Chapter 370
Before Clive had taken over Stone Group, Darrell’s voice was weaker than Audrey’s. The seniors in the company were more than willing to defer to her.It was clear what status Audrey held in Stone Group.“Yes yes yes, I also agree with Elisa.”Jasmine felt that she and Elisa shared the same thoughts.Her mother and aunt had always wanted her to climb up the social ladder.Serenity laughed. “That’s why I found myself a man with similar status and had never expected to marry into a rich family.”Zachary’s salary was a little higher than her income, but he was still a salaryman, so they could be considered to be on the same level.“Since you all say so, ask your husband to arrange the date for me then, Serenity. I’ll meet with his colleague. Maybe this is our fate.”“Sure.”Serenity was quite thrilled to be able to help her friend find happiness.Mrs. Lane was listening in on the trio’s conversation about marriage and agreed with Elisa’s statement.Elisa and Serenity got along w

“Look at that sweet smile. Did your husband send you a message?”Jasmine teased her best friend.She was happy when she saw Serenity and Mr. York getting closer to each other. She was looking forward to the two having a wedding soon so she could be the bridesmaid at their wedding banquet.“Our guest room doesn’t have a bed and cabinet yet. He received a bonus and transferred fifteen thousand for me to buy a bed, closet, bedding, and whatnot. “Mrs. Lane, I’ll take you shopping after Sonny has his afternoon nap, and that’ll be after lunch. They’re for you, so you should pick them out yourself.”Mrs. Lane laughed. “I’m not picky. I’ll be fine with just having a place to stay.”“That won’t do. You have to live comfortably. Your boss gave us money to buy stuff for you, so we don’t have to scrimp and save for him. Pick furniture that’s of good quality.”Serenity thought that if Mrs. Lane did a good job, it meant a long-term employment relationship for them. They would be living toget

Zachary said after a brief pause, “Nana, you really do think in the long run. Tell your sons to put in the effort and give you a granddaughter instead. It might be faster that way.”Grandma May instantly laughed and scolded him, “If your grandfather was still alive, would you say that it’ll be quicker for us to try for a daughter instead? Your parents, aunts, and uncles are already old. How can they give birth to more children? They didn’t manage to get a daughter when they were young, so they can only pin their hopes for a granddaughter now.”“My third uncle and aunt are only in their forties. I think they can still try.”If his third uncle and aunt were here, they would say, “Zachary, you traitor!”“Are you busy now?”“I’m on the phone with my Nana.”“Look, that’s what I mean. You’re not cute at all. You’re not busy, right? If you’re not, I’ll go to the office to find you. Let’s go shopping.”Zachary was at a loss for words.“I’m working, Nana.”“The company won’t close down

Olivia soon walked in while holding Chelsea’s third child.Chelsea was not with her. She probably went back to work.“Sonny, Lucas is here to play with you.”Olivia called out to Sonny while holding her other grandson.“Serenity, Ms. Sox.”She smiled and greeted Serenity and Jasmine. She glanced at them a few more times when they saw the two packing up.Her attention was soon drawn to Elisa.Elisa did not put Sonny down and asked him, “Who is she, Sonny?”Serenity straightened up and said in a light tone, “Why are you here, Aunty?” Then, she told Elisa, “She’s my sister’s mother-in-law and Sonny’s grandmother.”She emphasized on the word “grandmother”.Elisa looked at Lucas, who Olivia was holding, then looked at Sonny. Sonny only greeted his grandmother once and nothing else. He was obviously not close to his grandmother.She guessed the relationship between Liberty and her mother-in-law was not pleasant.“Sonny usually has no playmates, so I went back and brought Lucas
Chapter 374
Serenity said coldly, “Who is Lucas? What has he got to do with me? Sonny is my nephew. I can’t possibly let him suffer to coax someone else’s child. What did Sonny do wrong? It’s your other grandson who was raised badly. He always bullies Sonny, steals his toys, beats him, and brings his toys back home. You’re their grandmother, right? Are you blind?“Or is this what you usually teach him? Olivia, Lucas is your grandson, but so is Sonny. You’re too biased!”Olivia was speechless.She responded, “Sonny is still young, Serenity. Besides, Sonny has so many toys. What’s wrong with giving Lucas one or two to play with? Look, Sonny, your brother is crying. Share some toys with him to play together, okay?”Sonny hesitated.Elisa said to him, “Sonny, you don’t have to force yourself if you don’t want to share. If he likes to cry, he can cry as much as he wants. Since he wants to roll around and clean the floor, we’ll let him do as he pleases. It’ll save your Aunt Seren the need to mop th

Serenity’s expression was gloomy. “I also wished that she was his step-grandmother. That way, it would not be that hurtful. Unfortunately, she’s his real grandmother.”Her nephew’s grandmother and her own grandmother were comparable to each other.After a pause, she added, “That old woman brought Lucas over so he could infect Sonny. If Sonny gets sick, my sister will be too worried to go to work. She’ll definitely take time off to take care of Sonny, but she has just started her job. If she keeps taking time off, it’ll be difficult for her to keep this job.”The Brown family was really doing everything to keep her sister from returning to the workplace.Now that her sister had a job, she should bring forward her plans to divorce. The earlier she divorced, the faster she could get a new lease on life.“Serenity, why does your sister’s mother-in-law not want her to go to work?” Elisa asked.Serenity walked back with the broom. When she saw Sonny walk out, she bent down to pick her

“Liberty, now that you have a job, you can ask Hank for a divorce.” Serenity advised her sister to file for a divorce as soon as possible.Jasmine and Elisa both echoed, “Divorce early and start anew.”Liberty looked down at her son’s tender little face and nodded firmly. “I’ll wait for Hank to get off work tonight and ask him for a divorce.”She already had the evidence of Hank’s affair.When she first got the evidence, she did not immediately fall out with him because she was still unemployed and without an income. It would not be conducive for her to fight for the custody of her son.The New Year is around the corner. Initially, she wanted to wait until she got her first paycheck before bringing up the divorce. However, her mother-in-law’s behavior today made her unable to tolerate it anymore.She could bear with it no matter how they treated her, but she could not tolerate them harming Sonny!When her mother-in-law and sister-in-law came over two days ago, she heard Chelsea

Sonny soon fell asleep in his mother’s arms.Liberty took the opportunity of him sleeping and handed him over to her sister. She was extremely grateful that Serenity and her husband hired Mrs. Lane to help her take good care of Sonny.She could not stand on her own feet yet, but she would remember Serenity and Zachary’s kindness. She would repay them well when she could stand on her own again.Liberty then went to work.Elisa received a phone call from a friend. The others did not know what the friend said, but after Elisa took the call, she said goodbye to Serenity and Jasmine before leaving in a hurry.“Jasmine, you watch the shop with Sonny first. I’ll take Mrs. Lane to buy some bedding products.”Serenity had not forgotten that she had to buy a bed, cabinets, and bedding for Mrs. Lane.“Sure.”Jasmine agreed easily. Business would be idle until the students finished their classes in the evening.She would always read novels to pass the time.Mrs. Lane said, “Ms. Hunt, you
