Chapter 589
Married at First Sight
âOld Mr. Hunt, you clearly received sixty thousand from me. I gave it to you in cash. That was my private. funds which I saved for a long time. You took the money and said you would convince Serenity, but your failed. My son still ended up divorcing Liberty.
âPlease hurry up and return the money to me, or Iâll call the police.â
When the old man refused to admit he took the money, Olivia was so angry that her face turned scarlet..
Old Mr. Hunt said with a cold face, âIf you want to call the police, then be my guest. Iâm not afraid. I already said that I didnât take your money, but so what if I did? Take it as making up for the betrothal gift that you failed to give us when your son married my granddaughter.
âYouâre having it easy by paying just tens of thousands for the betrothal gift. You have a daughter yourself too. When your daughter got married, were you willing to give your daughter away to your sonâinâlawâs family without receiving a single penny in return?â
Olivia said furiously, âBetrothal gift? You never even raised Liberty! What right do you have to receive a betrothal gift? Theyâre already divorced. Iâd be an idiot to give you a betrothal gift. Hurry up and return the money!â
âI have no money. I only have my life. Take it if you dare.â
Old Mr. Hunt looked like he had nothing to fear, infuriating Olivia so much so that she wanted to march over and tear into him.
Chelsea hurriedly pulled her mother back. âDonât touch him, Mom. Heâs old. Weâll be in trouble if he ends up on the floor.â
âOh, I feel so uncomfortable. I canât breathe. Theyâre so noisy in here that itâs affecting me. Iâm going to dieâ¦â
On the hospital bed, Old Mrs. Hunt suddenly looked utterly uncomfortable, holding onto her chest and breathing heavily.
Old Mr. Hunt immediately rang the bedside bell to notify the doctor and nurse to come over.
He said viciously to Olivia and the others, âIf something happens to my wife because sheâs angry at you, youâll be responsible for her medical expenses in the future.â
âSheâs clearly faking it.â
Chelsea pulled her mother back along with her husband toward the entrance of the ward as she cursed, â If you donât pay back the money, weâll come again.â
âWhat money? Thereâs no money? If you want money, go to Liberty and her sister instead.â
Olivia still wanted to scold them, but the doctor and nurse had arrived, so they withdrew. They were afraid that they would really be made responsible for the old womanâs medical expenses if they stayed on.
After leaving the hospital, Olivia continued to curse, âThat old fox. He clearly took my money but refused to admit it. Iâd rather my money be used to buy medicine and then a coffin for him to lie in.â
âYouâre at fault too, Mom. Why did you come to them for help? Itâs not like youâre unaware of the relationship between Liberty and her family, but you still gave them money. How are we going to get back the money theyâve pocketed?â
âI was just anxious and wanted to keep Liberty. I wanted to keep that one million.â
Olivia was in tears. What have I done to deserve this? When other peopleâs sons divorce, the house, car, and savings still belong to them, but when my son did, everything had to be divided in half.â
George smoked a cigarette in annoyance.
He said, âMom, we wonât be able to get back the sixty thousand you gave to them anytime soon. Their family is outrageous. They have numbers on their side and Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt are getting on in years. That old woman can casually say sheâs not comfortable and then pin the blame on us.â
People like them were troublesome if provoked.
Olivia wiped a tear and said hatefully, âItâs all Libertyâs fault. Sheâs so vicious. Letâs go, Chelsea. Weâll settle the score with Liberty. Hank knows which company she works for. Weâll wait for her in front of her company.â
When George heard they were going to look for Liberty, he said, âYou guys go ahead. I wonât go.
Liberty. and Hank are already divorced. What are you going to do with her even if you find her?â
Liberty threatened Hank to divorce, shared their assets equally, and smashed the renovations. All of this told George that Liberty would not be merciful to the Brown family. Meddling with Liberty would only bring shame to themselves.
âYou donât have to go. Mom and I will be able to set her straight.â
Chelsea felt that if she teamed up with her mother, they would be able to stand up to Liberty.
Thus, George took a cab back to the hotel by himself, Chelsea called her brother and found out that Liberty was working at Lewis & Co. She drove her mother straight to the office building, and stood guard by the entrance.
