Jasmine smiled and said, “If you don’t have any admirers, I’ll think there’s something wrong with you.”Josh said, “I’m absolutely healthy in every way!”“Mr. Bucham, you look healthy on the surface.”Josh opened his mouth but did not know how to answer her.He could not possibly say that she could give him a go to see if he was healthy, right?It was inappropriate to flirt with someone like this on a blind date, so Josh decided to shut his mouth.Josh, who had always been articulate, was suddenly speechless when he was with Jasmine.He thought, ‘This lady who made her name by passing out at a banquet is really something!’…...Grandma May, Mrs. Lane, and Liberty rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard what happened.The police finished taking down the statements and left. Chelsea, George, and Matthew were summoned to the police station.That was when Chelsea found out that her eldest son had caused such big trouble.Chelsea did not dare to tell her brother but told he

Liberty said, “How could Matthew be a good kid if he has a mother like Chelsea?”Serenity said coldly, “Liberty, we’ve reported this to the police. Although we can’t make Matthew go to jail, we can ask Chelsea and her husband to compensate us. No matter who tries to intercede or apologize, don’t accept it and insist on getting the compensation.”Liberty said fiercely, “How else can we make them pay in addition to the compensation? He beat up my son! Seren, did you break his hands when you saw him?”“Callum and the rest forced George to teach his son a lesson. George beat Matthew to a pulp and slapped him with a belt. Callum said that Matthew was covered in wounds and looked quite wretched after the beating.“They also trashed the Reptons’ house.”Liberty said furiously, “I really want to kill that monster.”Serenity thought the same.However, they had to be rational. They did not touch Matthew but only let George teach Matthew a lesson as a father.After going through so much,

Zachary was silent and let his brothers make way for Hank.Hank immediately took his parents into the ward.Liberty hugged Sonny, removed the ice pack, and let Hank take a look at Sonny’s face. Sonny’s face was still red and swollen even after having applied ice for some time now.A child’s skin was tender, so it would not heal so soon after being beaten, especially when Matthew pounded him so cruelly.Seeing his son’s swollen small face and fearful eyes that used to be clear and bright, Hank was so distressed that he cursed Matthew. Hank had rarely spent time with his son, but he was heartbroken at the sight of this.“How could Matthew do this?! I really wasted my time raising him.”Mrs. Brown wanted to touch Sonny’s face, but Sonny was so frightened that he immediately turned around and buried his head in his mother’s arms. He clutched his mother’s shirt tightly with both hands and screamed in fear. “Mommy! Mommy!”Liberty slapped away her mother-in-law’s hand and said coldly,

Sonny did not want Hank to touch him and firmly grabbed onto Liberty’s clothes.Liberty hugged Sonny and avoided Hank’s outstretched hands.“Hank, if you still feel sorry for your son, please take your parents and leave now! I don’t expect you to stand up for Sonny, but don’t scare him anymore. He’s frightened enough…”Liberty choked up again.Hank looked at his son.Mrs. Brown wanted to say something but was held down by her husband. She looked at her husband and saw that his face was gloomy, so she shut her mouth.After a long time, Hank said, “We’ll go back then. Liberty, take good care of Sonny. I promise that I won’t take Sonny away again before his custody is decided.”Even if Hank took Sonny, he had no time to take care of his son. He could not rest assured even if he handed Sonny over to his parents either, not unless his parents moved in with him.However, Jessica said she did not wish to live with her in-laws in the future.Although Hank and Liberty did not agree on

Hank said, “Chelsea, you’re…”Before Hank could finish, his father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reached out and snatched Hank’s phone.“Hank, focus on driving.”Mr. Brown instructed his son in a deep voice before he said to his daughter over the phone, “How dare you ask Serenity for compensation?!”Chelsea heard her father’s voice and shouted aggrievedly, “Dad, George was forced to beat up Matthew.”“Your son made a mistake. So what if his father beat him up? I hit you too when you were young and disobedient.”Chelsea said, “Dad, are you alright? Why does it sound like you’re siding with Liberty and her sister? I’m your daughter!“Even if Matthew made a mistake, he’s still a child. How bad of a mistake can he make? He didn’t kill or rob anyone. He just hit Sonny a few times. Matthew said that Lucas was crying because Sonny beat him. He was standing up for his younger brother and kicked Sonny a few times. How could Sonny end up in the hospital? I think they’re just mak

Mr. Brown added, “So what if they trashed your house? I want to thank Serenity for venting anger on my behalf as well. Chelsea, if you dare ask Serenity for compensation, your mother and I will cut all ties with you. Also, I’ve kept a tab of all the expenses your mother and I have spent on your family, so you have to pay me back!“Since your younger brother had a job, he gave us monthly living expenses that we spent on your household. But look what he got in return! His son was sent to the hospital because of your son!“Don’t accuse Serenity for making a fuss. I’ve asked around myself. Sonny was sent to the emergency room and was treated for a long time. The doctors were cursing the abuser for being ruthless, and I saw how badly Sonny was injured!“We just came out of the hospital. We’re going back to your house to pack our things. Your mom and I will stay in our own home from now on and will no longer babysit your children. Ask your in-laws to babysit them. If not, you can take car
Chapter 461
Serenity and Liberty were unaware of the rare occasion that Mr. Brown sided with Sonny. Sonny’s swollen face subsided slightly after applying the ice pack.He kept crying and wanting to go home.Serenity asked the doctor if they could leave, and the doctor said he could be discharged from the hospital. However, they had to be careful because Sonny might get a fever at night.In the evening, Zachary and his brothers sent Liberty and Sonny home.Serenity was still worried about Sonny, so she brought Zachary to the balcony and said, “Can I stay over with my sister and nephew tonight?”Zachary was reluctant to part with Serenity as he started to have feelings for her and wanted to cling to her 24/7 if he could.However, Serenity was Sonny’s aunt, so he understood that she would want to stay back with Sonny at this time.“Zachary?”Serenity saw his deep eyes that were staring straight at hers. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and he did not speak. Thus, she asked c

Zachary gently let go of Serenity, bowed his head, and looked at her.Serenity gulped.Every time she looked at him, she could not overlook his attractiveness and always wanted to take advantage of him.If he had always been so gentle, she would have jumped him in less than a week.If she was more courageous, she could even try different moves every day.When Serenity was thinking about various ways to sleep with Zachary, Zachary’s deep voice resounded in her ears. He asked, “When did we sign an agreement?”Serenity was speechless.She looked dumbfounded as she was in disbelief that Zachary would say such a thing.“Back when we got our marriage license, you drafted the agreement and asked me to sign it. The contract period was half a year.”Zachary looked calm and said blankly, “Why don’t you recite the content of the agreement for me?”Serenity opened her mouth but could not say a word.After so long, she could not remember much about the contents of the agreement. She only
