You and Jessica should do your best to avoid being seen together.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMom, I want to divorce her!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank was adamant. \u201cJessica has never been married before, and she\u2019s with me. I have to take responsibility for her. I don\u2019t want Jessica to endure any more hardships.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Olivia replied harshly, \u201cWasn\u2019t Liberty a beautiful woman too before she married you? I don\u2019t see you taking responsibility for her until the end. Now, you\u2019re making her suffer for another woman?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMom, whose side are you on?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Olivia pressed her lips together. <\/div>\n<div>Jessica was skilled at charming them and winning their favor, but Olivia believed Liberty was better equipped to handle life\u2019s challenges. Liberty had faced difficulties and had resilience, whereas Jessica, being the youngest in her family, was pampered by her parents and older brother, and had not experienced much hardship in her life.<\/div>\n<div>A woman like that might stand by him in tough times but not necessarily during the good times.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI told Liberty we should take the next couple of days to cool off. The day after tomorrow, I\u2019ll discuss the divorce with her. We\u2019ll talk about the terms first. If we can\u2019t reach an agreement, she can sue me! Either way, this marriage needs to end. I started hating her a long time ago.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank now seemed fixated on getting a divorce.<\/div>\n<div>Although he claimed he would give Liberty some money, it amounted to only a small fraction of his wealth.<\/div>\n<div>The significant portion of his savings was held under his father\u2019s name, totaling over a million dollars.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty was completely unaware of this, and even\u2026<\/div>\n<p>If she suspected it existed, she had no evidence and could not hold him accountable for it. Hank\u2019s parents exchanged glances. Finally, Mr. Brown spoke up. \u201cNow that you\u2019ve made your choice, your mother and I won\u2019t intervene. Just ensure you apologize to Liberty properly and negotiate the divorce terms. Aside from giving her some money, don\u2019t offer her anything else. Try to lower the amount a bit. Would ten or twenty thousand be acceptable? Two hundred thousand is simply too excessive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExactly. She hasn\u2019t earned a cent since getting married, yet she expects to leave with two hundred thousand? It\u2019s like hitting the jackpot. If she marries a few more men and divorces them, she\u2019ll end up rich! Hank, you must stand firm. Offer her no more than twenty thousand. You won\u2019t have to confront her; I\u2019ll handle it! I may be older, but I\u2019m not afraid of embarrassment. I\u2019ll fight her to the bitter end and won\u2019t allow her to take so much of your money. I doubt she\u2019ll dare to retaliate against me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olivia was determined to be a relentless, fierce mother-in-law, resolved not to let Liberty take her son\u2019s two hundred thousand dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo hundred thousand could build you a two-story house in the countryside. Materials are expensive now. In the past, that amount could cover not just the house but all the fixtures, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank sighed. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what terms Liberty proposes when we discuss it the day after tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olivia considered this and added, \u201cWhat about Sonny? Shouldn\u2019t we bring him back here for now? I\u2019ve heard that when kids are very young, custody is typically awarded to the mother, as long as she can support them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The child, Sonny, is just over two years old, and it has always been Liberty and her sister who have cared for him. The court may ultimately award custody of Sonny to Liberty. <\/p>\n<p>When the court makes its ruling, it will not consider that Sonny is the only paternal grandson the Browns have; rather, it will focus solely on the child\u2019s best interests. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf custody is granted to you and Sonny comes to live with us, we can nurture our bond. If Liberty retains custody and Sonny is with us, we can simply refuse to return him. What can Liberty do then? Sonny is my grandson!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brown was primarily concerned about his grandson\u2019s welfare rather than other divorce issues. He told his son, \u201cHank, your mother is correct. First, bring Sonny to stay with us as soon as possible. Your mother and I will take care of him for now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 408 \u201cTell her you won\u2019t split everything anymore, and increase her allowance a bit in the future, so you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12209\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
