Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2670

Belinda said, “I truly don’t feel like eating. You should go. I’ll head home shortly. I promise I won’t fall. This is a small matter. I’ll get better after being in a bad mood for a day or two. I’ll be myself again tomorrow.

“I won’t be devastated over an old man. I want to hear your thoughts. How do you plan to tackle Liberty now that she’s here?”

“I’ll just remain calm and make thorough preparations just in case.”

Belinda smiled. “That’s good. As expected of my daughter.

“I met my niece, Audrey, when I was in Wiltspoon. There was some tension between us. She thinks I’m a murderer no matter what I say, so she’s hostile toward me.

“She suggested I give Liberty a chance and train her so you and Liberty can compete fairly. If Liberty loses, Audrey will accept you as the matriarch. If Liberty wins, we’ll have to give up on all our power.”

Audrey was not forthright about it but her intention could be read between the lines.

Belinda added, “Why should we give up on what’s ours, Carol? I didn’t agree to her terms.

“Liberty must have something planned by coming here. Keep an eye on her, and don’t let her interact with our family too much. We must cut off every possibility of her winning them over. Also, she’ll definitely develop a business in Jensburg. Money talks.

“As long as we stop her from doing that, she won’t be able to establish a foundation in Jensburg. This is our territory. So what if Liberty has a few influential families backing her? They’re no match for us locals here.

“It’ll be better if…”

Belinda slid a hand across her throat.

It meant she wanted Caroline to kill Liberty.
