Holden had told her that Clarissa had feelings for Mr. Jimenez, who was nearly a hundred years old—more than twenty years older than her mother.

They were having a meeting to discuss how to counter Clarissa's schemes
They hadn't intended to involve Hayden, but she was upset when Kevin kept her out of the loop feeling excluded. Though she and Kevin weren't married yet, they were engaged and planning to wed after the New Year. She insisted on being included, as she considered herself part of the York family.
Even though this matter was mainly Serenity's family business, Zachary's involvement meant the York family was also entangled, which brought in other powerful families from Wiltspoon. That's the influence of in-laws. Ashburn X
