Hank was the one who came to care for Sonny that night when Liberty went to the hotel to catch Hank with his mistress. Mrs. Lane then shared everything she knew with the crowd.
Everyone in the community was aware that Hank abused his wife, especially after Liberty chased him down the street with a kitchen knife following one of his attacks. This incident quickly became widely known in Bright Boulevard. In the aftermath, men prone to domestic violence made a concerted effort to control their tempers, fearing that their wives might react like Liberty.
Hank was also unfaithful, and Liberty caught him in the act. It was easy for everyone to understand why Liberty wanted to file for divorce; no one would want to stay married to an unfaithful husband.
“They were supposed to discuss their divorce, but the Browns are so despicable that they kidnapped her child! They even conspired to bully Liberty. Don’t you all think that’s going too far? They claim to miss their grandson, yet they have never cared for him and only raised their daughter’s children.
“A few days ago, that woman, Sonny’s biological grandmother, brought her sick child to Sonny with the intent to deliberately infect him. That child admitted it himself. How could a grandmother be so cruel to her own grandson?
“It doesn’t matter if they didn’t want to care for Sonny; they aren’t obligated to. Offering to babysit is just a generous gesture. But what kind of grandmother would intentionally attempt to harm her grandson?”
The crowd listened intently, as they were already familiar with Chelsea’s reputation for being a terrible person. At that moment, as Mrs. Lane spoke, everyone looked at the Browns with judgment. Unable to withstand the scrutiny any longer, the Browns approached Mrs. Lane and pushed her, attempting to close the front door.
Though Mrs. Lane did not know how to fight, she was not weak either. After being shoved by the
Browns, she quickly slipped through the gap, pushed the front door open, and re-entered the house.
Regardless, the truth was now common knowledge.
Liberty was the victim of bullying by her in-laws.
The quickest way to disseminate gossip was through the mouths of these middle-aged women. In under an hour, the entire Bright Boulevard was aware that Hank and his wife were divorcing and that the Browns had kidnapped Sonny. They even harassed Liberty because she was an orphan.
“Stupid old hag! Where did you come from?! How dare you interfere in our affairs?!”
