Meanwhile, Liberty got a text message from her sister and learned that they were related to Mrs. Stone. Besides, Serenity and Mrs. Stone were picking her up from work. Liberty was over the moon.
She swiftly took care of the matters at hand. The moment it was time to clock out, she picked up her keys and stuffed her phone in her pockets before hurrying out of the office.
People were giving her strange looks along the way, but Liberty was used to it.
Since she was in a great mood today, she did not have time for her petty colleagues.
She went to the motorbike parking section and found her ride. Liberty wheeled her e–bike out of there, feeling the weight of the vehicle. It took quite an effort to push.
What was going on?
Once she got it out of the parking spot, she looked at the wheel and found it flat.
Oh, she had a flat tire.
It explained the heaviness when she was pushing the e–bike.
All was fine when she rode the bike to work. By the looks of the flat, the tire was somehow punctured.
It was a good thing her sister was picking her up from work.
Liberty laboriously pushed the e–bike with a flat tire out of the office building.
“Liberty!”
An angry shout was heard.
Liberty did not have to look to know who it was.
The voice was all too familiar to her.
It was Chelsea, her former notorious sister–in–law.
Mrs. Brown brought her daughter to Lewis & Co., but Liberty had her lunch at the office cafeteria instead of having it at home.
She took a power nap at her desk before continuing her work.
All the while, she did not leave the office.
The mother and daughter were on a stakeout in front of the office building the whole afternoon.
Tempers were flaring, to say the least.
Now that Liberty was finally out, Chelsea’s fury had risen to an all–time high.
Without regard to the building crowd, she yelled and caught the attention of many.
The nosy passersby stopped to watch the drama unfold.
Although Liberty was only a measly clerk in the finance department, she was personally hired by Mr. Lewis.
That was how she became well–known in the company.
The director of the finance department was worried about losing his job as he found out that Liberty was once a finance director herself.
Liberty’s boss had been keeping an eye on her.
The director of the finance department knew Liberty was one to watch out for as she was personally hired by the CEO.
Liberty was a threat to him.
Since he could not kick Liberty out of his department, the finance director resorted to petty tactics to give her trouble.
The others in the finance department mentioned that the director had it out with Liberty.
Fortunately, Liberty had experience working in the industry.
She was able to avoid the setups by her direct superior.
“What are you doing here?” Liberty stopped in her tracks.
It was not like she had a choice.
Her former mother–in–law and sister–in–law stood in her way, refusing to let her through.
“What are we here for? Ask yourself.
What have you done? You trashed my brother’s home.
Pay for it! We’ll sue you if you don’t pay us the renovation cost,” Chelsea screamed.
With more busybodies stopping by, she raised her voice about what Liberty did.
“You have an employee in your company.
That’s right.
Her name is Liberty.
She’s my former sister–in–law.
She’s one cruel person.
She didn’t have to work a day in her life after marriage and threatened my brother to pay her over a million dollars as a divorce settlement.
“Have you seen such a greedy and vicious woman in your life? “One more thing, my brother bought the house before marriage.
Once the divorce was finalized, she brought people to trash my brother’s place.
Don’t you think it was uncalled for? No one would want a wicked woman like her after my brother dumped her sorry “ss.
” Liberty aloofly watched as her former sister–in–law twisted the facts around.
She waited until Chelsea wast done yapping before coldly blurting, “Yes, I didn’t work after marriage.
I didn’t earn a single penny, but I had done a lot for the family.
I gave Hank a son and took care of the family.
Yet, he insisted on going halves with me, knowing I had no income.
“He was only willing to pay half of our child’s formula milk but could buy a necklace worth tens of thousands and a bag worth hundreds of thousands for his mistress.
“Should I stay with such a man? I have the right to half of my spouse’s estate after the divorce.
The settlement was lawfully acquired.
“So I’m vicious? Well, you forced that nature out of me.
Sure, Hank paid the down payment of the house, but the renovations cost over four hundred thousand bucks was borne by me.
I paid for it but you refused to pay me back the money.
I’d rather demolish the furnishings than hand them to you.
Sue me? Go ahead.
I dare you.
” Everybody was speechless.
They believed Chelsea was not exactly in the right when she started talking.
Women should not be free nannies to their in–laws when they married into the family.
There was nothing wrong with splitting common assets during a divorce.
Although they wanted to get knee–deep in Liberty’s affairs, they took Liberty’s side after hearing her side of the story.
Liberty was not wrong to trash the furnishings since she paid for the renovation and got nothing in return.
Why should the ex–husband enjoy something she paid for? “Look at the vile woman…” “I think you’re the vile person here.
Are you even a woman? Are you not going to fight for anything if you and your husband separate?”
Someone stood up to Chelsea.
“That’s right. You’re a woman. How can you say that about Liberty? Liberty did the right thing. We’re behind you, Liberty!”
“With a sister–in–law like that, I’d divorce and stay away from the family even if my man didn’t cheat on me.”
Chelsea grimaced in the face of public criticism.
She believed Liberty humiliated her.
Suddenly, Chelsea pushed the e–bike that Liberty was holding onto.
Liberty had a hard time wheeling the e–bike as it had a flat tire. Chelsea’s sudden push caused Liberty to topple over together with the e–bike.
“Give us back the money. Your grandfather took the money from my mom and denied taking it. You’re responsible for your grandfather’s debt. Give the money back to my mom.”
Still not feeling satisfied after the push, Chelsea went on to swing her use of her feet to kick Liberty.
Ditching the e–bike, Liberty stumbled onto her feet and snatched the purse from Chelsea before smacking Chelsea with it.
She had so much hate and resentment built up for Chelsea. Thinking she had nothing to do with the Browns after the divorce, Liberty wanted to leave the disgusting Browns behind her and pave a way forward for herself. However, Chelsea pushed too far and stirred up trouble. Chelsea’s meanness was no excuse to turn the facts on Liberty.
Both of them had a catfight before, and Chelsea lost to Liberty.
Now that the pair was at it again, Mrs. Brown was going to help her daughter.
The mother and daughter teamed up to attack Liberty.
“Call the cops! Someone, call the cops!”
Someone shouted.
“Security, go on and pull them apart. These two women are causing a ruckus in our company.”
Someone urged the security guards to intervene.
The security guards jumped in to try and stop the fight.
The mother and daughter acted like mad dogs, biting at anyone who came in their way, and the intervening security guards got the worst of it. A security guard had just pulled Liberty away when Chelsea gave Liberty a kick.
Liberty fell to the ground together with the security who was pulling her away. In fact, she landed on top of him.
The security guard drew a hitched breath. Her weight was crushing him!
A few women came forward to help Liberty up.
Shaking them off, Liberty pounced on Chelsea like a furious lioness.
The pair were all over each other bearing claws.
“What’s going on?”
