Mr. Brown had a hunch. It must be related to the divorce with Liberty.Olivia brought the cutlery and served her son food. โYou didnโt tell me in advance, so I didnโt cook for you. This was supposed to be for the dog, but you can have it instead. Iโll cook some pasta for you later if youโre still hungry.โโIโll be full after eating this, Mom.โFrom the moment he walked in, Hank let his mother serve him food and even set the table for him with cutlery ready. He was used to his mother doing this.After the family of three finished their meal, Hank handed the manila folder to his father.โWhat is this?โMr. Brown was suspicious, but he reached out and took the envelope. He opened it and took out a stack of papers and photos from inside.Olivia took a peek too.The husband and wife frowned as they looked at it.โHank, you kept so much money?โ Olivia was shocked that her son had so much money.Mr. Brown frowned and asked his son, โDid Liberty give you this?โHank nodded.โWhat d

โThe fight was just kids being kids. Plus, it was an accident. We will take good care of Sonny and keep him from harmโs way when we get custody.โ Mrs. Brown heartachingly said, โHank, donโt go with the divorce. I canโt take it.โIt never crossed her mind that fights between children could influence decisions on a childโs custody. Despite Mrs. Brownโs old age, she had never seen anyone take their divorce to court. In the separations that she came across, the women would pack their things and walk out, leaving the house, car, and children to the men. โSure, it was just a fight between children, but people would see Sonny living with us as whether itโs conducive to his growth and well-being.โ Hank patiently persuaded his parents. โMom, I donโt love Liberty anymore. Itโs not like Liberty would take me back either. You canโt make things work just by force. It would be hard for her and me at this rate. Besides, Libertyโs willing to settle. The divorce is going to happen.โIโve mad

Mrs. Brown grabbed the divorce paperwork for another look, feeling the pain every time she read the line on the payout to Liberty. โI thought the estate was split evenly. The amount doesnโt seem right.โ โLibertyโs relinquishing her rights to the house and car, so I need to make it up to her monetarily. Altogether, thatโs the total payout.โ Mrs. Brown replied after a pause, โWhat about the renovation cost for the house?โ Hank answered, โItโs not included. Iโve said it before. I wonโt compensate her for that.โ Although feeling a little better, Mrs. Brown said, โThe renovation was tens of thousands of dollars. I guess we benefited a little since she didnโt ask you for the renovation cost.โ It did not hurt as bad anymore for the money they were losing. โHank, how did Liberty collect these photos?โ Mr. Brown believed his daughter-in-law did not have such means. โDid someone help her?โ โI asked her, but she wouldnโt say, nor did she know who helped her. The personโs pretty good

โChelsea said sheโs having problems at work. I wonder what happened. I thought she was doing well. What changed?โ Mrs. Brown mumbled as she swiftly tapped the call button to connect to her daughter. During the call, Chelsea restlessly uttered, โI donโt know whatโs 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. Heโll have no problems finding another wife.โ โGod 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.โ โDoes Hank have that much money to give her?โ Chelsea was shocked. โHank had transferred his assets out, but Liberty somehow got proof of the transfer. Never mind. Since trouble at the workplac

Serenityโs phone fell on the bed. Sure, Serenity had waited for Zachary, but sleepiness got the best of her. It was a blow to Zacharyโs exhilaration. He brought along two Eternal diamond rings that he bought from Nana with the intention to put one on Serenityโs finger. Yet, she was far off in dreamland. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zachary reached out to pinch Serenity in the face. โYou could sleep through an earthquake, little piggy.โ After pinching her cheeks, he leaned down to kiss her face and hovered against her lips for a prod. He then grabbed her phone and put it on the bedside table. Although his wife fell asleep waiting for him, at least she was in his bedroom. That was what a certain Mr. York comforted himself with. The next day, Serenity woke up only to be blown away by a huge bouquet of flowers. Behind the flowers was Zacharyโs handsome face. She blinked. Serenity sat up the moment she was certain she was awake, and it was Zachary before her eyes.

