Chapter 601
Married at First Sight
âMom.â
Hank entered the station, only to find her mother falling off the chair. Taking quick paces, he went up to pick his mother up. However, her mother could not stand still and was weak.in her knees.
âWhat happened to you, Mom?â
Hank picked the chair up and helped his mother to sit down.
His mother stared at Liberty with a complicated look on her face.
Hank took a glance at her sister and found her with her jaw dropped while color drained from her face.
âAre you alright, Mrs. Brown?â
Having tagged along Hank, Jessica asked Mrs. Brown with concern.
She then turned her attention to Liberty with the intention to rip one into her. Even if Liberty was divorced, she should not have scared her former mother-in-law. Nevertheless, Jessica was taken aback by Elisaâs presence. Jessica thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Mrs. Stone and the others were not public figures, but Elisa was famous and went viral for courting Zachary. Without a doubt, Jessica knew who she was.
At the time, she was envious of Elisaâs entitlement to go after Zachary.
âIs that you, Ms. Stone?â Jessica asked.
Elisa lifted her chin high. âWho are you?â
âItâs really you, Ms. Stone. Iâm Jessica Yates, the secretary to the manager of Waltham Electronics.â
Jessica excitedly whipped out her business card and handed one to Elisa.
Without putting her hand out, Elisa uttered in disdain, âYouâre the homewrecker who destroyed Libertyâs marriage. Donât give me any business cards because I only accept them from decent human beings, not floozies.â
Jessica was speechless.
Her cheeks burned with shades of red.
Embarrassed, Jessica withdrew her arm.
Although his mother and sister were not talking, Hank knew from Liberty and his sisterâs bruises that they had a fight. Since his mother and sister had probably started it, Hank immediately apologized to Liberty.
âIâm sorry, Liberty. I apologize on my mother and sisterâs behalf no matter what they did. Iâm sorry. Iâll tell them off and stop them from ever bothering you.
âPlease, for Sonnyâs sake, can you overlook this once? Iâll meet your demands, whatever they may be.â
Afraid that his mother and sister would end up in jail, Hank took the initiative to apologize and was open to hearing Libertyâs demands.
The police officers believed that it was best to have family disputes resolved.
âLibertyâ¦â
Mrs. Brown fell to the ground, but this time, on her knees.
âI had no conscience. I was wrong, Liberty. I deserve to die. Please forgive me. I wonât give you trouble anymore. Iâm begging you. Please find it in your heart to forgive Chelsea and I.â
If the kneeling was not enough, Mrs. Brown even bowed earnestly at Liberty.
Carrying her son, Liberty turned away to refuse the gesture.
âI was wrong, Liberty. I was wrong. I deserve to die.â
Mrs. Brown raised her arm and slapped herself.
âMom.â
Hank immediately stopped his mother.
Snapping out of her shock, Chelsea got on her knees together with her mom and pleaded, â It was my fault, Liberty. I shouldnât have twisted the facts and hit you. Please forgive me.
âWeâve known each other for more than a decade, and Iâm Sonnyâs aunt. Please forgive us. Itâs not good for Sonny if we were locked behind bars. Sonny would have a grandmother and aunt with a criminal record.â
