in his work. He deserves to earn more money and make his wife the richest woman in Wiltspoon.
A black sedan parked at a distance, with someone inside keeping an eye on the All You Can Eat diner.
“Do you see that overweight woman? That’s Hank’s ex-wife, Liberty,” Jessica said to her brother, pointing at Liberty as she enjoyed her breakfast. “She took a large portion of Hank’s money after their divorce, which is why he couldn’t afford the $777,777 for the renovations on Jack’s and your home, as well as new cars.”
Oscar watched for a moment before turning to his sister. “Jessica, what do you want me to do about it?”
“My mother-in-law and sister-in-law regret severing ties with her. Fortunately, Hank is still on my side, but he frequently visits to see their son, or so he claims. I’m not thrilled about it, but I’m not pregnant, and I don’t have a child of my own, so I can’t prevent Hank from spending time with his son.”
“Find some troublemakers to cause a disturbance at her diner once it opens. Nothing too extreme or violent; I just want her reputation and business ruined,” Jessica instructed her brother.
“Remember, her aunt is married to the Stone family, which owns Stone Group, and her sister is married into the wealthiest family in the city. Just look for something that will drive her out of business. I’m just repaying her for what she did. Hank and I lost our jobs because of her.”
Though Jessica considered escalating the situation, she lacked the courage to do so. She feared retribution from Zachary and the Stones.
“Why should she be enjoying life while I’m suffering? There can only be one winner between us, and it has to be me!”
The thought that her in-laws favored Liberty gnawed at Jessica. She believed she deserved to be the victor.
Despite this, she faced more challenges than Liberty. Jessica struggled to accept reality.
