It had never been Liberty's wish to marry into a wealthy family. The sisters were not ones with wishful ambitions.
Grandma May gave up on the idea.

He would probably travel through the rawave to give Duncan a beating if the guy was not his best friend.
Serenity was still asleep. Zachary gave her a peck on the lips before grabbing his phone. He tiptoed out of the private resting room and approached a sofa to lie down like Duncan was.
“What do you want?” Duncan's mind was still blank by the this best friend answered, so he replied, ” Nothing.” Zachary flipped out.
He dialed Duncan's number.
Once Duncan picked up the call, Zachary gave Duncan a piece of his mind.
Duncan said, “I don’t think you're Zachary... You can’t be Zachary with language like that.” “I would've beaten you up if you weren't Duncan. It’s been rough for me. Seren only went soft onwhen it cto my health.
She finally agreed to move back withand makepacked lunches to watch my nutrition. Nothing's bothering you, and yet you cto disrupt my sleep. You were asking for it.” Duncan chuckled. “Oh, did you kiss and make up? Let's have dinner sometsince all is good now. | couldn’t ask you out when you weren't in the best of moods.
Alcohol is the last thing you need.” Zachary felt better after tearing Duncan a new one.
“Hurry up and tellwhat's on your mind. Otherwise, don’t disturb my break.
Everybody knew that he would rest after lunch.

Was Duncan bragging to him about collecting rent? Zachary rented out commercial spaces too, and his annual rental incwas a lot more than Duncan's.
Duncan fell silent before replying, “Man, you're all riled up. | guess you aren't getting something.” “We'll see if you'll be happy when | intrude on your intimate moment with your girl.” “My woman is not born yet. | might not find someone forever. You and Josh found your special someone, so we belong to different worlds now. I'm cutting ties with you two.” It was a joke.
“That reminds me. Do you know that the Zimmers went bankrupt? Their house is up for sale to pay the debt. Are you interested in buying?” “I'd rather invest in new development. The Zimmers might have a spacious villa, but it's secondhand.” Duncan uttered with a smile, “The Zimmers are the Stones’ neighbor. By the Stone family, | mean your wife's aunt. You could give the place a complete facelift if you purchase it. It can make a nice marital hand give your wife easy access to her aunt's place.
“I bet your wife will be happy.” Zachary was speechless.
