Chapter 601
“Mom.”
Hank entered the station to find his mother falling off her chair. He hurried over to help her up, but she struggled to stand and was weak in her knees.
“What happened to you, Mom?”
Hank lifted the chair and assisted his mother back into it.
His mother gazed at Liberty with a conflicted expression on her face.
Hank glanced at his sister, who was staring in shock, her mouth agape and color draining from her face.
“Are you alright, Mrs. Brown?”
Jessica, following Hank, asked Mrs. Brown with concern.
She then shifted her focus to Liberty, ready to confront her. Even though Liberty was divorced, she shouldn’t have frightened her former mother-in-law. However, Jessica was taken aback by Elisa’s presence, thinking her eyes were deceiving her.
Mrs. Stone and the others were private individuals, but Elisa was well-known for her relationship with Zachary. Jessica recognized her immediately.
At that time, she had envied Elisa for pursuing Zachary.
“Is that you, Ms. Stone?” Jessica inquired.
Elisa raised her chin defiantly. “And who are you?”
“It’s really you, Ms. Stone. I’m Jessica Yates, the secretary to the manager of Waltham Electronics.”
Jessica eagerly produced her business card and handed it to Elisa.
Without extending her hand, Elisa replied scornfully, “You’re the homewrecker who ruined Liberty’s marriage. I won’t accept any business cards from someone like you—only from decent people, not floozies.”
Jessica was left speechless.
Her cheeks flushed a deep red.
Mortified, Jessica pulled her arm back.
Although his mother and sister were silent, Hank could sense the tension from Liberty and his
Hank noticed his sister’s bruises, indicating they had fought. Realizing his mother and sister were likely at fault, he quickly apologized to Liberty.
“I’m sorry, Liberty. I apologize on behalf of my mother and sister, regardless of what they did. I truly regret it. I promise to confront them and prevent them from bothering you again.”
“Please, for Sonny’s sake, can you overlook this just this once? I will meet any demands you have,” he pleaded, fearful that his mother and sister might end up in jail.
The police officers believed it was best to resolve family disputes amicably.
“Liberty…”
Mrs. Brown collapsed to her knees.
“I had no conscience. I was wrong, Liberty. I deserve to suffer for my actions. Please forgive me. I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble. I’m begging you; find it in your heart to forgive Chelsea and me.”
In a show of sincerity, Mrs. Brown even bowed deeply before Liberty.
Holding her son, Liberty turned away, rejecting the gesture.
“I was wrong, Liberty. I was wrong. I deserve to suffer,” Mrs. Brown repeated, raising her arm to slap herself.
“Mom,” Hank exclaimed, immediately intervening to stop her.
Snapping out of her shock, Chelsea knelt beside her mother and pleaded, “It was my fault, Liberty. I shouldn’t have twisted the truth and hurt you. Please forgive me.”
“We’ve known each other for over a decade, and I am Sonny’s aunt. Please forgive us. It wouldn’t be good for Sonny to have a grandmother and aunt with criminal records.”
