After the couple finished breakfast, Zachary took his keys to send Serenity to work. As the
couple walked down the stairs, the awaiting squad of bodyguards downstairs scattered and pretended
to be passers-by.
Taking notice of the luxury sedans parked downstairs , including a Rolls Royce, Serenity said to
Zachary, “I know we‘re living in a nice neighborhood, but I didn‘t expect to see a Rolls Royce here.”
Since the Rolls Royce owner could afford such an expensive car, they should be living in a huge
mansion.
Why did they live in an apartment building instead? Was it because the place was closer to work or
their children‘s school?
Serenity could never understand the world of the wealthy.
Zachary answered, “Yeah. Looks can be unassuming. There are many who are rich but keep a low
profile.”
Serenity thought to herself, ‘As if a Rolls Royce screams a low profile.
Playing it cool, Zachary took the wheel of his national MPV and drove his wife to work.
Once he was gone, the bodyguards regrouped and exchanged glances. In the end, they reached a
consensus that they would follow behind Mr. Zachary in secret and wait for him to drop the missus off
before taking him to the office. Serenity had no idea that her man was the unassuming rich man.
Despite owning a Rolls Royce , he took her to work in a ten–thousand–dollar car.
She called Liberty to tell her that Grandmom was sick. As the Hunts intended to have her treated in a
hospital in the city, Serenity warned Liberty against footing the medical bill.
Although it had been years since the sisters returned to their hometown, the sisters caught wind that
their relatives were living the life there. Their cousins were doing quite well for themselves in their own
careers and businesses.
Their grandparents were blessed with many children and grandchildren, so it was not the sisters‘ job to
take care of an absent grandmother‘s medical fees.
Since Liberty was five years older than Serenity, she had a better understanding of the relatives and
harbored a greater grudge. She resented both the paternal and maternal sides of the family.
Liberty scoffed coldly. “I don‘t have the money. Even if I
do, I won‘t chip in for the old hag‘s bills. Seren, don‘t pick up their calls anymore. Block them all.
“These people are bloodsuckers. We can forget about getting rid of them if you even give in just once.”
Liberty learned a painful lesson.
“I‘m one step ahead. I‘ve blocked his number, Liberty.”
“Good.” Liberty could relax now.
It was a good thing that the Hunts had no clue of the sisters‘ current addresses.
Liberty was not staying at her previous address after getting married. Plus, she threw the Hunts out
when they brazenly demanded money. Surely, these people would not have the audacity to look for
Liberty anymore.
“Seren, invite Zachary over for dinner tonight.”
Serenity took a glance at Zachary and asked, “My sister said dinner at her place tonight. Do you have
time today?” “We should go since she invited us. Just say yes.”
The couple had a squabble after last night‘s debacle. ” Knowing that he was in the wrong, Zachary
adopted a more tolerant attitude and was down with whatever Serenity had planned.
