Serenity stopped the car.“Seren, did everything go well?” Jasmine asked with concern.Serenity smiled. “It went great.”Liberty got out of the car. She took out her access card and while swiping it, she said to the security guard, “I’m moving out. These are the movers I hired to help me.”The guard took a double take at the group of people and said, “Are you moving or tearing down your home? They even brought so many tools with them. Are they redecorating after the move as well?”“Yes, they’re here to redecorate.”However, it would not be her money to be spent anymore.The security guard did not ask more and it was fine to him as long as they were not here to pick a fight.With Liberty leading the way, the group of people entered Bright Boulevard.Along the way, many residents were attracted by the procession and stopped to watch.“Liberty, why did you bring so many people over?”Some people who knew Liberty took the opportunity to ask her when they greeted her.Liberty sm
“Wait, aren’t you the substitute driver?”Serenity was surprised when she recognized Jim.Jim smiled sheepishly. “I gave your husband my name card and told him he could find me if he needs anything. I can do anything as long as I’m paid.”Serenity supposed that there was not a smooth stream of business for a substitute driver and that doing other jobs part-time was better than staying idle at home, so she did not suspect that Jim was lying.“Thank you.”“Don’t thank me. I’m getting paid to do my job.”Jim finished speaking and hurriedly carried the sofa out with a colleague.Jasmine asked casually, “Do you know that person?”“Yeah, I’ve seen him a few times since he lives in Brynfield. He usually works as a substitute driver. He sent Zachary home twice when the latter got drunk.“I didn’t know that he had side jobs. I’ll ask for his name card later. We can hire him if we need something done in the future. I think he’s quite reliable.”Grandma May, who was helping to pack up S
After moving out those things that were moveable, what remained were the few items Hank bought with his own money.Everyone worked together and brought the appliances Hank purchased over to the entrance of the house before they began smashing the floor tiles and tearing down the drywall.The sounds of drilling, shattering, and breaking mixed into creating a cacophony.It affected the residents upstairs and downstairs.Liberty and Serenity felt embarrassed and hurriedly went to a store to buy some fruit to give to their immediate neighbors. They apologized and assured them that the job would be finished before dark.Since the sisters came bearing fruit to apologize and the neighbors were familiar with the sisters, they temporarily put up with the noise.For families with children who could not stand the sound, the adults took the children out for a walk.The sisters also bought a lot of food and gave it to the people who were tearing down the house.With a happy-looking Liberty,
Zachary said that unless it was an outstanding man, he would not introduce the man to Serenity’s best friend. It seemed he was living up to his words.Josh was a little regretful that he came at the wrong time.He looked at Jasmine, who was directing everyone to move Liberty’s stuff. When she saw him, she walked over and greeted him, “Mr. Bucham.”“Ms. Sox.”Josh smiled back and asked with concern, “Are you feeling better from your cold?”“Yes, thank you for your concern.”Serenity quietly took Zachary away so Josh and Jasmine could talk.When they were by themselves, she praised her husband. “Zachary, your colleague is quite brilliant. Is he also a director in your company? I saw him when you came out of the hotel.”“Yeah, he’s also a director with a very high position. Everyone calls him Mr. Bucham.”He suddenly leaned into Serenity’s ear and whispered, “He told me not to say, but since we’re husband and wife, there’s no harm telling you. Mr. Bucham has won the trust of our
After a lively afternoon, calm finally returned after dark.Back in the day, Liberty was especially attentive when setting up this small home and spent a lot of money on it. Now, all the appliances she bought were removed. She could not fit all of them into her rented house, so she picked some of the commonly used ones to keep and sell the rest as pre-owned items instead of moving them to her sister’s place.It was somewhat like a farewell to the past.Liberty’s rented house was not cleaned up yet, so it was not convenient to cook. Thus, she invited everyone to a hotel for dinner.It was also a celebration of regaining her freedom.Liberty happily bid farewell to her past. Meanwhile, Hank was not idle either.He went to Jessica’s rented apartment at nine o’clock in the evening.“Jessica, is this all you have?”Hank saw that Jessica did not have many things packed. He went up to her and asked her while pulling the suitcase, “Have you finished packing everything?”“I usually liv
“Which floor is our unit?”“Sixteenth floor.”Hank carried Jessica’s suitcase out of the car, pulled it, and took Jessica inside.A neighbor bumped into them at the elevator and exchanged greetings with them, then asked, “Mr. Brown, didn’t your wife bring a group of people over to move out this afternoon? Why are you still coming back to live here?”“She was moving her stuff out.”The neighbor glanced at Jessica and seemed to understand.He smiled at Hank and left.It was no wonder Hank was chased by Liberty with a kitchen knife for five blocks. It turned out that he was cheating on his wife.The couple should be divorced, right?Liberty just moved out this afternoon, and Hank came home with a beautiful woman on the same night. He would not be so blatant unless he was already divorced.“Does he suspect something?”Jessica was a homewrecker, after all, so she still felt uneasy.Hank pulled her suitcase with one arm while embracing her shoulders with the other. He swept her i
Crack.The phone screen shattered when it hit the ground.Hank hurriedly bent down to pick up the phone and once again looked at everything at home without caring about the broken screen.Jessica also turned on the flashlight on her cell phone and together they looked at the state of the house. Never mind the lack of luxury decoration, it was even worse than a shack.“Hank, are we in the wrong house?”Jessica was still holding onto false hope.Hank walked inside and said, “That’s impossible. My key wouldn’t be able to open the door if it was the wrong house.“This is my house. What happened here? Where are my appliances? Is that all there is?”The more Hank looked, the darker his expression became.He stood in front of the dining table which he had paid for.A lightbulb moment hit him.He suddenly understood.It was Liberty.“Liberty!”He shouted up as the thought crossed his mind.“She smashed up my house!”Hank was furious.Jessica immediately said, “Let’s call the p
Hank paused before asking, “Couldn’t you have at least cleared away all the garbage?”Liberty laughed. “There was a lot of garbage when the house was first renovated too, and I was the one who paid for someone to clean it up. You didn’t reimburse me for that either. I’m just collecting my money back now.”“How much does it cost to hire someone to clean up? Why are you haggling with me over that little bit of money?”“Why shouldn’t I haggle? That’s my money. My money doesn’t grow on trees. Why should I give it to you? I’ll get back every penny I’ve spent.”Hank was speechless.After a long time, he gnashed his teeth and said, “Fine, you win!”“I’m only getting my renovation fee back. There’s nothing to win. Your house now looks like what you paid for.”Hank was so angry that he hung up the phone. He wanted to throw the phone, but Jessica quickly grabbed it. “That’s my phone. Don’t throw it.”“Damn it!”Hank could not do anything else but repeated those two words.As Liberty ha
