Chapter 763


    Hank carried on saying, “The house is also yours since your name will be added to the title deed. We


    can enjoy a nicely renovated house instead of paying for your brothers‘ home renovation for your


    sisters–inw to enjoy.”


    Although Jessica was in on Hank’s idea, she said, “Are you expecting my parents toe down from


    their request of 777,777 dors and settle with over a hundred thousand dors? Hank, are you trying


    to haggle on a gift? You said you would give me the world and only want me to enjoy the best of life.


    “You said you’ll give me a grand wedding, but all you’re going to offer is over a hundred thousand


    dors? Is this the grand wedding you’re talking about?”


    Hank refuted, “The going rate for bride price in Wiltspoon is tens of thousands. Most people would


    settle for a few thousand dors. It’s not about the money here in Wiltspoon. Families here only want


    their daughters to have a good andsting marriage.”


    Liberty also came from a small town. The Hunts demanded a lump sum of three hundred thousand


    dors in family support when Liberty married Hank. However, Liberty stopped him from giving away


    the money, saying that these people did not deserve to ask for the gift.


    Yet, the Yateses demanded over double the amount. They were trying to sell their daughter.


    “Someone in our town got hundreds of thousands in cash from the groom without asking. The family


    even got a house and a luxury sedan worth over a million dors.” Perhaps that family’s daughter got


    the wedding of her dreams, so Jessica’s parents believed the Browns were doing well and wanted


    more since Hank earned a lot, had a house in the city, and his parents were supported by the state


    pension.


    Jessica’s family would be the talk of the town if Jessica married well.


    Hank said, “That girl must have married a rich heir. I’m not a rich heir. You can find yourself a boy with


    daddy’s money if you’re jealous.”


    Prying Jessica’s grip over his arm, Hank pushed the shopping cart and walked ahead. “Hank! Hank


    Brown!”


    Jessica was left standing there, shouting his name.


    Turning a deaf ear, Hank continued pushing the cart. He stopped looking around and went to check


    out.


    “Take one more step and it’s over between us, Hank!”


    Without a care that they were in public, Jessica shouted and threatened Hank.


    Many heard her screams.


    Even Liberty and Serenity who were picking out snacks at the snack aisle picked up on themotion.


    Serenity said to her sister, “It’s a traitmon to men. They seek after and cherish unattainable


    women, but once they get the women, they no longer hold the women dear. Jessica and Hank are


    getting along now, but once they tie the knot, I can guarantee it’s going to be a rocky marriage.

    “But I hope they can get married. The Browns need a daughter–inw like Jessica to give them a taste


    of their own medicine.”


    Liberty picked a few snacks for her son before giving her two cents. “Not all men are like that. Seren,


    don’t be put off by my failed marriage. Well, don’t let


    affect your marriage with Zachary. Zachary’s a lot better than Hank. I can’t be more pleased with him.”


    Serenity uttered with a smile, “Alright, alright. I won’t tar him with the same brush. Your brother–inw


    is a good man. Oh, wait. He’s the perfect man. Happy now?”


    She moaned in her mind that her sister had not seen how petty Zachary could get.


    Serenity would have forgotten that Zachary had been away on business for three days if he was not


    mentioned. He did not call or text her at all, probably because he was too busy. In fact, she did not give


    him a call either. While her man was away, Serenity had been having a st like a free bird and forgot


    all about Zachary.


    She should send a text message to ask the petty guy when he wasing back when she got home


    later. Why was he still traveling for work when Christmas and New Year were around the corner?


    Serenity ranted about the CEO of York Corporation in her mind,beling the man as insensitive. The


    company was about to close for Christmas and New Year, but Zachary still had to go away on


    business. What if Zachary was unable to finish the job before the festive holidays? Did that mean he


    could not take a vacation?
