“Even if I give her more than a million dollars, she’ll probably end up spending all of it buying a house, but she still won’t be able to find a job. Unless her aunt keeps supporting her, she won’t be as happy as we are.”
Sure enough, Jessica’s mood improved.
“A million isn’t even enough for the down payment for a house in downtown Wiltspoon. A friend of mine bought a second-hand apartment in the busiest part of the city a while ago. It’s near a school district and is only seven hundred square feet, but it cost her five million. I was really shocked.”
If she had not snatched Hank away, she could not have afforded to buy a house in downtown Wiltspoon with her income.
Hank was cognizant that housing prices were exorbitant now.
Fortunately, he struck early. If he only bought a house now, he would not be able to buy one in a good location, let alone a school district.
“I asked around and heard that Mrs. Stone is a very strong woman. She dislikes weak and incompetent people the most. If Liberty can’t stand up by herself, Mrs. Stone won’t help her, let alone give her money. Stop being jealous of her having a rich aunt.
“Even if one’s parents have money, they won’t necessarily give it to their children, let alone to a niece they have no feelings for.”
After being coaxed by Hank, Jessica happily followed him to the jewelry store.
The couple did not notice that someone had been tailing them and recording their conversation.
A chance encounter with a scumbag and his woman would end up affecting one’s mood.
After the episode, Liberty simply acted as an escort for Audrey and the others.
She pretended to be indifferent in front of Jessica, but in fact, she still felt sick at heart when she saw her ex-husband with his mistress.
That was because she felt like she wasted her life acting as a wife devoted to running the household after marriage.
Women really had to be kinder to themselves. Take her for example. She was distressed by how hard Hank worked to earn money, so she only ever bought household necessities. She almost never bought new clothes or skin care products for herself. Even when she went shopping, she mostly bought stuff for Hank and Sonny.
