After walking Serenity to the door and seeing her drive away, Mrs. Stone turned on her heel and returned to the house.
No sooner had Serenity returned to the shop than Jessica barged in.
Serenity was surprised by Jessica showing up.
“Where’s your sister, Serenity?” Jessica shot the question the moment she walked into the shop.
“What business do you have with my sister, Mrs. Brown?” Serenity put away her car keys and faintly asked Jessica.
Jasmine kept her eyes peeled, ready with a broom for when Jessica got out of line.
Jessica was black and blue in the face. With that black eye, she appeared rather gaunt.
She was only twenty-five years old, a year younger than Serenity. Yet, Jessica looked a lot older than Serenity right now.
It was probably because Hank did want to foot the bills for her expensive skincare products now that he got the girl. Liberty had a better skincare routine than Jessica currently.
Serenity had no sympathy for Jessica despite how she looked now. In fact, Serenity believed Jessica deserved it.
“I need to have a talk with her.”
Jessica was black and blue from getting beaten up by her sister-in-law and parents-in-law. Although her face was no longer swelling, the bruises were still apparent. She did not want to go back to her parents as her parents and brothers would only jump down her throat.
She secretly eloped with Hank, causing her parents to miss out on getting a substantial financial gift.
