Remy’s car pulled up on the other lane right beside Elisa’s car at the traffic light.
Elisa glanced over twice but could only see the driver since there were curtains on the backseat window. The curtains were closed, so she could not see who the passenger was.
At the intersection earlier, it was apparent that the driver was the one who refused to give way when she was merging into his lane as he wanted to go straight. It was the passenger behind who was willing to make way for her.
When the light turned green, Remy’s car went ahead of Elisa’s.
Elisa saw Remy’s car plate number and wondered, ‘Whose car is that? Those black cars behind belong to a security detail, right?
“Who else in Wiltspoon besides Zack likes to go around the city with an entourage?”
Elisa had no clue.
Her eldest brother did not like to bring bodyguards and would only occasionally bring two, unlike Zack whose bodyguards were divided into two teams of eight each. Every time he showed up, it was always. with the fanfare of an emperor’s arrival.
Serena had no idea that Elisa met Remy on the road. After she sent Elisa her address, she sent a text message to Jasmine to inform that she was going to her aunt’s house.
She then pondered for a while before sending a message to Zack.
He was most likely still on the plane and did not reply to her message.
Serena’s heart sank at once.
She muttered, “Fine, don’t reply. It’s not like I care or anything.”
She placed the phone into her coat pocket, got up, and carried the dishes into the kitchen to clean up.
“Liberty, have you applied the cream for the wound on your face?”
“I have, but I don’t know if it’ll leave a scar.”
“The wound isn’t deep, so there won’t be a scar.”
Liberty carried Sonny over and watched her sister wash the dishes from the kitchen door. “Seren, do your think I’m too soft?”
“You forgave them once for Sonny’s sake. Besides, now that they know we have future. It’s just… I think your ex-mother-in-law regrets it now.”
“She regretted it long ago, but it’s not because she lost her daughter-in-law. She regretted that her son. had to give me money. Well, now that I’m divorced, I don’t care what happens to them.”
As they spoke, Liberty received a phone call from a number that seemed somewhat familiar.
She could not remember who the number belonged to but she had answered a call from this number before.
“It’s me, Liberty.”
Jessica’s childish voice resounded as soon as Liberty answered the phone.
“Is there anything you need, Ms. Yates?”
Liberty blocked every one of the Brown family’s numbers, but she did not block Jessica’s.
“No, but can I add you on social media?”
Jessica always spoke in a childish tone, making Liberty frown. “Ms. Yates, can you speak in a normal voice?”
Liberty was not Hank, so she did not like to hear Jessica’s coquettish voice..
Jessica fell silent, then proceeded to speak normally. I want to add you as a friend. Can you accept?”
“Ms. Yates, are you still dreaming, or do you have a few loose screws in your head? You want to add me. as a friend? What do we have to talk about?”
Jessica said, “I’m not afraid of you calling me arrogant I just want to know if you can live a good life after divorcing Hank. Oh, right, you got more than a million dollars from him. It’ll last a long time if you and your son are frugal.”
Liberty was not angered by Jessica’s arrogance and said calmly. “We still live in the same city, so you’ll be able to find out about me as long as you try. You can wait and see how my son and I live a prosperous life.
“I would also like to remind you not to be too arrogant, Ms. Yates, or you’ll end up miserable.”
Jessica giggled “What should I do? I was born this arrogant. Did you know? I’ve known about you since! joined Waltham Electronics. They all sang praises about how capable and beautiful you used to be, and that you and Hank were a perfect match.
“I got jealous of you, so I wanted to take everything that belonged to you.”
“By the way, just for your information, Hank and I will be registering our marriage on the coming Valentine’s Day.”
Liberty was still remarkably calm. “Congratulations, Ms Yates”
Congratulations on jumping into the pit of mud that was the Brown family.
“It’s the weekend today and I just woke up to a handmade breakfast by Hank. I heard you were married for more than three years, but you were always the one cooking for Hank. You had probably never tasted his cooking before.”
Liberty had had enough of Jessica’s provocation so she cut the call off.
“Liberty, was that the Yates woman?”
“Yeah. She’s insane. I divorced Hank and let them be together, but she still called to brazenly ask me if she could add me as a friend on social media. She must’ve wanted to flaunt her daily dose of lovey- doveyness with Hank to piss me off.
“What’s there to be upset about anyway? We’re already divorced, so what is Hank to me now? He’s just an ex–husband.”
As for Hank prepping breakfast for Jessica, that just tickled Liberty’s funny bones. It was a fact that Hank did not cook, so there was no way he could make her breakfast. He must have gone outside and ordered takeout.
“She also mentioned they were going to register their marriage on Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait for them to get their license soon and be tied together. That way, she’ll finally be able to experience what the Brown family is like.”
Serena scolded, “She’s utterly shameless.”
“How would she have seduced Hank if she wasn’t? However, I’m still grateful to her. If not for her. persuasion, Hank wouldn’t have given up Sonny’s custody so easily.”
Liberty hugged Sonny again.
Her son was her life.
She could let go of Hank, but she could not let go of her son.
Fortunately, it was all over now.
“Liberty, let’s go to the supermarket to buy some stuff first.”
After all, they could not go empty handed to their aunt’s house.
Liberty hummed in agreement.
The sisters took Sonny to the supermarket and came out with plenty of bags, large and small ones, stuffing the trunk of the car and the backseat to the brim.
Just as they were about to get into the car, they received a message from Elisa saying she was already at the entrance of Brynfield.
Serena took her sister back to the entrance of the neighborhood and met up with Elisa. They did not reenter the neighborhood but instead followed Elisa straight to the Stone residence.
On the way, Liberty said to her sister, “Seren, if Aunt Audrey wants to help us, we have to refuse firmly.
We’re still young and have all limbs intact, so we can support ourselves. We can’t rely on Aunt Audrey just because she’s super rich.”
“Don’t worry, Liberty. I’ve thought about that a long time ago. No matter how Aunt Audrey wants to compensate us, I’ll be sure to refuse ”
