Liberty began to worry when she couldn’t reach her sister. Uncertain about the fate of the stubborn couple, she asked Mrs. Lane to send her over.
Coincidentally, Serenity’s car, which had been left at the entrance of York Corporation earlier that day, still had its keys in the ignition. Liberty drove it home, which is how she arrived at her sister’s place.
“How is the missus, Brandt?” she inquired.
Brandt glanced at the car behind Mrs. Lane and whispered, “It’s bad. Mr. Zachary is on the verge of breaking down. Do you think he can recover after the missus wrote him a divorce agreement? He went berserk. How could the missus be any better off than him?”
Though Zachary would never physically harm Serenity, his forceful hugs and kisses infuriated her. Additionally, he had even knocked her unconscious!
In short, the situation was chaotic.
Once the gate opened, Liberty drove in and parked in the small open lot under Brandt’s guidance. She quickly exited the car, leaving Sonny behind. She had asked Duncan to help look after him.

Ultimately, the choice was Serenity’s to make.
“Ms. Hunt,” Brandt said, greeting Liberty with respect.
“Mr. Zachary and the missus are having dinner now. Please come…”
Liberty’s anxious heart eased a bit upon hearing that the couple was having a meal. That was the Serenity she recognized. Even if the world crumbled around her, she still needed to eat. How could she muster the energy for anything else without sufficient nourishment? With Brandt and Mrs. Lane guiding her, Liberty entered the lounge of the luxurious villa. “Liberty?”
