After a lively afternoon, calm finally returned after dark.
Back in the day, Liberty was especially attentive when setting up this small home and spent a lot of money on it. Now, all the appliances she bought were removed. She could not fit all of them into her rented house, so she picked some of the commonly used ones to keep and sell the rest as pre-owned items instead of moving them to her sister’s place.
It was somewhat like a farewell to the past.
Liberty’s rented house was not cleaned up yet, so it was not convenient to cook. Thus, she invited everyone to a hotel for dinner.
It was also a celebration of regaining her freedom.
Liberty happily bid farewell to her past. Meanwhile, Hank was not idle either.
He went to Jessica’s rented apartment at nine o’clock in the evening.
“Jessica, is this all you have?”
Hank saw that Jessica did not have many things packed. He went up to her and asked her while pulling the suitcase, “Have you finished packing everything?”
“I usually live alone, so I don’t have many belongings. I’ve finished packing. I threw away everything I didn’t want.”
Jessica held her beloved bag and a plushie she hugged to sleep as she followed Hank out the door. “I’ve stopped renting the unit.”
“Good. My place is much better than this apartment.”
“Has Liberty moved out?”
Jessica locked the door of the apartment, removed the key to the apartment from her bunch of keys, and gave it to the security personnel of the building downstairs. The guard was the apartment owner’s relative.
She said to him, “I told the owner that I’m not renting the apartment anymore. I’ve never delayed or owed the rent and utility payments either. You guys just have to clean it up a little. There are many appliances that I didn’t move either.”
What she meant was, if the security guard had the unit cleaned up quickly, they could keep a lot of appliances that she left behind.
After receiving the key, he turned around and asked his wife to go clean the unit.
Hank pulled the suitcase and walked toward his car with Jessica while saying, “Liberty sent me a message before it got dark. She said that she had already moved out.”
At the same time, she also sent him her bank account number so he could just transfer money to Sonny directly.
She would delete Hank’s contact as well as his phone number.
