Chapter 286 Serenity had just gotten downstairs when she heard her man‘s cries.
The bodyguards, who were pretending to be strolling nearby, swiftly turned their backs against Serenity as if they did not see her when the missus emerged downstairs. They carried on with their leisure walks.

It did not take long before Mr. Zachary was calling out to the missus.
Stopping in her tracks, Serenity turned around and looked at Zachary. With the car keys in hand, Zachary said to Serenity, “I‘ll come along.”
His sister–in–law bravely fought back when Hank abused her. Liberty was a spitfire.
She was not the type to back down and endure the suffering.

How could Liberty tolerate her husband‘s cheating?
The couple might engage in another physical altercation.
Zachary knew that Hank could not hurt Serenity since his wife practiced self–defense. Nevertheless, she needed a man by her side as Hank or the Browns would not think twice before acting cocky.
He was her husband and her supporter.
Zachary hoped he would have a chance to prove himself.
He reached out to take the lunchboxes from Serenity and grabbed her hand with his free hand to lead her to his car. “I‘ll drive you to the shop later too.”
Serenity no longer refused him from tagging along. She decided to cook him breakfast at her sister’s place later, so Zachary would not go to work hungry.
“I overheard your phone conversation with your sister last night.”
Of course, it was Serenity‘s wish that her sister could find her two feet and confidence to be independent once she was separated from Hank. It would be better if she could find new happiness though.
With his eyes on the road, Zachary listened to her vent and replied,” You did the right thing.”
The worry reflected in Serenity’s tone must be the doubt that she might have made a mistake. She did not want her sister to resent her for that.
Having acquired Zachary‘s moral support, Serenity felt assured with her decision.
“But you should ask what your sister plans to do later. Is she going to forgive Hank if he cut ties with his mistress? Does she still want the marriage to work?”
Zachary was new to the subject of marriage, but he had heard stories of wives catching their husbands cheating on them. The men would beg for forgiveness in tears, promising they would never see the mistresses again, and some wives were willing to give these men a second chance.
He reminded Serenity that it was best to get Liberty‘s opinion on the matter.
One option was to divorce, but Liberty had to figure a way to save her marriage if she was not ready to go down that route.
