Chapter 532 Mrs. Brown grabbed the divorce paperwork for another look, feeling the pain every time she read the line on the payout to Liberty. “I thought the estate was split evenly. The amount doesn’t seem right.” “Liberty‘s relinquishing her rights to the house and car, so I need to make it up to her monetarily. Altogether, that’s the total payout.” Mrs. Brown replied after a pause, “What about the renovation cost for the house?” Hank answered, “It’s not included. I’ve said it before. I won’t compensate her for that.” Although feeling a little better, Mrs. Brown said, “The renovation was tens of thousands of dollars. I guess we benefited a little since she didn’t ask you for the renovation cost.”
It did not hurt as bad anymore for the money they were losing.
“Hank, how did Liberty collect these photos?” Mr. Brown believed his daughter-in-law did not have such means. “Did someone help her?” “I asked her, but she wouldn’t say, nor did she know who helped her. The person’s pretty good at gathering information. To me, that’s a walking timebomb. Dad, I’m scared, so I gave in to her demands.” Having gotten the whole picture, Mrs. Brown uttered, “Could Serenity and her husband be behind this?”

However, she managed to gather the evidence in a short time since she somehow produced the documents a few days later. Although Liberty has a lot of relatives, none of them are capable of pulling it off. “Don’t worry too much about it, Mom. Everything will be fine so long as we meet Liberty’s requests. She made it clear on the divorce papers that she will not act out in retaliation after the divorce.”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown fell silent once more.
Hank looked at the time and said to his parents, “Mom, Dad, I need to get back. I have work tomorrow. I’ll take leave in the afternoon to go through the paperwork.”
His parents were without a word.
Hank sat for a bit before getting up to leave.
Once he was gone, Mrs. Brown told her husband, “Are we just going to let them go through with the divorce, old man? Can’t they stay together?”
By not going down the divorce route, the estate would not be split, their grandson would still be theirs, and their son and daughter-in-law would still be married. “Hank has decided. What else can we do? Stop the divorce? They‘ll start the divorce proceedings tomorrow afternoon unless Liberty changes her mind.” After much thought, Mrs. Brown said, “I‘ll go talk to Liberty and convince her. If that doesn‘t work, i‘ll look for Serenity. I have a feeling that Serenity is her sister‘s pillar of support in this.
I’ll try and persuade them out of the divorce. “I can’t stand it. It’s so upsetting. It’s so easy for other people to go through a divorce. Why does our son have to take a big hit when it’s his turn?”
It was over a million bucks, for goodness’ sake. The amount was enough to pay the down payment for a house in a bustling city. Mr. Brown sighed. “What’s the point of regret now? You and Chelsea are to blame for Hank’s undoing.”

It’s not like I can predict things will end up like this after they get married and have a kid together.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown were really friendly and embraced Liberty, letting Liberty know that her in -laws were good people before the wedding. Liberty knew Hank for a long time, and the Browns had shown their good nature over the years. It never occurred to Liberty that her in laws would reveal their ugly side after she walked down the aisle. “Do you think people nowadays are like those from our generation?” Mrs. Brown was speechless. No. She must try to fix it.

Mrs. Brown immediately sent a text message to her daughter, inviting the latter to go into the city together tomorrow. As Chelsea was not in a good mood, she replied to her mother,
(Mom, I’m having a tough time at work now, so I can’t take off tomorrow. You should go with Dad.]
