Chelsea was not alone, stunned by the whole thing, because Hank stood there in a daze too while Jessica shoved Chelsea into the car. After threatening Chelsea, Jessica went to the front passenger seat and buckled up. She told Hank, “Drive, babe. Take your sister back to Olivia’s home. If Chelsea comes back here again, we won’t be so kind anymore.” Snapping back to reality, Hank started the engine. Infuriated, Chelsea yelled, “This is a private matter, you vile woman! It’s none of your business. Sonny is my nephew. I’m not asking him to commit a crime. I just want to see him. Is that wrong?”“I didn’t see you being so nice to him before. You’re finally acting like an aunt now that he’s grown up successfully and loaded. Ask yourself. Have you been a decent aunt to him over the years? “Don’t make yourself out to be a saint. I know you. I can testify to every dirty laundry in your family.“I don’t care what you’re up to, Chelsea, but Sonny is bankrolling Hank and me. He’s our pr

Jessica said, “Sonny wired another hundred thousand dollars?” She accepted the transfer of fifty thousand dollars on behalf of Hank. “He sent the money to my bank account. The fifty thousand dollars on Apple Cash is just to make things convenient for us when we’re out and about.” Hank kept funds on Apple Cash for daily expenses. “We have beaches here in Wiltspoon. It’s a bit of a drive from our place, but the cost won’t be as high if we keep it local. I don’t need new clothes. I have plenty to wear. I haven’t gone through all the hand-me-downs from Sonny’s aunt. “Her clothes are good quality and high-end brands. We can never buy those kinds of clothes on our budget.” Serenity was going to get rid of her old clothes. When Hank found out, he plucked up the courage to call Serenity and ask for the clothes on behalf of Jessica. Even if the clothes were hand-me-downs, the items Serenity discarded were mostly new. Her clothes were fine, so Jessica was not one to refuse. In J

Sonny said with a smile, “Never. I always have time for you.” He motioned for Jeanne to sit on the sofa. “Coffee or tea?” After much thought, Jeanne replied, “I’ll just have a glass of water. I want to go to bed early tonight, so no caffeine for me.” “Alright.’ Sonny poured Jeanne a drink and grabbed some of her favorite snacks. Making herself at home, Jeanne took the snacks and ripped open the wrapper to munch on. “Are you heading to Aunt Seren’s place for dinner?” Sonny asked while taking a seat across from her. “Since I’m here, Aunt Seren is going to be upset if I don’t have dinner with her. I’ll give her a call in a bit, but I can only do dinner. I’m heading back to Jensburg first thing in the morning.” “Look at you, busier than I am.” Sonny took out his phone. “I’ll let Aunt Seren know now.” He dialed Serenity’s number. Once the call connected, he said, “Aunt Seren, Jiggy was in Gallinger for business and stopped by Wiltspoon. She’s going to yours for dinner

Jeanne knew there was gossip. She immediately stood up, slid over to sit right next to Sonny, and asked with intense curiosity, “Wait, Sonny, who wouldn’t be interested in you? Do you actually have a crush on someone? And she doesn't feel the same for you?”Good grief, who was this incredible woman who could actually resist her classy, handsome, generous, and utterly competent older brother?“No, I don’t have a crush on anyone.” “Oh, you definitely do! You definitely thought of someone just now, which is why you said there’s at least one person who wouldn’t be interested. Who is she? Tell me, Sonny. I promise I’ll keep your secret. I can even help you win her over! I’ll become her friend, get close to her, and then act as your ultimate wingwoman!”Jeanne nudged him, trying to coax the name out of him. She was dying to know who this mystery girl was. She deeply admired whoever had that kind of willpower.Sonny flicked Jeanne's forehead lightly, completely amused. “Do you really

Jeanne spent about half an hour walking around the office before receiving a call from Serenity. Instead of heading back up to Sonny’s office, she headed straight for the exit. “Aunt Seren!” Seeing Serenity, Jeanne jogged out of the building.Serenity had not bothered driving into the company parking lot to avoid the hassle. Instead, she had just pulled up by the front gates and gave Jeanne a call.Watching Jeanne jog toward her, Serenity smiled and said, “Slow down! You’re in heels.”However, Jeanne did not stop.“Did you let Sonny know you were leaving?” Serenity handed her a large bag of snacks and reached out to gently stroke her cheek, adding, “You’ve lost weight. Have you been skipping meals? I know work is important, but your health comes first. You need to eat on time and stop staying up so late.”“I lost weight? I thought I was gaining some.” Jeanne took the heavy bag of snacks from Serenity. They were all her favorites. When she was a little girl, she had been a to
