Hank was waiting outside, but he kept staring at the two women in the café for fear that Liberty would suddenly go mad and beat up Jessica.He was relieved when he saw Jessica coming out and hurried over to meet her.“Jessica, she didn’t do anything to you, did she?”Jessica touched her face and said, “Just the slap from earlier. After you left, she didn’t touch me again.”Hank was slapped by Liberty too.He was distressed as he said, “Jessica, I won’t let her touch you ever again.”He then asked, “What did she say to you?”Jessica looked around. The two of them were standing on the sidewalk with many passersby, but no one paid any attention to them.When she saw Hank’s concerned eyes, she asked, “Hank, do you want to see me suffer?”“Why would I want to see you suffer? I want to divorce Liberty because I don’t want you to suffer anymore.”Hank took her hand. “Jessica, did she yell at you? I’ll go in there and settle this with her.”“No, it’s not that.”Jessica pulled Hank
Jessica pouted and said, “Anyway, I don’t want Sonny to share too much of your fatherly love with my future child.”She did not want Hank to spend his money on Sonny.Jessica hoped that Hank’s future income would be spent on their small family–her and her children.“Liberty gave birth to Sonny, so she’ll definitely do her best to raise him and educate him well. It’ll be better for Sonny’s development. If you fight for Sonny’s custody, your parents will take care of him. Do you think your parents can educate Sonny well?“A lot of grandparents spoil their grandchildren. Of course, if you want to see Sonny become someone who achieves nothing in the future, then forget what I said. I just think it’s better for Sonny to follow Liberty. You’re so busy with work, so how can you have time to teach Sonny?“Children need a lot of attention and care. It takes a lot of effort to educate and nurture them. If Sonny didn’t turn out to be successful, others will put the blame on you and me. They’
Liberty heard what Hank said. Although she was disappointed that they could not finalize the divorce right away, she still agreed to his arrangements since it was only another day’s wait.She handed the two signed divorce agreements to Hank and said, “Take a look. If there’s no problem, just sign your name.”Hank took over the divorce agreement.In addition to the conditions she stated earlier, Liberty also promised that she would destroy all the evidence she had on the day of their divorce and promised that she would not take revenge on him.Hank was fine with it. He was just sad that he had to give Liberty more than a million dollars and his son’s custody.However, after some thought, Hank knew that he would earn the money back, so he just had to put up with it.“I’ll sign it.”Hank said in a deep voice, “See you tomorrow.”Liberty nodded.Hank looked at her deeply for a moment before he hugged Jessica and prepared to leave.After taking two steps, Hank stopped and turned h
Liberty’s tears suddenly streamed down her face.Her mother was unaware that her sister never gave up looking for her when she was alive.She did not get to reunite with her sister before she died.“Seren, spend some time with Mrs. Stone. I’m going back to see Sonny.”Liberty said as she suppressed the pain and quickly hung up the phone.She then squatted on the ground and covered her face to cry.Many passersby looked at her, but no one stopped for her.The owner of the café saw Liberty and knew that Liberty had borrowed her laptop to print out a divorce agreement. She thought Liberty was upset because of the divorce, so she came out with a box of tissues.“Miss…”The café owner patted Liberty on the shoulder. When Liberty looked up at her, she handed the tissues to Liberty and comforted her. “He doesn’t care about you anymore, so you should let him go. That way, you’ll feel better, and you can start a new life.“If you’re sad, cry it all out. You’ll feel better afterward.”
Liberty nodded and answered, “I took a few days off. Sonny was frightened, so I wanted to stay with him.”“Then what are you doing here? Where’s your son?”Liberty was speechless.Should she tell the truth?Duncan looked around, but he did not see the strong and smart little boy.However, the boy was afraid of him. Every time he saw Duncan, he was so afraid that he would burrow into Liberty’s arms as if Duncan was the devil.“Sonny is taking a nap at home. Mrs. Lane is watching him, so I came out to run some errands.”Duncan hummed and asked, “What kind of errands?”When Liberty hesitated to speak, he laughed and said, “If you can’t tell me, then forget it. I was just being nosy because I happened to see you passing by and remembered that you took leave.“Well, carry on with your business. I’ll leave now.”Duncan retracted the large hand that was on Liberty’s bike, turned around, and left.“Take care, Mr. Lewis,” said Liberty.Duncan did not look back but raised his hand in
He could still act.“Josh and Callum, you two accompany the clients back to the company. I’ll go over and talk to Serenity.”Zachary instructed the two in a low voice then walked toward Serenity in large strides.The bodyguards naturally did not dare follow him.“Did Mr. York see someone he knows?”The few clients watched in amazement as they saw Zachary walk toward an unfamiliar woman.After all, unless it was family, he usually kept women at least three meters away from him.“Yeah, they’re acquaintances.”Josh smiled and ushered the clients toward their cars.Seeing that Josh did not plan to elaborate, they knew their place and stopped asking.“Seren.”Zachary walked up to Serenity and stretched out his arms to straighten her jacket. “What are you doing here? Did you come here just to wait for me because you knew I was meeting clients for business here?”The rain stopped at noon but it was still cold.Serenity saw the throng of men in suits getting in their luxury cars a
Earlier when the entourage appeared, Serenity did not notice Jim leaving to the back of the hotel to hide.She also had no idea that the man sitting beside her, who had been caring for her and gave her all the tingly warmth in the cold, was actually a superb actor. She said to Zachary, “My sister called earlier. She and Hank had agreed on the conditions for the divorce.”“How did it go?”“All the properties under Hank’s name will be divided equally with my sister. She’s not asking for the house and car, but he has to compensate an additional sum of money to her. Sonny’s custody will belong to my sister, and he has to pay three thousand per month for child support.“His request is that my sister will give him the evidence against him, including all copies she made. He also made her promise not to retaliate against him after the divorce.”“What did your sister say then?”“She agreed, but she only promised that she would not retaliate against him herself.”“She’s giving us the ch
“Liberty is still going through the divorce and hasn’t completely secured her job yet. Let’s help her pay for the rent in the meantime.”Zachary was more than willing to simply hand over a house for his sister-in-law and her son to live in. Liberty was the person closest to his wife, so he would not mistreat her.However, he could not do that now.Thinking of the sisters’ characters, even if he gave Liberty a house, she would not accept it.“My sister will get more than one million dollars worth of assets from Hank. She won’t let us pay the rent for her.”The sisters supported each other, but they would not take it for granted.Both the sisters would not pluck the moon from the sky for each other to go overboard in providing help; they simply respected and supported each other where necessary.Zachary did not say anything.Soon, they arrived at York Corporation.Zachary stopped the car and looked sideways at Serenity.Serenity was looking at him too and grinned. “We’re at you
