Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 595
Liberty did not have to look to know who it was.
The voice was all too familiar to her.
It was Chelsea, her former notorious sister–in–law.
Mrs. Brown brought her daughter to Lewis & Co., but Liberty had her lunch at the office cafeteria instead of having it at home.
She took a power nap at her desk before continuing her work. All the while, she did. not leave the office.
The mother and daughter were on a stakeout in front of the office building the whole afternoon.
Tempers were flaring, to say the least.
Now that Liberty was finally out, Chelsea’s fury had risen to an all–time high. Without regard to the building crowd, she yelled
and caught the attention of many.
The nosy passersby stopped to watch the drama unfold.
Although Liberty was only a measly clerk in the finance department, she was personally hired by Mr. Lewis. That was how she
became well–known in the company.
The director of the finance department was worried about losing his job as he found out that Liberty was once a finance director
herself.
Liberty’s boss had been keeping an eye on her.
The director of the finance department knew Liberty was one to watch out for as she was personally hired by the CEO. Liberty
was a threat to him. Since he could not kick Liberty out of his department, the finance director resorted to petty tactics to give her
trouble. The others in the finance department mentioned that the director had it out with Liberty.
Fortunately, Liberty had experience working in the industry. She was able to avoid the setups by her direct superior.
“What are you doing here?”
Liberty stopped in her tracks. It was not like she had a choice.

Her former mother–in–law and sister–in–law stood in her way, refusing to let her through.
“What are we here for? Ask yourself. What have you done? You trashed my brother’s home. Pay for it! We’ll sue you if you don’t
pay us the renovation cost,” Chelsea screamed.
With more busybodies stopping by, she raised her voice about what Liberty did. “You have an employee in your company. That’s
right. Her name is Liberty. She’s my former sister–in–law. She’s one cruel person. She didn’t have to work a day in her life after
marriage and threatened my brother to pay her over a million dollars as a divorce settlement.
“Have you seen such a greedy and vicious woman in your life?
“One more thing, my brother bought the house before marriage. Once the divorce was finalized, she brought people to trash my
brother’s place. Don’t you think it was uncalled for? No one would want a wicked woman like her after my brother dumped her
sorry “ss.”
Liberty aloofly watched as her former sister–in–law twisted the facts around. She waited until Chelsea wast done yapping before
coldly blurting, “Yes, I didn’t work after marriage. I didn’t earn a single penny, but I had done a lot for the family. I gave Hank a
son and took care of the family. Yet, he insisted on going
halves with me, knowing I had no income.
“He was only willing to pay half of our child’s formula milk but could buy a necklace worth tens of thousands and a bag worth
hundreds of thousands for his mistress.
“Should I stay with such a man? I have the right to half of my spouse’s estate after the divorce. The settlement was lawfully
acquired.
“So I’m vicious? Well, you forced that nature out of me. Sure, Hank paid the downpayment of the house, but the renovations cost
over four hundred thousand bucks was borne by me. I paid for it but you refused to pay me back the money. I’d rather demolish
the furnishings than hand them to you. Sue me? Go ahead. I dare you.”
Everybody was speechless.
They believed Chelsea was not exactly in the right when she started talking.
Women should not be free nannies to their in–laws when they married into the family.

There was nothing wrong with splitting common assets during a divorce.
Although they wanted to get knee–deep in Liberty’s affairs, they took Liberty’s side after hearing her side. of the story.
Liberty was not wrong to trash the furnishings since she paid for the renovation and got nothing in return. Why should the ex–
husband enjoy something she paid for?
“Look at the vile woman...”
“I think you’re the vile person here. Are you even a woman? Are you not going to fight for anything if you and your husband
separate?”
