Chapter 826
Brandt and the maids did not even dare to breathe.
After a long time, Zachary raised his voice and ordered Brandt, “Go and bring my phone charger for the
missus.”
“Yes, sir.”
Brandt quickly went to get the charger for Serenity.
Was Zachary allowing her to charge her phone a sign that he would let her leave?
In fact, Brandt also felt that Mr. Zachary should not keep Serenity under house arrest and that he
should let her leave so that they could both calm down.
However, he did not dare say such a thing.
Serenity was too important to Zachary and he was afraid she would never come back if she left.
That was why he forced her to stay with him. However, that would only aggravate the couple’s conflict.
Brandt soon returned with the charger.
He handed it to Zachary.
When Zachary passed it to Serenity, he could not help but grab her hand when she took the charger,
begging, “Seren, don’t bring up divorce again, okay?”
Serenity drew her hand back and took the charger.
She turned away and plugged in her phone.
Zachary panicked when he did not get the assurance he wanted. He knew she was still thinking about
leaving him.
He could not comprehend. Yes, he lied to her, but was his true identity not worthy of her? Why did she
want a divorce after knowing the truth? An ordinary person would be jumping with joy if they found out
their husband was a multi-billionaire.
Zachary’s lack of understanding blinded him from seeing Serenity’s anger stemming from his web of
lies and his betrayal of her trust.
When faced with Serenity’s wrath, Zachary’s approach made her feel incredibly uncomfortable.
He explained himself, but he used force to knock her out. She wanted to leave, but he deliberately
threw the keys and the ladder out. His actions told her that she would not be able to take a single step
out of this villa without his saying so.
He was imprisoning her!
To Serenity, his series of actions was like pouring gasoline on a burning house. There was no way she
could calm down, much less forgive him.
In any case, she would not be able to forgive him anytime soon.
“Seren.”
Zachary walked toward her.
Serenity turned on her phone. When she saw him walking over, she put down the phone and walked
away.
She just did not want to get close to him.
Her detachment and coldness were like a sharp knife fiercely stabbing Zachary’s heart and his chest
ached.
Serenity entered the dining hall.
She was hungry, so she got something to eat.
She never thought of using a hunger strike to threaten Zachary into letting her go. He was not someone
to be so easily threatened either. If she went on a hunger strike and fainted from starvation, he would
just call the family doctor to give her nutritional fluids to keep her alive.
In his words, he would not let her go. She would still be his in the afterlife.
Since she knew he could not be pressurized, why should she bother to torture herself and starve?
Brandt and the maids looked stunned when they saw Serenity enter the dining hall and started eating
with a spoon without regard for others.
“Thank God the missus isn’t going on a hunger strike,” Felicia murmured.
Brandt raised his hand to wipe his sweat and whispered, “Thank goodness.”
As long as the missus did not threaten Mr. Zachary with a hunger strike, the conflict between the two
would not intensify for the time being.
