Chapter 438
Josh said casually, “When do you want it?”“The sooner the better, of course.”“I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Is that too late?”“That’s fine.”Tomorrow was when Liberty and Hank would be talking about divorce. It would be advantageous for Liberty if she held evidence of Hank’s assets.“You’re really going all out for your sister-in-law. I don’t see you working so hard for your own company.”Zachary was silent for a moment and said, “Serenity is full of gratitude to me now.”“Gratitude is not love. You have to do more for her to fall in love with you. However, if you can help solve her sister’s problem, she’ll feel that you’re an amazing person. She’ll grow more dependent on you, and her heart will be moved subconsciously.”Josh did not have a girlfriend, but his analysis was clear and logical.After the analysis, he asked Zachary, “Did you fall in love? Don’t try to make your wife fall in love with you without the intention of loving her back. That’s called playing with her f

Alas, Zachary only thought about it and did not act on it. His pride stopped him from doing something that sneaky.Thus, he tossed and turned, and finally got taken away by the sandman.Meanwhile, in an apartment, Hank was fumbling around the bedside table for a pack of cigarettes. He then pulled out a stick, and was just about to light it up when the woman next to him reached over. “Give me one too.”Hank handed the cigarette to Jessica and helped her light it.“Just smoke once in a while.”Hank was not a heavy smoker and only smoked when he talked business with clients. Usually, he did not smoke unless he had something on his mind.Liberty did not like men who smoked all the time because she felt their breath stink.Jessica smoked, but she pretended to be virtuous and never smoked in front of Hank. However, Hank and her had gone all the way, and he was also preparing to divorce Liberty for her sake.Thus, Jessica did not think it was necessary to hide it anymore. Hank would f

Jessica was upset but did not show it. After all, she was not his wife yet, so she could not say too much lest Hank resent her. Her future husband’s family might also have a problem with her.Sonny was just over two years old. He was not sensible yet and could not take care of himself. If he lived under her hands, she had plenty of opportunities to deal with him, so there was no hurry.“No problem.”Jessica handed the divorce agreement back to Hank. “I’ll print two copies for you. Take them to Liberty tomorrow and have her sign them, one for each of you. On Monday, hurry and go to the City Hall to file for divorce.”Hank laughed. “I’m more impatient than you are.”“I’m not impatient.”Jessica laughed as she helped Hank print the divorce papers.That night, the two people dreamed beautifully, thinking about their happy life after marriage.The night passed without a word.The next day, Serenity woke up and saw the note Zachary left on the dresser. She quickly picked up her phon

Serenity asked, “Where can we send Sonny to?”Hank knew where Serenity lived.They did not have anyone they could depend on in their hometown either. Not to mention Liberty, even Serenity would not be at ease.Jasmine reminded Serenity. “What about Elisa? You can ask Elisa for a favor. She’s the Stone Group’s heiress and lives in a large villa with high security. Moreover, with the Stone Group’s prestige, the Browns wouldn’t dare go and make a scene.“They wouldn’t expect Sonny to be with the Stones. Elisa likes Sonny very much too, so she’ll definitely take good care of Sonny.”Serenity’s eyes lit up. “Right! I forgot about Elisa. I’ll discuss it with my sister later. If she agrees, then I’ll ask Elisa to help take care of Sonny for the time being.”“Elisa has already said that you can go to her if you need help. Serenity, sometimes we’ll have to give in to reality. In this unfair world, it’s easier for the rich and powerful to get things done compared to ordinary people like us
Chapter 442
Serenity said, “Liberty, it doesn’t matter whether the police will be of help, just call them first.”“Okay, I’ll call the police now.”“What about your in-laws?”“They left after Sonny was carried into the car. They probably went to find Hank. He didn’t come home last night.”Serenity thought about it for a while and said, “Liberty, you should call the police first. Zachary and I will go to Hank’s hometown and Chelsea’s house now. They probably took Sonny back to their hometown.”Liberty and Hank were about to divorce, and the custody was not yet determined. The Browns took Sonny away without Liberty’s permission, so if she called the police, the police would most likely be mediators. If none of them compromised, they would just have to wait for the court to resolve it together with the divorce proceedings.Although the Browns were also Sonny’s relatives, Liberty and Serenity had taken care of Sonny since his birth. Sonny did not have a close relationship with the Browns. If Son

Zachary called Callum while he walked out.It was early in the morning, so Callum was still in dreamland.The phone rang for a while before Callum answered.“Zack, what’s up?”Callum opened his eyes to look at the caller ID, then closed his eyes after answering the call.On weekends, Callum had nothing to do and would not wake up until noon.“Callum, please inform everyone except Rowan to go to… Serenity, which expressway do we need to take to Liberty’s in-laws’ house?”“We’ll need to take the XX expressway for around forty minutes.”Zachary said to his cousin on the phone, “You all can wait for me and Serenity at the intersection of the XX expressway. Something happened, and I need your help.”Callum heard that Zachary wanted to gather all nine of the York brothers, except Rowan because he was still a minor.Callum asked with concern, “Zack, what happened?”Why was it necessary to gather all the York brothers?“Serenity’s nephew was kidnapped. Her sister is going through a

Grandma May and Mrs. Lane arrived at Bright Boulevard and went straight to Liberty’s house. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard loud cries which were disturbing the neighbors. A crowd gathered in front of Liberty’s place to see what was going on.“Hank Brown, you b*stard! Give me back my son! Your whole family is despicable! You treat Sonny like a toy and come over to play with him whenever you please. But when you make him cry, you just leave without a word.“Sonny is two years and five months old, but have you guys, as his grandparents, ever bought him a piece of clothing? You didn’t even buy him a toy. Now you’re saying that you miss Sonny? Even if you miss Sonny, have I ever stopped you from seeing him?”Liberty was held down by her in-laws to prevent her from beating up Hank. She struggled desperately as she cried and cursed like a mad woman.Since she fought with her husband’s family before, she no longer cared how disheveled her hair was. Her voice was hoarse
Chapter 445
Mr. and Mrs. Brown could not help their daughter because Grandma May would kick them when they tried to help.The Browns were stunned that an old lady who was almost eighty years old was still so strong and vicious.Under Grandma May’s protection, Liberty and Chelsea had a fierce fight.Chelsea was usually just sharp-tongued. When it came to fighting, she could not compare to Liberty. Liberty’s weight was an advantage in a fight. As soon as she sat on Chelsea, Chelsea could not get up.Liberty finally stopped slapping Chelsea, who looked like a broken rag doll.“Hank, why are you still with such a sl*t?! Divorce her immediately! Kick her out of your house! This is your house, so make her leave!”Chelsea had never suffered such grievance and humiliation. She was beaten violently by Liberty while many onlookers watched. At this moment, her hair was disheveled, and her face was swollen. Her whole body was in pain.“Chelsea.”Mr. and Mrs. Brown hurriedly helped their daughter up. T
