Who Cares About Him When I'm Married to the Richest Man?-Chapter 65: Got What He Deserved

In the middle of the night, Zayne Warner dropped Cece off and drove back to the Warner Family alone.

The Warner Family abides by strict rules and values integrity, still residing in an old villa from long ago.

At this moment, Walter Warner, the head of the Warner Family who usually goes to bed by ten, was standing alone in the empty main hall of the villa.

Walter Warner is sixty-eight years old and retired; to avoid suspicion, he never gets involved in business matters, yet he holds all the authority in the Warner Family.

He stood with his back to the doorway, hands behind his back, wearing a traditional robe that was casual yet dignified.

Zayne Warner noticed his father as soon as he entered, slightly surprised, he asked, "Dad, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

Walter Warner turned around, his brows deeply furrowed, and asked sternly, "Where did you go?"

Zayne Warner’s face showed a hint of unease, "I... I went to have dinner with a friend."

"Dinner with a friend? I think it’s more like dinner with a mistress!" Walter Warner’s eyes were full of anger as he harshly threw his phone toward him. "Look at the trouble you’ve caused! You’ve disgraced the Warner Family!"

Confused, Zayne Warner picked up the phone, and in the next second, his expression changed dramatically, "Dad..."

Walter Warner let out a heavy sigh, "If it weren’t for an old friend sending me this to ask what was going on, I wouldn’t have known about these ridiculous things you’ve been doing outside until now! Zayne, you’re no longer young, you should know what responsibilities you bear! Our Warner Family has strict traditions, and yet you’ve done this, treating the family’s reputation as a joke!"

Zayne Warner knew this was a big deal, quickly lowered his head and said, "Dad, I know... It’s not what you think, someone intentionally took those photos, there’s nothing between Cece and me, I have no... "

Walter Warner didn’t bother listening to him and coldly said, "Explanations are useless, now these photos have spread around the Northgarde social circles. I don’t care who that woman is, or what your relationship is, but from today on, you can’t see her again! And for now, don’t go out, stay home and reflect! Also, you need to give Shirley an explanation tomorrow!"

Crystal Harrow is Zayne Warner’s arranged marriage partner, their relationship was quite decent and they were almost engaged.

Zayne Warner knew his father was thinking of the family, nodded without saying anything else.

For people like them, from wealthy families, it seems glamorous, having everything, but in reality, everything is built upon family honor. They seem the freest but are in fact the least free; their studies, friendships, marriages are all not for them to decide.

He didn’t feel it was unfair, people can’t have everything go their way; enjoying the family’s wealth naturally comes with responsibilities. He just felt a bit sad that in the future... he probably wouldn’t be able to meet Cece anymore.

"Dad, I understand, tomorrow I’ll go to the Harrow Family to explain to Mr. Harrow and Mrs. Harrow personally."

Walter Warner saw his attitude was still acceptable, and without further pursuing the matter, he said, "Take care of yourself," then turned and went upstairs.

At the same time, Zion Fitzwilliam also received the photos sent by Felix Ford.

He flipped through them casually.

Elara had just reached a cooperation agreement with Zayne Warner, and Cece met with Zayne Warner. It’s hard to believe there’s no connection here.

To him, such matters are trivial; if it were before, he wouldn’t even spare a glance, but now, with Elara involved, his usually cold heart had unwittingly softened.

After a moment, he smiled slightly and sent a message to Felix Ford on WeChat, "Well done."

Then he called Assistant Harris, "Regarding the Warner Family’s issue, let’s add more fuel to the fire, make it even more chaotic."

If someone wants to challenge him, they better have enough luck.

On the large bed in the villa on the other side of the city, Felix Ford hugged his phone, rolled around twice in excitement seeing Zion Fitzwilliam’s WeChat message. He truly didn’t expect that, in his lifetime, he would hear Fitzwilliam praise him!

What a joyful occasion, worth dying for!

Ah, if he had known that taking a few photos could earn him Fitzwilliam’s praise, he would have gotten closer and taken some videos. If he had captured footage of those two going to a hotel, maybe Fitzwilliam would have even rewarded him or something.

Careless, careless.

Elara knew none of this. The next day, she went to the medical institution as agreed to sign the contract with Zayne Warner, only to be informed that the other party was unavailable and the previous cooperation was canceled. The Warner Family would not be purchasing any products from Zenith Pharmaceuticals.

Vera Ford panicked immediately and quickly asked the receptionist, "Can I ask why? Is Mr. Warner in the company today? I think I need to explain personally, he must have misunderstood us!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The receptionist smiled and said, "Sorry, ma’am, Mr. Warner is not in the company."

"Then where is he?" Vera Ford pressed.

The receptionist still apologetically shook her head, "I’m sorry, Mr. Warner doesn’t report his schedule to us."

Elara and Jean Dunn exchanged glances, both feeling a bit defeated. They knew how important this cooperation was for Vera Ford. If they hadn’t had the opportunity from the start, it would be understandable, but to have it and then suddenly lose it, anyone would find it hard to accept.

Vera Ford turned and looked at Elara, urgently pleading, "Elara, aren’t you schoolmates with Mr. Warner? Could you give him a call to ask? I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. Just ask for a reason; we at least need to understand where the problem lies."

Elara hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, Supervisor Ford, please don’t worry, I’ll make a call to inquire."

She also wanted to find out what was going on, why Zayne Warner would suddenly change his mind.

Fortunately, she had kept Zayne Warner’s number from yesterday, and after calling, it wasn’t long before it was answered, Zayne Warner’s voice came through, "Hello?"

Elara quickly said, "It’s me, Elara Hale. I’m at the suburban medical institution now, but the receptionist told us the cooperation is canceled. I wanted to ask if there’s somewhere that’s not suitable? If it’s the price, we can negotiate."

Zayne Warner gave a polite chuckle and said, "Elara, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but we have a better option now. Let’s leave it at that, and if there’s a chance in the future, we can cooperate again."

He then hung up the phone directly.

Elara looked up, and exchanged glances with Vera Ford and Jean Dunn.

They could all tell, though Zayne Warner’s words were polite, they were obviously perfunctory.

The cooperation was probably indeed over.

Vera Ford, being a bit older and more open-minded, comforted the two, "It’s okay, there are plenty of orders. If the Warner Family doesn’t sign, so be it."

Elara and Jean Dunn felt very frustrated, especially Elara, who thought it was a sure deal, only to be suddenly canceled without an explanation.

She shouldn’t have celebrated so intensely last night, it backfired.

On the other side, just as Zayne Warner put down the phone, Walter Warner walked in, sternly asking, "Regarding the Fitzwilliam Matriarch you previously contacted, are they confirmed to attend your grandfather’s birthday banquet?"
