Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600

Mrs. Stone snapped, “Do you think an apology would cut it after you beat my niece up? We don’t accept your apology. You’ve pushed one too far.”

She then told the police officers. “We won’t settle with an apology. Do what you need to do, officers. But I think compensation should be in order.”

The Browns‘ mother and daughter were detained, fined, and ordered to pay Liberty’s medical bills and emotional distress.

Since they beat Liberty up and insulted her in public, Liberty could claim emotional distress due to reputation loss.

Hearing that Liberty was Mrs. Stone’s niece, Duncan looked at Mrs. Stone in surprise.

Mrs. Brown asked Mrs. Stone blankly, “Are you Liberty’s aunt? When did you come into the picture?”

Liberty was not related to her mom’s side of the family. The family had not been in touch with Liberty and her sister for the last fifteen years.

Serenity was the only family who attended Liberty’s wedding. Their extended families from both their parents‘ sides did not turn up.

The Hunts had demanded family support when Liberty was getting married. Liberty stopped the Browns from giving the Hunts a penny.

Thereafter, Liberty did not keep in touch with the Hunts either.

The Browns‘ mother and daughter thought nothing of Liberty since the latter had no one to lean on except her sister.

Now that a seemingly wealthy lady popped out of nowhere and claimed to be Liberty’s aunt, Mrs. Brown had to ask and get to the bottom of her relationship with Liberty.

Why did Liberty not mention it before?

Mrs. Brown seemed to recall that Liberty’s maternal side of the family was poor.

Mrs. Stone looked askance at Mrs. Brown before holding Liberty’s hand and heartbrokenly ran her fingers along the scratch marks on Liberty’s face. Feeling bad, she said, “We got the results back for the DNA test, Liberty. We’re family.

“You are my sister’s daughters, so that makes me your aunt.

Mrs. Stone was pleased with the way Duncan handled the matter. She had a good opinion of Duncan in the first place, but now she held him in high regard.

Mrs. Brown and her daughter exchanged glances.

Chelsea stuttered a question at Mrs. Stone. “Are you really Liberty’s aunt? I mean, are you really her family? You’re…”

So, it turned out that Liberty and her sister had an aunt.

The aunt appeared to be quite well–off.

“I’m Liberty’s aunt, biologically speaking. Oh, I should introduce myself to my niece’s former in–laws. I’m Mrs. Stone. You might not have heard about me, but does the Stone. Group ring a bell?

“That’s my family business. Clive is my son.”

Shocked, Mrs. Brown fell off the chair and onto the ground.
