Angrily, she exclaimed, \u201cI can\u2019t believe they\u2019re still harassing you for money.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHe wants to borrow money from me, claiming that business is struggling and he\u2019s in the red. He needs to invest a million dollars into operations.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHow shameless! I thought I was the most brazen person in Wiltspoon. People called me shameless for pursuing Mr. York, but compared to your relatives, I\u2019m practically modest.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Surprisingly, Liberty found herself calming Elisa down. \u201cDon\u2019t get upset over these people, Elisa. Serenity and I will never have a good relationship with them. They can go to hell for all I care.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The struggles the Hunts were facing now were simply karma catching up with them.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cCome on, let\u2019s enjoy the buffet and drinks. Elisa, your pastry chef makes the best desserts. I\u2019m going to indulge myself today!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine shifted the conversation to a different topic.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa laughed at her. \u201cDesserts are fattening\u2026 Liberty, I wasn\u2019t referring to you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Unfazed, Liberty responded, \u201cDesserts may be fattening, but I\u2019ve eliminated sweets from my diet.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI don\u2019t care if desserts are high in calories. I run and train every day, so a little dessert won\u2019t hurt my weight.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine, pulling Elisa along, called Liberty and her son to join them inside the house.<\/div>\n<div>Since Liberty had given up sugar, she had to resist all the tasty treats at the party.<\/div>\n<div>Sticking to her diet was the first step toward losing weight.<\/div>\n<div>By the time Josh arrived, Jasmine had eaten her fill and was quite drunk.<\/div>\n<div>Drake acted as the designated driver for his sister. While assisting his inebriated sister, they bumped into Josh, who was surrounded by a crowd.<\/div>\n<div>Josh had intentionally arrived late so that\u2026<\/p>\n<p>All eyes were on him. It never occurred to him that Jasmine was leaving just as he had arrived. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Bucham,\u201d he heard, and Drake nodded at Josh. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on, Ms. Sox?\u201d he asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy sister is drunk,\u201d she replied. <\/p>\n<p>Josh was at a loss for words; it seemed she couldn\u2019t handle her liquor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Bucham, I\u2019m off to drive my sister home,\u201d Drake said, supporting Jasmine by the arm as he gave Josh another nod and walked past him. <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine wasn\u2019t the only one under the influence; even Elisa, who typically enjoyed a drink or two, was completely intoxicated. The two had somehow ended up discussing Mr. York, leading Elisa to call for a switch from wine to hard liquor. They took turns downing shots until they were both wasted. <\/p>\n<p>Josh wanted to approach Jasmine in front of the crowd, wanting everyone to know about his feelings for her, but that plan quickly fell apart. <\/p>\n<p>Even the best-laid plans can go awry, and that seemed to be Josh\u2019s fate. He had only come to the Stones\u2019 party for Jasmine, and now that she had left, he saw no reason to stay. <\/p>\n<p>The Stones\u2019 party was lively and lasted until midnight. <\/p>\n<p>The next day, Liberty was determined to return to her small home with her son, despite Mrs. Stone\u2019s insistence that she remain. <\/p>\n<p>Before departing from the Stones\u2019 residence, Liberty had a lengthy conversation with Mrs. Stone. Mrs. Stone offered to give Liberty and Serenity two houses, but after consulting with her sister, Liberty declined the generous offer. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Stone also wished to give each of her nieces a lump sum of money to improve the sisters\u2019 material lives, but Liberty turned down that kind gesture as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 685 Elisa overheard the entire conversation between Liberty and Mike.
