Chapter 390

Author: Gu Lingfei
Zachary locked the front door and pulled Serenity out. As he walked, he explained, “My friend found out that your brother-in-law is now at Grand Hotel, which is owned by the Stone Group. I work at York Corporation, and the two companies aren’t on good terms with each other. I don’t want people from the Stone Group to recognize me, so I painted half of my face black. No one will be able to recognize me now.”

Serenity glanced at the birthmark that he drew.

Even when they were in a rush, Zachary could think of this detail, which showed how meticulous he was.

No wonder Zachary could be a white-collar executive at York Corporation.

Serenity finally believed Grandma May’s praises for Zachary that he was a very attentive man.

Of course, Zachary would only be attentive if he cared about someone.

“Wash it off with soap water when we come back later.”

Serenity ran a bookstore that sold stationeries, so she knew how to clean marker stains on the skin.

Zachary wanted to say that she could

    Jessica leaned against Hank’s chest and said softly, “Hank, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have answered that call. I was afraid she was looking for you for something urgent.”“It’s okay. I can’t keep this hidden from her forever and have to tell her about our affair sooner or later, anyway. Since she already has some doubts, I’ll bring up the divorce when I get home.”Hank did not want Jessica to suffer any grievances.His heart had long been biased toward Jessica, and he no longer had any affection for Liberty. However, Hank put up with Liberty because he was taking into consideration his parents and son. Otherwise, he would have kicked Liberty out long ago.“Hank, will she get a cut of your assets if you two get divorced?”Jessica did not want Liberty to get a cut of Hank’s property.She wanted to see Liberty leave empty-handed.Liberty was away from the workforce for a few years, and her child was only two years old. She wanted to return to the workplace, but that would be quite dif

    Hank whispered in Jessica’s ear, which made her smile.Fortunately, he was smart.Jessica was relieved that she could enjoy a lavish lifestyle after marrying him.Of course, she also had to put her guard up. After marriage, she would hold his salary card. He also promised to add her name to the title deed, so she would make sure that he did as he promised. Anyway, she would not follow in Liberty’s footsteps.“It’s actually very easy to make Liberty leave without a penny,” Hank said.“How?”Although Hank only had that bit of money, it was still better not to give Liberty anything. As long as Hank did not share his property with Liberty, Jessica would be able to reap the benefits.“Just make her choose between Sonny and dividing the property. She will definitely choose Sonny and leave empty-handed.”Jessica was disappointed after hearing this and said, “Are you willing to give up your son’s custody? He’s the only paternal grandson your parents have. Even if you’re willing to give

    “It’s so late. Who’s banging on the door?” Hank muttered as he went to open the door with an irritated expression.When he opened the door and saw the chubby woman standing there, he was dumbfounded and looked shocked.Liberty was here!How did she know where he was?The couple looked at each other.Liberty saw his naked torso and thought about their relationship in the past ten years. It turned out that men could betray a woman so easily and quickly.After Hank came to his senses, he immediately looked grim and questioned Liberty. “Why are you here? Where is Sonny? It’s the middle of the night, so why did you leave Sonny alone?”“Hank, who banged on the door?”Before Hank finished berating Liberty, Jessica sashayed over.Jessica was wearing lingerie, and her hair was messy. Liberty wondered if the two just had sex because Jessica looked charming and sexy. There were even traces of their infidelity on Jessica’s neck.Even a fool would know what was going on in this situation.

