Chapter 557<\/div>\n
Crack.<\/div>\n
The phone screen shattered upon hitting the ground.<\/div>\n
Hank quickly bent down to retrieve the phone and, ignoring the damaged screen, surveyed the state of his home.<\/div>\n
Jessica also activated the flashlight on her cell phone, and together they examined the condition of the house. Forget the lack of luxury decor; it was in worse shape than a shack.<\/div>\n
\u201cHank, are we in the right house?\u201d<\/div>\n
Jessica still clung to a glimmer of hope.<\/div>\n
Hank stepped inside and replied, \u201cThat\u2019s impossible. My key wouldn\u2019t unlock the door if it were the wrong house.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is my home. What happened here? Where are my appliances? Is this all that\u2019s left?\u201d<\/div>\n
With each glance, Hank\u2019s expression darkened.<\/div>\n
He stood before the dining table he had paid for.<\/div>\n
A sudden realization struck him.<\/div>\n
He understood everything.<\/div>\n
It was Liberty.<\/div>\n
\u201cLiberty!\u201d<\/div>\n
He shouted as the thought crossed his mind.<\/div>\n
\u201cShe vandalized my house!\u201d<\/div>\n
Hank was seething with anger.<\/div>\n
Jessica quickly suggested, \u201cLet\u2019s call the police. They\u2019ll arrest her and make her pay for the damages. She should at least cover the renovation costs after destroying your home like this.\u201d<\/div>\n
Renovation costs?<\/div>\n
Hank wanted to call the police, but upon hearing Jessica mention the renovation costs, he abruptly ended the call.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhy aren\u2019t you calling? Is it because you can\u2019t bear to? Do you still have feelings for her?\u201d Jessica asked, her frustration boiling over as she saw him hang up right after dialing.<\/div>\n
She had stopped renting her apartment and packed everything to move in with him, looking forward to living in a beautifully decorated home and showing off to her family.<\/div>\n

The house turned out to be even worse than a shack. It wasn\u2019t just a simple rain on her parade; it was a torrential downpour that soaked her completely, with the cold seeping in from all sides. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t call the police. Liberty was the one who paid for the renovation back then, probably over four hundred thousand. During the divorce, she asked me to reimburse her, but I refused.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hank\u2019s eyes filled with hatred as he spoke resentfully, \u201cShe claimed she\u2019d find a way to get her renovation fees back. I thought I wouldn\u2019t have to pay, so I didn\u2019t care what she would do. I assumed she might just move the furniture, but I never expected her to take down the drywall.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jessica was at a loss for words. <\/p>\n

Though Hank didn\u2019t call the police, he felt compelled to contact Liberty. However, she didn\u2019t answer. After a moment\u2019s thought, he suspected she had blocked his number, so he used Jessica\u2019s phone to call her instead. She picked up. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Unable to contain his anger, Hank demanded in a stern voice, \u201cLiberty Hunt, what is the meaning of this? You\u2019ve destroyed my home!\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still standing. That\u2019s how it looked when you first bought it,\u201d she replied. <\/p>\n

Liberty had just put her son to bed and was preparing to wash up and sleep when she received the call from her ex-husband. She stepped quietly out of the room to avoid waking her son, as her sister and brother-in-law had just left ten minutes earlier. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2014\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI told you, if you won\u2019t refund me the renovation cost, I\u2019ll get it back my way. I merely took back what I was owed for the renovation. It\u2019s not your money anyway, so why are you angry?\u201d<\/p>\n
