Chapter 983
“I’ll be right there. I’m sorry, Liberty.”
Hank apologized for his mother and sister before ending the call. Grabbing his car keys, he turned to his father and said, “Dad, Mom and Chelsea embarrassed themselves at Liberty’s diner again. Come with me to bring them back.”
Mr. Brown, visibly upset, took a moment to digest the news and replied, “They have nothing better to do.”
They had once enjoyed a harmonious family life, but that was now over. It took Hank’s new wife for Mrs. Brown and Chelsea to finally appreciate Liberty. Now, however, the ladies wouldn’t stop bothering Liberty, which was humiliating.
“I’ll take your mom back to our hometown after your wedding. We won’t come to the city unless it’s necessary.”
Mr. Brown believed that relocating his wife and daughter could provide the newlyweds with some much-needed space. The separation would benefit everyone, reducing the daily conflicts and allowing his former daughter-in-law to have some peace.
Hank’s silence indicated his acceptance of his father’s plan.
Liberty had just finished a call with her ex-husband when Duncan burst through the glass door, flanked by a team of security personnel.
She was at a loss for words.
What was happening?
Grandma May thought to herself, ‘Oh, my. It looks like a party has arrived.’
“Kick these troublemaking women out!”
Duncan strode in and instructed the security guards to escort the mother and daughter out. His scarred face was tense and grim as he exited the restaurant, confronting the Browns, who appeared terrified.
“I own half the commercial properties on this street. Are you trying to disrespect me by causing trouble for my tenant? I warn you, if you continue this behavior, you’ll be in serious trouble.”
Problems arose with my tenant.
“Get lost!”
“W-We… We’ll leave r-right now!”
Mrs. Brown was terrified.
She grabbed her daughter and ran.
They hurried into the car and drove off.
Jessica observed everything from outside until Duncan arrived with a security team, prompting her to take cover in her car. Jessica discreetly recorded the incident to share with Hank later.
Liberty had found herself another man. Hank was now part of the past, and he needed to let go of Liberty and concentrate on his life with Jessica.
Once the mother and daughter left, Duncan returned to the diner while the security guards remained outside. It was quite unusual to see a dozen men in uniform lingering around. Liberty’s neighbors peeked out to see what was happening.
They didn’t recognize Duncan because he had hired someone else to collect the rent. They were unaware that the man with the scarred face was their actual landlord.
Duncan noticed Liberty’s wide-eyed expression and Grandma May’s keen gaze, feeling as though he had been deceived.
After all, who was Grandma May?
Though she was elderly, Grandma May was fit enough to handle Mrs. Brown and Chelsea. Liberty wasn’t weak either; she could easily team up with Grandma May to evict those two. Duncan didn’t need to play the hero.
Grandma May had set him up.
Realizing he had been tricked, Duncan maintained his composure and approached Sonny as if nothing had happened. He knelt down and pulled Sonny in for a hug.
Sonny resisted Duncan’s embrace, fighting back.
“You must be scared, Sonny. Don’t worry; I’m here to save you.”
Liberty was left speechless.
