Serenity knew the Brown family too well. She was worried that the Browns and Hunts would come over and cause havoc during the opening of her sister’s new store.
The last thing anyone wanted on their store’s opening day was trouble.
Serenity asked her husband for help, requesting him to arrange for people to keep watch nearby so they could help deal with any problems as soon as possible.
Serenity, who was independent and reluctant to rely on her husband, took the initiative to ask Zachary for help. Zachary was overjoyed and felt that his wife finally thought of him as family.
He immediately agreed.
In fact, he would have arranged for people to keep watch even without her request. Like Serenity, he was also wary of the Brown and Hunt families causing trouble.
When Jessica saw all the bodyguards from the Yorks and Duncan, her madness stopped at once. Then, she looked into the store and saw that there were only Serenity, Zachary, and Elisa.
Elisa had ignored her the first time she greeted her. Jessica would never forget that arrogant and condescending expression. She had a lingering fear of Elisa.
“I-Is Hank here?” Jessica stammered as she asked Liberty.
“You can see for yourself, Ms. Yates.”
Liberty was making eggs benedict for her cousin. She only spared Jessica a glance before going back to going about her own business.
Jessica did not dare be arrogant and asked softly, “Hank and his mother went out early in the morning. His mom told me they were coming over to congratulate you on opening your store. Where would they be if not here?”
Liberty said indifferently, “He’s your man. If you don’t know where he is, how would I know?”
Jessica choked.
She looked at the surrounding bodyguards, those on guard and patrol, and smiled sheepishly. “I just came here to look for Hank, not to cause trouble. Since my husband isn’t here, I’ll leave now.”
