“It’s always been like this. What can I do? I can’t sever ties with her—she’s my only sister!”
Jessica responded, “Do you truly believe that your sister is family for life, while your wife is easily replaceable? Is that why you continue to support your sister and favor your family? The money you’ve given your parents has consistently been used to support your sister’s family’s expenses.”
“Your sister’s children were raised by your parents. The pensions and living expenses you provided have all gone to support her family. What has your sister contributed to your parents? What has she given back to you?”
“You often claim that my parents only care about helping my brothers, but why don’t you hold your parents accountable for supporting your sister? My brothers may not be wealthy, but isn’t your sister? Her savings definitely exceed yours! When your brother-in-law wanted to open a hardware store, they even asked to borrow money from us. Only someone as brazen as Chelsea would do something like that.”
“If she’s so capable, she should ask Liberty for money and inquire about her breakfast store. Liberty’s diner is thriving and brings in money every day. If she’s truly competent, she should turn to Liberty instead!”
Jessica’s anger intensified as she continued.
She must be delusional to think that marrying Hank could alter her destiny. Jessica failed to see the reality of Liberty’s situation, believing she could control the Browns. She thought that Hank would always listen to her and stand by her side throughout her life.
However, once she transitioned from being his girlfriend to his wife, she realized just how naive she had been.
“Can you stop mentioning Liberty? My sister is thick-skinned? What about your family? How dare they demand a bride price of $777,777? Do they think I own a bank that prints money? Are they truly marrying off their daughter?”
“Or are you selling her off? If I had met their requirements, they would’ve used the money for your brothers anyway.”
“Your mom sold her daughter and used the money to help someone else’s daughter. She doesn’t care what happens to her daughter after the marriage,” Hank shot back, his expression darkening.
Neither Hank nor Jessica was willing to back down. They stood by their families and ended up in a heated argument in the car.
When Hank realized he couldn’t win the argument, he abruptly exited the car, went around to the passenger side, and forcibly pulled Jessica out. “You can walk back to your biased family,” he said furiously. “I, Hank Brown, refuse to be your family’s ATM. My money doesn’t come from thin air!”
After that, Hank returned to his seat and sped away.
Jessica shouted and cursed at the receding car, and in the end, she yelled, “Hank Brown, let’s get a divorce!”
The wedding hadn’t even taken place yet, but she felt she could no longer continue with Hank.
Hank drove off, oblivious to Jessica’s plea for a divorce. Tears of frustration streamed down her face.
