“Liberty didn’t show the evidence when something happened to Sonny, so it can only mean that she didn’t have it then. However, she managed to gather the evidence in a short time since she somehow produced the documents a few days later. Although Liberty has a lot of relatives, none of them are capable of pulling it off. “Don’t worry too much about it, Mom. Everything will be fine so long as we meet Liberty’s requests. She made it clear on the divorce papers that she will not act out in retaliation after the divorce.”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown fell silent once more.
Hank looked at the time and said to his parents, “Mom, Dad, I need to get back. I have work tomorrow. I’ll take leave in the afternoon to go through the paperwork.”
His parents were without a word.
Hank sat for a bit before getting up to leave.
Once he was gone, Mrs. Brown told her husband, “Are we just going to let them go through with the divorce, old man? Can’t they stay together?”
By not going down the divorce route, the estate would not be split, their grandson would still be theirs, and their son and daughter-in-law would still be married. “Hank has decided. What else can we do? Stop the divorce? They‘ll start the divorce proceedings tomorrow afternoon unless Liberty changes her mind.” After much thought, Mrs. Brown said, “I‘ll go talk to Liberty and convince her. If that doesn‘t work, i‘ll look for Serenity. I have a feeling that Serenity is her sister‘s pillar of support in this.
I’ll try and persuade them out of the divorce. “I can’t stand it. It’s so upsetting. It’s so easy for other people to go through a divorce. Why does our son have to take a big hit when it’s his turn?”
It was over a million bucks, for goodness’ sake. The amount was enough to pay the down payment for a house in a bustling city. Mr. Brown sighed. “What’s the point of regret now? You and Chelsea are to blame for Hank’s undoing.”
It took Mrs. Brown a while to find her words. “You’re only saying that in hindsight as if you‘re blameless. It’s not like I can predict things will end up like this after they get married and have a kid together.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown were really friendly and embraced Liberty, letting Liberty know that her in -laws were good people before the wedding. Liberty knew Hank for a long time, and the Browns had shown their good nature over the years. It never occurred to Liberty that her in laws would reveal their ugly side after she walked down the aisle. “Do you think people nowadays are like those from our generation?” Mrs. Brown was speechless. No. She must try to fix it.
Mrs. Brown immediately sent a text message to her daughter, inviting the latter to go into the city together tomorrow. As Chelsea was not in a good mood, she replied to her mother,
(Mom, I’m having a tough time at work now, so I can’t take off tomorrow. You should go with Dad.)
“Chelsea said she’s having problems at work. I wonder what happened. I thought she was doing well. What changed?” Mrs. Brown mumbled as she swiftly tapped the call button to connect to her daughter. During the call, Chelsea restlessly uttered, “I don’t know what’s going on, Mom. I have a feeling the people at work are out to get me. They have a bone to pick in everything I do. Not one good thing happened the whole day. Just let the divorce go through if Hank wants it, Mom. Your son is a great man. He’ll have no problems finding another wife.”
“God knows where Liberty found dirt on your brother, and she got enough to threaten your brother to meet all her demands. Liberty gets over a million bucks in alimony, full custody of Sonny, and three thousand dollars a month for child support.” “Does Hank have that much money to give her?” Chelsea was shocked. “Hank had transferred his assets out, but Liberty somehow got proof of the transfer. Never mind. Since trouble at the workplace is putting you down, you don’t have to go with me. Your dad and I will go into the city first thing tomorrow morning to have a chat with Liberty and her sister.” Chelsea replied, “Go for Serenity, Mom. Convincing her is basically convincing Liberty.” “I think so too.” The mother and daughter chatted for a while over the phone before they disconnected the call.
Serenity popped over to Liberty’s place after work to discuss the latter’s housing following the move out of the Browns’ residence.
As expected, Liberty turned down the offer to move into her little sister’s place. She said, “I will have enough money so long as Hank pays up, so I won’t need to move to your place. I’ll rent a place and look around for a property. The money should cover the deposit for a slightly smaller house.
“With the rest of the money, I’ll see if I can continue working at Lewis & Co. In the event I can’t work there anymore, I‘ll quit and run a breakfast place as you’ve suggested.”
Serenity stopped the persuasion and instead said to her sister, “Let me know whenever you’re in need. I can lend you the money.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t hesitate to ask you.”
Serenity stroked her nephew who was nestled in her sister’s arms.
“Ant Swer.”
“Does Sonny want a hug?”
After much thought, Sonny stretched both arins out to let Serenity hold him.
Serenity gave him a hug before carefully inspecting the bruise on his face. “The doctor
mentioned applying a hot compress every day after twenty-four hours have passed.” “I followed the doctor’s order, and the bruise is looking much better now.” Sonny’s whining had calmed down a lot as Liberty took the time to be with him and pacify the boy. “Take Sonny out for a stroll tomorrow, Liberty. Come to my shop if you don’t have any place to go to.”
“Sure,” Liberty answered.
Serenity stayed for a friendly chat before leaving her sister’s place. Mrs. Lane remained at Liberty’s house. Prior to leaving, Serenity had Mrs. Lane help pack Liberty’s things. Once the divorce was finalized, Serenity would bring people over to help her sister move and demolish the house renovation before returning the house to Hank. By the time Serenity returned to Brynfrield, Grandma May was already asleep. She tiptoed into the room and took a shower before creeping into Zachary’s room. Zachary told her to wait for his return in his bedroom.
