Chapter 924

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 forties.

“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.”

A hundred thousand dollars was enough to set up the business Chelsea asked for more to have some leeway in the budget.

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 to raise. I can’t spend the savings all at once.

“We didn’t earn a lot anyway. How much can we save in a year? You’re in a muchbetter financial situation than we are.

“I’m not exaggerating about our finances, Hank. It’s the truth. Your annual income is more than your brother–in–law’s and my decade–long salary combined.”

Hank did not believe a word she said.

Chelsea might have started off with low wages, but there had been a dramatic increase in their salaries in recent years. The couple could at least save a hundred thousand dollars in a year.

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.

Was her brother foolish? Why was Jessica given full financial control?

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