Chapter 154
Chelsea cut in while Serenity was still talking. “We should be responsible for the children we give birth to. The parents–in–law have no obligation to look after the grandkids.”

“That‘s right. Children should be their parents‘ responsibility. Why don‘t you care for your own children then, Chelsea?”
Chelsea opened her mouth and retorted, “My parents are happy to take care of my children. You could tell your
sister to ask your parents to care for hers too.”
Serenity picked up the glass of water in front of Chelsea and splashed it on her face.
“Ah! What the hell was that, Serenity!”
“I was helping you to rinse your filthy mouth.” Serenity shot an indifferent glare at the mother and daughter
Livid , Chelsea wanted to put violence into action when Mrs. Brown held her back. Mrs. Brown said to her daughter, “Your sister–in–law‘s parents are gone for over a decade. You can‘t blame Serenity for being angry since you made a hurtful comment.”
“But she shouldn‘t have splashed me with water. My
clothes are wet now. Serenity, do you know how much my clothes cost? Can you afford to pay me back?”
Putting all her energy into sweeping, Jasmine seized the opportunity to get a word in. “Your clothes would be worth a thousand bucks if they‘re the real deal. It‘s a pity that yours are a knockoff, so they aren‘t worth much. You have been scammed if you spent a thousand plus on them. I would say the price is no more than two hundred dollars.”
Chelsea grimaced as she pointed her finger at Jasmine and yelled, “What do you know? You‘re the one with the knockoff. Mine is an original. I spent over a thousand bucks. Can you afford the brand? You must be jealous of me because you can‘t afford them and called mine a knockoff.”
Jasmine clicked her tongue. “The price tag on my clothes is several thousand dollars. A designer label costs tens of thousands . Your clothes are something I use as a rag at home.”
“You…” Chelsea turned black in the face.
She had something to hide as she only spent a few hundred on the outfit. She had checked the original brand on its official website. With an authentic piece of clothing priced at over a thousand bucks, Chelsea could not be sure she was wearing the real thing.
“Serenity,” Chelsea cried. “You sure hire all sorts of
people. You should fire her.”
Serenity retorted callously, “I‘m sorry. She‘s not my employee but my partner. Are you sure the clothes on you aren‘t a knockoff? Why do I get the feeling that you‘re hiding your shame with anger?”
Who else but Chelsea would play up her knockoff as the real thing?
It was hilarious that Chelsea claimed she could not afford the clothes.
“Chelsea, let‘s not talk about the clothes. Here‘s what I think about my sister and brother–in–law‘s situation. As part of my sister‘s family, I stand by my sister‘s decision to go halves on everything since Hank wants to go Dutch. He proposed the idea, so he should bear the consequences. Why should he get all the good and only pay his share while my sister does and covers for everything else?”
