Inside contained two red brocade boxes.
He took one box out. Josh was not stupid and knew that Grandma May retrieved this from her private treasury to please Serenity.
He envied Zachary for having a good grandmother who was worried about his marriage.
Grandma May was the pillar of the York family and was respected by everyone. No one would stop her if she arranged for a sudden marriage like the one between Zachary and Serenity. Josh wanted a handful of grandmothers like that.
Unfortunately, his grandmother passed away. “I’ll go back to work.”
Josh did not want to be further provoked by luis best friend again. There were some things that should not be envied.
He stood up and left the office with Mr. Chaplin. Zachary looked at the two diamond rings that his nana had sent him and took out his cell phone to call her. “Nana, I‘ll buy these two rings from you. How can I accept wedding rings as a gift from you?” Grandma May laughed. “Sure. Since you‘re my grandson, I‘ll give you a discount. One diamond ring costs one buck, so you can pay me two bucks in total.”
“Nana!”
Zachary shouted in exasperation, “If Seren discovers the price, she would suspect I bought knock–offs from a roadside stall in the night market.”
Grandma May was amused and said, “Fine. Look at the rings yourself and give me however much you want. I‘m fine with anything.”
When she were to be promoted to become a great–grandmother in the future, the money given to her by her grandson would be rewarded to Serenity.
The money would then still belong to the young couple.
“Thank you, Nana.”
“What do you mean by ‘thank you?”
“It means whatever you want it to mean.”
Grandma May was pleased and lung up the phone happily. When one was in a happy mood, one would be energetic in everything.
Time would also fly by quickly. Lunch seemed just a while ago, but it was dinner time in the blink of an eye.
Hank deliberately put off all social engagements tonight and drove home alone to talk to his parents about his divorce formalities with Liberty that was taking place tomorrow afternoon.
His parents were just about to have dinner when he got home.
“Hank, why are you back?”
Olivia heard the sound of the car and came out while liolding her plate. She ate as she walked, and when she saw her son, she was surprised and asked with concern, “Have you eaten?” “I haven‘t eaten, Mom. Is there enough left for me?” Hank got out of the car with the copies of the evidence he got from Liberty and walked toward his mother. “Why are you eating only now?”
“I don‘t feel hungry since I have nothing else to do, so I don‘t want to eat too early. I‘ll go grab a plate for you.”
Olivia entered the house with her son, put her plate on the table, and went into the kitchen to prepare his portion of dinner. Mr. Brown glared at his son. “What are you doing back here? How is Sonny? Have you ever cared about him?”
“Let‘s eat first, Dad. I have something to tell you two later.”
Hank was afraid his parents would not be able to eat if he told them about it now. “What‘s that you‘ve brought back?” Mr. Brown glanced at the yellow manila envelope. Hank smiled and did not answer.
Mr. Brown had a hunch. It must be related to the divorce with Liberty. Olivia brought the cutlery and served her son food, “You didn‘t tell me in advance, so I didn‘t cook for you. This was supposed to be for the dog, but you can have it instead i‘ll cook some pasta for you later if you‘re still hungry.” “I‘ll be full after eating this, Mom.”
From the moment he walked in, Hank let his mother serve him food and even set the table for him with cutlery ready. He was used to liis mother doing this.
After the family of three finislied their meal, Hank handed the manila folder to his father.
“What is this?
Mr. Browni was suspicious, but he reached out and took the envelope. He opened it and took out a stack of papers and photos from inside. Olivia took a peek too. The husband and wife frowned as they looked at it. “Hank, you kept so much money?” Olivia was shocked that her son had so much money. Mr. Brown frowned and asked his son, “Did Liberty give you this?”
Hanknodded.
“What does she want?”
“She knows all the assets in my possession. She brought this evidence to me when she came to file for divorce. I‘ll have to share my assets with her equally now.” Mr. Brown‘s expression was unpleasant. Although he did not know how much money his son actually had, he knew that his son had his guard up against Liberty for a long time. “Everything has to be divided equally with her?” Olivia whispered, “Doesn‘t that mean splitting nearly a million with her?” “It‘s more than a million.” Olivia‘s heart ached. “If I had known, I‘d have given her the two hundred thousand dollars at first.”
Olivia slapped her son, “Hank, how could you not have told us about something this big? If ! knew you were hiding so much money, I would‘ve let you give Liberty that two hundred thousand. Then you wouldn‘t be losing so much now.”
“It‘s useless, Mom. Liberty won‘t let me go that easily. Don‘t forget what she used to do. She‘s more ruthless than anyone when she wants to be,”
After Hank‘s parents saw the evidence that was used to threaten lim, Hank took out the divorce agreement and handed it to his father, “Dad, this is the divorce agreement Liberty drafted. We both already signed it. We‘ve made an appointment to go to City Hall tomorrow
afternoon.
“I‘ve decided to give up custody for Sonny. I‘ll let Liberty take him away, but it doesn‘t affect your visitation rights to Sonny. Liberty promised that she won‘t stop us from seeing him.” Mr. Brown wanted to tear up the divorce agreement after reading it.
Hank reacted quickly and snatched it back.
“There‘s no point tearing it, Dad. Liberty and I already made a deal. I came back tonight to tell you that this was what I promised her, so don‘t go looking for trouble with her later. Let us split amicably.” If not for fear that his parents would go to Liberty and start a fight out of anger, Hank would have gone through with the divorce procedures that afternoon itself.
Mr. Brown was just about to slap Hank across the face but Olivia held his hand down just as he raised it.
