As Mr. Stone and his daughter were busy tending to Mrs. Stone, only then Alice remembered to bring back the DNA report. Alice handed the DNA test results to Serenity so that the latter could have a look herself.After reading the outcome, Serenity fell silent for a while before putting the paper on the table. “You’re my niece, Serenity. Call me Aunt Audrey.” Although fate had separated her from her sister, it was sort of a consolation for Mrs. Stone to have found two nieces in return. Holding Serenity’s hand, Mrs. Stone asked the girl for a more intimate form of address. “Where’s Liberty and Sonny?” Her other niece was not forgotten. “My sister won’t be here for lunch. She’ll be here once she gets off work at half-past five in the evening.” Serenity explained while looking at Jasmine. With Jasmine carrying Sonny over, Serenity took her nephew from her best friend. “Ma’am…” Mrs. Stone interrupted Serenity mid-sentence. “It’s Aunt Audrey to you, Seren. I’ve been drea

This was the mindset of the older generation. They believed the inheritance should stay in the family by leaving them to the sons and grandsons as daughters would only grow up to marry into another family. For families without a direct descendant to bequeath the inheritance to, fellow townspeople would be eyeing the property. They would keep the wealth in the town. Many were unwilling to leave their hard-earned assets to someone who did not carry the family name. Hence, they would try to bring a son into the family. “Are you talking about John Hunt by chance?” John’s name rang a bell as he was once a senior executive at one of the Stones’ subsidiaries. John made a million dollars annually. For John to earn a huge chunk of change from the Stones, to push around her nieces, and to take over her sister’s property, Mrs. Stone could not say he left a good impression. She needed to get Clive to go hard on John so the latter would not be able to even make a living out of begging

Liberty did not have to look to know who it was. The voice was all too familiar to her. It was Chelsea, her former notorious sister-in-law. Mrs. Brown brought her daughter to Lewis & Co., but Liberty had her lunch at the office cafeteria instead of having it at home. She took a power nap at her desk before continuing her work. All the while, she did not leave the office. The mother and daughter were on a stakeout in front of the office building the whole afternoon. Tempers were flaring, to say the least. Now that Liberty was finally out, Chelsea’s fury had risen to an all-time high. Without regard to the building crowd, she yelled and caught the attention of many. The nosy passersby stopped to watch the drama unfold. Although Liberty was only a measly clerk in the finance department, she was personally hired by Mr. Lewis. That was how she became well-known in the company. The director of the finance department was worried about losing her job as she found out that Lib

Black in the face, Duncan asked, “What’s going on here?” Chelsea got up from the ground and tried to charge at Liberty, but Duncan pushed her away. It took a few steps before Chelsea could steady her balance. Chelsea looked up and saw a towering man with a scowl standing by Liberty. The scar on the man’s face was terrifying. She might have nightmares if she stared at the scar long enough. Shaking in her boots, Chelsea lost the will to pounce on Liberty. Mrs. Brown hurried to her daughter’s side. The mother and daughter were a hot mess, but so was Liberty. The few security guards and female employees who tried intervening in the fight looked disheveled. It never crossed their minds that the fight between two parties involving three women could get so wild. It was impossible to tear them apart. “Who are you?” After catching her breath, Chelsea questioned Duncan. “I’m the boss of this company, and who are you? Who are you to come to my place of business and kick my

The group had only elbowed their way into the crowd when Serenity cried, “Liberty.” Sonny called for his mother. It was not hard to take stock of the situation when Serenity saw Chelsea and her mom as well as the disheveled state her sister was in. Boy, she was riled up. Putting Sonny in her sister’s arms, Serenity rolled up her sleeve and was ready to get into a fight. “Seren.” Mrs. Stone worked fast and swiftly stopped Serenity from trying to stick up for her sister. “Seren, leave it to the cops to handle this.” The cops had been called. It would not look good on Serenity to fight in front of the cops. “Mr. Stone. Mrs. Stone.” Duncan was surprised to see the Stones. Out of respect, he approached them and said hello. Mr. and Mrs. Stone exchanged greetings with Duncan. Mrs. Stone asked, “What’s going on here, Mr. Lewis?” Duncan replied, “Let the cops take their statements at the station, Mrs. Stone.” He then said to the cops, “Officer, my employee has suffere
