You didn\u2019t reimburse me for that, either. I\u2019m just reclaiming my money now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow much does it cost to hire someone to clean up? Why are you haggling with me over such a small amount?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I haggle? That\u2019s my money. It doesn\u2019t grow on trees. Why should I give it to you? I intend to get back every penny I\u2019ve spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank was left speechless.<\/p>\n<p>After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, \u201cFine, you win!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only getting my renovation fee back. There\u2019s nothing to win. Your house now looks like what you paid for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So angry that he hung up the phone, Hank felt like throwing it, but Jessica quickly intercepted it. \u201cThat\u2019s my phone. Don\u2019t throw it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank could only repeat those two words in frustration.<\/p>\n<p>As Liberty had stated, she was simply reclaiming her renovation expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The house he purchased was unfurnished, leaving him with no one to blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat now, Hank?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jessica hadn\u2019t anticipated Liberty being so ruthless. It was no wonder Hank no longer wanted her.<\/p>\n<p>A woman like Liberty would struggle to remarry.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica silently cursed Liberty a million times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t stay with you in a house like this!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She desired to live in a luxurious home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI already stopped renting my apartment. Where are we going to stay now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank scratched his head in annoyance and replied, \u201cLet\u2019s go to a hotel and find a place to stay tomorrow. We\u2019ll rent an apartment to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s stay here while we renovate this place. It used to be furnished to Liberty\u2019s taste anyway. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we\u2019ll remodel it according to our preferences. How much money do you have, Jessica?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessica instinctively replied, \u201cThis is your pre-marital property. I won\u2019t pay for the renovations, even if I have the money. I\u2019ll only contribute if you transfer the house to my name and provide me with a sense of security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t as naive as Liberty, who was willing to pay for renovations without her name on the title deed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, you need to treat this house as our marital home. Naturally, you should be the one paying for the renovations. Traditionally, the groom prepares the house for newlyweds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank paused for a moment before responding, \u201cI\u2019ll manage the finances; you can handle the details. I\u2019m too busy with work to deal with these trivial matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to work, but so do I. I\u2019m still your secretary. Is your workload really lighter than mine? Ask your parents for help. They\u2019re always at your sister\u2019s place looking after her children, so it shouldn\u2019t be an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her future in-laws had a son, but they always prioritized helping their daughter. Only someone like Liberty could tolerate that; Jessica could not.<\/p>\n<p>It was acceptable if her in-laws didn\u2019t assist her, but they also couldn\u2019t support Chelsea. If they helped Chelsea now, then Chelsea would have to care for them in their old age. Since Chelsea benefitted from them now, she would need to support them in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica had no obligation to care for them.<\/p>\n<p>Hank fell silent again before suggesting, \u201cLet\u2019s stay at a hotel for now. We can put off the renovation discussions until next year. With New Year\u2019s approaching, it won\u2019t be easy to hire anyone, and we haven\u2019t chosen the materials yet. There\u2019s no need to rush; let\u2019s take our time.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>Jessica hummed quietly. There was no other option.<\/div>\n<div>The two of them left the house in silence.<\/div>\n<div>Hank locked the door and began to walk away.<\/div>\n<div>Jessica called after him and gestured to her suitcase. \u201cAren\u2019t you going to help me carry this?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank turned back and assisted her with the suitcase. \u201cI was so angry at Liberty that I completely forgot.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jessica pursed her lips and said nothing.<\/div>\n<div>She was just as furious, but she couldn\u2019t confront Liberty.<\/div>\n<div
