Married at First Sight Chapter 558

Chapter 558

Hank paused before asking, “Couldn’t you have at least cleared away all the trash?”

Liberty laughed. “There was a lot of trash when the house was first renovated too, and I was the one who paid for someone to clean it up. You didn’t reimburse me for that, either. I’m just reclaiming my money now.”

“How much does it cost to hire someone to clean up? Why are you haggling with me over such a small amount?”

“Why shouldn’t I haggle? That’s my money. It doesn’t grow on trees. Why should I give it to you? I intend to get back every penny I’ve spent.”

Hank was left speechless.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, you win!”

“I’m only getting my renovation fee back. There’s nothing to win. Your house now looks like what you paid for.”

So angry that he hung up the phone, Hank felt like throwing it, but Jessica quickly intercepted it. “That’s my phone. Don’t throw it.”

“Damn it!”

Hank could only repeat those two words in frustration.

As Liberty had stated, she was simply reclaiming her renovation expenses.

The house he purchased was unfurnished, leaving him with no one to blame.

“What now, Hank?”

Jessica hadn’t anticipated Liberty being so ruthless. It was no wonder Hank no longer wanted her.

A woman like Liberty would struggle to remarry.

Jessica silently cursed Liberty a million times.

“I won’t stay with you in a house like this!”

She desired to live in a luxurious home.

“I already stopped renting my apartment. Where are we going to stay now?”

Hank scratched his head in annoyance and replied, “Let’s go to a hotel and find a place to stay tomorrow. We’ll rent an apartment to…”

Let’s stay here while we renovate this place. It used to be furnished to Liberty’s taste anyway.

“Now, we’ll remodel it according to our preferences. How much money do you have, Jessica?”

Jessica instinctively replied, “This is your pre-marital property. I won’t pay for the renovations, even if I have the money. I’ll only contribute if you transfer the house to my name and provide me with a sense of security.”

She wasn’t as naive as Liberty, who was willing to pay for renovations without her name on the title deed.

“Besides, you need to treat this house as our marital home. Naturally, you should be the one paying for the renovations. Traditionally, the groom prepares the house for newlyweds.”

Hank paused for a moment before responding, “I’ll manage the finances; you can handle the details. I’m too busy with work to deal with these trivial matters.”

“You need to work, but so do I. I’m still your secretary. Is your workload really lighter than mine? Ask your parents for help. They’re always at your sister’s place looking after her children, so it shouldn’t be an issue.”

Her future in-laws had a son, but they always prioritized helping their daughter. Only someone like Liberty could tolerate that; Jessica could not.

It was acceptable if her in-laws didn’t assist her, but they also couldn’t support Chelsea. If they helped Chelsea now, then Chelsea would have to care for them in their old age. Since Chelsea benefitted from them now, she would need to support them in the future.

Jessica had no obligation to care for them.

Hank fell silent again before suggesting, “Let’s stay at a hotel for now. We can put off the renovation discussions until next year. With New Year’s approaching, it won’t be easy to hire anyone, and we haven’t chosen the materials yet. There’s no need to rush; let’s take our time.”
