Chapter 464
Josh was talking to Julian. Although they were second cousins, it did not prevent them from being close–knit brothers.
A bodyguard in a black uniform entered the room while walking in front of the two men, and said respectfully, “Mr. Julian, Mr. Josh. Mr. Zachary York is here.”
“Let him in.”
The bodyguard responded respectfully and turned to leave.
Josh pointed to the yellow envelope on the table. “Zachary’s here to collect that.”
“He came in person because he wants to meet me.”
Julian instructed the butler to make tea and serve some fruit to the guest.
Julian often used his family’s influence to help Josh. In fact, it was to help Zachary. Zachary knew that very well, so he came in person to thank Julian.
“Zachary wanted to come and see you long ago, but you’ve been busy and you’re always away from home, so he hasn’t had the chance.”
“Since he’s your friend, he’s also my friend. Friends help each other, so he doesn’t have to stand on ceremony. I’m glad that you’ve proven your value in York Corporation.”
Julian patted Josh on the shoulder. “Work hard, but don’t just focus on work. You should start thinking about marriage. Your mother keeps talking about how you still don’t have a
girlfriend at your age.”
“Julian, you’re older than I am, but you don’t have a girlfriend either, so why should I worry?”
Julian said, “Nevermind… Forget I said anything.”
The bodyguard from earlier invited Zachary in.
Zachary’s security detail helped to carry the gifts that Zachary brought and silently retreated
to the entrance.
“Zachary!”
Josh stood up and walked toward him.
Julian got up too but he let Zachary approach him. Josh introduced them, and the two men stretched out their right hands.
“Julian, nice to finally meet you.”
However, Waltham Electronics and a subsidiary of York Corporation were competitors, and Zachary wanted to take the opportunity to suppress them.
Once Waltham Electronics could not hold back any longer, York Corporation would hand over the evidence of Hank’s side income and threaten them that they could keep their company if they fired Hank and Jessica.
Waltham Electronics‘ boss would have hated Hank and Jessica to the core by then because they caused the company trouble for no reason. He would then make life difficult for the cheating
pair.
That way, Zachary could suppress his opponent while dealing with Hank and Jessica, killing
two birds with one stone.
Zachary took out the evidence of Hank’s transfer of property from the envelope. After reading it carefully, he was fuming.
He heard from his grandmother that the divorce agreement Hank prepared stated that the house and the car belonged to him and that he did not have much savings. Therefore, he was only willing to give Liberty thirty thousand dollars.
Adding up all of Hank’s savings, including the money he spent on Jessica, Zachary calculated that it was roughly more than two million dollars.
If Liberty filed for divorce and divided their property, she could get at least a million dollars.
