Chapter 92
“Seren and I will handle this situation,” Liberty assured Hank. “You don’t need to worry. You won’t be caught in the middle of anything.” She continued, “If it comes down to it, we can consider getting a divorce if they come after you for money. That way, they won’t have any reason to pursue you since you wouldn’t be connected to me.”
Hank replied immediately, his tone laced with concern, “What are you talking about, Liberty? Divorce? My main worry is Sonny.” While Hank contemplated the possibility of divorce, he knew his son was still young and needed him.
He sensed Liberty’s disappointment as he thought about the implications of custody. Even if he won custody of Sonny, who would take care of the child? Hank was determined to wait until Sonny was older and more independent before proceeding with any divorce.
Jessica frequently reminded Hank that she did not want to be a mistress hidden away in the shadows. If he truly loved her, she insisted, he should divorce Liberty and be with her. Under Jessica’s influence, Hank seemed to cater to her every desire. While he split expenses with Liberty and was reluctant to contribute more to their living situation, he was quite generous with Jessica.
Tonight, Hank had a dinner date with Jessica at an upscale five-star hotel.
“Alright then, I should get back to work now,” Hank said, cutting the conversation short. “Call me if you need anything.” He ended the call before Liberty had a chance to respond.
In contrast to Hank’s desire to distance himself from the unfolding drama, Zachary was more reflective. He had little time to keep up with the latest gossip. Meanwhile, Josh instructed his secretary to keep an eye on developments as he was assigned to investigate the Hunts. In her research, the secretary stumbled upon the scandal involving the Hunt sisters while looking into a viral tweet regarding their CEO. She promptly informed Josh about her findings.
Josh wasted no time and called his boss to relay the information.
While reviewing the file on the Hunts, I became aware of Mike’s connections to the press. He foresaw that the relatives could potentially rally the online community against Serenity to gain an advantage. As it turned out, his prediction was accurate.
Rather than contacting Serenity first, Zachary decided to leave his current tasks to his team and headed directly to her location. By the time he arrived at the shop, Serenity was already surrounded by neighbors. Instead of confronting her aggressively, they simply asked if the online story was true.
