone else’s hands. I understand you are heartbroken, but don’t prolong your suffering, son. You’re still young. You’ll turn twenty-three next year. There will definitely be better girls than Serenity who come into your life.”
“Mr. York? He only needs to utter a word and raise a finger, and Lowe Enterprise will be in disarray.”
Shawn’s face turned pale as he slumped weakly on the sofa. After a prolonged silence, he bitterly remarked, “I’ll heed your advice and Dad’s.” Serenity would become the source of his suffering.
Jasmine, pulling her wandering thoughts back, felt compassion for her cousin. She spoke on his behalf, saying, “Give Shawn some time. He’ll get through this. He’s still young and will surely move on once he finds his Miss Right.”
Josh vowed, “Whether or not we end up together, I promise that if Mr. Lowe stops bothering our CEO’s wife, I won’t be the one to take down Lowe Enterprise.” He only engaged with Lowe Enterprise at Zachary’s command.
“Shawn gave up upon learning Mr. York’s identity. How many people in Wiltspoon would dare to challenge Zachary for his woman? It would be absurd.”
Zachary and Serenity were legally married. Regardless of who became Zachary’s romantic rival, it would be unethical; the other man would be a homewrecker.
“Seren went to the hospital for a wound dressing. Why is it taking so long?” Jasmine shifted the topic.
She picked up her phone. “I’ll call Elisa and check.”
Josh nodded and also grabbed his phone, sending Zachary the photo he had taken earlier.
Zachary quickly responded with a question mark.
Josh replied, “It’s your wife’s blood. She cut her finger with scissors because of you. Her finger was nearly severed, and her cousin rushed her to the hospital.”
