Chapter 558
Hank paused before asking, “Couldn’t you have at least cleared away all the garbage?”
Liberty laughed. “There was a lot of garbage when the house was first renovated too, and I was the one who paid for someone to clean it up. You didn’t reimburse me for that either. I’m just collecting my money back now.”
“How much does it cost to hire someone to clean up? Why are you haggling with me over that little bit of money?”
“Why shouldn’t I haggle? That’s my money. My money doesn’t grow on trees. Why should I give it to you? I’ll get back every penny I’ve spent.”
Hank was speechless.
After a long time, he gnashed his teeth and said, “Fine, you win!”
“I’m only getting my renovation fee back. There’s nothing to win. Your house now looks like what you paid for.”
Hank was so angry that he hung up the phone. He wanted to throw the phone, but Jessica quickly grabbed it. “That’s my phone. Don’t throw it.‘
“Damn it!”

Only someone like Liberty could tolerate it but not Jessica.
It was fine if her in–laws did not help her, but they could not help Chelsea either. If they helped Chelsea, then Chelsea would have to take care of them in their old age. Chelsea benefitted from them now, so she had to take care of them in the future.
Jessica would not care about them.
Hank was silent again before saying, “Let’s go to a hotel first. We’ll leave the renovation matters for next year. It’s almost the New Year’s now, so it won’t be easy to hire anyone. We haven’t picked the materials we want either. There’s no rush. Just take it slow.”
Jessica hummed. There was no other choice.
The two silently left the house.
Hank locked the door and turned to leave.
Jessica called out to him and pointed to her suitcase. “Aren’t you going to help me carry my suitcase?”
Hank turned around and helped her with the suitcase. “I was so angry at Liberty that it slipped my mind.”
Jessica pursed her lips and said nothing.
She was infuriated too, but she could not settle the score with Liberty.
