Chapter 315
Chapter 315 Chelsea was about to give Liberty a good dressing–down when her mother secretly
tugged the hem of her blouse. Chelsea had to get to grips with her rage. Serenity helped her sister to
push the stroller into the house.

Having overheard Chelsea‘s remark that her sister should fork out three hundred bucks out of her
pocket for seafood, Serenity could lose it.
These people were unbelievable.
“Mom.”
Chelsea waited until Serenity and Liberty were inside the house before whispering to her mother, “Why
didn‘t you let me give her a piece of my mind? She eats, sleeps, and spends at my brother‘s expense!
We came here for dinner, and she wants to count with Hank to the last dime.”

“Your brother‘s going halves with Liberty now. We‘re Hank‘s family. Since we‘re here for dinner,
Liberty‘s only following the system. Do you think she‘ll do the school runs and cook for your children if
you make her mad?”

Chelsea got over her anger now that she remembered the main reason she was here today.
Nevertheless, she whined under her breath. She believed her brother had a wife for nothing. Liberty
was dismissive of her mother–in–law and sister–in–law.
“School is almost out, Seren. You should hurry back to the shop to help. I‘m fine here.”
Liberty urged her sister to leave.
“I‘m a bit wary to go, Liberty.”
“Don‘t worry. I‘m not going to put up with their nonsense. You should get back to work. I‘ll call you if I
need help.”
Serenity still did not want to leave.
“You‘re out a lot, leaving Jasmine to watch the shop. You can‘t keep up with this even if you‘re best
friends. You should get back to the shop and sell some stuff.”
“Jasmine understands. She told me to prioritize you. Don‘t worry about the shop.” “Still, you can‘t do
that just because she doesn‘t mind it. It‘s not very nice. Go on. I can manage on my own. It‘ll be fine. I
don‘t mind chasing them down a few blocks with a knife if they pick on me.”

With her sister rushing her to go, Serenity replied, “I‘ll head back to the shop then. Don‘t take on too
much stuff. Just do what‘s worth two hundred bucks.”
“Of course. I was their free housekeeper for more than
three years. Even housekeepers earn their keep. I don‘t get a salary and get yelled at for spending
money and doing nothing all day.” Now that she was dead inside, Liberty was not going to tolerate the
abuse anymore.
“Take away the seafood you gave me. I don‘t know when they‘ll be leaving. I was thinking of hiding it in
my room, but the seafood might go bad. You should bring the seafood back and keep it in your fridge.
Don‘t waste it on them.”
With Hank insisting on going Dutch, Liberty started to count her pennies over every detail with the
family.

“Okay.”
Serenity did not want to let Mrs. Brown and Chelsea have it too.
Liberty took the seafood out from the fridge for her sister to store elsewhere.
Serenity carried a big bag of seafood out when Mrs. Brown and Chelsea entered the house. They could
not help but notice the large bag in Serenity‘s hand. However, the mother and daughter could not tell
what it was as the bag was layered with multiple plastic covers.
“Are you leaving, Serenity? Aren‘t you staying for dinner?” Mrs. Brown asked Serenity to stay with a
smile. “No. It‘s rush hour at the shop. I should head back to
help.”
“I see. Take care then.”
Standing at the door, Mrs. Brown watched as Serenity entered the elevator. She only went into the
house and closed the door behind her when the elevator doors shut.
Liberty was busy in the kitchen.
Pretending to know nothing about Hank‘s affair, she was occupied in the kitchen like before whenever
her mother –in–law and sister–in–law came by.
Of course, she would ask for money this time.
Sonny was playing in the living room. He dragged out a box of his toys and poured the toys onto the
floor.
