Chapter 1358
Jessica was not able toplete the task given to her by the unknown woman. She was worried that
the other party would act on her family again, so she wanted Hank to send her home.
Her family was also in the countryside.
Hank was not too fond of visiting his mother–inw. Every time he went, his mother-inw would say
that she was feeling unwell and that shecked some things at home. Whenever he heard her, he
would give her some money as he felt sorry for her.
Although he did not give much, this happened every time he visited. He felt ufortable about it as if
his mother–inw was taking him as an ATM.
Luckily, Jessica truly liked Hank and wanted to spend her life with him. When his mother–inw
demanded a high amount for bride price, Jessica stood by his side and went ahead to get their
marriage license behind her parents‘ backs. There was nothing his mother–inw could do.
In the end, the bride price was reduced to tens of thousands of dors.
Even so, it was still a high figure in Wiltspoon’s countryside. After all, they were ordinary and not. rich
families, so they could not bepared to those wealthy people.
Nevertheless, after receiving the bride price, the Yateses explicitly said that the Browns would have to
pay for the wedding reception, or they would not hold it at all. If that happened, the Yateses would bring
a group of rtives to the city to have a wedding dinner at the Browns‘ residence instead.
Hank discussed it with his parents and agreed to the Yateses‘ request. On the day of the wedding, both
families and their rtives would get together to celebrate.
The reception was set in a restaurant, but they did not dare choose a ssy hotel as they could not
afford it.
The Yateses would not give Jessica dowry and would only give her a few bedding sets.
If she felt that her dowry was shabby, she could ask her husband to pay for her dowry, or she could pay
for it out of her pocket.
Whether it was the Browns or the Yateses, they knew Jessica had some savings.
The Browns wanted her to pay for the renovation of their marital home, while the Yateses wanted her to
help improve her family’s lives. Jessica’s mom even scolded her and said that she was raised for
nothing. Her education was provided for, but she did not give back to her family with the money she
had earned. Instead, she saved a lot of money for herself.
When Jessica worked, part of her monthly sry was for her family, and she saved the rest for herself.
No matter what her inws and family said about her, she did not touch her savings.
This was her bottom line after marriage.
She did not want to be like Liberty, who emptied her savings and had to ask for money from her
husband after marriage.
Jessica’s mom had always said that a son was not as good as pocket money, and ady needed
money to stand on her own.
If she expected Hank to support her, she would only follow in Liberty’s footsteps.
Once the wedding was done and Sonny’s matter was over, Jessica would look for a job. Even if she
could not find a secretarial job, she would work as an ordinary clerk or open a store as Liberty did. If
she was the boss, whatever she earned from the business would belong to her.

“I’ll send you to the entrance of your housing area and you can walk home. I’m not going in. I’m scared
of your parents. Every time I visit, they say they’re unwell and need money to see the doctor. They just
want my money.
“Otherwise, they’ll say theyck certain things at home and ask me to buy those things for them. After
that, they’ll say they don’t have the money to pay me back and will owe me first. How can I ask them to
pay me back?” Hank said while getting into the car.
He disliked his inws very much.
Jessica said, “My parents are getting older, so they’re often unwell.”
“If they’re unwell, what about your brothers? Why won’t they pay for your parents to see the doctor?
Besides, do your parents have no money? They have the bride price I gave them, and they’re not
giving you dowry. Isn’t that money?”
