Chapter 156
“Like us, I believe you want Liberty and Hank’s relationship to work out. You know how couples can be; they might have small disagreements occasionally, but they usually resolve them. Don’t worry about it too much.”
Serenity replied coldly, “Did Hank break his legs or lose his way home? Why does my sister need to pick him up?”
If Liberty went to the Browns’ house to bring Hank home, they might react harshly towards her. Additionally, it would imply that Liberty was acknowledging a mistake, and Serenity would never allow her sister to admit to something she hadn’t done wrong.
Hank was free to return home whenever he wanted. He could stay at his parents’ place for all she cared.
Her sister could enjoy some peace and quiet at home.
“Why are you being so difficult?” Mrs. Brown scolded Serenity.
“Hank won’t contribute a dime for your sister’s living expenses as long as he isn’t living at his own home. Your sister can forget about stepping foot in our house if she can’t support herself.”
With that, Mrs. Brown dragged her daughter away.
“We’ll see how long you and your sister can hold out!” Mrs. Brown shouted from the entrance.
With a blank expression, Serenity had to restrain herself from breaking things.
Her sister had married the wrong man and ended up with the worst in-laws imaginable.
It was often said that before getting married, women should understand their partner’s character and ensure their families are decent people.
“Serenity, you’re too nice. I would have hit them with a broom in my place. That was infuriating. I’ve never seen such shamelessness; they could compete with your relatives!”
Jasmine struggled to contain her frustration while listening to the conversation.
“I can’t hit them since they haven’t gotten violent, but I—”
“Don’t let a petty argument get to you. Getting angry only wastes your emotions on people who don’t deserve them. Jasmine, you’re single, so you should take a good look at your future partner and his family before deciding to marry. If you choose the wrong man, you’ll regret it.”
Her sister had devoted everything to an unworthy guy, and now Serenity could only hope her sister would swiftly decide to divorce Hank. Serenity felt for her sister and the difficult situation she was in. She understood that Liberty was hesitant to file for divorce due to her lack of confidence in a positive outcome. If she separated from her husband now, it would lead to a bitter custody battle for Sonny.
“I would never marry into that kind of family. It’s utterly ridiculous. All they talk about is subservience. Are they looking for a daughter-in-law or a slave? They treat your sister like a free nanny—one who can’t stand up for herself when she’s mistreated.”
“Tch!” Jasmine exclaimed angrily. “Liberty needs to find a job, something with flexible hours. She can consider divorce once she has a job, income, and a stable life. What’s the point of keeping a man like your brother-in-law?”
Hank was petty, stingy, abusive, and obsessed with having a submissive wife. Men like him should be left behind immediately.
