'There's something wrong. Incredibly wrong!’
She did not answer his phone directly the day before. He scolded and condemned her. He even cursed her.
But now he addressed her as his sister. There must be something wrong.
Yvonne put on her guard secretly. "What's the matter?"
Jason chuckled and rubbed his hands. "Sister, is my brother-in-law at home now?"
"Yes. Are you looking for him?" Yvonne looked toward the bathroom. "Let me go and call him."
"Don't." Jason cursed inwardly, hearing that Yvonne wanted to go looking for Henry. He soon stopped her.
Yvonne stopped walking. "Why? Aren’t you looking for your brother-in-law?"
"Who said that I'm looking for him? I'm looking for you." Jason could not pretend anymore. He soon replied rather impatiently.
Yvonne frowned slightly. "If you want to talk to me about money again, then I think we can end this conversation now.”
"Sister, don't be like this." Jason’s facial expression changed. He chuckled again. "Sister, I went and met m y brother-in-law this morning and said a lot of things t o him, including asking for money from him..."
"How shameless you are!" Yvonne's facial expression darkened. "How could you go and meet him to tell him that?"
Luckily Henry knew that she was not on good terms with the Freys.
If not, he would certainly think it was she who let Jason go to him.
"Sister, why did you say that I'm shameless?" Jason's tone became unpleasant. "Who did I do it for? I did it for you. You're his wife, and the young mistress of the Lancasters. It’s reasonable for him to give you money. Since you’re too embarrassed to voice it out, I’ll help you with that. But you didn’t even thank me for it!"
"Do I have to thank you for it?" Yvonne was infuriated. "Why should I thank you? How on earth did you do so for my sake? I think you did it just for yourself. When h e gives me money, you'll then have every reason to ask for money from me. Isn't it?"
The truth was revealed by Yvonne directly and mercilessly. Jason felt quite angry and ashamed. His eyes became bloodshot. "Yes, I did so just to ask for money from you. He said that he'll think about what I said. Since he’s going to consider it, it means that he'll give you money then. You're my sister. Doesn't it make sense for you to give me money too?"
"Who said that it makes sense? I'm only your sister. If you're in a difficult position, I can help you. But I have no obligation to take care of you until you're old!"
Yvonne shouted angrily.
Jason sneered. "You said so yourself. If I’m in a difficult position, you'll help me with that. Now I'm getting married, but I've got no money for the wedding and the house. Isn't it a difficult position for me? So you need to help me with it."
Yvonne was stunned.
It surprised her to see that he found a loophole in what she said and pointed that out.
But she was not nervous even though he did so. After all, she indeed had no money.
"Yes, this is a difficult position. But I won't help you with that. Besides, I've got no money,” said Yvonne without any facial expression.
Jason was deeply infuriated. "Yvonne, are you fooling around with me intentionally? You said that you'd help me if I'm facing any difficulties, and now you say that you won't help me. Are you doing it on purpose? How could you say that you've got no money? I don't believe you. Certainly my brother-in-law will give you money after what I said to him."
"I see. Is that what you think? Is that why you call me now?" Yvonne pursed her small lips. Her voice was cold.
Jason sneered. "If not, why did I call you? I don't even want to bother about you." "That's good. Don't bother about me anymore from now on. Besides, I won't give you a penny. I said yesterday that if you want to get married, go and ask for money from our parents. If they don't have any money, you can go and apply for a loan. If you fail to d o even that, just go and get a marriage certificate.
Then, bring your wife along to stay with our parents.”
"You..." Jason was shocked by what Yvonne said. After that, he recovered his senses and became quite wrathful. "Yvonne, are you indeed so cruel? I'm your brother, your younger brother. How could you want only the worst for me?"
Yvonne became cold. She felt slightly upset. "Jason, who is being cruel here? Who's the one who wants only the worst for the other? If you ever cared for me, I wouldn't be so cruel. Besides, I always couldn't figure i t out. We were so close with each other when we were young. Why did we become like this now?"
