Chapter 92
With her husband blowing up on her, Liberty was furious and disconcerted. She snapped back. “Don’t worry. I won’t get you involved.
After what I did to my relatives, I had no intention of staying in touch with them.
They’re the ones who won’t leave me and my sister alone.
They want me and Serenity to pay for Grandmom’s medical bills.”
Realizing that he might have come out harsh, Hank toned it down.
“Liberty , you can write a tweet to clear the air.I’ll pay for professional trolling to hype your post.You must refute their claims.Don’t let them twist the story around.”
Although Hank was disgusted by Liberty’s presence, he had to admit that her relatives loved to spin stories far from the truth.
When he and Liberty got hitched, these relatives filled two cars and intimidated Hank with great numbers to fork out a lump sum of family support.
Otherwise, they would not see the marriage through.
Hank and Liberty were college sweethearts , so he knew the sisters had it rough coming this far in life.
Over the years, Liberty had never once badmouthed the relatives.
Although she despised them, she was not one to air her dirty laundry.
However, as if the hurt from fifteen years ago was not enough, these relatives had the nerve to demand more money from him.It was outrageous.
Liberty drove them out of there and did not invite them to the wedding, refusing to give them even a dime.
In Liberty’s words, she was not indebted to her relatives since they never raised her.
Although Liberty welcomed them to the wedding to celebrate the joyous occasion, they could forget it if they were herefor something else.
They had no say over her marriage.
Liberty became an independent woman and took guardianship of her sister after their parents’ death.
“Seren and I will deal with this.Don’t worry.You won’t be caught in the crossfire.Worst comes to worst, we can divorce if they find you and ask you for money.This way, they won’t come after you since you’d have nothing to do with me.” Hank immediately replied, “What are you saying, Liberty? What divorce? I was just worried about Sonny.”
Divorce was in the cards for Hank, but his son was still young.
