“We’re on our way to City Hall now and will reach in about ten minutes. We just divided our assets as per her request.”
Jessica sighed in relief. Fortunately, there were no more accidents.
“Text me when you’re done.”
“Okay. Jessica, I’ll help you move your stuff in the evening,” Hank said happily.
He planned to go over and pick Jessica up after Liberty moved out. He wanted to live blissfully with just the two of them before his parents and sister’s family came over to stay.
Jessica smiled sweetly. “Okay.”
Hank’s house was well-decorated, and that house was in a good school’s catchment area. The price of property there had risen so much that the house was worth several million.
Jessica had long been looking forward to living in a high-end neighborhood and becoming the mistress of that house.
Now that her dream was soon to be realized, she was feeling cheery too.
She wanted nothing more than for the day to end. When the night sky came, she would be able to be with Hank proudly and openly.
“I’m driving now. Let’s talk tonight.”
Hank was looking forward to the days ahead too.
After he hung up the phone, Mr. Brown asked his son in a low voice, “Are you going to marry that Yates girl?”
“Dad, I love Jessica. I’m divorcing Liberty because I don’t want Jessica to suffer. Once I’m single again, I’ll definitely marry Jessica. You and Mom can pick a date to meet with her parents and siblings. We’ll have a meal together.”
He was talking about Jessica and his wedding matters.
Olivia said, “You two can just get your marriage license at City Hall. There’s no need to do anything else.”
“That won’t do. I promised Jessica I would marry her flamboyantly. A girl only wears a wedding dress once in her life. I can’t let Jessica down.”
Olivia said, “You’ve already given so much money to Liberty after divorcing her, but she did give birth to a son for you, so I’ll let it go even though I’m heartbroken. However, now you’re saying you want to hold another wedding, and you want to make it extravagant? That’ll cost a lot of money. Son, do you think you run a bank?”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll pay for my wedding with Jessica. I don’t need you and Dad to pay for it.”
Even if they did not have to fork out any money, Olivia still felt reluctant.
When she thought of how she foolishly went to the Hunt family and gave them tens of thousands to ask them to persuade Liberty not to get a divorce, she wanted to find a brick to slap herself. How could she have done something so stupid?
When her son was done with the divorce, she was going back to that old man to ask for her money back.
Old Mr. Hunt requested tens of thousands and promised to persuade Serenity to talk Liberty out of the divorce, but he failed to do so, so he naturally had to return the money to her.
They arrived at City Hall ten minutes later.
Serenity and Liberty arrived first and waited for Hank’s family at the entrance.
When Hank arrived, the couple showed no hesitation and entered the building.
Three years ago, they walked into City Hall hand–in–hand and received a marriage license.
At that time, Liberty thought she would grow old together with Hank.
She never thought they would be back after just a few years, and this time, it was for their divorce.
The pair were divorcing on consensus with no quarrels and brought all the documents needed. The officers at City Hall had to deal with many divorce cases daily, so when it was the couple’s turn, the officers did not try to persuade them and simply proceeded with the formalities.
Hank’s parents and Serenity waited at the side.
What surprised the three of them was there were very few couples who came to register for marriage, but there was a long line waiting to process their divorce papers.
Serenity glanced at Hank’s parents and thought, “The divorce rate is so high not only because of the couple, but also due to the couple’s families.‘
Her sister ended up like this because of the Brown family.
“Seren.”
Liberty got the divorce certificate and walked over in relief, calling out to her sister. “It’s done. Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
Serenity got up and accompanied her sister out.
“Liberty,” Hank called out to Liberty at the entrance.
Liberty stopped and looked back at him.
He held his right hand. “I wish you happiness in the future!”
Liberty accepted the handshake and said graciously, “I wish Ms. Yates and you happiness in the future.”
Hank pursed his lips. “I’m sorry. I hurt you deeply.”
When all was said and done, he was in the wrong.
He indeed let Liberty down.
Liberty smiled and said nothing.
Since he was willing to divorce and let her leave, her resentment toward him lessened significantly.
“Liberty, since you’ve divorced Hank, it’s not right for you to live in Hank’s house anymore. Please move out tonight. We’ll be moving in tomorrow.”
Since the divorce was finalized, Olivia stopped pretending and bluntly reminded Liberty to
move out.
Liberty said casually, “I packed Sonny and my luggage last night. I’ll go over now and take them away. Also, I’ll take the fees I used for the renovation.”
Olivia said coldly, “You’re welcome to try. Who cares?”
Little did she know, it was not just some household appliances Liberty wanted to take away.
“Not all of the appliances were bought by you, so don’t move everything.”
Olivia was afraid Liberty would move the appliances they bought as well.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Brown. I won’t touch things I didn’t pay for. You can come to me if you find anything of yours missing.”
Olivia snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
Ring ring ring…
Hank’s phone rang.
It was from his boss. He quickly answered the phone when he saw the caller ID.
The boss said something over the phone, and Hank’s expression sank. He said in a subdued voice, “I’ve finished my business, sir. I’ll go back to the office now to deal with it. Why were all the orders canceled? Don’t worry, sir. I’ll definitely deal with it and salvage those orders.” After hanging up the phone, he said to his parents, “Mom, Dad, something urgent cropped up in the office. I’m going back to work now. You two take a cab back.”
He turned to Liberty and said, “Liberty, just move out before ten tonight. I’ll only be home at that time.”
He left in a hurry.
He did not even have time to tell Liberty to take care.
