Chapter 514
Hank was worried that Liberty would get rough with Jessica if he was not there.
When Hank thought about the
day Liberty caught him and Jessica in the hotel that night, his legs felt weak. Liberty was brutal when s
he beat up Jessica.
Liberty said coldly, “I don’t want to get my hands dirty by hitting her. Don’t worry, I’ll return her to you in
prime condition.”
“Liberty, why can’t I be here when it’s our business?”
Hank was still worried.
Liberty fought back when he hit her and dared chase him down a few blocks with a knife. This made Ha
nk realize that Liberty was capable of anything when she was angry.
“This is a negotiation between a wife and a mistress, so a scumbag like you can f*ck off.”
Hank was speechless.
He glared at Liberty, got up reluctantly, and walked out.
Once Hank went out, Jessica raised her hand and brushed her hair away before she asked, “So, what
do you want to talk to me about?
“Liberty, Hank loves me now, so if you don’t want to make this worse than it already is, I advise you to d
ivorce Hank as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry.”
Liberty said calmly, “I’m not trying to take Hank from you. He doesn’t care about me anymore,
so there’s no need for me to fight for him.‘

Liberty could live without Hank and the earth would still spin.
Liberty might be even better off without Hank.
“Ms. Yates, you’re younger
than I was and just graduated from college when you met Hank. Do you really want to be a stepmother
to a two–and–a–half year old boy?”
Jessica froze. After a while, she
said reluctantly, “Sonny’s very cute. I’ll try my best to build a good relationship with him. For Hank’s sak
e, I’m willing to raise Sonny.”
Liberty said sarcastically, “Ms. Yates, you don’t have to force yourself. Hank isn’t here, so he won’t find
out what you really think. It’s tough to be
a stepmother. Even if you’re sincere, people will still say you’re a vicious stepmother.
“If you discipline Sonny, people will say that you bullied your stepson. If you don’t care about him, they’l
l say that you let him fend for himself since he’s not your biological son. No matter
what you do, you’re the one who will be blamed.”
Jessica’s expression was unsettled.
She did not want to be a stepmother to Sonny.
Jessica was still young, and Hank would be her husband eventually, so she would definitely have her o
wn children in the future.
She would not have time or energy to take care of her own children, let alone other people’s.
Liberty was right. Being a stepmother was difficult because to outsiders, all stepmothers were vicious.
Whether they did well or not, they were the ones who would be blamed.
However, Hank wanted to fight for Sonny’s custody, and Jessica’s future in–
laws did not want to give up Sonny.
Jessica was not married to Hank yet and did not have any say in the family, so she could not show her t
for the time being.
“Liberty, Hank is the one who
wants to fight for Sonny’s custody, so it’s useless even if you tell me this. Since I love Hank, I can also a
Sonny would be taken care of by her future in–laws and would not live with her
anyway.
At most, they would just need to give him a monthly living allowance of three thousand
dollars.
With Jessica’s and Hank’s income, three thousand dollars
was nothing. It cost way more to buy a set of skin care products.
