Her sister had asked her several times if she was low on funds after investing in the All You Can Eat Restaurant, so she needed to be honest with her. All the money Liberty earned had indeed been invested, and some of her savings had been utilized. However, the time had not yet come for her to seek assistance. There was no need to support or subsidize her sister at this moment. Consequently, the couple chose to give their red envelopes separately.

“The auspicious time has arrived; let’s worship God first,” Liberty said. “Alright,” she replied. Liberty offered incense first, taking on the role of the Lord. In her heart, she silently prayed: Dad, Mom, I’ve opened another restaurant. You are up in the sky, so please bless my business to thrive and help me grow stronger—so that the restaurant may have a solid foundation.

If only her parents were still alive.

After the worship ceremony, some guests arrived to congratulate her, and many genuine patrons were eager to taste the food at the new restaurant. For a while, the atmosphere was lively.

“Liberty, Liberty!” Chelsea’s voice rang out from outside.

This glamorous older sister always made her presence known, as if she wanted everyone to realize her connection with the owner of All You Can Eat. Chelsea entered with her husband.

“Hello, Sister Brown,” Liberty greeted her.

“Liberty, we’re not late, are we?” Chelsea asked.

Noticing Liberty’s red cheongsam and light makeup, Chelsea couldn’t help but admire her sister’s radiant appearance, reminiscent of how she looked before marriage. Liberty had always been beautiful, but her previous weight gain had overshadowed her looks. Now, she was slim, like a model—youthful and stunning, with hardly any indication that she was in her early thirties.

that she was the mother of a three-year-old child. Chelsea felt jealousy and resentment, yet she maintained a smile, determined not to reveal her emotions for fear of upsetting her former sister-in-law.

Regrettably, if she had not sabotaged the relationship between her younger brother and her husband, or gotten involved in her birth family’s issues, perhaps Hank and Liberty would not have divorced. If they had remained together, both her birth family and she might have benefited financially from Serenity and her husband due to Liberty’s success.

Chelsea believed Liberty could quickly establish a second restaurant with Serenity’s financial backing.

“It’s not too late, Sister Brown. Please, sit down and have a cup of tea first,” Liberty offered, attempting to guide Chelsea and George to an empty table, but they remained still.

Chelsea replied, “Liberty, we ordered a flower basket for you, and it has just been delivered. It hasn’t been arranged yet, as there are too many outside, and we’re unsure how to set it up.”

Liberty smiled and responded, “Sister Brown, you’re being very gracious. Thank you. I’ll have someone arrange it right away.”

She waved to a waiter and, when he approached, she said softly, “Sister Brown sent a flower basket to congratulate us on our business success. Please go outside and set it up.”

“Of course, Ms. Hunt,” the waiter replied with a smile.

After some hesitation, Chelsea retrieved the large red envelope that her parents had prepared long ago. She checked it and found…

Her parents had stuffed $5,000 into the large red envelope. The younger brother had been hospitalized for an extended period, and all he had used was their parents’ money. Now, the red envelope given to Liberty contained a significant amount of money. Chelsea was curious about how much her parents had saved, but she was unsure. She had always believed that all of their funds were spent on their small family, but she had recently learned that her parents had actually saved it.