โSeren.โSerenity was putting the ring on Zacharyโs finger when the latter tenderly uttered, โNo matter what happens, we wonโt talk about splitting up or a divorce, alright?โ Thinking the wedding bands were perfect for them, Serenity was in awe of Zacharyโs good taste. Zachary was able to pick out a suitable ring for her in her absence. Serenity heard what he had to say and picked her head up to look at him. โI canโt promise you this. What if you turn out to be like Hank? Am I not supposed to bring up divorce? Cheating men should be dumped as soon as possible. Why should women keep these disgusting men around?โ Zachary wanted to bait a promise out of her in hopes she would not leave him when he came clean about his identity. To his surprise, she did not fall for it. Despite being caught in a tender moment, her head remained clear. She was deservingly the woman he fell in love with. โUmโฆ In the context that I donโt have an affair, you canโt ask me for a divorce no matter

โThatโs hard to say. Iโll be back once my work there is done.โ โLet me know whenโs your trip. Iโll help you pack and drive you to the airport.โ Since Serenity did not have a change of clothes in his bedroom, she intended to return to her room to get dressed and wash up. With Serenity about to leave, Zachary reached out to pull her back. His dark eyes were fixed on her beautiful face. โThatโs it?โ Serenity was without a word.She blinked, unable to get the message he was trying to convey. What else if not that? Was he expecting her to see him off at the city he was conducting business in? โCan family tag along too?โ Zachary was twitching by the corners of his mouth. โSince I canโt go with you, is it not enough that Iโll drive you to the airport?โ Zacharyโs hand over hers loosened. Serenity stared at his hand and uttered with a frown, โI thought you had been slick with your words lately, but you lost it now. You just keep me guessing by leaving things hanging. Iโm

โI said nothing of that sort. You said it yourself.โ Old Mr. Hunt replied, โWhere are you? Look at the time, and your shop isnโt open yet. Other businesses would have made a lot of money by now.โ โZachary, my granddadโs so concerned as to what time Iโm setting up my shop. Are pigs flying? Can you grab your phone and check from the balcony? You need to take a picture of this phenomenon.โ With a scowl, Old Mr. Hunt lashed out, โDonโt change the subject, Serenity. Iโm talking to you. Your uncles, aunts, and I are waiting for you at the shop. Hurry up and get over here to unlock the door! We havenโt even had breakfast. Get us takeouts on your way here.โ โThere are plenty of breakfast places around. You can go hungry if you donโt want to eat there.โ Why should Serenity be so kind to get them takeaway? They would only tear into her after getting fed. Offended by Serenityโs attitude, Old Mr. Hunt wanted to let Serenity have it when John snatched the phone over. John sounded rather

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.โHowโs Sonny been lately?โLiberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.โSame as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.โSerenity added, โSonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesnโt seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesnโt like going to the Brownsโ place, and he doesnโt want to take their calls either.โHankโs mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why heโs upset with them.โDuring the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.โBabe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Donโt worry too much,โ Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.โYou are my rock. If even you are nervous, Iโll start feeling anxious too, and that wonโt be good.โHearing this, Zachary immediately said, โSeren, donโt worry. Iโll protect both of you. Alright, I wonโt be so nervous anymore.โHe gently touched her rounded belly again. โLilโ Bun should be a calm kid. Heโs not that mischievous.โHe felt that the babyโs movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

โJust hit the gym a few more times. Lately, youโve been spending less time there.โEvery day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.โOw.โ Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, โIs it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Letโs go to the hospital right away.โHe was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.โDonโt be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. Itโs not happening so soon. Itโs just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.โAs she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenityโs checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenityโs checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zacharyโs eyes, his wifeโs matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

โYou should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.โ Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, โThere were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldnโt eliminate them all at once.โBack then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main familyโs long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tonyโs call as he walked toward his car.โHey, Pops.โโHowโs it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?โTony was still in Carrieโs room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistressโa tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottomโs place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someoneโs schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, โItโs all thanks to Ms. Isabellaโs guidance.โHe felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.โAfter eating the sweets, I feel much better.โ Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.โJust ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me. They donโt have the same resolve as we do.โShe, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.โEvery time I see hi
