because their wives were excellent homemakers, allowing them to concentrate on their careers without concern. Hence the saying, “Behind every great man, there’s a great woman.” Liberty remarked indifferently, “I don’t care about his work. Regardless, I received my money.”
“Seren, when I settle down, please tell Zachary to invite that friend of his out. We’ll treat him to dinner as a token of gratitude for the tremendous help he’s provided. If it weren’t for his assistance in gathering the evidence I used to threaten Hank, I wouldn’t have been able to divorce Hank and secure my assets so quickly.”
Serenity was equally intrigued by Zachary’s remarkable friend and replied, “Of course. I already asked him to invite his friend for dinner, and he said he has done so.”
If Josh were present, he would say, “I’ve been waiting for my dinner invitation too, but my boss won’t let me attend.”
After about half an hour, the two sisters returned to Bright Boulevard.
As they approached the entrance, Serenity noticed a group of people with home demolition tools either standing or squatting by the entrance of the community alongside the security guards.
She immediately recognized them as the helpers arranged by Zachary.
Jasmine and Grandma May were also there.
Jasmine attempted to convince the elderly woman to stay at the store and look after Sonny.
Grandma May shot Jasmine a disapproving look and replied, “Jasmine, are you underestimating me? I may be old physically, but I’m still young at heart. I might not be able to tear down the house myself, but I can certainly be the commander-in-chief. With me leading, I assure you the demolition will proceed smoothly.”
Jasmine found the old lady amusing and laughed, “Grandma May, you’re the funniest elderly woman I’ve ever met.”
Unable to persuade the old lady to stay behind, she ultimately decided to bring her along.
Mrs. Lane remained in the shop to care for Sonny. They could have closed the shop and gone over together. However, since Sonny had been frightened just a few days earlier, they opted not to expose him to something as violent as demolishing a home, to prevent adding further trauma to his young mind.
