Jessica was speechless.
“Hank, you may think that you’ll suffer a loss if I take so much from you at once. But think about it. As long as you can keep your current job, you can earn more than a million dollars a year with your current income. After our divorce, you can continue to take commissions, and you and your lover here can be together openly.
“Ms. Yates was a promising young lady when she became your mistress, so you can’t let her down, right?
“If your relationship is exposed, it won’t be good for both your reputations. Don’t you feel bad if others speak ill of Ms. Yates?”
Hank was silent.
It killed him thinking that he had to give Liberty more than a million dollars at once.
After a long silence, Hank said, “Liberty, if I agree to your condition of dividing the property, will you really give me all the evidence you have and promise not to report me to my boss?”
“As long as I get what I deserve, I promise that I won’t take any revenge against you.”
However, Liberty could not guarantee that Serenity or Zachary would not do anything.
After pondering for a while, Hank said, “I can give you the money, but can’t give you Sonny’s custody. Sonny is my flesh and blood, and my parents love Sonny.”
“I won’t give up on Sonny’s custody.”
Hank was afraid that if he gave Liberty the custody of Sonny, his parents would kill him when he returned home.
Besides, Sonny was his son and his only child at present, so he was reluctant to give up Sonny.
Liberty raised her hand and splashed her unfinished juice on Hank’s face.
“Hank, how do you still have the nerve to fight for Sonny’s custody? How dare you claim Sonny as your flesh and blood and your parents‘ grandson. Just look at how you all treated Sonny.
“Sonny still cries a lot, and the bruises on his face haven’t subsided. Didn’t you cause enough harm to Sonny? Will you only be satisfied when Sonny dies because of your family?”
Hank looked pathetic with his face stained with juice.
He was also irritated by Liberty’s actions.
Jessica hurriedly took out a tissue and helped him wipe the juice off his face. She then said to Liberty, “Didn’t you say you want to talk properly? Why did you splash Hank with juice and stain his suit? Will you pay for his dry cleaning?”
“Ms. Yates, I think you haven’t figured out the situation yet.”
Liberty said sarcastically, “Before our divorce is finalized, Hank is legally still my husband, so what’s his is also mine. Ms. Yates, what right do you have to ask me to pay for his dry cleaning? Who the hell are you?”
Jessica was so angry that her face turned red.
“Jessica.”
Hank said gently, “I’m fine. Don’t get mad because of her. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad for you.”
Jessica said softly, “But I feel bad for you.”
Liberty looked with mocking eyes at the two people showing off their affection for each other.
Hank was completely dead to her. Did Hank think that Liberty would get agitated if he and Jessica acted lovey–dovey?
That would just make Liberty nauseous.
“Liberty.”
Hank suppressed his anger and said, “What happened with Sonny was an accident. Matthew and Lucas are still young and aren’t sensible. We’ve already dealt with them and taught Matthew a lesson. Matthew apologized to Sonny, and my sister paid fifty thousand dollars for Sonny’s emotional damage.
“So, just let it end here, okay? I can guarantee that this won’t happen again. My parents have moved out of my sister’s house and into my house, so they’ll take care of Sonny
wholeheartedly in the future.”
“Sonny’s custody belongs to me.”
“If you promise to give up on Sonny’s custody, I’ll transfer half of my savings to you right now. Then, we can go to the City Hall to finalize the divorce.”
It happened to be a Monday, so the City Hall was open.
It was also just after lunch, so they still had time to go through the formalities.
Transferring money to Liberty would also be easy since Hank was a VIP customer in the bank. Thus, he could get the transfer done quickly.
“Hank, I want to have a chat with Ms. Yates alone. Please give us some privacy.”
Hank and Jessica looked at each other. Jessica said softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her bully me. You should go out first. I’m curious about what she wants from me.” “Liberty, talk properly. Don’t use your fists!”
Hank was worried that Liberty would get rough with Jessica if he was not there.
When Hank thought about the day Liberty caught him and Jessica in the hotel that night, his legs felt weak. Liberty was brutal when she beat up Jessica.
Liberty said coldly, “I don’t want to get my hands dirty by hitting her. Don’t worry, I’ll return her to you in prime condition.”
“Liberty, why can’t I be here when it’s our business?”
Hank was still worried.
Liberty fought back when he hit her and dared chase him down a few blocks with a knife. This made Hank realize that Liberty was capable of anything when she was angry.
“This is a negotiation between a wife and a mistress, so a scumbag like you can f*ck off.”
Hank was speechless.
He glared at Liberty, got up reluctantly, and walked out.
Once Hank went out, Jessica raised her hand and brushed her hair away before she asked, “So, what do you want to talk to me about?
“Liberty, Hank loves me now, so if you don’t want to make this worse than it already is, I advise you to divorce Hank as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry.”
Liberty said calmly, “I’m not trying to take Hank from you. He doesn’t care about me anymore, so there’s no need for me to fight for him.‘
Liberty could live without Hank and the earth would still spin.
Liberty might be even better off without Hank.
“Ms. Yates, you’re younger than I was and just graduated from college when you met Hank. Do you really want to be a stepmother to a two–and–a–half year old boy?”
Jessica froze. After a while, she said reluctantly, “Sonny’s very cute. I’ll try my best to build a good relationship with him. For Hank’s sake, I’m willing to raise Sonny.”
Liberty said sarcastically, “Ms. Yates, you don’t have to force yourself. Hank isn’t here, so he won’t find out what you really think. It’s tough to be a stepmother. Even if you’re sincere, people will still say you’re a vicious stepmother.
