Chapter 978


    “Weren’t you and Jack the reason Mom and Dad asked for a lot of money? Ask any family, and none of


    them will tell you that they expect that much for a wedding gift. What would you think if your children’s


    inws demand that much for a wedding too?


    “That kind of money will be good for me to start a family with Hank. How can I possibly allow Hank to


    give it away? It’s only for formalities‘ sake, but what did you tell Mom and Dad? 777,777 dors is lucky


    for you. All I get is seven thousand dors in return, and nothing more.


    “Mom and Dad will get a hundred thousand dors while you and Jack get three hundred thousand


    each. Why? Why are they selling their daughter to give their sons everything? What about the


    daughter?”


    Faced with her sister’s questioning, Oscar turned red in the face andshed out,” You’re favoring


    outsiders instead of family. We’re your brothers. You should get more out of the Browns since they’re


    wealthy, but you can’t get anything now because you’re married.


    “You went behind our backs and got married to Hank. Look, the 777,777–dor gift is now seventy


    thousand. What’s wrong with helping me and Jack out when you’re getting a nice life in the city? It’s


    normal for siblings to help one another.”


    “Just because I’m your sister doesn’t mean I owe you. Why should I give you all the help when life is


    not even good for me? Why should I give you everything to renovate your houses? What about me? I


    don’t even know if I have a bedroom, let alone a home, with Hank. Why should I suffer while you live


    the life?


    “We’re all Mom and Dad’s children. Sure, I owe Mom and Dad my life, and I’m not saying I won’t help


    them out financially. You can give a little something to our parents too. Like you, I can contribute to theirContent is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    medical bills if they fall sick.


    “I don’t owe you and Jack anything!”


    “You’re not really part of the family anymore since you’re taking Hank’s family name. Do whatever you


    want. I don’t have time for you.” Unable to win the argument, Oscar grimaced and opened the car door


    to walk away.


    Jessica was fuming too.


    With the five thousand dorsing to mind, she opened the car door and shouted at her brother’s


    receding figure, “Give me back the five thousand dors, Oscar!”


    He better cough up the money since he was not doing her bidding.


    Oscar took off running.


    Fat chance of him ever returning the money!


    He believed his sister would not cause a scene over five thousand dors.


    Jessica was not going to have a falling out with her brother over a small lump of cash. In fact, she


    wished she did not have a fight with her brother. How did the situation get out of hand?


    Nevertheless, her family’s actions let her down every time she thought about it.


    Jessica saw no wrong in asking for a bit more financial help. She believed Hank would not value her if


    she married into the family without getting anything out of it.
