Chapter 3836Liberty wasn’t naïve. Before her marriage, her career was thriving—better than Hank’s, in fact.
What were they thinking back then?
They wanted to hold Liberty back and keep her from surpassing Hank. So, after they tied the knot, she was quickly persuaded to quit her job and stay home to focus on pregnancy and raising their child. She became a housewife, losing not just her job but her sense of self. She dedicated her life to her husband and son, slowly fading into the background.
Their family changed Liberty bit by bit, but they treated her poorly.
In the end, they lost Liberty, who had actually been a wonderful daughter-in-law. Now, she was someone the Brown family couldn’t afford to overlook.

You know Hank’s situation—look at the life he’s living now. I can see you love your brother, and you share a strong bond. You have a happy family now, with combined savings of several million, and your business is doing well.
You have three children to raise. Take good care of them, and one day, you and your husband will have support in your old age without worrying about day-to-day needs. Look at Hank now. He’s alone; his son isn’t around. His income barely covers living expenses and Sonny’s child support. Sonny is Hank’s only child. When Hank gets older, he’ll have to rely solely on Sonny.”
