Chapter 717

‘Jessica wants the reception to be at Wiltspoon Hotel. How much is that going to cost? We’re paying for the reception. Instead of marrying for love, Hank is marrying. himself into debt.”

Mrs. Brown whined, “It’s not like she can lay a golden egg.”

Liberty grabbed a cloth and wiped the table. All the while, she listened to whatever Mrs. Brown had to say without giving her two cents.

Her former mother–in–law came to her to vent about Jessica because the latter was demanding and did not hold back on splurging.

If Jessica was foolish like Liberty for paying for the renovations and refusing the Browns to pay for the wedding and family support, her ex–mother–in–law would probably brag about Hank marrying someone younger and more beautiful right after the divorce.

Mrs. Brown would laugh at her for being fat and ugly. No one would want Liberty after she left Hank.

“Liberty, have you been thrifty and skipping meals lately? You seem to have lost a lot of weight.”

“Mrs. Brown, I’m no longer married to your son. You’re not my mother–in–law anymore, so you don’t need to show me concern,” Liberty retorted, not in the mood for a conversation with Mrs. Brown.

Mrs. Brown laughed awkwardly. “I’m used to it. It’ll take some time to kick the habit. Don’t be too thrifty. You can put the money from Hank in the bank to get the interest, but you lost a lot of weight. Sonny’s heavier. It’s getting harder to carry him.

“Liberty, your aunt… I mean, is your aunt financially supporting you to set up the shop? Your aunt is wealthy and can offer you better help than we could.”

Mrs. Brown came here today because she missed her grandson, besides finding favor with Liberty and finding out how much help Mrs. Stone was giving to Liberty and her sister. Would the family get anything if her son rekindled his marriage with Liberty?

Hank had been whining about the work stress lately. Someone was out to get him. and undermine him at work. Hank’s boss was picking on every mistake to the point Hank was worried he might not be able to keep his job. He planned to hand in his resignation when he married Jessica the following year.

He would look for another job after his honeymoon.

Stone Group was only second to York Corporation. It would be great if her son could get a job at Stone Group.

“I am able and have the startup cash. Why do I need my aunt to finance me?”

“This is a chance of a lifetime. I can’t believe you didn’t ask your aunt for help.”
