Chapter 4048 
Jasmine continued, “Some of these families push their sons into divorcing their wives, thinking they can find someone better, but what ends up happening? The ex-wives move on and remarry with ease, while their sons can’t find anyone willing to marry them. Look at the world we live in—there are already so many single men struggling to find a wife. Isn’t there a saying now that goes, ‘If your wife hasn’t left you, consider yourself lucky’?” 
While running her store, Jasmine often chatted with the neighbors and overheard plenty of gossip. Many were from other towns and had wild stories to share. 
“There’s always some toxic mother-in-law in the village who hates her daughter-in-law,” Jasmine added. “She’ll stir up trouble, push her son to abuse his wife, and even convince him to divorce her, promising they’ll find a younger, better one. But once the divorce is finalized, the truth comes out. The mother-in-law’s meddling reputation spreads, and no one wants to marry their daughter to a man like that—especially one who’s known for domestic violence. And let’s not forget the bride price these days; it’s way higher than it used to be.” 
She laughed bitterly. “So, while the ex-wife moves on and marries someone better, these men are left regretting their choices. They try to get their ex-wives back, but by then, it’s too late. Why would any woman go back to a man like that, especially when she’s happy with her new life?” 
Jasmine paused before adding, “That’s exactly why Hank’s parents are so jealous of Liberty. She didn’t just move on—she married into a wealthy family. They can’t do anything about it, so now they’re focusing their efforts on Sonny.” 
Serenity sighed. “Chelsea’s goal is to butter up Sonny. She’s trying to get close to him now, hoping he’ll help her kids in the future. It’s all about what they can gain.” 
Hearing this, both Jasmine and Elisa cursed Chelsea without holding back. 
“They’re unbelievable,” Elisa fumed. “Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Brown spoiled Chelsea’s kids rotten while barely pretending to care about Sonny, their own grandson. Now that Sonny has a bright future ahead of him, Chelsea thinks she can manipulate him into supporting her children? It’s disgusting.” 
Serenity nodded. “If the Browns had ever shown Sonny genuine love and care, I wouldn’t have minded if he chose to help them when he grows up. But they’ve never been sincere. The only one who truly cares about Sonny is Hank, his father. As for the rest of them? They only care when it’s convenient for them.” 
Elisa let out a deep sigh. “Thank goodness Liberty got out of that family. Honestly, it’s a miracle she divorced Hank.” 
Jasmine chimed in, “Absolutely. Liberty knew when to cut her losses, and it’s all thanks to Grandma York’s wisdom.” 
She paused, then added, “If Seren hadn’t married Zachary, Liberty’s divorce wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did. Do you remember when the Browns tried to take Sonny away and hide him? If it weren’t for the York family stepping in, who knows if Liberty would’ve ever gotten her son back.” 
Jasmine shook her head, thinking about how many women in similar situations lose their children during messy divorces. “There are so many cases where the husband takes the child, hides them, and refuses to let the mother see them. Even when the court awards custody to the mother, the father will just run off with the child. Some mothers never see their children again. Can you imagine the pain and despair they must feel?” 
Elisa nodded solemnly. “Liberty really is one of the lucky ones.” 
Serenity smiled softly, her expression full of gratitude. 
She thought about her own life and how fortunate she was to have Zachary by her side. He was everything she could have hoped for in a husband—supportive, loving, and dependable. 
For the rest of her life, Serenity knew she and Zachary would cherish each other. They’d build a family together, raising sons and daughters, and when they grew old, they’d be surrounded by children and grandchildren. It was the perfect life she had always dreamed of.
