Chapter 599

The group had only elbowed their way into the crowd when Serenity cried, “Liberty.”

Sonny called for her mother.

It was not hard to take stock of the situation when Serenity saw Chelsea and her mom as well as the disheveled state her sister was in.

Boy, she was riled up.

Putting Sonny in her sister’s arms, Serenity rolled up her sleeve and was ready to get into a fight.

“Seren.”

Mrs. Stone worked fast and swiftly stopped Serenity from trying to stick up for her sister. Seren, leave it to the cops to handle this.”

The cops had been called. It would not look good on Serenity to fight in front of the cops.

“Mr. Stone. Mrs. Stone.”

Duncan was surprised to see the Stones. Out of respect, he approached them and said. hello.

Mr. and Mrs. Stone exchanged greetings with Duncan.

Mrs. Stone asked, “What’s going on here, Mr. Lewis?”

Duncan replied, “Let the cops take their statements at the station, Mrs. Stone.”

He then said to the cops, “Officer, my employee has suffered enough. Her former in–laws came here to stir trouble even though she’s separated from her husband. It’s clear that she was often abused before the divorce.

“Please get justice for my employee.”

The cops knew that Duncan would not consider a reconciliation. Hence, they brought both parties to the station.

Duncan and the Stone family tagged along.

Having gotten the details of the fight while driving her sister to the station, Serenity ran her mouth.

“That family is a piece of trash. I would’ve beaten them to a pulp if I had arrived sooner.

“Don’t accept their apology, Liberty. Let the cops hold them in custody.”

Liberty held her son tightly and answered, “I won’t accept their apology. They went too far this time!

They demanded I pay the money that Granddad extorted from them.”

Serenity explained, “Your former mother–in–law is a moron. I can’t believe she went to look for Granddad so he could talk you out of getting a divorce. Only that family would ask for money from your former mother–in–law.

“After you and Hank divorced, your former mother–in–law must have felt that her money had gone to waste, so she went to tear one into Granddad. The old b*stard wouldn’t lose a screaming match. They probably think you were a pushover and tried their luck with you.”

Liberty replied, “I kind of knew they would give me hell after the divorce. That’s why I rented a place and kept the address from them, I also blocked their numbers. It never occurred to me that they would wait for me at my office building. I bet Hank told them.”

Only Hank knew that she was working at Lewis & Co.

“They will tone down their cocky attitude when they’ve experienced some jail time. I wished the whole family could be locked up behind bars,” Serenity uttered resentfully.

The sisters did not want to push anybody around, but it did not mean they were pushovers.

Although Liberty and Hank were married, and the assets were split evenly, Liberty would still be seeing Hank’s family as they had Sonny between them. There was no need to turn into enemies and cause a commotion.

The Browns believed that Liberty’s relatives could have done more to talk Liberty out of the divorce.

They believed Liberty would pay up to stop all the fuss.

The group arrived at the station ten minutes later.

Chelsea and her mother were terrified. They immediately called Hank and Mr. Brown while on their way, requesting their presence at the station.

The mother and daughter kept apologizing to Liberty in the station, begging Liberty not to press charges.

Mrs. Brown even brought Sonny into the picture. “Liberty, Chelsea and I were wrong. No matter what, I’m Sonny’s grandmother. Please forgive us for Sonny’s sake. I promise we won’t mess with you again.”

She then tugged on her daughter, hinting at Chelsea to apologize to Liberty once more.
