Chapter 644
Liberty received a phone call from a number that seemed somewhat familiar. She couldn’t recall who owned the number, but she had answered a call from it before. “It’s me, Liberty,” a childish voice echoed as soon as she picked up the phone.
“Is there anything you need, Ms. Yates?” Liberty replied. She had blocked all of the Brown family’s numbers, but she hadn’t blocked Jessica’s.
“No, but can I add you on social media?” Jessica asked, her voice still retaining its childlike tone, which made Liberty frown. “Ms. Yates, could you please speak in a normal voice?” Liberty found Jessica’s flirtatious tone off-putting; she was not Hank.
After a brief silence, Jessica changed her tone. “I want to add you as a friend. Can you accept?”
“Ms. Yates, are you dreaming, or do you have a few screws loose? You want to add me as a friend? What would we even talk about?” Liberty questioned.
“I’m not afraid of you calling me arrogant. I just want to know if you can live well after divorcing Hank. Oh, right—you received over a million dollars from him. That should last a while if you and your son are careful,” Jessica replied.
Liberty remained calm, unaffected by Jessica’s arrogance. “We still live in the same city, so you can easily find out about me if you choose to. Just wait and see how my son and I thrive.”
“I’d also like to remind you not to be too arrogant, Ms. Yates, or you might end up miserable,” Liberty cautioned.
Jessica giggled. “What should I do? It’s just who I am. Did you know that I learned about you when I joined Waltham Electronics? Everyone admired your capabilities and beauty, claiming you and Hank were a perfect couple. I got jealous of you and wanted to take everything that belonged to you.”
