Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel 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.”
