Liberty stared at her ex-husband grimly and said, “Serenity is too busy to meddle in your affairs. Now that your career hasn’t been smooth, it shows that there are issues with your ability. Don’t shift the blame onto other people. You should identify your own problem.”Only now did her sister find out that she was married to Zachary. How would her sister have the time to trick Hank?“It must be either Serenity’s or Zachary’s doing. I’m sure Serenity had Zachary trick me, which caused Jessica and me to be down on our luck at work.”Hank’s eyes were filled with hatred.He was no fool. Just as he divorced Liberty, his career took a downward spiral. Every day, his boss would tell him off. With all his reward this month deducted, he could only receive his basic salary. He could no longer stay in Waltham Electronics.Currently, everyone in the company was looking forward to his leaving.If no one had tricked him, his life would not have gone downhill all of a sudden, considering that h
Jessica was aware that Hank attended a social function, so he must have drunk a lot of alcohol. She called to remind him to drive carefully on the road, but she did not remind him not to drive after he had alcohol.Hank grew upset when comparing Jessica with Liberty.All he could do was delude himself. ‘Jessica is still young, so she doesn’t know how to be concerned about others. She’ll gradually get better at this.’Hank fixed his eyes on Liberty’s rented apartment for a long time before he drove away. He even deliberately went to a florist’s shop to buy a bouquet of flowers and brought it home.He returned to his rented apartment and opened the door, only to see his mother seated on the couch with a furious look. His father and Jessica were nowhere to be seen in the living room.Chelsea’s family had returned to their hometown after the kids’ school reopened.However, both Chelsea and his brother-in-law lost their jobs. They requested Hank to look for jobs for them.At this poi
“Hank, you’ve forgotten about me after marrying your wife, huh? This isn’t how you behaved in the past. You must be bewitched by that mistress so much that you want to abandon me. What a tough life I have. Why did I give birth to such a son who married a mistress?“Liberty, I regret it. I’ve learned from my mistakes. You’re still better. You could cook and do household chores. You also treated me well and brought good luck to your husband. When you were around, Hank was doing well in his career. He was lucky and wealthy. Our family was living in happiness.“Once you left, Hank started to be down on his luck in his career. His income has reduced greatly. Even Chelsea and her husband have lost their jobs. As for me, I’ve been bullied every day… I regret it. I regret it so much!”While bawling, Olivia criticized her son for being unfilial. She recalled how her family was living well when Liberty was around.However, tears did not flow out of her eyes. She was merely wailing.Indeed,
“Mom, you’d better not go to Liberty and pour out your feelings. Don’t wash our dirty linen in public. You’re already so old, yet you’re under the impression that Liberty will take pity on you if you vent to her. All she’ll do is gloat over it.”Hank expressed all his dissatisfaction in one go.His words made Olivia grimace, and she was at a loss for words.“Mom, think about it.”With that, Hank turned around and walked away.“Where are you going?”Seeing that her son was about to go out, Olivia asked him.“You stomped on the flowers that I planned to give to my wife. I’m going out to buy a new bouquet of flowers.”Olivia was speechless.Hank left without looking back. He went out to buy Jessica another bouquet of flowers.When he returned, he saw his mother weeping on the couch. Distressed, he ignored his mother. He entered his room with the new bouquet of flowers.Jessica was watching a video using her phone on the bed. She would chortle from time to time.At the sight of
Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Hank hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the face. “Darling, thank you for being considerate.”“We’re a married couple. I just want us to live much better than you and Liberty did.”At the mention of Liberty, Hank clearly stiffened. Nevertheless, he did not say anything. He soon carried Jessica to bed.Every moment of the wedding night was precious indeed.On the other hand, Serenity strolled outside the hilltop villa. Only when her legs were tired did she return to the house.Zachary silently followed behind her.Every time he wanted to speak to her, she would say, “You liar, stay away from me. I don’t want to talk to you now.”This caused Zachary to become submissive. All he could do was silently follow behind her.By the time Serenity returned to the house, her phone was already fully charged.She unplugged the charger and picked up her phone, only to see many incoming missed calls and WhatsApp messages. There were also text messa
Serenity was not just mad at Zachary but also the Yorks. Serenity replied to her sister’s message first before calling Jasmine.“Serenity.”Jasmine answered her call shortly. “Serenity, how are you now? Your phone had been turned off during the day. I called you numerous times when your phone was off. When I could finally get through at night, you didn’t pick up my call.”Serenity pretended to be fine in front of her good friend and said, “My phone ran out of battery, so it automatically turned off. That’s why you couldn’t get through. Later, I borrowed the liar’s charger to have my phone fully charged.”Liar…Jasmine could sense the fury in her words. She knew Serenity was still mad.It was hard for Serenity to cool down, considering that she was deceived by the person whom she shared her bed with.“So it turned out that your phone ran out of battery. You gave me a fright. Are you okay?”Serenity fell quiet for some time before she forced a laugh and said, “It’d be a lie to
“To buy cows and pigs, you need to go all the way to the countryside, right? That’s too far. You don’t need to. I want big-sized chickens and ducks. Buy more roosters that can already crow. With the roosters crowing at dawn every day, I’m sure it’ll annoy him.” Jasmine replied, “Alright. Leave it to me. I’ll handle it well.”It was not known whether Zachary would compromise after Serenity turned his villa into a zoo.“But Seren, will Mr. Zachary, I mean, the liar compromise? What’s more, he must have other villas too. Will he bring you to another villa?”Serenity paused for a moment before she responded, “I have no idea how he’ll react either. Anyhow, since he’s making things difficult for me, I’ll cause him trouble as well.”“It appears that the two of you are now enemies.”Glum, Serenity did not say anything.“I’ve told Josh to advise Mr. Zachary, yet Josh told me to advise you. He said Mr. Zachary had his reasons for deceiving you. Given that he’s the eldest grandson of the
“Honey.”Once the door was opened, Serenity looked at Zachary’s handsome face. He instantly wore a flattering smile.However, on other typical days, he would pull a long face, showing a stern expression. He would hardly smile. At that moment, Serenity felt that the smile was fake.“Honey, I’ve brought over your changing clothes.”Zachary handed her two sets of clothes. One set was pajamas, whereas the other was her outfit for tomorrow.“Let me bring them inside for you, okay?”Serenity forbade him to enter the room. After taking her clothes, she retreated and slammed the door shut. Then, she locked the door from the inside once again.Zachary was speechless.He did not walk away and stood at the door instead. At the same time, he was wondering when Seren would open the door and look for him.Sure enough, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked in two minutes. He immediately straightened his body and wore a smile on his handsome face.The moment Serenity pulled open the
