“Alright. I got it. Carry on with your work.” Catching up to the group, Callum approached his cousin and said, “Zack, Mr. Zen told me that he saw your wife with Mrs. Stone and Miss Stone a few minutes ago. They picked the supreme lounge for lunch.” The lounge was the most exclusive private dining room at the Wiltspoon Hotel. Those with thin wallets would not pick the supreme lounge to dine in. Nevertheless, Serenity had to pick the supreme lounge to wine and dine with Mrs. Stone. “Got it.” Zachary was not at all surprised by the news. “We won’t run into each other,” Zachary commented in a husky voice. He would normally take the clients to the presidential suite on the top floor which was on a different floor from the supreme lounge. Zachary had a private lift that was not available to hotel guests unless he brought them in himself. There was no chance for the couple to meet unless it was at the lift. Callum kept his mouth shut, seeing that his cousin was confident.
“Do you think we’d turn out fine if Serenity’s husband was related to the wealthiest Yorks? Your sister-in-law would’ve trampled all over us with the help of Mr. York.” Thinking about the bad things he had done, Hank believed Jessica had a point. Hence, he quickly let go of the matter. Mr. York was way up there while Serenity was not even worth the mention. She was not blessed in life to become Mr. York’s wife. The pair were lovey-dovey as they walked out of the hotel. Hank and Jessica came across Liberty at the hotel entrance. Liberty was alone. While Sonny was asleep, Liberty left Mrs. Lane at home to look after Sonny, so she could wait for Hank and Jessica here. Liberty only lay in wait here for them because she deduced through the information and evidence provided by Zachary that Hank often brought Jessica to dine at the Wiltspoon Hotel. Although she had a falling out with Hank, it still hurt Liberty badly. After tying the knot with Hank, Liberty gave him a son, ran
Jessica gave Hank a tug and asked, “What does the fat cow want to talk to us about?” “She didn’t agree to my terms of the divorce. I guess it’s probably to further talk about the divorce.” The divorce proceedings would take some time. Liberty probably did not want to wait for another second after what happened to Sonny. Hank took Jessica to his car. Once they got into the car, Hank leaned over and heartbrokenly caressed Jessica’s face. “Does it hurt?” “What about you?” Hank felt his own cheek. “It hurts, but the thing with Sonny got her riled up. I can take a slap from her so she could let off steam.” Jessica touched where she was slapped and said, “Hank, since she’s in a rush to finalize the divorce, the odds are in your favor to name your terms. It’d be best if she gets nothing.“Let her go to court to file for divorce if she’s not willing to accept your terms. We have the time and money to drag this out.” Hank answered, “Sure. Let’s go see what she wants to talk abo
Liberty said, “It’s none of your business where I got these, Hank. If I showed your boss all the commissions you’ve been taking, do you think you can still be a manager at Waltham Electronics?”Serenity reminded Liberty not to show Hank the evidence but to scare him verbally.Liberty knew Hank well enough and felt that Hank would not feel threatened if there was no evidence. So, she made a copy of the evidence that Zachary’s friend had collected.Even if Hank tore it up, she could still make a lot of copies.With such evidence, Hank was willing to give in and discuss the divorce terms with Liberty just so he could keep his job.Liberty had no idea that Zachary had instructed Josh to suppress Waltham Electronics and what awaited Hank and Jessica was an employee termination letter.Hank’s expression was extremely distressed as he stared at Liberty.Liberty used to work at Waltham Electronics as a finance director. At that time, she was more capable than Hank and he could not admit
However, her beauty faded as she gained weight.Hank was responsible for Liberty's deterioration.“Liberty, what do you want?” Hank softened his tone and asked.“Give me the original copy of this evidence and I’ll try to meet your request as best as I can. Then, we can part on good terms.”Now, Hank had nearly two million dollars in savings.If he did not talk it out with Liberty, she would sue him, and the evidence she had was to her advantage. Hank was at a disadvantage, and the court would most likely force him to share half of his assets with Liberty.If Liberty handed over the evidence of Hank accepting commissions to Hank’s boss, Hank would not be able to keep his managerial position even if his boss did not fire him.Besides, Hank received commissions from his customers and helped them do things that cost the company losses. If his boss investigated him and found out about this, Hank would not be able to keep his job.His boss might even spread the word about his behavio
After a long silence, Hank said, “Liberty, if I agree to your condition of dividing the property, will you really give me all the evidence you have and promise not to report me to my boss?”“As long as I get what I deserve, I promise that I won’t take any revenge against you.”However, Liberty could not guarantee that Serenity or Zachary would not do anything.After pondering for a while, Hank said, “I can give you the money, but can’t give you Sonny’s custody. Sonny is my flesh and blood, and my parents love Sonny.”“I won’t give up on Sonny’s custody.”Hank was afraid that if he gave Liberty the custody of Sonny, his parents would kill him when he returned home.Besides, Sonny was his son and his only child at present, so he was reluctant to give up Sonny.Liberty raised her hand and splashed her unfinished juice on Hank’s face.“Hank, how do you still have the nerve to fight for Sonny’s custody? How dare you claim Sonny as your flesh and blood and your parents’ grandson. Jus
Hank was worried that Liberty would get rough with Jessica if he was not there.When Hank thought about the day Liberty caught him and Jessica in the hotel that night, his legs felt weak. Liberty was brutal when she beat up Jessica.Liberty said coldly, “I don’t want to get my hands dirty by hitting her. Don’t worry, I’ll return her to you in prime condition.”“Liberty, why can’t I be here when it’s our business?”Hank was still worried.Liberty fought back when he hit her and dared chase him down a few blocks with a knife. This made Hank realize that Liberty was capable of anything when she was angry.“This is a negotiation between a wife and a mistress, so a scumbag like you can f*ck off.”Hank was speechless.He glared at Liberty, got up reluctantly, and walked out.Once Hank went out, Jessica raised her hand and brushed her hair away before she asked, “So, what do you want to talk to me about?“Liberty, Hank loves me now, so if you don’t want to make this worse than it al
Liberty said, “Ms. Yates, you’ll probably marry Hank after we get divorced. You’re both young, so it won’t be long before you have your own child. Are you willing to let Sonny share Hank’s fatherly love with your child?“Even if Hank said that his parents will take care of Sonny in his hometown, his parents will definitely feel sorry for Sonny and favor Sonny over your child. They’ll also ask Hank to spend more time with Sonny and treat your child differently.“Are you willing to let your child suffer like that?“If I take Sonny, I will only ask Hank to pay three thousand dollars a month for child support. Hank doesn’t need to care about anything else. I won’t blame him even if he doesn’t see Sonny again in the next decade. This will be the best solution with the least impact on you and your children.“You don’t have to see the kid that Hank and I share all the time either. I’m guessing that when you look at Sonny, you’ll think of my past with Hank. Hank and I have known each other
