Chapter 312
Chapter 312 “My sister doesn‘t owe you. Why should my sister fork out the money to ease your mom
and sister‘s craving for seafood? Hank, I might not have worked and contributed financially to the family
in the three–odd years we have been married, I have sacrificed a lot for the family. Without me behind
you, do you think you‘d find success in your career without any worries?

“I won‘t buy the seafood if you don‘t give me the money. Don‘t forget to pay for the labor cost too. You
said it yourself. We‘re going halves. I have no obligation to cook for your mom and sister, but if you
insist, you should pay for the manual labor.
“Since we‘ve been married for three years, I‘ll only charge you two hundred bucks for it.”
Hank yelled on the phone. “All you know is spend money and eat. You eat yourself to obesity! What did
you do for the family? I have seen no sacrifice on your part. I got to where I am today because of my
hard work. Don‘t try to take credit for it.
“What do you mean labor cost? Isn‘t my mom your mom too? Name me a daughter–in–law who
charges to cook for her mother–in–law. Anybody would tell you off for doing that.”
“Don‘t expect me to work without wiring me the
money.”
Liberty then cut off the line.
With his wife hanging up on him, Hank was tempted to smash his cell phone in a fit of rage. However, it
struck him that he had not bought the phone too long ago, and it was a matching model with Jessica‘s
new phone. He bought two new phones in one go for himself and Jessica.
He was reluctant to smash his phone.
“That fat cow. I‘ll divorce your sorry *ss when Sonny gets to kindergarten! Who would want you looking
like that after I leave you? You and your antics!”
Hank went off on Liberty in his office for a long time before wiring five hundred bucks to Liberty to get
the seafood. However, he demanded that she keep the receipt for the purchase. He was going to check
it when he got home at night.

“Did he tell you to go home and cook?” Serenity waited for the phone conversation to end before
asking. “My mother–in–law and sister–in–law are here again. Chelsea loves seafood, but seafood is
expensive, so they can‘t bring themselves to spend on it. They would always want me to buy and cook
it for them every time they came. They would stay for a few days in a row, demanding seafood. It cost a
lot.
“Hank always thinks I waste money. The three thousand
bucks for living expenses would’ve been enough if his family doesn’t always visit.”
Liberty was not one to spend money recklessly.
“Liberty, are you going back to cook dinner for them?”
“I don‘t want them to know that I‘m onto them. I can take it for now.”
Liberty was resilient.
She needed to gain the upper hand before she could talk divorce.
Hence, Liberty had to push through before the fallout.
“Liberty, the seafood I gave you…”
“I won‘t give it to them!”
Liberty cut her sister off, “Ms. Stone gave you the best quality seafood. Hank only gave me three
hundred bucks for the purchase. Two hundred bucks is the labor cost. What can three hundred dollars
get? It‘s already afternoon. The seafood isn‘t as great as the one you find in the morning. They will get
what I buy.
“I won‘t waste the seafood you gave me on them.”
Liberty must hide the seafood her sister gave her when she got home before Chelsea walked off with it.
“I‘ll figure it out. I won‘t let them get the best of me even though I must lie low for now.”
Liberty added, “I stopped fearing the family since I chased Hank down a few blocks with a knife.”
The Browns were something else!
“Don‘t leave until Somny wakes up.”
“Sure,” Liberty replied.
It was her mother–in-law‘s problem that she forgot the house keys and could not get in. Liberty was not
in a hurry to open the front door for them.
Sonny slept until four o‘clock in the afternoon before he woke up.
Chelsea had called Liberty twice in between, questioning why the latter was not home yet.
Liberty responded sarcastically, “I‘m at my sister‘s shop. Sonny‘s asleep, so I‘ll wait until he‘s up before
I leave for home. You can collect the house keys from me if you can‘t wait.” Chelsea slammed the
phone in rage.
