Chapter 1034<\/div>\n
Jessica was unwilling, and deep down, so was Hank. The only way to improve their relationship with Liberty was to convince Zachary to spare them.<\/div>\n
If he had known earlier that Serenity was Mr. York\u2019s wife, he would have done everything he could to delay divorcing Liberty, even if it meant dragging it out. That way, Serenity wouldn\u2019t have let Zachary corner him for her sister.<\/div>\n
Unfortunately, these were just reflections after the fact.<\/div>\n
At the time, he had suspected that Zachary was indeed \u201cthe\u201d Zachary York, but he didn\u2019t believe Serenity could have been fortunate enough to marry into a wealthy family, so he dismissed the idea. Who would have thought he truly was \u201cthe\u201d Zachary York?<\/div>\n
Hank found himself at a loss for words.<\/div>\n
\u201cMr. Brown, if there\u2019s nothing else, please leave,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
Hank embraced his son and remained seated, saying, \u201cI want to spend a little more time with Sonny. In the past, I was too busy with work and didn\u2019t have the chance to play with him. Now that I\u2019m temporarily unemployed, I finally have the time to make it up to him.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you and Ms. Yates have a wedding to plan? Aren\u2019t you supposed to renovate the house?\u201d Liberty asked in response.<\/div>\n
\u201cMost of my money is managed by Jessica. I let her handle everything so she understands the financial situations of both our families. This way, she won\u2019t think of helping her family too much,\u201d Hank explained.<\/div>\n
The Yates family felt like leeches, wanting to drain him dry. Fortunately, Jessica knew where to draw the line.<\/div>\n
Hank harbored no goodwill towards his in-laws anymore.<\/div>\n
The dowry had been rather low, prompting his parents-in-law to request that he buy scooters for his two brothers-in-law. They claimed they didn\u2019t need anything too expensive\u2014just over ten thousand dollars each would suffice.<\/div>\n
New scooters that cost\u2026<\/p>\n

Even if they each received over ten thousand dollars, it would still mean he was spending between twenty to thirty thousand dollars. Hank didn\u2019t even attempt to negotiate further with his in-laws; instead, he told Jessica directly that they had only a small amount of money left and that she should handle it as she saw fit. <\/p>\n

Jessica was fixated on their modest home. How could she justify spending an additional twenty to thirty thousand dollars on vehicles for her two older brothers when she was still driving Hank\u2019s old car? Consequently, Jessica returned to her parents\u2019 house every two or three days to confront her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law. <\/p>\n

Her parents would scold her, calling her a wasteful spender who failed to extract benefits from the Browns for her own family. Jessica would counter by questioning how much the Yates family contributed and what benefits they offered her sisters-in-law\u2019s families when her older brothers married. This left her parents speechless.<\/p>\n

When their daughters-in-law married into the family, they had been quite stingy, giving only $6,600 to each family and contributing nothing further. Moreover, before their sons wed, they tightly controlled their bank accounts. They didn\u2019t provide any additional funds to their in-laws, while the dowries from Jessica\u2019s sisters-in-law were worth tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Yates is indeed much more capable than I was,\u201d Liberty had to admit. When it came to being a wife and daughter-in-law, Jessica far surpassed her. Back then, Liberty tolerated everything out of love for Hank, which led to her being harshly bullied. Wasn\u2019t it the case that her ex-mother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law could treat her that way precisely because she had?<\/p>\n

enabled it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If she had responded aggressively from the beginning, that mother-daughter duo would have recognized her strength. How could they have continued to bleat in that case?<\/div>\n
