Chapter 153 Serenity nearly burst into an outrage when Chelsea said that in her face. Still, Serenity had class and
did not slam the table in front of Chelsea.
She unhurriedly went behind the cash register and sat down before looking Chelsea in the eye and
bombarding her with questions, “Chelsea , you mentioned my sister hit my brother–in–law? Did you
witness it? Did my sister start it? Did my brother–in–law fight back? How bad was he beaten? Was he
hospitalized?” Chelsea replied shamelessly, “So what if Hank started it? Your sister ought to be taught
a lesson, and Hank wanted to discipline her the other day. However, he didn‘t want to make your sister
look bad since you came over with your husband. We even talked him out of punishing your sister.
“Any man would‘ve slapped their wives for all the things your sister had done. Your sister deserved a
beating for her mistakes. She had the audacity to hit Hank back until he was black and blue. He
couldn‘t bring himself to go home.
“Serenity, you might be younger than your sister, but you‘re married and can stand on your own. Since
you‘re Liberty‘s family, we must discuss the matter with you. You should get your sister to come to our
place and

Hank before taking him home.”
Chelsea‘s statement was something else. It was a real eye –opener for Serenity and Jasmine.
Serenity learned that Chelsea was ridiculous when her sister confided in her. Chelsea‘s absurdity right
now seemed to take the cake.
She was about to blow up.
The mother and daughter did not give Serenity a chance to speak as Mrs. Brown took over right after
Chelsea was done talking. “Serenity, Chelsea is fair to say that. Show me a family whose wife doesn‘t
go to work or cook.
“Hank has to work, and his schedule can be busy too. After going full steam on work in the morning, he
comes home to no lunch on the table. He was expected to make his own lunch too. It‘s like he‘s single
and has no wife.
“Hank pays for the mortgage and household expenses while your sister sits around the house and
does nothing except caring for the child. Sonny is an easy kid. Your sister fools around all day at home,
yet she doesn‘t know how lucky she is. She even fought with Hank.
“It‘s hard enough that Hank is under a lot of pressure. It‘s fine if she can‘t help with taking the burden
off him, but she refuses to cook and leaves Hank hungry. Of course, Hank‘s going to be angry.
Anybody will be, if they
were in his place. Going halves was the last resort. Your sister squanders money. She fiddled away
over a thousand bucks in one day. Does she think Hank‘s money grows on trees?
“For a family of three , fifty bucks for groceries is good enough, your sister would only need a thousand
and five hundred dollars a month. Still, Hank gives her three thousand bucks every month. She has the
cheek to fuss over going halves.
“She has the means to earn her own money. Don‘t mooch off Hank. Your sister might not care for
Hank, but we, parents, do. What‘s the point of your sister‘s education? She can‘t help with the financial
burden either. Look at Chelsea. She has three kids, but she works to help with the family.
“Your sister refuses to go to work because she wants to take care of the child. She insists Hank pay for
her upkeep. Is she Hank‘s daughter? Why should Hank be her bread and butter? Fine, so Hank pays
for her living expenses, but she can‘t even attend to Hank‘s needs or cook for him. Does that look like a
wife to you?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We have been nothing but kind and patient with your
sister. Do you think anybody else would be tolerant toward your sister? They would‘ve divorced her and
kicked your sister out.”
Mrs. Brown’s words siung harder than Chelsea‘s.
Jasmine picked up a broom, pretending to sweep around the place. In fact, she was waiting to get a
cue from her best friend to sweep the absurd mother and daughter out of here.
They were all women here. They should be supporting one another instead of giving each other a hard
time.
Boiling with rage, Serenity scowled and blurted coldly,” Mrs. Brown, do you think it‘s easy caring for a
child since you have experience caring for Chelsea‘s kids? Do you think you can work with a two–year–
old in tow?
“Chelsea has three children, but you and Mr. Brown are hands–on with the kids. All she did was pop
the babies out. My sister gave you a grandson that bore your last name, but you wouldn‘t help out as
grandparents. It‘s funny that you compare Chelsea with my sister.
“My sister can go to work and earn an income if you can help look after Sonny. My sister had a higher
income than my brother–in–law before they got married.”
