Chapter 311
Liberty bit her lips, refusing to let herself shed another tear.
She had cried for Hank.
Liberty did not want to waste any more tears on him.
Her tears would not gain her his affection in return, so why should she cry her eyes out?
“I‘m okay.”
Liberty inserted the documents back into the envelope while putting on a brave face and saying, “I‘m so over it. It‘s not like I‘m only finding out now that he‘s cheating on me.
“Seren.”
Liberty handed the envelope to her sister. “Keep the evidence for me. Hank might try to transfer away the assets and whatnot if he finds this at home. It won‘t be good for me.” “Okay.”
Serenity grabbed the envelope.
Liberty uttered calmly, “I‘ll pretend I don‘t know anything and bring up divorce when I hold down the job as you said. I‘ll fight for what‘s mine. No way am I going
to let them have it!”
While she might have stopped working after getting married, she had sacrificed a lot for the family. Hank‘s income was the couple‘s joint asset after marriage. She would fight to the bitter end to get his savings and get under his skin!
Liberty also paid for the renovation of the house they were staying in.
She wanted Hank to return the renovation cost to her.
“Liberty, I got your back!”
Serenity held her sister‘s hands. “You have me, Liberty. Just fight on!”
“Seren.”
Liberty embraced her sister.
Their parents passed away when Liberty was fifteen. With only each other, the sisters had come so far.
Liberty refused to be beaten down by a cheating b*stard like Hank.
Ring, ring, ring…
Liberty‘s phone suddenly rang. Letting go of her sister, Liberty picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Hank.
After a brief silence, she took the call.
“Where are you, Liberty?”
Hank confronted her from the get-go. “You‘re not at home all the time. My mom and sister are there but can‘t get through the front door.”
Liberty replied callously, “Didn‘t you give your mother a set of keys?”
Since the in–laws were in possession of the house keys, they could come and go as they liked without an advance notice.
The way they saw it, the house belonged to Hank, so they were not limited to accessing it.
Sure, only Hank‘s name was on the title deed, and the house did indeed belong to Hank because it was a prenuptial property. However, Liberty paid for all the renovations. She believed she was owed a share of the house.
Liberty would rather trash the home furnishings than let it benefit Hank if the latter did not pay her back for the renovations when they divorced.
“My mom forgot to take the keys with her. Where are you now? Go home now. Don‘t keep my mom waiting. On your way home, check the market to see if you can get live shrimps and crabs. Buy a few pounds worth and cook them for my mom and sister tonight.” ,
His sister‘s favorite food was seafood.
Liberty answered faintly, “Wire me the money, and I’ll get the seafood.”
There was seafood at home as her sister gave a lot to her.
However, Liberty did not want to waste it on her mother in-law and sister–in–law.
“How much can a few pounds of shrimps cost? I‘ve been supporting you financially since we got married. Yet, you want me to wire money for a few pounds of shrimp. Tell me, Liberty. What can you do other than eat? If you don‘t have the money, ask for it from your sister. I have none.
