Serenity and Zachary York



On their way out, they bumped into Serenity, who was on her way to the Stones' residence, and both parties stopped to greet each other. Remy let Serenity pass first.

He then asked as he continued to drive, "The old-timers have all gone over to the Yorks' place, but Serenity's come here this early. I heard they're going to meet Mrs. Lewis. Is Liberty and Mr. Lewis's wedding on the horizon?"

Elisa answered, "No, it has to do with the Fisher succession. Mr. Patrick's still alive and he and the other old-timers are the best witnesses to prove my grandmother was murdered by Belinda Fisher.

"After learning the truth, the other Fisher family members will definitely object to Belinda continuing as the matriarch. She's been leading them for decades but hasn't been very kind to them. She's been overly domineering and forceful, and many family members haven't received the care they think they should, so they've been dissatisfied with her for quite some time now.

"Right after Liberty went to Jensburg, there were already family members who secretly defected to her faction despite still officially being part of the family and gave her a lot of information about the goings-on in the family so that she could slowly develop her understanding.

"When Caroline came to see my mom previously, she also said that if Grandma really was murdered by Belinda, she wasn't going to fight us for the position and would return it to us.

"Belinda's facing a lot of internal conflict within her nuclear family too. It's chaos there now, what with her husband Hunter and adoptive daughter Celine sleeping together, then her forcing Hunter to castrate himself. Celine's dead now, too, and her three sons aren't all that bright, but are lecherous and can't maintain stable marriages of their own.

“Once the truth is announced, Belinda will easily end up being cornered. When the time comes, Liberty might really take over the position of the matriarch.

"But the Fisher family rules state that the head of the family can't marry into another family. Her husband has to marry into the Fisher family and for all their future children, her son can take her husband's surname, but her daughter has to take her surname and succeed her as the next matriarch." Remy finally understood why Audrey and Serenity were meeting Mrs. Lewis. Duncan was not merely a useless rich kid who lived off his family's assets. He was a Lewis and the CEO of Lewis & Co. His worth was in the billions.

Would such an outstanding man be willing to marry into his wife's family? Even if he was, would Mrs. Lewis agree to let her youngest son marry into the Fisher family? Her granddaughter would not even be able to bear the family name.

Mrs. Lewis had accepted Liberty

mainly because she felt sorry for her own son who would go as far as throwing his life away for Liberty. Now that Liberty was working hard to establish herself and it was

considered worthy of Duncan, status-wise. It was only then that Mrs. Lewis truly accepted Liberty and saw the young woman as her daughter-in-law.

After a moment of silence, Remy said, "I don't think the Lewises will be against it. It wasn't easy for Mr. Lewis and Liberty to come this far, after all."

"I hope so. Liberty had it pretty hard. My aunt passed away when she was young and Liberty had to be both a big sister and a mother at the same time to raise Seren. She finally managed to marry her boyfriend, but he changed and cheated. Then, they got divorced and she became a single mom. Even with our help, it was really hard on her.

"She's actually never even dreamed she would get together with Duncan. It was Duncan who refused to give up on her. She was really

disappointed by her previous marriage and didn't want to get married again. She just wanted to raise Sonny by herself. It was Duncan who put in a lot of effort to touch her heart and melt her walls, little by little.

"It's very hard for someone who's been hurt by love and marriage before to make her believe in it again. In this aspect, Duncan has done really well. If he hadn't, Liberty wouldn't have opened her heart to him and accepted his feelings.

"Seren's still happier and much luckier than Liberty has been. Now that Seren's living so well, we just hope Liberty can be happy again. Hopefully, the Lewises will accept Liberty's change in status."

Duncan was not young anymore. If he and Liberty broke up, he might just never marry for the rest of his life.
