Chapter 980
Mrs. Brown arrived to pick up Sonny and showered him with kisses on his cheeks, stopping only when Sonny frowned.
“Sonny, I didn’t bring a toy because I was in a hurry. Here’s some money for you to ask your mom to take you shopping. You can buy whatever you like p>
Mrs. Brown then pulled out a wad of cash and placed several hundred-dollar bills into Sonny’s hand.
“Mrs. Brown p>
Liberty immediately intervened, taking her son from Mrs. Brown. She said, “Please don’t give Sonny money, Mrs. Brown. He’s still too young. If you keep giving him money, he’ll expect it to buy things p>
Mrs. Brown responded, “Then you take the money. It’s meant for Sonny to use p>
She then offered the cash to Liberty.
Liberty declined, saying, “Mrs. Brown, Sonny has everything he needs. It’s really okay. You should keep the money for yourself p>
Since Mrs. Brown often visited to chat, Liberty learned that Hank provided much less allowance to his parents. Mrs. Brown disclosed that Jessica had become stingy, reducing her in-laws’ allowance now that she was managing the finances.
Jessica complained to Hank that her in-laws had a state pension and were of the age to receive it. Although the amount wasn’t significant, the couple received around five thousand dollars from the government.
Because her in-laws lived with Hank, they didn’t need to spend their money, prompting Jessica to limit their allowance. She was worried that her in-laws might give their money to her sister-in-law instead.
“I have money. Besides, this is for my grandson. Please take it p>
“Grandmother, you should accept it. Sonny’s grandmother has never given him clothes before. Take the money and buy him some new clothes p>
Mrs. Brown grimaced at the suggestion. Aware of Grandma May’s intentions, she refrained from commenting and handed the money to Liberty instead.
Jealousy consumed Chelsea. Liberty’s diner looked impressive and tidy after its renovation, and the thought of Liberty making money only intensified Chelsea’s envy.
Chelsea aspired to be her own boss, yet Jessica refused to lend her husband any funds to start a construction supply business. Chelsea was also hesitant to invest a few hundred thousand of her own money into a shop, preferring to earn interest by keeping it in the bank. She worried that her husband’s business might fail.
“When is your diner’s grand opening, Liberty?” Chelsea inquired with a forced smile, now convinced that Liberty was much kinder than Jessica.
“Your health is more important than work, Liberty. Look at you—you’ve lost a lot of weight. You had it easy with our family; you used to be skinny, and Hank took good care of you p>
Everyone shot her glares. Chelsea smiled sheepishly. “I was just being honest p>
Liberty replied curtly, “I’m on a diet p>
“Why are you on a diet? You looked happier and healthier before. Stop losing weight; you’re perfectly fine as you are now p>
It wasn’t just Chelsea; every member of the Brown family hoped Liberty wouldn’t lose more weight, knowing that regaining her former appearance would make her more desirable. The Browns, excluding Hank himself, wished for Liberty to reconcile with Hank, who held a senior position in York.
The couple contemplated whether they could revive their love and marriage. Reports indicated that a senior executive at York Corporation earned several million annually. However, financial gain was not the primary concern. More importantly, the Browns would enjoy a lavish lifestyle due to their connection with the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon.
