Without Serenity’s consent, she did not tell Liberty about the young couple’s misunderstanding and the cold war. When Liberty saw her sister getting out of the car with her son, but her brother-in-law was nowhere to be seen, she asked casually, “I thought you went to pick Zachary up for lunch together.”
“I went to his office, but he’s not free this afternoon. He’s having lunch with a client,” Serenity lied. Liberty did not suspect her at all. After the meal, Liberty took a short break in the store before continuing to look for jobs in the afternoon. Serenity, who had spent tens of thousands of Zachary’s money, was also in a calmer mood.
She remembered that when she got the marriage license, she was just looking for someone to live with. The couple did not love each other, so why should she care what he thought of her? As long as he did not file for divorce, they would just go on living without getting in each other’s way.
After figuring that out, Serenity’s mood improved enough to continue making her crafts. In the evening, after Liberty had dinner at the store with Sonny, she politely refused to be seen off by Serenity and took a ride home by themselves. Jasmine had to go out in the evening, so Serenity had to watch the store.
Since Liberty insisted not to be seen off, Serenity called a taxi for her sister and watched the mother and son get into the car. Then, she went back to the store to keep watch. When it was eleven at night, she closed the shop as usual and went home. She had just driven away from the entrance of Wiltspoon School and entered the main road when she almost hit a Land Rover.
She was caught by surprise and that caused her to slam on the brakes urgently to avoid crashing into it. After the Land Rover drove past, she continued driving. This scene was witnessed by Zachary, who was slowly following from behind. He was currently sitting in his car.
Serenity felt that the car was familiar and thought it was the same Rolls-Royce from her neighborhood. Serenity’s car was bought for her by Zachary.
He had a good memory and could naturally recognize his wife’s car. However, he did not say anything and simply instructed the driver, “Slow down. Don’t overtake the car in front.” The driver did not know the reason, but Jim did. He explained to the driver in a soft voice, “The car in front belongs to the Missus.”
The driver turned his head to look at Zachary in the backseat. When he saw Zachary’s cold expression, he quickly turned his head around and eyes back on the road. He was careful with the speed of the car, following the missus’ car from a decent distance.
Jim thought of the most important question and turned to ask Zachary, “Mr. Zachary, where are you returning tonight?”
Mr. Zachary stayed in Regent Residences yesterday, but he’s following Missus today. Is he going back to Brynfield?’
Zachary was silent.
After a while, he said, “Go back to Regent Residences, but…”
He looked at the familiar car in front of him without saying a word.
They silently escorted Serenity’s car back to Brynfield before he returned to his villa.
Jim was a smart man and instantly saw through Zachary’s thoughts, so he told the driver the details.
Serenity knew that there was a car following her, which was Zachary’s, but Wiltspoon was a big city so there were many cars on the road even late at night. However, even if she saw luxury cars, she would not know that they belonged to Zachary. When she reached a traffic light intersection, seven or eight youths standing by the roadside suddenly rushed out, and Serenity slammed on the brakes.
Just as she was about to hit them, the car stopped in time, She broke out in a cold sweat and took a while to come back to her senses. Knock! Knock!
One of the youths tapped on her car window. Serenity thought she had hit one of them after all. She quickly wound down the window, only to see the face of her youngest cousin.
“It’s you?” She frowned. “Do you have a death wish? Do you know what would’ve happened if I didn’t brake in time? If you want to die, please go somewhere far away. Don’t dirty my wheels.”
Her youngest cousin, Noah Hunt, was only a teenager. He was at an age where rebellion and ignorance were at their peaks
Last time, her cousins went to her store to talk about reconciliation. Noah was particularly arrogant and said that he would smash up her store.
However, tonight, he brought a group of youngsters of around the same age as he was to block her car. Were they trying to cause trouble?
“So what if it’s me! Get out of the car, Serenity! If you don’t, I’ll smash your car! You have money to buy a new car, but you won’t help Grandmom pay her medical bills. Do you know how much she spent on her hospitalization?”
Noah was young and exuberant. He did not know much about the past. He only knew that after his grandmother got sick, this cousin of his never visited the old woman in the hospital and refused to pay for the medical bills. His parents said that Serenity and her sister should have paid the money for Grandmom’s treatment.
Liberty had no money, but Serenity did. Look, she even bought a new car that was worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. She was rich enough to buy a car, but she refused to help his grandmother pay for medical expenses.
When his brothers wrote a blog post accusing Serenity, she spouted nonsense and purposefully misled public scrutiny, causing the ignorant netizens to accuse them instead. That caused his eldest brother’s business to drop, and his second brother was suspended from work.
Even his parents’ and other brothers’ jobs were affected.
Noah was furious. When they took the initiative to reconcile with Serenity, she refused to forgive them. He wanted to smash her bookstore that day but was stopped by his cousins.
In the past few days, he heard his parents muttering about the need to get a sum of money to pay for his grandmother’s medical bills. They complained that it would cost a lot of money to treat her. When Noah remembered that all this was caused by Serenity’s unwillingness to pay, he gathered a bunch of his friends.
