Married at First Sight Chapter 589

Chapter 589

“Old Mr. Hunt, you clearly received sixty thousand from me in cash. That was my personal savings, which I had set aside for a long time. You took the money with the promise of convincing Serenity, but you failed. My son ended up divorcing Liberty anyway.”

“Please return my money promptly, or I will call the police.”

When the old man refused to acknowledge that he had taken the money, Olivia’s anger made her face turn crimson.

Old Mr. Hunt replied with a cold expression, “Feel free to call the police. I’m not afraid. I already told you I didn’t take your money, but even if I did, consider it compensation for the betrothal gift you never provided when your son married my granddaughter.”

“You’re getting off easy by paying just tens of thousands for the betrothal gift. You have a daughter as well. When she got married, would you have willingly given her to your son-in-law’s family without receiving anything in return?”

Olivia retorted angrily, “Betrothal gift? You never even raised Liberty! What right do you have to demand a betrothal gift? They’re already divorced, and I’d be foolish to give you anything. Return my money now!”

“I have no money. I only have my life. Take it if you dare.”

Old Mr. Hunt appeared unfazed, infuriating Olivia to the point where she felt like storming over and confronting him directly.

Chelsea quickly restrained her mother. “Don’t touch him, Mom. He’s old. We could get into trouble if he falls.”

“Oh, I feel so uncomfortable. I can’t breathe. It’s so noisy in here that it’s affecting me. I think I’m going to die…”

On the hospital bed, Old Mrs. Hunt suddenly appeared distressed, clutching her chest and gasping for air.

Old Mr. Hunt immediately

He rang the bedside bell to alert the doctor and nurse. He addressed Olivia and the others harshly, saying, “If anything happens to my wife because of your actions, you will be responsible for her medical expenses in the future.”

“She’s clearly faking it,” someone retorted.

Chelsea pulled her mother and husband toward the ward’s entrance, cursing, “If you don’t repay the money, we’ll come back.”

“What money? There is no money! If you want money, go to Liberty and her sister instead.”

Olivia still wanted to reprimand them, but the arrival of the doctor and nurse prompted them to leave. They feared being held accountable for the elderly woman’s medical expenses if they lingered.

Once outside the hospital, Olivia continued to vent her frustration, saying, “That old fox. He clearly took my money but refuses to admit it. I’d rather my money be spent on medicine than on a coffin for him.”

“You’re at fault too, Mom. Why did you seek their help? You know the complicated relationship between Liberty and her family, yet you still gave them money. How are we going to recover the funds they’ve taken?”

“I was just anxious and wanted to protect Liberty. I wanted to hold onto that one million.”

Olivia wiped away tears, lamenting, “What have I done to deserve this? When other people’s sons divorce, they keep the house, the car, and the savings; but when my son divorced, everything had to be split in half.”

George, irritated, smoked a cigarette.

He replied, “Mom, we won’t be able to recover the sixty thousand you gave them anytime soon. Their family is outrageous. They have numbers on their side, and Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt are getting older. That elderly woman can easily claim she’s unwell and shift the blame onto us.”

People like them were troublesome if they…

Provoked, Olivia wiped away a tear and exclaimed, “It’s all Liberty’s fault. She’s so malicious. Let’s go, Chelsea. We’ll settle the score with Liberty. Hank knows where she works. We’ll wait for her outside her office.”

When George heard that they were going after Liberty, he interjected, “You both go ahead. I’m not joining you. Liberty and Hank are already divorced. What do you plan to do if you find her?”

George recalled how Liberty had threatened Hank with divorce, demanded equal division of their assets, and even destroyed the renovations. This made him realize that Liberty would show no mercy to the Brown family. Getting involved with her would only bring them shame.

“You don’t need to come. Mom and I can handle her,” Chelsea asserted, believing that together with her mother, they could confront Liberty.

Consequently, George took a cab back to the hotel alone. Meanwhile, Chelsea called her brother and discovered that Liberty was employed at Lewis & Co. She drove her mother directly to the office building and stationed herself at the entrance.
