Chapter 1237

Lily carried on talking. “You told me about this. Serenity and Liberty are sisters. Serenity lost her parents at the age of ten, and it was her sister who raised her. Her sister taught her everything she knew. Serenity’s character is the reflection of Liberty’s.

“I believe Liberty isn’t that kind of woman. Maybe she’ll become my rival in love, but it won’t be her intention. The problem lies with Duncan.”

Lily was not a sheltered princess. She held a high position at Harmon Corporation and was well–

traveled. Her perspective of the world was likely broader than Mrs. Lewis’s.

“But now that I know about this, it should be enough warning to keep me on my toes.”

Lily was lost in her thoughts. She should pull Duncan to her corner before sparks started to ignite between Duncan and Liberty. That way, Duncan would be hers.

If…She were to lose to Liberty…

Lily stopped her thoughts from wandering further. She refused to imagine a potential loss.

She was way superior to Liberty in every way. Duncan would be blind to pick a divorcee like Liberty over her.

Liberty, who was back in her hometown with her sister to re–sign a contract with the Hunts, could not stop sneezing.

“Did you catch a cold, Liberty? Get Dr. Sullivan to look at you when you go out later.” Dr. Sullivan was a famous general practitioner around the nearby towns. He had his own clinic. It was the go–to place for any minor ailment.

Serenity and her sister often saw Dr. Sullivan when they were little.

“I don’t have the symptoms of a cold, so I don’t think that’s it.” Rubbing her ear, Liberty asked her sister, “Do you think my ear is red, Seren? I get a burning sensation. Maybe someone is talking bad about me.”

Serenity took a look at one side of her sister’s ears. It appeared red.

She said, “The customers must be saying something because you aren’t open for business today.”

The only person who would speak ill of Liberty was Jessica and no one else.

The Browns probably would not badmouth the sisters anymore.

Feeling her reddish ear, Liberty put the matter behind her.

Further to what was discussed the day before, the sisters signed a new agreement with Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.

The size of the house and vacant land left behind by Serenity’s parents were measured. Since half of the land belonged to their mother, Lisa, the sisters invited their maternal grandparents over.

The Howdens had heard that Serenity and Liberty were back to fight for the property. They were aware that Serenity had married a rich man and reconnected with their aunt. Their aunt was the wife of a wealthy and powerful family too.

It was a worry to the Howdens that Serenity might come after them since they took four hundred thousand dollars of the insurance money back then.

It was a good thing Serenity did nothing of that sort.

No matter what, the Howdens raised Lisa.

Despite learning that Serenity married well, the Howdens did not kick up a fuss or try to benefit from Serenity like the Hunts. All they hoped was for Serenity and Liberty not to hold a grudge against them.

That was why Serenity’s maternal grandparents were happy to sign Lisa’s share of the inheritance over to the sisters when Serenity sent people to pick them up.

As such, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had equal shares of the property with Serenity and Liberty.

Although the old couple had possession of several hundred square feet, one thing to take into consideration was the different rates between the vacant land and the built property.

Serenity did the math, not taking advantage of Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s rights or compromising her and her sister’s own.

This time, they had a lot of witnesses at the signing of the agreement.

Old Mr. Hunt must have said something to his wife because Old Mrs. Hunt was a lot more pleasant to Serenity and Liberty now. She did not make a scene like the last time. Instead, she was cooperative with signing the contract.
