Chapter 592
Married at First Sight
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 wellâknown unreasonable and rude brat in Wiltspoonâs higher society. No crudeness could scare her.
In fact, Elisa would be the sh*tâstirrer if people caught her at the wrong time.
âMy 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.â
Mrs. Stone commended the act. âThatâs the way to do it. Why should the Browns have it easy?â
She added regrettably, âIâd have brought a bunch of people and demanded the money back from the Browns as your family member had I known.â
It dawned on Serenity that Elisa got her personality from her mother.
âSeren, 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.â
Serenity replied, âMy husband is away on business today. Itâd probably be some time before he returns.
Iâll visit you with him when he comes back.â
âOh, heâs away on business. I guess Iâll have to wait until I get to meet him.â
Mrs. Stone was not bothered that she could not meet her nieceâs husband as her full attention was on her nieces.
Now that she had found her nieces, Mrs. Stone had the girlsâ backs all the way. She needed to check out if Serenityâs husband was worth spending the rest of her time with.
âSo your sister gets off work at halfâpast five?â
âYeah.â
Mrs. Stone looked at the time. âWhere is your sister working?â
âLewis & Co.â
âOkay.â Mrs. Stone remarked, âThereâs 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 heâs worth billions. His brothers are not worth as much if they only count their inheritance from the family.â
Duncan made it out on his own, and Mrs. Stone had a great appreciation for young independent professionals.
âWe can wait at Lewis & Co. for your sister to clock out later before heading to my place for dinner. Iâll call your cousins to join us too.â
Mrs. Stone then told her daughterâinâlaw, âAlice, let Clive know for him to cancel his social dinner tonight and come home for dinner.â
âSure.â
âThat reminds me, Seren. This is your oldest cousinâs wife, Alice Lafayette.â
slipped Mrs. Stoneâs mind to introduce her niece to the family.
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 cousinâinâlaw, 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 Serenityâs hand, asking about her sister.
Although Mrs. Stone believed her sisterâs 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 âAre your grandparents still staying in the house built by your parents?â
Yes. They planned to pass the house down to one of my cousins after their passing. They said that Liberty and I donât have the rights to the house because weâre women.â
