Chapter 2096
Mr. Brown scolded his daughter. “Sonny’s going to his aunt’s house. Liberty will be busy with her work and won’t have time to look after Sonny, so she needs Serenity’s help to take care of him. If you want Lucas to go over, who’ll look after your child? Lucas is so naughty. If he were to damage something, would you be able to pay for it?”Wildridge Manor was a vast property that belonged to the wealthiest family. It was a place where ordinary people like them could never enter. They did hear about how beautiful and luxurious the place was. Every decoration in the York family’s house was valuable. Lucas was mischievous and loved to wreck things. If he were to damage something in that house, it would be impossible for them to compensate for it, even if Chelsea’s entire family sold themselves. Chelsea pouted and did not say anything else after getting scolded. Liberty would never bring Lucas to Wildridge Manor either. She still remembered how Lucas and his brother used to bully
Chapter 2097
“Chelsea and her mother continued to cause chaos even after Sonny’s dad married Jessica. I try to stay as far away as I can from her. I would be a fool to have a meal with her, let alone hire her as a supervisor for my store.”Liberty was traumatized by Chelsea’s shamelessness. Duncan replied with a hum and lowered his head to look at Sonny, who was sitting on his lap. He stopped talking to Liberty about the Brown family. After exiting the inpatient building, he asked her, “Where will we have our meal?”“We should go somewhere better since it’s my treat. Where do you usually go? If you’re used to dining at that particular place, I’ll treat you to a meal there.”Duncan smiled. “I usually had my meals at Wiltspoon Hotel in the past.”He was good friends with Zachary. It was a given that he would help Wiltspoon Hotel with its business. Duncan was not involved in the food and beverage industry. He felt the competition was too strong, and they could never compete against Wiltspoon
Chapter 2098
Chelsea’s two elder children were in their growing stages. They were big eaters and had not eaten a big meal in a long time. Chelsea and George needed to let the children eat if they brought them to a restaurant, which required money. Chelsea reminisced, saying, “We’re reaping what we sowed, hubby. When Liberty and Hank were still married, we enjoyed good food without needing to spend money. Hank would provide our parents with an allowance while our parents would support us with their money.“I like eating expensive food like beef and seafood. Liberty would buy them whenever I mentioned it to her, and I could eat as much as I wanted. She’s completely ignoring me now and even refuses to give me a job.”George wanted to say something but decided against it. He missed the old days too. George and Chelsea only had to focus on working while his in-laws cared for the children. His in-laws’ pension and the allowance provided by his brother-in-law would go to their family. Therefore,
Chapter 2099
The Yates family did blame Jessica for stealing her household register and getting married to Hank, but they did not want her to die. Therefore, after a discussion, they decided to hire a lawyer for their daughter. They hoped their daughter could be given a light sentence. Jessica’s brothers and sisters-in-law did not really want to help her, but their parents scolded them for some time. Hence, they had no choice but to promise their parents. Everyone chipped in some money to hire a lawyer for their sister. Chelsea and George were not mistaken. The old couple was indeed Jessica’s parents. They had come to the hospital to beg their son-in-law to be merciful and let their daughter off. Their daughter could get a lighter punishment if their son-in-law were willing to produce a letter of forgiveness. However, Mr. and Mrs. Yates would surely be met with Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s obstruction and scolding if they wanted to do so. On the other hand, Liberty was unaware of everything
Chapter 2100
Audrey held the remote control and kept switching channels. She told her husband, “TV series nowadays are terrible. They’re not as good as the ones in the past. All actors and actresses look almost the same to me. Are my aesthetics and tastes outdated?”Darrell smiled. “You never liked watching TV shows, nor did you have the time to watch them. When could you ever understand dramas?“Play some music instead.”His wife was a superwoman. Before she retired, she prioritized work and was busy with her business every day. How could she have had the time to watch television?The kids were young back then. After finishing work, his wife also had to pay attention to the three children’s homework. It would already be late at night by the time the kids went to bed. She neither had the mood nor time to watch the television as she still had to wake up the next day to work as usual.After their eldest son was capable enough to take over Stone Group, the couple retired and stayed home. They no
Chapter 2101
After Audrey spoke, Elisa and Remy rushed in. The butler had told them that Clive wanted them to return. Therefore, they rushed back, thinking something had happened.“Mom, Clive, what’s wrong?” asked Elisa as she walked over.She saw her parents and brother’s grim expressions. Her mom seemed to be holding some documents. She went to her mom’s side and sat down. Then, she took the papers from her mom’s hand and asked, “What are these, Mom?”Remy looked toward Audrey. He was concerned too. He sat down somewhere near Clive. Although Elisa’s side could still fit another, he regarded that Mrs. Stone had not accepted him yet. It was only her attitude toward him that had improved slightly. Therefore, he did not dare to be too close to Elisa when Mrs. Stone was around. “Everything’s fine. Your brother had investigated some people of the Fisher family from Jensburg and brought the findings to me. Weren’t you at Remy’s place? How’s the renovation going?”Audrey glanced at Remy bef
Chapter 2102
After a moment of silence, Elisa asked, “Are we really not able to find any evidence at all?”“That’s the case for now. Maybe it’s because of the short time. We might be able to find something if we take it slow, but there’s not much hope. After all, decades have passed. Even if there were some loopholes, they would’ve been eliminated and their traces wiped clean. Maybe everyone who knew something was dead.”Elisa kept quiet. Audrey told her daughter, “You don’t have to worry about this, Elisa. I have time. I’ll search for evidence slowly. It can surely be found one day as long as the current matriarch did commit the crime.”“Mrs. Stone, I can let my brother know about this and request help from my sister-in-law’s brothers to investigate this matter. We can ask for Mr. Zimmer’s help too.”Hudson Zimmer was the Houston family’s son-in-law. The Houston family had the same capabilities as the Buchams. “I’ll let you all know when I need your help.”There was strength in numbers.
Chapter 2103
Elisa knew Julian was not serious about her. Additionally, she came from a wealthy family. She never lacked any of the expensive items as her family was loaded. That was why she did not fall for him. Besides, Elisa would always throw every gift Julian sent over aside from the bouquets. As for some other stuff, she would pile them together and never touch them. She intended to return all the gifts to him when he was no longer out of his mind. Elisa gave it some thought. She would have to wait until she was engaged or married to Remy before she could return the gifts to Julian with Remy. If she were to return the presents to Julian right away, then his father would find out. The Stone family knew how crazy Mr. Bucham was. Mr. Bucham was bent on rescuing his eldest son. If he knew Julian was interested in Elisa, he would disregard Elisa’s willingness and propose a marriage between the two families. Julian’s actions were already causing her a headache. If Mr. Bucham was also in
