Serenity was only ten years old when both of the Hunt family’s parents died, and it was indeed her elder sister who raised her.
She had affection for Liberty as a sister, and she also regarded her elder sister as her mother, and her elder sister was like her mother.
After Serenity became the eldest mistress of the York family, Liberty was willing to accept help from her sister and her husband except when major events happened. In terms of life, she resolutely rejected gifts from her sister.
Zachary and his wife were also very helpless for her persistence.
No matter who came to persuade Liberty, she always had that attitude.
Even Mrs. Stone persuaded Liberty.
“Mr. Lewis, I’ve lived here for such a long time. I’ve been safe. Nothing happened. I just met a drunk tonight. I won’t go home so late in the future. Today is a special occasion.
It’s fine if I can’t be my sister’s backer. How can I hold her back? The villa in Hoxmoor villas cost tens of millions. The villas bought by Zachary are often the largest ones. I guess nearly 100 million, I cannot accept such a generous gift from him.”
If it was just a house worth over a million dollars, for the sake of her son’s safety, Liberty had the audacity to accept it.
But her brother-in-law was rich and powerful. The cheapest house in his name was the house in Brynfield, and he only bought that one. The others were whole buildings, either big villas or whole buildings.
So the house that Zachary gave to Liberty was the big villa in Hoxmoor villas.
With Liberty’s personality, how could she accept such an expensive house?
Duncan said: “Liberty, don’t think that way. Zachary has too many houses, he loves Serenity deeply, and he really treats you as a sister, he is filial to you as a sister with Serenity. You deserve it, don’t feel ashamed.
