Chapter 4160
After the divorce, Liberty’s life continued to improve. In contrast, Hank’s situation deteriorated. Although Zachary was orchestrating events behind the scenes to ensure Hank lost his job, no company was willing to hire him. Initially, Hank aimed to join Stone Group, hoping to ascend the ranks there. Given that Stone Group and York Corporation were long-time rivals, he believed he could establish himself and eventually seek revenge on Zachary. However, things did not unfold as he anticipated. No one expected that Audrey, one of the most influential figures at Stone Group, would turn out to be Liberty and Serenity’s long-lost aunt. Audrey had spent decades searching for her sister, only to discover her two nieces instead. Overjoyed, she embraced them as if they were her own daughters. Despite their past as romantic rivals, Elisa and Serenity forged a close friendship. Rather than competing for Zachary, they developed a bond as strong as that of real sisters. Elisa eventually let go of her long-held feelings for Zachary and found her own happiness. With Audrey’s support and Elisa’s friendship, Hank’s plans to infiltrate Stone Group completely unraveled. Left with no other options, he found himself without a direction. In Wiltspoon, aside from Stone Group, no other company was brave enough to confront York Corporation, as most businesses avoided any conflict with them. Lacking job prospects, Hank had no choice but to work for a ride-hailing service to make ends meet. In the meantime, Liberty was flourishing. Compared to her ex-husband’s decline, her life felt like sheer bliss. Duncan leaned in and kissed her cheek. “Things will only keep getting better for us.” Liberty smiled. Yes, they would. “I’m going to call Sonny.” She pulled out her phone.
Her phone rang as she thought about her son. “I usually get home late, but tonight I can leave early. Sonny should still be awake—we can have a nice, long chat.”
Duncan chuckled. “That kid gave me an earful. He scolded me for not telling him I was coming to Jensburg. I told him it was for work, but he didn’t believe me. He’s smart—even a fool wouldn’t buy that excuse, and Sonny is no fool.”
Liberty initiated a video call, and Serenity answered.
“Hey, Sis,” Serenity greeted her with a smile. “You’re home early tonight—no social events?”
“I just left the hotel. Since I had some free time, I thought I’d call Sonny before he went to bed. Most nights, I’m so busy that when he calls, it’s already late. I don’t want to keep him up and disrupt his school routine, so I usually just tell him to rest.”
Serenity noticed that Liberty was in the car with Duncan.
“Sonny’s still downstairs playing chess with Dad,” she said.
Sonny had recently learned how to play chess. He didn’t fully grasp the game yet, but that didn’t stop him from challenging Zachary’s father.
Liberty asked, “Uncle York didn’t go out?”
Serenity shook her head. “Grandma took my mother-in-law and two aunts to visit Jane. They plan to stay there until after I give birth. Dad got bored being home alone, so he came to stay with us for a while.
“Now, he takes Sonny to and from kindergarten, helps him with homework, supervises his calligraphy and piano practice, plays chess with him, and even takes him to the gym. He says having Sonny around keeps him entertained.
“Hang on, Sis—I’ll go downstairs and let you talk to him.”
As Serenity spoke, she left her room and began walking downstairs.
Liberty, still on the phone, reminded her, “Take your time. Don’t rush. Be careful on the stairs.”
As Serenity stood up, Liberty noticed her belly—it had become noticeably larger. “Sis, I’m not a kid anymore,” Serenity said with a smile. Liberty grinned back. “No matter how old you get, you will always be my little sister.” Although Serenity was now a grown woman, to Liberty, she remained the baby sister she had always looked after—the one who was five years younger but forever cherished in her heart.
