Chapter 923

“I married you without having a wedding reception. Your sister’s terrorizing me. I guess she can’t be bothered to play the nice sister–in–law.”

Jessica heard that the Browns acted as though they adored Liberty and her sister before Hank and Liberty got married.

After Liberty gave birth, the Browns showed their true colors, probably thinking Liberty would not leave since there was a child in the picture.

Jessica had to admit that the Browns were good actors.

The Browns did not care to put on a show now that Jessica married Hank.

Jessica had real feelings for Hank. Otherwise, she would have thought twice before marrying into the family.

As for the crazy in–laws, she had the confidence to sort them out. Her in–laws did not scare her.

There was nothing to fear so long as she clung tight to Hank’s heart and his wallet.

Jessica whined amid tears.

Hank’s heart was broken as he stared at her tearful face. He scanned the room with anger building inside him. Wrapping his arm around Jessica’s shoulder, Hank said, ” Didn’t you keep an eye on Lucas, Chelsea? Look at what Lucas did! You have the audacity to criticize Jessica. You will be mad too if you’re in her shoes.”

Chelsea unapologetically replied, “Lucas is just a child. He doesn’t know better.”

“He doesn’t know better, but you do. Why didn’t you stop him when he wreaked havoc in my room?

Was it intentional?”

“Hank, I’m your sister. Is this how you treat your sister? I don’t know when Lucas went into your bedroom. I was cooking with Mom, so I didn’t hear anything. I thought Lucas was watching cartoons.

How was I supposed to know he was tearing down. your room?

“It’s for your fault for not locking your bedroom door. Don’t try to pin the blame on Lucas your own mistake. I would’ve seen Lucas going into your room if I wasn’t helping Mom with the cooking.

“What’s the point of you getting a wife? She does nothing at home. Mom and Dad are on cleaning, grocery, and cooking duty. They handle all the chores. You’re not even considerate of Mom and Dad.

All you do is take your wife’s side.

“Hank, you weren’t like this before.”

Chelsea believed her brother had only stood behind his wife since he remarried.

“Jessica and I need to work while Mom and Dad are retired at home. It’s not like they have to look after a child. What’s wrong with helping with the house chores, doing the groceries, and cooking? Jessica and I pay for the food. We don’t spend a dime of Mom and Dad’s money. Mom and Dad used their own money when they ran your household and looked after your children. Have you and my brother–in–law ever paid for anything?”

Chelsea was stumped for words.

“Don’t be mad, Jessica. I’ll replace all the makeup Lucas broke. We should remember to lock the bedroom door before we go out. We’re all a family. Let’s just move on and leave the matter behind us.”

Hank tenderly wiped away Jessica’s tears.

Jessica did not mention her mother–in–law’s name when moaning to Hank. Not liking where things were heading, Mrs. Brown kept her mouth shut. It upset Mrs. Brown that her son gave her daughter–

in–law all the attention in the world.

“Hank, I don’t have it in for your sister. It’s just Lucas can be very naughty. I only reproached your sister because I was angry, but your sister was being unreasonable and tried to hit me… You’re a family here, not me. I’m only an outsider. They put me down together.”

“My sister can be like that. Just ignore her from now on. You’re the head of our family. I’ll go after whoever steps on your toes.”
