Chapter 509
Married at First Sight
âDo you think weâd turn out fine if Serenityâs husband was related to the wealthiest Yorks? Your sisterâ
inâlaw wouldâve trampled all over us with the help of Mr. York.â
Thinking about the bad things he had done, Hank believed Jessica had a point. Hence, he quickly let go of the matter.
Mr. York was way up there while Serenity was not even worth the mention. She was not blessed in life to become Mr. Yorkâs wife.
The pair were loveyâdovey as they walked out of the hotel. Hank and Jessica came across Liberty at the hotel entrance.
Liberty was alone.
While Sonny was asleep, Liberty left Mrs. Lane at home to look after Sonny, so she could wait for Hank and Jessica here.
Liberty only lay in wait here for them because she deduced through the information and evidence provided by Zachary that Hank often brought Jessica to dine at the Wilt spoon Hotel.
Although she had a falling out with Hank, it still hurt Liberty badly. After tying the knot with Hank, Liberty gave him a son, ran the household, and often attended to the needs of his parents and sisterâs family.
Yet, Hank would accuse her of financial dependence, spending money recklessly, and doing nothing at home.
Hank called her useless and a glutton because Liberty frequently asked Serenity for help even though she was only looking after a child.
Liberty would not be able to produce enough milk if she did not consume more food. Hank criticized her for trying to starve their son. Sonny was breastfed until a year old.
Hank was stingy toward his wife. On the rare occasion of a good mood, he would take her out to the food trucks. The place could fill her belly without costing a lot.
However, Hank would often bring Jessica to dine at the Wiltspoon Hotel, check on Jessicaâs wellâ
being, s, and treat her like a princess.
Seeing that it was Liberty, Jessica tauntingly clung onto Hankâs arm.
Liberty did not miss her provoking gesture.
Hank stopped in his tracks before leading Jessica to draw close to Liberty. He asked coldly, What are you doing here? Whereâs Sonny? Didnât you say that Sonny couldnât leave your side since heâs scared stiff?
âYour sister demanded fifty thousand dollars from my sister as compensation for Sonnyâs mental anguish. What? Are you passing the buck on Sonny now that you have the money?
*L Youâre just using Sonny as an excuse to ask for more money, right?â
Solemnity was written all over Libertyâs eyes.
Raising her hand, she gave Hank a slap on the cheek.
Smack!
A vivid handprint emerged on Hankâs face.
âAre you even human, Hank?â
Liberty resentfully had her finger up at Hankâs nose as she yelled, âYou donât even feel sorry that your son was beaten up by your nephew. Never mind that you didnât stand up for Sonny, but you were throwing out cynical remarks when my sister sought justice for Sonny. Youâre less than scum!â
Jessica tried to push Liberty and lashed out, âFat cow! Who are you to touch my man?â
Liberty retaliated by shoving Jessica out of the way and slapping her too. She smirked. âHeâs the husband of a fat cow like me so long as we arenât divorced. Who do you think you are?â
Jessica wanted to hit back.
âJessica.â
Hank pulled Jessica behind him to protect her before saying to Liberty, âWhy were you waiting for us here?â
Liberty replied with an equally icy tone, âWe need to talk. Come with me.â
She then turned on her heel and went off.
Spotting her sisterâs car by chance, Liberty paused her footsteps but soon continued her journey to her bike.
Her sister had enough trouble in the last two days because of her. Liberty decided not to bother her sister today.