    Serenity turned around and rushed into the room.Hank had already returned to his senses. He rushed forward and kicked Liberty, who was sitting on Jessica.Serenity was furious when she saw this as she rushed in, so she kicked Hank.She practiced kickboxing and dealt with Noah Hunt and the gangsters, so she had the upper hand. When she kicked Hank with all her strength, Hank, who had just kicked Liberty, fell to the ground too.“Liberty!”Serenity stepped forward to help her sister.Hank got up quickly to help Jessica. He pointed at Liberty and Serenity as he yelled angrily, “Liberty, what the hell are you doing?!”Liberty beat up Jessica and was panting heavily. When she heard her husband’s roar, she was infuriated again. She yelled back, “Hank Brown! How could you do this to me?! Because of you, I quit my job and stayed home to take care of our family. I raised our son for you, yet you betrayed me to be with this b*tch! You asked me what the hell was I doing, huh? I was beatin

    Liberty shook her head at Serenity.No matter how much Liberty fought and argued with Hank, it was a fight between husband and wife. At most, the Browns would pick Hank up and take him back to their home to recuperate.If Liberty hit Jessica, it would be seen as a wife hitting a mistress. Everyone would only think that it was well-deserved, and Jessica would not do anything to her because of guilt.However, if Serenity made her move and beat up Hank and Jessica to stand up for Liberty, the Browns would sue Serenity and ask her to pay for the medical expenses. Jessica would do the same.Liberty did not want her sister to be taken advantage of.She pulled Serenity back tightly and said in a low voice, “Just trust me. I can solve this.”Serenity and Zachary only had to take photos and videos as evidence for Liberty.“Hank.”Liberty wiped away her tears and asked him, “You really want a divorce?”Hank said sternly, “Yes, I want to divorce you!”“Sonny is still so young. How could

    After tonight, Liberty would no longer be sad or cry for Hank.“Sonny!”Liberty remembered her son and was suddenly anxious.“Liberty, I asked Mrs. Lane to take care of Sonny. Sonny usually sleeps through the night until dawn anyway.”Sonny was naughty, but at times, he could be very well-behaved. It was especially true when he slept at night. He would usually sleep till morning unless he was uncomfortable.Only then did Liberty feel relieved upon hearing that.“Seren, Zachary, how did you two find me?” Liberty only thought about this question after she was assured that her son was in good hands.Serenity gave her sister an earful. “Liberty, we’re sisters. Since our parents passed away, we’ve depended on each other for fifteen years and have discussed everything together. This time, you excluded me, so how could I rest assured?“Zachary’s friend who helped collect evidence of Hank’s infidelity is highly capable. He quickly found out that Hank was here as soon as Zachary asked h

    Liberty believed in Zachary more than she did in Serenity.Liberty even told Serenity’s embarrassing story of her secretly drinking the vodka when she was young.Zachary looked at Serenity with such an intense gaze that Serenity wanted to find a hole to burrow in.“Liberty, why would you bring that up? It’s been so many years!”Liberty even shared this with Zachary.Liberty smiled and said, “You climbed into bed after your meal that day and slept all day. You can’t drink, but you like to drink anyway. You’ll sleep like a log after drinking too.“Zachary, just remember not to let her drink when it’s not a special occasion.”Zachary pursed his lips and smiled. “I’ll remember.”Liberty was reminiscing about their younger days, which made everyone laugh. The gloom from earlier slowly faded away.Divorce was no big deal.The earth would not stop rotating because someone was missing. Even without Hank, Liberty could live a good life.After walking out of the hotel, Liberty looked

    Serenity came to a realization after being stared at and asked Zachary tentatively, “Mr. York, do you want me to wash your face for you?”“I painted my face black for your sake.”That meant he was holding her responsible.Serenity was stunned and felt like this man was becoming more shameless and reckless.“Fine, I’ll clean it up for you since you did it for my sake. Why didn’t you just paint your entire face black in the first place?” Serenity said as she pulled him into the kitchen.Zachary followed her and stopped after two steps. He frowned and asked Serenity, “Why are you bringing me to the kitchen?”“There’s a tap in the kitchen. I’m forbidden to enter your room, so how can I wash your face if I don’t take you to the kitchen? Or you can wait here. I’ll get a wet towel and wipe your face clean.”Zachary was speechless.He shot himself in the foot, and it hurt so much.After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, “I have a men’s facial cleanser that I often use in my

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa

    The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

    Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

    Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
