**Chapter 686**<\/p>\n

Liberty said to Mrs. Stone, \u201cAunt Audrey, Seren and I are young and capable. We don\u2019t need your assistance. Please don\u2019t worry too much about us; have confidence in our abilities. We will reach the top through our own efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have one request,\u201d she continued. \u201cPlease try not to let everyone know that Seren and I are your nieces. We have encountered all kinds of people and the darker sides of humanity. I worry that others might exploit our connection to you or to the Stone Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

After some reflection, Mrs. Stone replied, \u201cI\u2019m glad to hear you feel that way, Liberty. You and Seren are both strong-willed like me. I\u2019ll take a step back since you don\u2019t need my help, but please let me know if things become difficult for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if others are unaware of our relationship, but your relatives must know, or they will continue to hound you girls for money.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reputation of the Stone Group could be beneficial at times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey already know that Elisa stands behind us,\u201d Liberty replied, recalling Elisa\u2019s confrontation with the Hunts at the shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t actively inform them, but I might use your name to apply pressure when we take them to court to reclaim our parents\u2019 home. It should work to our advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me know when you plan to initiate the legal proceedings. I can help you hire the best lawyer. Given the inheritance laws, you should win the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liberty was confident that she and her sister would regain the house through legal means. However, the Hunts were unscrupulous and would not concede easily. Even if the sisters triumphed in court, the Hunts would likely feign ignorance. The sisters would need to pull out all the stops and leverage Aunt Audrey\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

After their lengthy conversation, Mrs. Stone kept her promise and watched over her nieces from a distance, refraining from interfering in their lives. <\/p>\n

It was only right to allow the girls to navigate their own paths.<\/p>\n

It took Zachary a week to recover from his nasty cold. Meanwhile, Callum took over the work while Zachary was in the hospital and returned to Wiltspoon a day before Zachary was scheduled to be discharged. With New Year approaching, most factories had announced their Christmas and New Year closure dates. York Corporation was racing against year-end deadlines, and after consulting with Zachary, it was decided that employees could take leave during the holiday season. Zachary remembered his wife\u2019s words, promising himself a treat once he regained his health. <\/p>\n

Upon returning to the apartment provided by the subsidiary company, Zachary began packing. \u201cWhy are you packing your things, Zachary?\u201d Serenity asked, confused, as they had just returned from the hospital. \u201cSeren,\u201d he said, turning to face her and gently pressing down on her shoulders as their eyes met. He softly said, \u201cThis isn\u2019t our home. I don\u2019t want to spend our first night here.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity\u2019s beautiful eyes sparkled. \u201cOh, you remember what I said.\u201d Zachary pulled her close, leaning in to nuzzle against her. He whispered in her ear, \u201cI don\u2019t recall when you swore at me, but I won\u2019t forget that you mentioned going all the way with me. To make that happen, I\u2019ve been mustering the courage to endure the shots over the past week.\u201d <\/p>\n

It was an arduous task! He had to take one shot each day. In private, Zachary had complained to Mr. Tank about the large needles, feeling the doctor could have opted for a smaller one. \u201cDid it hurt that much?\u201d Serenity asked, feeling sympathy for Zachary as he endured those shots. It was indeed a tough experience for him, having to face a shot every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hurt, but I\u2019m feeling better now. How about you give me some sugar to help ease the pain?\u201d<\/div>\n
With a smile, Serenity wrapped her arms around the back of Zachary\u2019s neck and pressed her lips against his.<\/div>\n
