Liberty stopped wiping the table and walked out with a cloth in her hand. With a smile, she watched as her sister carried her son out of the car.
“Mommy.”

With the little man on his way to his mother, Serenity gleefully said to her sister, “I spend a lot of time with him, but he’s still the closest to his morn.”
“Of course. You should consider one of your own since you and Zachary love children.”
Liberty poked fun at her sister while keeping an eye on her expression. Seeing that her sister smiled without saying anything, Liberty knew that the couple had not gotten over their differences.

Picking her son up, Liberty entered the restaurant with her sister.
Following the question, Serenity hurried back to the car to retrieve the envelope. It contained all of Zachary’s assets.
Back at the restaurant, Serenity asked why the workers were not around, “Is the renovation completed?”
“Yeah. They just finished. I told them I’ll clean up the place and see if there were any alterations to be made. I’ll pay them for their work tomorrow if everything’s good.”
Liberty put down her son to play around in the restaurant. She went and poured her sister a drink. The sisters then took a seat at a table.
The table had been wiped and polished clean multiple times before.
“Liberty, you’re an eager beaver, aren’t you?”
Liberty answered with a grin, “Duh. It’s for Sonny’s and my future. I will give my My goal is to open All You Can Eat restaurant chains all over Wiltspoon.”
“I believe you can do it.”
Serenity gave the envelope to her sister for a look. “Zachary gave this to me. I didn’t want it, so he compromised by askingto hold onto it. He hasn’t really understood what I really want.”
Liberty asked what it was while taking the document out of the envelope. All she saw were title deeds, car keys, and a transfer of York Corporation’s equity. The shares of York Corporation were worth a fortune.
“Zachary gave this to you?!”
Liberty’s eyes widened.

It was all thanks to Zachary for collecting proof of Hank’s side gig that Liberty was able to threaten Hank to get a cut of his estate and custody rights to her son. She would still receive smoney if she took Hank to court, but she would not receive as much as she had had.
Zachary was loaded. To provide her sister with assurance, he was willing to give everything he owned to her.
It had to be love that drove him to do so. If that was not love, Liberty did not know what was.
Zachary was not just giving Serenity his asset, but he was also giving his love.
“I think we’re two very different people. It took him a week to cto this decision of leavinghis assets. He said he’ll run the company, but the profits will belong to me. He believed I would get a sense of security now that I have the upper hand. He doesn’t think there’s a social gap between us.
“The only thing he’s asking for is that I don’t leave. I can’t divorce him.”
Serenity smiled bitterly and added, “He’s only looking at the problem on the surface, Liberty. He hasn’t delved into what is setting us apart. He doesn’t knowwell enough.”
Liberty told her off, “You have only known each other for as long as you have been married. It’s understandable that he doesn’t know you well. Can you say with confidence that you know him inside out too?”
