Chapter 761
Curling her lips, Liberty remarked, “I’ve heard that things aren’t going well for both of you at work. Soon enough, you might find yourselves unemployed, staring at an empty bank account. What’s there to boast about?”
“Even though we covered our share of the expenses, I secured a million bucks from him during the divorce. My life with my son won’t be affected, even if he loses his job,” she added.
Jessica was left speechless.
Hank frowned. “What do you mean by unemployed? We’re doing just fine at our jobs, thank you very much.”
Serenity interjected, “Your mom has a different story. She’s been at my sister’s place almost every day, complaining about a mistress who has you under her spell. She said Ms. Yates is extravagant and doesn’t seem to realize that money doesn’t grow on trees. Your mom even suggested that Ms. Yates’s parents are selling their daughter instead of marrying her off. It seems they’re quite money-hungry.”
Jessica scowled.
While Hank agreed that the Yates family was demanding, he didn’t deny it.
Though he could meet the Yateses’ wedding demands, he was hesitant to agree to all their terms due to the high overall cost. He still needed to cover the home renovation expenses.
Additionally, the costs for the wedding and reception were substantial, making Hank reconsider offering extra financial support to the Yateses.
As his mother pointed out, he could marry into prestige for $777,777, but could Jessica truly bring him that prestige?
His mother also mentioned Jessica’s integrity. Jessica was aware that he was married with a child, yet she still chose to get involved with him. Although Hank was the one who initially fell for Jessica, it takes two to start a relationship.
Had she not been interested in him, Jessica would have likely resigned and kept her distance.
His mother remarked that it was…
Jessica may have been attractive, but that didn’t change the fact that she was considered a wh*re. She simply couldn’t hold a candle to Liberty.
“Liberty, I need to pick up a lot more things. Let’s continue our shopping,” Serenity said.
With her plan to create a rift successfully executed, Serenity called her sister and pushed the cart away.
Hank approached to give his son a hug, but he was so focused on criticizing Liberty that he didn’t manage to hold Sonny.
“Hank, you should confront your mom when we get home. She shouldn’t be associating with Liberty, especially since I thought she didn’t like her.
“Also, your mom shouldn’t be broadcasting our issues to others. She should know better. I wouldn’t be as upset if she told someone outside our circle, but she went to Liberty. Liberty must be laughing at us. How humiliating is that for me?”
Jessica always considered herself a winner before Liberty came along.
Hank treated her far better than Liberty ever did, which gave Jessica something to boast about when running into Liberty.
However, Mrs. Brown’s decision to speak poorly of her to Liberty undermined Jessica’s confidence.
Liberty must be reveling in this situation.
As Hank pushed the shopping cart forward, he remarked, “My mom has nothing better to do. She just wants to vent her feelings to someone, and since Liberty is the only person she knows in the city, that’s who she went to.”
