Married at First Sight Chapter 1073

“Sonny… Sonny is still just a child. Additionally, his custody was awarded to Liberty. Hank only needs to pay three thousand a month in child support, which will cease when Sonny turns eighteen. Hank won’t have to make payments if Sonny decides to buy a house or a car in the future. He has no means of contesting the family assets.”

“People’s feelings can change. The only way to ensure he won’t compete with your son for the family fortune is if he’s dead.”

“But I don’t have a son… I don’t even have a daughter.”

“Can’t you have one?”

Jessica gasped.

The other person laughed. “It seems you might be a little morally questionable, yet you still possess some humanity. I only shared my plan; I never mentioned anything about killing Sonny.”

“My intention is to use Sonny to draw Serenity in. She has a strong bond with her nephew, so I believe she’ll be inclined to meet me alone.”

What she wanted was for Serenity to come to her without anyone else present.

Jessica let out a sigh of relief.

She was only capable of stealing another woman’s husband, not of having the cold-heartedness to harm someone’s child.

“Can you assure me that Sonny will be unharmed after you take him?”

“Of course, as long as he doesn’t cry or resist. After all, he’s merely bait. My true target for revenge is Serenity.”

Jessica wondered, ‘How did Serenity offend such a ruthless woman?’

‘Does this woman also have feelings for Zachary? Perhaps she seeks revenge on Serenity out of jealousy after discovering their marriage? Does she wish to take Serenity’s place?’

“So, what do you think? Are you willing to collaborate with me, Ms. Yates?”

Jessica cautiously asked, “Can I decline?”

“You can, but there will be consequences…” Ms.

“Yates, do you know what a woman’s greatest fear is?”

Jessica’s already pale face turned ashen.

“If you cooperate with me, the only person who will suffer is Serenity. By the way, I have people surveilling all the members of the Yates family. If you fail to follow through after agreeing to work with me, I’m afraid misfortune could befall your family. Don’t see this as mere intimidation; I am a woman of my word.”

Jessica hesitated. “Can you give me some time to think it over?”

“No!”

“Do you agree or not?”

Jessica saw seven or eight burly men in black masks and sunglasses emerging from other rooms. Trembling, she stammered, “I-I’ll do it.”

“I knew you were a smart woman, Ms. Yates. The Hunt sisters are also your enemies.”

Jessica dared not respond.

…

“Achoo!”

Serenity sneezed.

The man beside her immediately asked with concern, “Did you catch a cold?”

“No, I’m fine. I just sneezed because my nose felt itchy. There’s no need to fuss.”

Zachary reached out to embrace her, allowing her to lean against him. He spoke softly, “Don’t return to the store after lunch. Take the day to rest.”

After Liberty treated everyone to a meal, those who had to work returned to their duties. Liberty took Duncan’s car back to the rental place with her son to relax.

As she ran a breakfast diner, it was perfectly fine for her to close in the afternoon.

Serenity leaned against Zachary’s solid chest. Feeling secure in his embrace, all her tension melted away. She yawned and closed her eyes, murmuring, “I still have to go back to the bookstore this afternoon to discuss the investment. There’s also another banquet tomorrow night.”

This is the result of my request for help from Aunt Audrey. I have no option but to follow through with it.” Serenity sensed that her life had become busier since joining the York family as their missus.
