“Sonny... Sonny is still a child. Besides, his custody was given to Liberty. Hank only needs to pay three thousand a
month for child support, which will end when Sonny turns eighteen. Hank won’t need to pay if Sonny wants to buy a
house or car in the future. He has no way of fighting for the family assets.”
“People’s hearts change. The only way you’ll be sure that he won’t compete with your son for the family fortune is
if he’s dead.”
“But I don’t have a son… I don’t even have a daughter.”
“Can’t you give birth to one?”
Jessica choked.
The other party laughed. “It seems that you’re just slightly morally reprehensible, but you still have humanity in
you. I just told you about my plan. I didn’t say anything about killing Sonny.
“I want to use Sonny to lure Serenity over. She has a good relationship with her nephew, so I believe she’ll be willing
to come and see me alone.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat she wanted was for Serenity to meet her alone.
Jessica sighed in relief.
She only had the ability to steal another woman’s husband, not the ruthlessness to kill someone’s son.
“Can you guarantee that you won’t touch a hair on Sonny’s head after you take him away?”
“Sure, under the condition that he doesn’t cry or struggle. After all, he’s just bait. The person I want to take revenge
on is Serenity.”
Jessica thought in her heart, ‘How did Serenity offend such a ruthless woman?
‘Does this woman also adore Zachary? Maybe she wants to get revenge and kill Serenity because of jealousy after
finding out that they’re married? Does she want to replace Serenity?’
“How about it? Are you willing to cooperate with me, Ms. Yates?”
Jessica asked carefully, “Can I refuse?”
“You can, but you’ll have to bear the consequences... Ms. Yates, do you know what a woman’s greatest fear is?”
Jessica’s already pale face turned ashen.
“If you cooperate with me, the only person suffering would be Serenity.
“By the way, I have people surveilling all the members of the Yates family. If you don’t do what I ask after agreeing
to work with me, I’m afraid misfortune might befall your family.
“Don’t think of this as merely an intimidation. I’m a woman of my word.”
Jessica paused. “Can you give me some time to think about it?”
“No!
“Do you agree or not?”
Jessica saw seven to eight burly men wearing black masks and sunglasses coming out from other rooms. Her legs
shook as she said in an unsteady voice, “I-I’ll do it.”
“I knew you were a smart woman, Ms. Yates. The Hunt sisters are also your enemies.”
Jessica did not dare say anything.
...
“Achoo!”

The man beside her immediately asked with concern, “Did you catch a cold?”
“No, I’m fine. I just sneezed because my nose felt itchy. No need to fuss about it.”
Zachary reached over to embrace her, letting her lean in his arms. He said softly, “Don’t go back to the store after
lunch break. Rest for the day.”
After Liberty treated everyone to a meal, those who had to work went back to work. Liberty took Duncan’s car and
went back to the rental place with her son to rest.
She was running a breakfast diner, so it was fine for her to close in the afternoon.
Serenity leaned on Zachary’s firm chest. She felt a sense of security as he held her, and all the nerves in her body
relaxed. She yawned and closed her eyes, muttering, “I still have to go back to the bookstore in the afternoon to
continue discussing the investment.
“There’s also another banquet tomorrow night. This is the consequence of my asking Aunt Audrey for help. I have
no choice but to go through with it.”
Serenity felt that she was getting busier after becoming the missus of the York family.
