According to the new divorce papers, Hank must pay my sister over a million dollars. I suppose Mrs. Brown couldn\u2019t part with that money, so she tried to persuade my granddad to talk to us.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After all, the Hunts were the sisters\u2019 family by name.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI wonder how much Mrs. Brown gave my granddad. Well, she\u2019ll never see that money again. She usually has a knack for setting my sister up, but not this time. I guess she got flustered.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Life offers no second chances.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cNow that this matter is settled, you should head to work, Zachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>With the Hunts gone, Serenity encouraged her partner to leave for work.<\/div>\n<div>Although Zachary accompanied Serenity to the shop, he wasn\u2019t much help. Serenity was a powerhouse, so he typically took a step back and let her handle things.<\/div>\n<div>With a sulky demeanor, a certain heir followed his wife\u2019s encouragement to leave.<\/div>\n<div>Back at the office, Zachary called Jim.<\/div>\n<div>Once Jim answered, Zachary got straight to the point. \u201cJim, gather everyone and bring tools for dismantling a house. Head to Bright Boulevard this afternoon to help my wife\u2019s sister move out and demolish the house.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jim respectfully replied, \u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou can sit this one out. Serenity knows you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After a brief pause, Jim said, \u201cSir, while I\u2019m acting as the designated driver, I can take on other jobs too. Home demolition is my specialty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>It would be a disappointment for Jim to miss out on such an exciting task.<\/div>\n<div>After some consideration, Zachary remarked, \u201cYou can join if you can come up with a story that won\u2019t raise any suspicions with Serenity.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jim<\/div>\n<p>Jim responded immediately, \u201cRelax, Mr. Zachary. I\u2019m getting better at coming up with excuses. The missus won\u2019t suspect a thing.\u201d Zachary fell silent for a moment before eerily remarking, \u201cWhy do I get the feeling you\u2019re suggesting that I tell a lot of tales?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jim was left speechless. He would never have the courage to imply anything. However, Zachary remained calm, and the call soon ended. <\/p>\n<p>After Mr. Zachary hung up, Jim sighed with relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had broken out in a cold sweat at Mr. Zachary\u2019s grim comment, even in the middle of winter. Luckily, he had secured the opportunity to assist with the home demolition for the missus\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n<p>By afternoon, Liberty dropped her son off at the shop and asked her sister to watch over Sonny. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiberty, do you want me to come?\u201d Serenity asked, concerned that an issue might arise. \u201cYour parents-in-law gave Granddad and the others something this morning. They told me a bunch of stuff about saving the marriage, and I told them to leave.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As she handed her sleeping child to her sister, Liberty said softly, \u201cSonny fell asleep on the way here. He already had lunch, so just let him nap.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHank called me earlier. We\u2019re meeting at the time and place we agreed on yesterday. It seems he has convinced his parents.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Liberty wasn\u2019t worried that Hank might change his mind. He prioritized his career and was eager to be with Jessica, so he wouldn\u2019t let the matter linger. <\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t want the situation hanging over his head. Her mother-in-law had tried to persuade her relatives to talk her out of a divorce? Liberty couldn\u2019t help but laugh; her mother-in-law deserved to lose money for being foolish enough to trust Liberty\u2019s relatives!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 542: \u201cWhy did they defend that scumbag Hank?\u201d Jasmine asked curiously. \u201cDid the Browns offer something to make it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12343"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12410,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12343\/revisions\/12410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
