As anticipated, Jessica remarked, “Chelsea, Hank and I are planning a wedding, and our house is also undergoing renovations. Everything requires money. We both lost our jobs, so we don’t have any extra cash to lend you p>
Jessica inferred from Hank’s comment that her money-hungry sister-in-law had substantial savings. Chelsea was accustomed to receiving financial assistance from her family and believed there was no reason to spend her own money when she could rely on theirs.
As long as Jessica was present, Chelsea could forget about borrowing a dime from Hank.
With her lips pursed, Chelsea remained silent.
Meanwhile, at the Stones’ residence, Serenity held Sonny’s hand as they entered a spacious living room.
“You’re here, Sonny! Come here to your grandaunt p>
Beaming with joy, Mrs. Stone stood up to welcome Sonny.
After discovering that Mrs. Stone was his grandaunt and meeting her a few times, Sonny was happy to let her hold him now.
“Aunt Audrey p>
Serenity handed Mrs. Stone two bags of fruit she had purchased, saying, “These are your favorite fruits, Aunt Audrey p>
“Oh, my favorites! But I can get the fruit myself. I don’t want you to spend money on me. I’m just delighted that you and your sister are visiting. You don’t need to bring me anything p>
Initially, Serenity and her sister often brought expensive gifts when they visited, but after a stern conversation with Mrs. Stone, they switched to buying a few hundred dollars’ worth of fruit. At least this way, Mrs. Stone wouldn’t feel guilty about them overspending.
Coming from a poor background, Mrs. Stone had experienced fine dining only after marrying a wealthy husband, yet she still cherished seasonal fruits.
For someone of her status, no one would bat an eye if she chose to grab a meal from a food truck.
Serenity and Sonny
She took a seat on the sofa. No sooner had Serenity placed the bags of fruit on the coffee table than the maid arrived to take them away for washing. Mrs. Stone was determined not to waste the fruits purchased by the sisters; she wanted everyone to enjoy them after they were cleaned. Although her sons and daughter were not fond of the fruit, they would not speak ill of it, recognizing it as a thoughtful gesture from the sisters at the end of the day.
“Is Elisa out?” Serenity casually remarked, noticing Elisa was absent.
“Who knows where that girl has gone? She might have gone out shopping with her friends. She has such a tendency to overspend—always buying things she never uses. They just pile up until she eventually tosses them out. Don’t you think she’s reckless with her money?” Mrs. Stone lamented about her daughter’s extravagant habits.
Fortunately, she had two sons who earned well and indulged their sister, happily providing her with a generous allowance.
“Isn’t Elisa going to try her hand at investing? Maybe she went to check out a project,” Serenity suggested.
Although Elisa had never worked in an office, she must have a knack for investment, having grown up in a family with a strong business sense. Serenity was eager to venture into new opportunities with Elisa and see how she could fare in that world.
“Who knows? By the way, how is your hand injury? Is it feeling any better now, Seren p>
