Chapter 549
Olivia said, “You’ve already given Liberty a significant amount of money after your divorce. While she did bear you a son, I’ll let it go, even though it breaks my heart. However, now you want to hold another wedding and make it extravagant? That’s going to cost a lot of money. Son, do you think you run a bank?”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll pay for my wedding with Jessica myself. I don’t need you and Dad to cover the costs.”
Even though they wouldn’t have to spend any money, Olivia still felt uneasy.
Reflecting on how she foolishly approached the Hunt family and gave them tens of thousands to persuade Liberty not to divorce, she wished she could slap herself with a brick. How could she have been so naive?
Once her son finalized the divorce, she planned to go back to that old man and demand her money back.
Old Mr. Hunt requested tens of thousands, promising to convince Serenity to talk Liberty out of the divorce, but he failed to do so, so he naturally owed her a refund.
They arrived at City Hall ten minutes later.
Serenity and Liberty were already there, waiting for Hank’s family at the entrance.
When Hank arrived, the couple entered the building without hesitation.
Three years ago, they walked into City Hall hand in hand to obtain a marriage license.
At that time, Liberty believed they would grow old together.
She never imagined they would return just a few years later, this time for a divorce.
The couple was amicably divorcing, having brought all necessary documents. The officers at City Hall handled numerous divorce cases daily, so when it was their turn, the officers did not attempt to persuade them otherwise and simply proceeded with the formalities.
Hank’s parents and Serenity waited at the side.
What surprised the three of them was the scarcity of couples registering for marriage, while a long line formed to process divorce papers.
Serenity glanced at Hank’s parents and thought, “The high divorce rate is not solely due to the couples; the families play a significant role as well.”
Her sister’s situation was a direct result of the Brown family.
“Seren.”
Liberty obtained the divorce certificate and approached her sister with a sense of relief. “It’s done. Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Serenity stood up and accompanied her sister out.
“Liberty,” Hank called out to her as they reached the entrance.
Liberty paused and looked back at him.
He extended his right hand. “I wish you happiness in the future!”
Liberty accepted his handshake and replied graciously, “I wish you and Ms. Yates happiness as well.”
Hank pursed his lips. “I’m sorry. I hurt you deeply.”
Ultimately, he recognized he was in the wrong.
He had indeed let Liberty down.
Liberty smiled but remained silent.
Since he was willing to divorce and let her go, her resentment toward him diminished significantly.
“Liberty, now that you’ve divorced Hank, it’s not appropriate for you to stay in his house any longer. Please move out tonight. We’ll be moving in tomorrow.”
With the divorce finalized, Olivia stopped pretending and bluntly reminded Liberty to vacate the premises.
Liberty replied casually, “I packed Sonny’s and my luggage last night. I’ll head over now to collect them. I also intend to retrieve the renovation fees I spent.”
Olivia coldly responded, “You’re welcome to try. Who cares?”
Little did she know, Liberty intended to take more than just a few household appliances.
