Chapter 578
“Serenity, where’s your sister? Tell her to answer her phone!”
Olivia was blunt and it was clear that she was livid.
“Why are you looking for my sister?The last I checked, my sister has nothing to do with your family anymore. What do you want?” Serenity spoke casually.
She guessed Olivia called because the latter found out that the renovations to the house were smashed and wanted to settle the score with Liberty in a fit of anger.
Their reaction was actually rather slow.
It was no wonder Olivia did not know about it until now.
On the day Liberty and Hank divorced, the old couple took a taxi home after the formalities were done
They wanted to move into Hank’s house the next day.
Chelsea’s children had to go back to school to get their report cards, so they waited an extra day
Today, the elementary school was officially out.
Olivia and her husband brought Chelsea’s family, driving two cars carrying large bags into the city, intending to stay there for the
New Year’s
As for why they left so early in the morning, it was also part of Olivia’s plan
She wanted to come early and make Jessica cook breakfast for the family so she could assert her authority over Jessica.
Unexpectedly, when they carried their luggage upstairs and opened the door, they were so shocked that their bags fell to the
ground. They first thought they entered the wrong home but after repeated confirmations, they were sure that they had entered
the right house.
Chelsea immediately called her brother.
Hank had been so overwhelmed with the sudden cancellation of his business partnerships for the past few days that he simply
forgot to tell his family about the wrecked house.
He was still in a daze when he received his sister’s call.
When he found out that his parents and sister had all come to the city, he finally remembered this incident and explained it to his
family. Olivia immediately called Liberty, but the latter blocked them, so they could not get in touch with her. Thus, she called
Serenity instead.
“Your sister isn’t with you?”
Olivia added, “What’s the meaning of this? She smashed up my son’s house! Don’t you know that this is illegal? We’ll call the
police!”
Serenity said coldly. “That was how the house looked when your son bought it. My sister forked out more than four hundred
thousand for the renovations, but you were unwilling to refund the fees and told her to pry the floor tiles away if she had the
ability to do so. What? Now that she has taken back the renovation fee in her own way, you can’t stand it?”
Olivia paused before reasoning, “She had lived here for several years, but we didn’t charge her rent. How could she break the
renovations into pieces?”
“My sister washed and cooked for your son for several years. She worked like a nanny, but did you pay her
a salary? Even if you were to charge my sister for rent and deduct the amount from her salary as a nanny, you still have to
reimburse her with a sum of money.
“Rent isn’t as high as a nanny’s salary.”
Olivia retorted angrily, “They were a couple. There was no need to talk about money between husband and wife.”
“Yes, they were a couple back then. There was no need to collect rent between husband and wife either.”
Olivia was livid by Serenity’s refutation. Her face turned red and her heart clenched, but she could not counter anymore.
Chelsea reached out and took the phone from her mother’s hand and ordered, “Serenity, call your sister immediately and tell her to come here and talk to us. It’s her fault we have no
place to stay. She has to make it up to us. Find us a house or book us a hotel room if she can’t find one. Either way, your sister took away more than one million from my brother.”
If she had known that her brother had so much money, she would have used her parents to get more money.
Her brother was unbelievable. He saved so much money without saying anything, and now half of it went to that fat cow, Liberty.
It was more than a million!
Chelsea’s heart ached at the thought.
She could have spent the money in a different way but now, it was all gone.
Since opportunity had presented itself to them now, she wanted Liberty to use the money out and book a hotel room for them.
