Chapter 761
Married at First Sight
Curling her lips, Liberty said, âI heard things arenât going well for both of you at work. One of these days, you might just find yourselves without a job. Youâll only have access to an empty bank account.
Whatâs there to brag about?
âAlthough we paid for our half of the expenses, I got a million bucks off him during the divorce. My life with my son wonât be affected even when heâs out of employment.â
Jessica was lost for words.
Hank pulled a sour face. âWhat do you mean by out of employment? Weâre doing fine at our jobs, thank you very much.â
Serenity chimed in, âYour mom said otherwise. Sheâs been at my sisterâs place nearly every day to rant about a mistress having you under a spell. She said Ms. Yatesâs a prodigal who doesnât care that money doesnât grow on trees. Your mom even commented that Ms. Yatesâs parents are selling their daughter instead of marrying off their daughter. Apparently, her family is money hungry.â
Jessica scowled.
Agreeing that the Yates family was demanding a lot, Hank did not refute it.
Hank could afford the Yatesesâ wedding demands, but he was reluctant to give in to all their terms because the total cost was rather high. Hank still needed to pay for the home renovation.
Plus, the wedding and reception cost a lot. It made Hank think twice about offering additional financial support to the Yateses.
As mentioned by his mother, he could marry into prestige with 777,777 bucks, but could Jessica bring him prestige?
His mom also talked about Jessicaâs integrity. Jessica was cognizant that he was married with a son, yet she got involved with him anyway. Even though Hank fell for Jessica first, it took two to tango.
Jessica would have handed in her resignation and stayed away unless she got her eye on him too.
His mom said it was cheap of Jessica. She may be pretty, but it did not change the fact that she was a wh*re. Jessica could not compare to Liberty.
âLiberty, I need to get a lot more stuff. Letâs carry on our shopping.â
With her attempt to drive a wedge a success, Serenity called her sister and pushed the cart away.
Hank came over to give his son a cuddle, but he was so preoccupied with criticizing Liberty that he did not manage to hold Sonny.
âHank, you should tell your mom off when we get back home. She shouldnât be going to Liberty. I thought she didnât like Liberty.
âAlso, your mom shouldnât be telling the world about us and airing dirty laundry. She should know that. I wouldnât be that angry if she told an outsider, but she went to Liberty. Liberty must be laughing at us.
How embarrassing is that for me?â
Jessica always thought herself to be a winner before Liberty.
Hank treated her so much better than Liberty, and it gave Jessica something to brag about when she ran into Liberty.
However, Mrs. Brown went to speak ill of her to Liberty, and it undermined Jessica.
Liberty must be gloating.
Pushing the shopping cart ahead, Hank uttered, âMy mom has nothing better to do. She just wants to pour her feelings out to someone, but she only knows Liberty in the city. Thatâs why she went to her.â
