If Josh did not have a sturdy backing by the name of Zack York, he would have been stuffed into a burlap sack long ago.
“What goes around, comes around.”
Julian spoke and stood up. “I’m going out.”
“Where are you going this time?”
“You won’t like following me anyway.”
Julian rarely spent time at home.
However, no one knew what he was up to outside.
Not forgetting the invitation, Josh got up and followed Julian.
“I’m going to buy some stuff for Drake to bring back to his sister in the evening.”
Josh felt that he had to start with his future brother–in–law. Not only did he have to build a good relationship with Drake, but he also could not neglect Jasmine. Having Drake bring gifts to his sister frequently was equivalent to Josh improving the Sox family’s opinion of him.
What would the scene of a woman meeting her ex–husband and his mistress when out shopping be like?
Liberty did not have much of a reaction. As for Jessica, when she walked into the store and saw the Hunt sisters, her instinctive reaction was to cling tightly to Hank’s arm.
It was as if she was afraid others would not know they were a couple.
“Daddy.”
Sonny, who was being held by Serena, called out to Hank when he saw the latter.
The people in the store turned to look at Hank.
They saw Hank standing next to the young and beautiful Jessica, then at Liberty, whom Sonny had called ” Mommy” earlier. The store clerks looked at Liberty with sympathy.
She came out shopping for clothes but ended up catching her husband cheating on her….
“Sonny,”
Hank walked over to Serena under the watchful eyes of the store clerks. Jessica followed closely.
“Sonny, let Daddy hold you.”
Hank reached out to hug Sonny.
Serena did not give him Sonny directly and placed him on the ground instead. If Sonny was willing to let his father hold him, then Hank could crouch to pick up his son.
Sonny was still young and did not know his parents had divorced.
He was not that close with his father, but he would not reject him either. He let Hank hold him since his father wanted to.
The store clerks were speechless.
They were planning on quickly calling the police if a scuffle broke out.
Liberty continued to pick clothes as if nothing happened. She bought a few sets of clothing from this brand before she got married. She was quite fond of it, so she habitually chose this store when she followed Audrey out to shop for new clothes.
Unfortunately, this brand did not have plus sizes.
“He’s my ex–husband.”
Liberty spoke indifferently.
Realization dawned on the store clerks. That explained how she could still calmly browse for clothes even when seeing her husband with another woman.
It turned out that he was her ex–husband.
“Are you shopping for clothes, Liberty? This brand isn’t cheap.”
Jessica found it an incredible eyesore when she saw Hank playing with his son. However, she could not act out. When she saw Liberty’s indifferent expression, she could not help but walk to the latter’s side while flaunting like a victor.
Liberty did not stop looking at the clothes. She only gave Jessica a sidelong glance and said flippantly,”
That’s true, but I can still afford to buy these clothes with the million dollars Hank gave me.”
Jessica choked.
Serena walked over and picked out a set of clothes in a color and style that suited her sister. “Liberty, these ones suit you very well.
” Jessica suddenly reached out and grabbed the set of clothes, saying with a vague smile, “Serena, why don’t you look at your sister’s body? How can she wear these clothes? Even if you have money beyond your knowledge of spending it, that’s not how you should do it”
Serena did not bother to take back the clothes that were snatched away by Jessica as she felt that Jessica’s hands were dirty.
She could not understand Jessica. ‘Is she deliberately trying to make her presence known because she had successfully gone from being a mistress to a proper girlfriend? Why’s she showing off her love with Hank in front of my sister?”
Jessica was trying to make her presence known and wanted to show off her relationship with Hank so she could place herself in the position of the winner.
She was young, pretty, had a good figure, and had Hank completely wrapped around her finger.
When Liberty was Hank’s wife, Hank led an easy life with everything provided.
Now, it was Jessica who was living that life.
Hank felt that Jessica was his true love.
After defeating Liberty by easily getting promoted to the top and gaining Hank’s deep affection, Jessical could not wait to show off in front of Liberty, trying to provoke her.
Liberty did not pay attention to Jessica and picked out a few more sets of clothes for herself.
Seeing this, Jessica tried to grab the clothes again.
Serena caught her wrist and said coldly, “Hey, don’t think my sister is easy to bully. She doesn’t care to fight with you, but I won’t allow you to bully her!”
She flung the hand away. With a push, Jessica was forced several steps back and retreated to Hank’s side.
“Hank Brown, keep an eye on your lover. Don’t let her piss me off or I’ll beat her to a pulp.”
Jessica was so angry that she was at a loss for words. “Serena Hunt, does your man know how brutish. you are? Be careful so he doesn’t throw you away.”
Serena laughed. “My man is different from others. He likes my brutishness!”
Jessica was infuriated by Serena’s laughter. When she saw Hank by the side with Sonny in his arms instead of standing up for her, she slapped his arm in anger and scolded him. “Look, Hank! Your ex–sister- in–law is bullying me!”
Hank was afraid that Jessica would hurt Sonny in her rage, so he put the boy down.
Serena waved at her nephew. “Come here, Sonny.”
Sonny immediately walked up to Serena, who picked him up and said to Hank, “Watch your woman, Hank. I’m not as tolerant as my sister.”
“Seren, don’t bicker with a mad dog.”
Liberty handed the clothes to the clerk, took her son back from her sister’s arms, and said, “She probably thinks that a mistress has to fight it out with the legal wife. I was quick to grant her wish, but she felt that it was going too smoothly, so she was just showing off to feel superior.
“What’s there to show off? Hank Brown is just a man I don’t want anymore. If I were to compare him to a shoe, he’s just a pair of worn–out shoes. I threw them away, but she picked them up and treated them like treasure.”
“Liberty!”
Hank called out with a dark expression.
“Take a look in the mirror. Aren’t you embarrassed shopping in this store? Can you even wear these. clothes? You’ll just end up ruining them.”
Liberty glanced at him and said to the sales clerk, “Ring me up, please. I’ll take all these clothes.”
Jessica said sarcastically, “Why don’t you buy all the clothes in this store? Didn’t you get acknowledged by a rich aunt? Didn’t your aunt give you hundreds of millions to shop for clothes?
“Do you live in a villa? Drive a luxury car? Do you have bodyguards following you around everywhere?”
That was what Jessica was most jealous about
