Chapter 592
Elisa only discovered later that she missed out on great fun.
She took a dig at Jasmine and Serenity.
Jasmine had mentioned and warned Serenity about including Elisa, but Serenity did not want to expose the young heiress to such crudeness.
Sure, Elisa was born into privilege, but she was Elisa Stone, a well–known unreasonable and rude brat in Wiltspoon’s higher society. No crudeness could scare her.
In fact, Elisa would be the sh*t–stirrer if people caught her at the wrong time.
“My sister got what she was owed. It was just the renovation costs that the Browns refused to return. So, my sister called me to bring some men and trashed the furnishings.”
Mrs. Stone commended the act. “That’s the way to do it. Why should the Browns have it easy?”

It dawned on Serenity that Elisa got her personality from her mother.
“Seren, come home with us when you close the shop later. Have dinner with us. That reminds me, does your husband have time? Get him to join us too.”
Serenity replied, “My husband is away on business today. It’d probably be some time before he returns. I’ll visit you with him when he comes back.”
“Oh, he’s away on business. I guess I’ll have to wait until I get to meet him.”
Mrs. Stone was not bothered that she could not meet her niece’s husband as her full attention was on her nieces.
Now that she had found her nieces, Mrs. Stone had the girls‘ backs all the way. She needed to check out if Serenity’s husband was worth spending the rest of her time with.
“So your sister gets off work at half–past five?”
“Yeah.”
Mrs. Stone looked at the time. “Where is your sister working?”
“Lewis & Co.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Stone remarked, “There’s a lot of potential to grow in Lewis & Co. Duncan has a knack in business. He built the company from the ground up without help from his family, and now he’s worth billions. His brothers are not worth as much if they only count their inheritance from the family.”
Duncan made it out on his own, and Mrs. Stone had a great appreciation for young independent professionals.

“We can wait at Lewis & Co. for your sister to clock out later before heading to my place for dinner. I’ll call your cousins to join us too.”
Mrs. Stone then told her daughter–in–law, “Alice, let Clive know for him to cancel his social dinner tonight and come home for dinner.”
“Sure.”
“That reminds me, Seren. This is your oldest cousin’s wife, Alice Lafayette.”

Elisa was older than Serenity by a year which made her the older cousin.
Serenity greeted her newfound family.
Mr. Stone, her uncle, was a gentle giant while Alice, her cousin–in–law, was a straight shooter like Elisa. It was no wonder Alice and Elisa hit it off, birds of a feather flocked together.
Mrs. Stone went on to hold Serenity’s hand, asking about her sister.
Although Mrs. Stone believed her sister’s adoptive parents were cruel to take four hundred thousand dollars out of the insurance payment, she was not steamed up about it.
No matter what, the family had raised her sister.
The four hundred thousand dollars was to end the relationship between them and her sister on a good note
“Are your grandparents still staying in the house built by your parents?”
Yes. They planned to pass the house down to one of my cousins after their passing. They said that Liberty and I don’t have the rights to the house because we’re women.”
