The group had only elbowed their way into the crowd when Serenity cried, “Liberty.” Sonny called for his mother. It was not hard to take stock of the situation when Serenity saw Chelsea and her mom as well as the disheveled state her sister was in. Boy, she was riled up. Putting Sonny in her sister’s arms, Serenity rolled up her sleeve and was ready to get into a fight. “Seren.” Mrs. Stone worked fast and swiftly stopped Serenity from trying to stick up for her sister. “Seren, leave it to the cops to handle this.” The cops had been called. It would not look good on Serenity to fight in front of the cops. “Mr. Stone. Mrs. Stone.” Duncan was surprised to see the Stones. Out of respect, he approached them and said hello. Mr. and Mrs. Stone exchanged greetings with Duncan. Mrs. Stone asked, “What’s going on here, Mr. Lewis?” Duncan replied, “Let the cops take their statements at the station, Mrs. Stone.” He then said to the cops, “Officer, my employee has suffere

Mrs. Stone snapped, “Do you think an apology would cut it after you beat my niece up? We don’t accept your apology. You’ve pushed one too far.” She then told the police officers. “We won’t settle with an apology. Do what you need to do, officers. But I think compensation should be in order.” The Browns’ mother and daughter were detained, fined, and ordered to pay Liberty’s medical bills and emotional distress. Since they beat Liberty up and insulted her in public, Liberty could claim emotional distress due to reputation loss. Hearing that Liberty was Mrs. Stone’s niece, Duncan looked at Mrs. Stone in surprise. Mrs. Brown asked Mrs. Stone blankly, “Are you Liberty’s aunt? When did you come into the picture?” Liberty was not related to her mom’s side of the family. The family had not been in touch with Liberty and her sister for the last fifteen years. Serenity was the only family who attended Liberty’s wedding. Their extended families from both their parents’ sides did n

“Mom.” Hank entered the station, only to find his mother falling off the chair. Taking quick paces, he went up to pick his mother up. However, his mother could not stand still and was weak in her knees. “What happened to you, Mom?” Hank picked the chair up and helped his mother to sit down. His mother stared at Liberty with a complicated look on her face. Hank took a glance at her sister and found her with her jaw dropped while color drained from her face. “Are you alright, Mrs. Brown?” Having tagged along Hank, Jessica asked Mrs. Brown with concern. She then turned her attention to Liberty with the intention to rip one into her. Even if Liberty was divorced, she should not have scared her former mother-in-law. Nevertheless, Jessica was taken aback by Elisa’s presence. Jessica thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Mrs. Stone and the others were not public figures, but Elisa was famous and went viral for courting Zachary. Without a doubt, Jessica knew who she wa

Hank had only pulled his mother up when his sister went weak at the knees once more. Hank was in a dilemma as he had to hold his sister up too. He told them not to mess with Liberty, but his family refused to listen and went against his wishes anyway. Hank simply could not get a moment of peace. Hank had been taking a lot of heat at the office, and work had been hanging over his head. His boss did not look too pleased when Hank ditched work to come here. He believed that at this rate, his family would cost him the over one million bucks he gave to Liberty to keep his job. Likely spooked by the drama, Sonny clung to his mother’s neck without staring at his grandmother and aunt. Duncan happened to stand in his line of vision. As Duncan stood behind Liberty, Sonny’s eyes met Duncan with his head resting over his mother’s shoulder. Sonny left quite an impression on Duncan. Although Duncan was a crude burly man, he loved children. The boy was as cute as a button. Duncan r

Serenity left her sister’s rented place and arrived home at half-past ten at night. She opened the door to the pitch-dark house. Was Nana not at home? Was she asleep? Serenity stepped into the house and turned on the light. She then closed and locked the door behind her. After much thought, she opened the door and grabbed a pair of Zachary’s loafers to put at the front door. It was to show others that there was a man in the house. It was a safety measure. “You’re back, Ms. Hunt.” Hearing the noise, Mrs. Lane came out of her bedroom. “Yeah.” Serenity asked, “Is Nana asleep?” “Old Mrs. York went back. Your brother-in-law picked her up. She thought you wouldn’t be home tonight, so she told me to inform you when you return tomorrow.”Serenity was surprised. “Nana went home?” Mrs. Lane replied, “Old Mrs. York said she moved in with you because she got into a fight with your husband. Now that they made up, she moved back to her house.”She believed Old Mrs. York was a

Mrs. Lane stood up for her boss. “Ms. Hunt, I haven’t been working with you for long, but I’m a good judge of character. Mr. York and your former brother-in-law are not the same type of people. Mr. York has a strong sense of responsibility. He won’t shrink away from his duty to care for you, his wife.“The way I see it, Mr. York doesn’t know how to talk to women and doesn’t like it when young women get close to him. He rarely talks to Ms. Sox. He keeps his distance but acknowledges her presence. He’s a brilliant man, but he’s also the kind that won’t look at another woman. Ms. Hunt, don’t be scared because of your sister’s failed marriage.“Love is beautiful, and there are happy endings to marriages. Not everyone’s marriage is like your sister’s. I was a nanny to Mr. York’s youngest cousin for many years. They are a good family. “Mr. York’s parents, uncles, and aunts are committed to their relationship and marriage. The men in the house are responsible and loyal to their wives. “

Serenity took Zachary’s call. “I’m not a hot water bottle!” The first thing that came out of Zachary’s mouth was to correct what Serenity called him. Serenity chuckled. “I’m feeling cold now, so I thought about you. You’re warmer than a hot water bottle.” Zachary’s voice was gruff. “So, you wouldn’t think of me if you weren’t feeling cold?” Serenity gladly admitted to that fact. “I probably would’ve gone right to bed if I weren’t cold. Oh, I’ll send you a goodnight gif.” Zachary was speechless. “Are you done with your work? You should carry on if you aren’t. I’m going to bed.” Serenity was about to hang up the call. “Serenity.” Zachary huskily asked, “Are your DNA test results with Mrs. Stone out yet?” “The results are out. Mrs. Stone is my aunt. We’re related by blood.” Although his heart sank, Zachary did not show it in his face or tone. “Congratulations on finding your family.” “Thank you.” She only had her sister for fifteen years. Now that an aunt sudde

Zachary, on the other hand, became more addicted and fell deeper in love with Serenity.Ring ring ring...Zachary’s phone rang again.He thought it was Serenity, but then he saw the caller ID and it was Duncan.“Duncan.”Zachary leaned back on the black swivel chair and asked indifferently, “Why are you calling me so late at night?”“There’s something important I need to tell you. Do you know that your wife has an aunt? It’s Mrs. Stone. It turns out that the sister Mrs. Stone has been looking for is your mother-in-law.”Duncan was not as gossipy as Josh, but he loved to watch drama and gloat on the sidelines.He just felt that he should relay this news to his best friend.“Stone Group and York Corporation have always been at odds. Clive and you will never appear at the same place together. The relationship between the two of you is completely frozen... I just thought of something.”Duncan muttered in hindsight, “When you treated Clive to that meal back then, did you already k
