Hank gave his sister the stink eye.
“Clean up my room, Chelsea. You should keep an eye on Lucas next time Don’t turn. the place upside down every
time you come. Lucas always picked on Sonny and stole his toys back then. He even lied and beat Sonny up so bad
he was in the hospital I know he’s young, but you should start disciplining him now. You’ll regret not doing anything
about his behavior when he grows up.”
Despite wanting to say her piece, Chelsea was reminded of why she was here. Hence, she reluctantly uttered, “Got
it I’ll tidy up your bedroom That’s how Lucas is. How am I supposed to do anything about it?”
After soothing his wife, Hank asked his sister, “What brings you here, Chelsea?”
“Your brother–in–law and I are out of work. We haven’t been lucky with our job prospects, and our age is not helping
either The employees are looking for people not older than thirty–five years old Your brother–in–law and I are in our

“So now your brother–in–law is thinking of setting up his own business in construction supplies A lot of people are
buying houses now, and they will need to do some remodeling. I think it’s the business to be right now, but we don’t
have much money. We were thinking about borrowing some money from you
“You have a high–paying job and savings of over a million dollars. I think three hundred thousand dollars should be
enough for your brother–in–law to try his hand at business. We’ll return the money to you in interest when his
business turns out to be a success.”

Since her brother had money, Chelsea wanted to borrow as much as she could
Having found out the reason for her sister–in–law showing up here, Jessica pulled a long face.
Jessica remained without a word to see what Hank had to say about this.
Hank replied, “It’s nice that my brother–in–law wants to try and make it out on his own, but does it cost that much
to set up a business? You and my brother–in–law have been working for more than a decade Mom and Dad had
been paying for your household expenses Your decade–long savings should be more than three hundred thousand
dollars by now”
Chelsea choked. It did not take long before she found her voice again. “Your brother- in-law and I have been without
an income for months. We’ve been eating away our savings, so there isn’t much left. Besides, I have three children

It was not like his sister could not afford to set up shop.
“You should talk to Jessica, Chelsea. I don’t have a problem if Jessica wants to lend you the money. She wears the
pants in the house. I gave her my bank account details. She manages the finance for our house renovation. It
makes things easier.
“Also, I should let you all know that Jessica and I lost our jobs today. Since Serenity is the wife of the York family’s
heir, Mr. York is out to get us. The evidence Liberty used against me was handed to my boss. The boss fired us both
without offering any compensation.”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were speechless.
Chelsea stared at Jessica.

Now that Jessica was managing the money, it was a no–brainer that she would not lend Chelsea any money.
