Chapter 741
Before Hank and his wife divorced, Olivia believed her son had good taste when he brought Jessica into their lives. She not only dismissed Hank’s betrayal of his family but also admired his ability to attract a young and beautiful girl like Jessica despite being a husband and father.
It was only when Olivia and Jessica lived together that Olivia realized life with Liberty was preferable.
To Olivia, Jessica resembled a beautiful vase, one that she regarded with disdain.
Yet, Jessica was incredibly provocative and adept at acting spoiled.
Even when Olivia and Chelsea joined forces against Jessica, they stood no chance. That cunning girl would act like a pampered child in front of Hank, playing the role of a helpless maiden to elicit his sympathy.
Just the thought of that scene made Olivia’s chest tighten with anger.
“Where’s your beloved daughter? Don’t you and she enjoy chatting together? Go complain to her instead,” Olivia snapped.
After a brief silence, she added, “Chelsea and her husband received a call from their company stating their performance was unsatisfactory, so they won’t need to return to work after the holidays… They’re in a worse mood than I am.”
Both of them were suddenly unemployed.
Even if George wanted to start a new business, the recent layoff had already dampened his spirits just before the holidays.
“Your brother-in-law…”
“I don’t have a brother-in-law anymore,” Serenity interjected, unrepentantly.
“Serenity, don’t be so cold-hearted. Your sister and brother-in-law have known each other for twelve years, been married for over three, and have a son together. They’ve only just divorced, yet you’re already being so unforgiving.”
“Your brother-in-law also supported your sister in…
the past. Yes, Hank made a mistake and betrayed your sister, but—
Olivia wanted to dismiss Serenity again out of habit, but she quickly held back her words, fearing Serenity might chase her away with a broomstick.
Serenity replied coldly, “My sister divorced him, so he is no longer my brother-in-law.
I worry that Ms. Yates will turn around and call my sister shameless for trying to pursue her man.
“Even if I seem heartless, I learned it from you all.”
Chelsea and her husband lost their jobs.
Hahaha, that was delightful!
Serenity found joy in their misfortune, feeling that God had finally opened His eyes and begun to punish the Brown family.
It would be for the best if someone like Chelsea never found work again.
That was what she deserved!
“Serenity, let’s not discuss that anymore. I feel completely remorseful. That Yates girl can’t compare to your sister at all. She’s a jinx, a vixen. I can’t understand what spell she cast over my son that makes him heed her every word.
“She’s merely a mistress, yet she has the audacity to make all sorts of demands. Her family is just as insatiable. They know Hank has a high income and requested an outrageous sum. They actually asked for $777,777 as the bride price, claiming it’s a lucky number.
“She also insisted that her name be added to the property deed, stating that’s what Hank promised her. And then she wanted a car as well… Her greed will ruin the family.”
Olivia couldn’t stop talking once she started.
“The Yates family demanded such a high bride price, yet when I inquired about the dowry, they claimed they had spent a fortune raising their daughter. So now that she’s getting married, the bride price of $777,777 can’t even cover the costs of her upbringing.
Therefore, no dowry.
