Chapter 742
Married at First Sight
âThat really opened up my eyes. Theyâre not marrying their daughter off but selling her. If they want us to give so much for the bride price, they should give at least a few hundred thousand as the dowry as well. Instead, theyâll only give us a few bedding sets and an e-bike! An e-bike!
âSheâs no match for your sister. Your sister shelled out hundreds of thousands for the house renovation.
You were still a freshman when your sister and Hank got married, but you used all your assets to buy your sister furniture as her dowry. However, Jessica didnât pay a penny. She only knows how to spend Hankâs money.â
Serenity sneered in her heart. âMy sister is better than Jessica, but Hank still cheated. on her.
âThe Brown family deserves someone like Jessica.
Now that the Browns have met the Yates family, who are even more selfish than they are⦠Hehe.
Their lives will soon be filled with excitement.
âI really want to live near them so I can watch the drama unfold between their families every day.â
âThe Yates family also demanded a large-scale banquet. When the brideâs relatives. come over for the reception, we have to arrange their accommodation in a fancy hotel, and weâll be responsible for all their transportation and various other expenses.â
The more Olivia spoke, the angrier she got. âHank isnât marrying a wife. Heâs marrying a princess!
âSerenity, I truly admit that I was wrong. Please persuade your sister to remarry Hank for Sonnyâs sake,â Olivia said close to a whisper, not wanting Liberty to hear.
Serenity replied sarcastically, âI thought you couldnât decide on behalf of your son? Ms. Yates is the head of the family now, so she has the final say. As the mother-in- law, you better shut your mouth and keep your thoughts to yourself. Otherwise, you wonât even be allowed to go home in the future.
âRemarry? You want my sister and Hank to remarry? Sure. Theyâll remarry when pigs fly and hell freezes over!â
Regret?
Olivia only said that because she was no match for Jessica.
Echoing Liberty, if Olivia had Jessica under her thumb, she would not have come over to complain but show off.
âDonât be so sure about that. Do you want to see your sister live like this for the rest. of her life? Or do you think your sister can marry someone better? Serenity, youâre still young. Itâs not easy for divorced women to get a second chance at marriage, let alone a single mother.
âIt might be easy for a woman divorcee with a daughter to get remarried, but itâs hard. if she came with a son.â
Olivia was trying her best to convince Serenity to persuade Liberty to start over with Hank.
âEven if my sister never marries again in this lifetime, itâs better than remarrying Hank. Are you done talking? Move your hand away. Iâm going to close the door.â Serenity moved to close the door after getting enough updates on Hank and Jessica. âWait, Serenity, Serenity⦠Let me in and have a seat. I came out without my phone and wallet. I donât have money to eat now. Itâs all because of that Yates girl. I was so angry that I didnât eat all day.â
Olivia was still pounding on the door outside.
Serenity went straight to the kitchen, took a large salad bowl, and filled it up before she opened the front door again to pour cold water on Olivia.
âAh! Serenity Hunt!â
âGet lost!â
âSerenity, Iâm telling you, youâll be abandoned by your husband sooner or later if behave like this⦠Iâll leave.â
Seeing Serenity getting a broom, Olivia looked at her ex-daughter-in-law, who had not. spared a single glance or word at her since the beginning. She ran away in fear when she saw Serenity returning with the broom.
