Chapter 512
Married at First Sight
Libertyâs beauty disappeared when she became fat.
Hank ruined Liberty.
âLiberty, what do you want?â Hank softened his tone and asked.
âGive me the original copy of this evidence and Iâll try to meet your request as best as I can. Then, we can part on good terms.â
Now, Hank had nearly two million dollars in savings.
If he did not talk it out with Liberty, she would sue him, and the evidence she had was to her advantage. Hank was at a disadvantage, and the court would most likely force him to share half of his assets with Liberty.
If Liberty handed over the evidence of Hank accepting commissions to Hankâs boss, Hank would not be able to keep his managerial position even if his boss did not fire him.
Besides, Hank received commissions from his customers and helped them do things that cost the company losses. If his boss investigated him and found out about this, Hank would not be able to keep his job.
His boss might even spread the word about his behavior, making it difficult for him to find a job in the future.
This would affect his career.
With his future and interests at stake, Hank had to stay humble and discuss the divorce with Liberty calmly even though he really wanted to strangle Liberty at that moment.
âI wonât ask for more than my share, just what I deserve. I wonât ask for a cut of your house and car either, but you have to compensate me in other ways.â
Liberty stated her condition.
âI wonât ask you for the renovation costs. Since I paid for it, Iâll take it back myself.â
As long as Hank agreed to the terms and went through the divorce procedures, Liberty would hire a group of workers and smash up the refurbishments she paid for initially. She also wanted them to scrape the plaster off the walls. Liberty would return the house in whatever condition Hank bought it at..
âIâll take Sonnyâs custody, and youâll give three thousand dollars a month for child support. With your income, this isnât considered a big amount. Sonnyâs your son too, so I think itâs only fair, right?
âAfter Sonny turns eighteen, you donât need to pay child support anymore, and I wonât limit the number of times you visit Sonny. When you finally remember that you have a son and want to see him, you can do so whenever you want.â
Hankâs face turned gloomy again.
Jessica mumbled, âYou didnât earn a penny after marriage. Why are you asking for money so boldly now?â
âI didnât earn a penny, but I married him and contributed to the family in other ways so he didnât have to worry about anything and concentrate on work. Thatâs my effort, so you canât say that I didnât contribute anything just because I didnât go to work.
âI didnât ask for his personal property before marriage, and his income after marriage belongs to the both of us. What I asked for is what I deserve, so why should I be embarrassed to take it? He bought you so many expensive gifts using our joint money. Did he ever ask me for my opinion?
âMs. Yates, did you return those gifts to me? If I file a lawsuit, youâll have to return everything that he gave you too.â
Jessica was speechless.
âHank, you may think that youâll suffer a loss if I take so much from you at once. But think about it. As long as you can keep your current job, you can earn more than a million dollars a year with your current income. After our divorce, you can continue to take commissions, and you and your lover here can be together openly.
âMs. Yates was a promising young lady when she became your mistress, so you canât let her down, right?
âIf your relationship is exposed, it wonât be good for both your reputations. Donât you feel bad if others speak ill of Ms. Yates?â
Hank was silent.
It killed him thinking that he had to give Liberty more than a million dollars at once.
