“Hank called me earlier. We’re meeting at the time and place we agreed on yesterday. It seems he has convinced his parents.”
It did not concern Liberty that Hank might have a change of heart. Hank attached importance to his career and was in a hurry to be with Jessica, so he refused to let the matter drag on.
He did not want the whole thing hanging over him. Her mother-in-law tried to get her relatives to talk her out of a divorce?
Liberty wanted to laugh. Her mother-in-law deserved to lose money for being so dumb to trust Liberty’s relatives!
Serenity carried her sleeping nephew while asking her sister, “Have you eaten, Liberty?” “Not yet. I came right after feeding Sonny. I’m pretty done with all the packing. I’ll need to trouble you to drive over and move my things once the divorce is finalized, Seren.
“I found a good place to rent this morning. It’s not too far from your place, and the accessibility of public transportation is pretty good in the area. The problem is tidying up the place though. I’ll figure that out once I get the procedures done and out of the way.” The matter at hand right now was getting the divorce finalized.
Hopefully, there would be no complications in between.
“Have something to eat and rest here, Liberty. I’ll drive you to the bank to meet with Hank. I’ll stay with you until he wires the cash to your account, and then I’ll come back to the shop.”
Grandma May jumped in before Liberty could refuse. “Let Serenity go with you, Liberty. We can’t feel at ease if you go alone. That family is shameless. Who knows what tricks they’re going to pull again?” The old lady then turned to Serenity. “Seren, drive your sister to the family court once she gets the agreed assets. You need to keep an eye out for the Browns. Some people will resort to violence during a divorce.”
“You know kickboxing, so you should go along. You’ll get peace of mind, and so will we.”
“I’ll go with your suggestion, Grandma May.” Serenity wanted to be with her sister all the way, but Liberty would not let her. Now that Grandma May spoke up, Liberty would not refuse out of reverence for the elders and comply with Grandma May’s proposal.
With that, Serenity put her nephew to rest on a sofa bed.
Jasinine and Mrs. Lane went into the kitchen to bring out the cooked food.
“Sorry to bother you.”
A voice intruded.
Interrupted from digging into their meals, the lot turned to the shop entrance and saw the lobby manager of Wiltspoon Hotel. Mr Zen carried a few packed dishes into the shop and placed them on the dining table. He smiled at Serenity and said, “Here I am again, Ms. Hunt. Mr. York called and ordered a few dishes to be delivered to you.”
While talking, he pulled out the food container from the bag and opened the lid of each container to display the food on the table. Serenity expressed her gratitude with a smile, “Thank you for coming all this way.”
“It’s not trouble at all.”
Mr Zen believed it was his honor to run errands for Mr. Zachary
Most importantly, he got to show his face around the missus.
Anyone well acquainted with Mr. Zachary would know that he was an indifferent man. However, the person close to Mr. Zachary’s heart must be the love of his life.
For Serenity to be that person, Mr. Zen had to make himself known in the missus’s presence. It would come in handy more than sucking up to Mr. Zachary.
“Um… I should leave you to your lunch.”
Instead of sticking around, Mr. Zen said with a grin before nodding at Grandma May. He then turned on his heel and took off.
Serenity courteously walked with him for a while and saw him off. She quickly whipped out her phone to send a thank-you message to Zachary together with a kissing emoji. Zachary was pleased to receive the text message from his wife. During lunch, Serenity uttered, “Liberty, I’ve discussed with Zachary and told him to hire a dozen strong men to wait outside your residential building. Once the divorce papers go through, they’ll get right to moving you out and demolishing the renovations.” Liberty answered merrily, “I was stressing about where to hire people to wreck the place.” At first, Grandma May wanted to volunteer her grandsons to help with the demolishing. However, considering that it was not the weekend today and year-end was around the corner, Grandma May did not want to take her grandsons out of their busy schedules to help out.
Since Serenity had talked with Zachary beforehand, Grandma May decided to stay out of it. Jasmine chimed in, “Serenity, did Mr. York hire enough hands on deck? I can call my cousins to join in if you could use more help. “Also, do you want to let Elisa in on this? She’s going to tell you off for not including her in the fun.”
If Elisa was here, she would commend Jasmine on being a good friend! Jasmine never excluded her in all the fun.
Grandma May nearly choked on her food. Why did Jasmine include the fiery Stone girl in this?
Grandma May would have to stay out from the fun if Elisa was going along.
In addition, Zachary would be assigning his security detail to do the house demolition. As Zachary’s number one fan, Elisa would be able to identify the bodyguards, unlike Serenity.
All hell would break loose then. It was a good thing Serenity put Grandma May’s worries at ease when Serenity said, “Let’s not involve Elisa since things might turn rough. She’s an heiress, so she probably hasn’t been in this sort of situation. It might scare her.” If Elisa were here, she would refute that as she had seen it all and had nerves of steel. It was a pity her cousin excluded her, blocking her from joining in on the fun. “I think a dozen men should be enough.” Serenity did not want to bother her best friend’s cousins.
“We have to make it snappy. We might not be able to remove everything by tonight if we’re too slow. We’re friends, Seren. Don’t mention it. I’ll give my cousin a call now. My cousin does construction. His workers are professionals.” Seeing that Jasmine had a point, Serenity agreed to her best friend’s suggestion.
Liberty was touched.
She married Mr. Wrong, but she could cut her losses and leave the scumbag’s family. Liberty still had friends and family to lean on.
Liberty was fortunate.
“Thank you, Jasmine,” Liberty gratefully said to Jasmine.
Jasmine replied with a grin, “Liberty, we’re basically family. Your business is my business. Seren and I have tolerated that absurd family for far too long.”
Serenity did nothing in the past because Liberty wanted to make her marriage work with Hank.
Now that they were about to get a divorce, there was no longer a need to hold back. “Let’s eat, everyone Zack had the food specially delivered to us. The food won’t taste good cold.”
Grandma May urged everyone to dig in After lunch and a brief rest, Serenity drove her sister to the bank that Hank specified.
