George wanted to open his own construction material business. It cost around a hundred thousand dollars to rent a space and give it a facelift. Chelsea was reluctant to use her savings for her husband’s business setup now that the couple was no longer with an income. She would lose her savings if the business became a bust. Nevertheless, Chelsea wanted her husband to try it out. She would become the boss’s wife if the business was up and running. Accustomed to getting financial help from her family, Chelsea naturally came to her parents and brother for help. “I’m not Liberty!” Jessica broke down and yelled, “Go to Liberty if you like her that much. See if she even cares!” She was most bitter when the Browns compared her with Liberty. Before, the Browns often disgruntledly pointed out this and that about Liberty to Jessica. Since the divorce and Jessica joining the family, the Browns were now fawning over Liberty. “Chelsea, your son messed up my room, so you have to cle

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 thinkin

While carrying Sonny with one hand, Mrs. Stone held Serenity’s hand and glanced at it. Distressed and helpless, she said, “Since Zachary confessed his identity, you’ve always stopped me from standing up for you. You didn’t come to me and pour out your feelings either. I’m so worried that my hair has turned gray. You and your sister are always this stubborn.“I remember that your mom has a good temper and isn’t stubborn at all. I wonder whom you take after with your stubbornness.Serenity laughed and asked, “Didn’t you say my sister and I take after you in temper?”Mrs. Stone choked. She recalled that she admired Serenity and her sister not just because of their kinship, but also because of the way the two of them conducted themselves.Indeed, Serenity took after Mrs. Stone in stubbornness.“Now that you came over today, what help do you need from me?”Ever since Zachary confessed his identity, all Elisa felt was anger. Even so, she did not fall out with Serenity. She took pity on

Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words.“Seren, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll sacrifice myself to accompany you and Mom to play pretend with others. On that kind of occasion, everyone puts on an act.”Mrs. Stone was infuriated by her daughter.Serenity laughed and said, “In my opinion, we need to learn to tolerate a lot of things, considering that you’ve decided to learn to grow a business.”“How great it would be if Elisa is half as understanding as you are.”Mrs. Stone could not do anything to her daughter. Of course, her daughter had enough capital, so she could act however she wanted without having to make a false show of compliance.“Elisa is great. I like how straightforward Elisa is.”Elisa lifted her chin complacently and said to her mother, “Mom, look, you think Serenity is better than me, but she thinks that I’m great.”“Oh you, becoming so arrogant with just one compliment.”The three of them were chatting merrily. With Sonny’s baby talk in between, the house was

Elisa continued to eat. Seemingly, she was indifferent toward Zachary’s arrival.At that moment, her mother’s eyes were fixed on her. She looked up and said to her mother, “Mom, why are you staring at me? Your nephew-in-law is here, not your son-in-law. Your son-in-law isn’t found yet, so you still need to support me for several more years.”“If you don’t want to get married, I can support you forever.”“Please. I’m 27 this year. If I round it up, I’ll already be 30. My concern is that you’re not worried about it. You might act like Jasmine’s mother where you can’t wait to kick me out of the house if there’s a man pursuing me.”That was how Mrs. Sox treated Jasmine.Of course, Josh was outstanding and had a glib tongue. He managed to persuade the Soxes to take his side. The Soxes nearly made Josh marry Jasmine.“Mom, since you’re keen on meeting your nephew-in-law, hurry up and let him in. Now that we’ve just started eating, you can ask him to join us. If you’re not, then I’ll dr
