Chapter 539
In the kitchen, Zachary heard every last word of Grandma May’s conversation with Serenity. Zachary was accustomed to his nana’s favoritism toward Serenity. Nana had been hoping for a granddaughter for far too long. Alas, she welcomed nine grandsons instead. Nana developed an instant liking for Serenity and saw Serenity as her own granddaughter. However, the old lady changed her mind at the thought that her granddaughter would have to marry somebody one day. Hence, Nana did everything in her power to make Serenity her granddaughter-in-law, so Serenity would be with the Yorks forever. Zachary washed the dishes and wiped the stove clean. He then cleaned the wiping cloth and washed his hands before coming out of the kitchen. Serenity got up to bring out his jacket and tie. Although she had not gotten the hang of putting a tie on him, Zachary was flattered by her initiative. Zachary felt it was worth it if washing the dishes could earn him a little sugar from the missus.

“Serenity.” Mike and John entered the shop with Granddad. The others were left outside. “Is this your man?” Old Mr. Hunt sized Zachary up for a while, forming the opinion that Serenity’s husband was better than Liberty’s husband. Meanwhile, he was upset as well as his granddaughters did not give them financial support when the girls got hitched. The girls were raised, only to ditch their own family for another. His son would turn over in his grave if he knew what his daughters did. Although the girls’ parents were no longer around, their grandparents, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were. Serenity and Liberty should have provided their grandparents the financial support. However, Serenity and Liberty did nothing of that sort. “That’s your grandson-in-law. What do you think? Isn’t he hot?” Approaching Zachary, Serenity placed her hand on his shoulder and deliberately asked Granddad. “Don’t we look good together?” Old Mr. Hunt was rendered speechless. He asked the old lady. “

Pointing at the door, Serenity barked coldly, “There’s the door. Please get up, turn around, and get out of here, Granddad!“My sister’s affairs are none of your business!“My so-called cousins have approached me many times, so they know what I said. It’s not like they were interested in giving me a sincere apology. All they were after was my reconciliation with you. Whose fault do you think it is?” Seeing that Serenity would not budge, Old Mr. Hunt peevishly told Zachary, “See that, young man? She doesn’t want her family by her side. You’re free to kick her around. Don’t worry, we won’t come for you.” Zachary had a mind to throw the old man out. He had never seen a grandfather like this ever. Despite his disdain for his granddaughter, the old man should not say such a thing. Zachary callously remarked, “I married my wife to love and spoil her, not to pick on her. A man who tyrannizes his wife is no man at all.” “Are you going to get out yourself or should I drive you out

“Why did they stick up for scumbag Hank?” Jasmine curiously added, “Did the Browns give something to make their time worthwhile?” Serenity smirked. “My sister and Hank restructured the terms of the divorce. In line with the new divorce papers, Hank has to give my sister over a million bucks. I guess Mrs. Brown couldn’t part with the money, so she tried to get my granddad to talk to us.” The Hunts were the sisters’ family by name after all. “I wonder how much Mrs. Brown gave my granddad. Well, she’ll never see the money again. She’s usually bright when it comes to setting my sister up, but not this time. I guess she got flustered.” There were no do-overs in life. “Now that the matter’s over, you should get to work, Zachary.” With the Hunts gone, Serenity urged her man to go to work. Although Zachary came with Serenity to the shop, he was not of much help. Serenity packed a hefty punch, so he would usually take a stand back and let her handle it. A certain heir sulkily t

Serenity carried her sleeping nephew while asking her sister, “Have you eaten, Liberty?” “Not yet. I came right after feeding Sonny. I’m pretty done with all the packing. I’ll need to trouble you to drive over and move my things once the divorce is finalized, Seren.“I found a good place to rent this morning. It’s not too far from your place, and the accessibility of public transportation is pretty good in the area. The problem is tidying up the place though. I’ll figure that out once I get the procedures done and out of the way.” The matter at hand right now was getting the divorce finalized. Hopefully, there would be no complications in between. “Have something to eat and rest here, Liberty. I’ll drive you to the bank to meet with Hank. I’ll stay with you until he wires the cash to your account, and then I’ll come back to the shop.” Grandma May jumped in before Liberty could refuse. “Let Serenity go with you, Liberty. We can’t feel at ease if you go alone. That family is s

Grandma May nearly choked on her food. Why did Jasmine include the fiery Stone girl in this? Grandma May would have to stay out from the fun if Elisa was going along. In addition, Zachary would be assigning his security detail to do the house demolition. As Zachary’s number one fan, Elisa would be able to identify the bodyguards, unlike Serenity. All hell would break loose then. It was a good thing Serenity put Grandma May’s worries at ease when Serenity said, “Let’s not involve Elisa since things might turn rough. She’s an heiress, so she probably hasn’t been in this sort of situation. It might scare her.” If Elisa were here, she would refute that as she had seen it all and had nerves of steel. It was a pity her cousin excluded her, blocking her from joining in on the fun. “I think a dozen men should be enough.” Serenity did not want to bother her best friend’s cousins. “We have to make it snappy. We might not be able to remove everything by tonight if we’re too sl

Knowing what hit her sister’s funny bone, Liberty replied, “Who cares if they’ll get along? I’ll have nothing to do with Hank after the divorce.” After a pause, Liberty added, “I’m guessing there’ll be a lot of drama.” “Good! Serves them right!” Serenity admitted she was a bit wicked to anticipate a hard life upon the Browns after Hank remarried. She hoped Jessica would turn the Browns’ lives upside down and give Chelsea hell. Since Liberty did not accept Chelsea’s call, Chelsea sent a text message instead. Liberty had blocked their numbers on WhatsApp, only sparing Hank’s number to discuss the separation matters. Once the divorce papers were finalized, Hank’s WhatsApp contact details would be a permanent fixture in Liberty’s lists of blocked numbers. Liberty deleted Chelsea’s text message without even reading it. She then blocked Chelsea’s phone number, refusing to accept any more calls and text messages from this sender. It would not take long before Chelsea was no

Although the man had been educated on how to take care of himself, he had never been a cleaner before.When his wife was a slave driver to him, he did not get angry and was willing to do so instead.“Sure, I’ll head over after work. Send me the address of Liberty’s rented apartment later. Remember to cook for me too.”“Okay.”“Thank you, Zachary,” Liberty thanked her brother-in-law.If it were not for her sister and brother-in-law standing behind her all the time and supporting her, she would not have been able to reach a consensus with Hank and divorce peacefully in the shortest time possible.“We’re family, Liberty. You don’t have to thank me.”Liberty was still grateful.After hanging up the phone, she said again, “Seren, Zachary is a very good man. You have to treat him well.”“Sis, my ears are going to fall off if you say that one more time.”She said the same thing every time.Liberty laughed.It became a habit.Ten minutes later, they arrived at the bank Hank mentio
