Chapter 181

With Shawn gone, Jasmine expressed her concern. “Seren, did your sister have another argument with your brother–in–law?”

While caressing her nephew’s head, Serenity replied, “Hank is still at his parents‘ home He told my sister to return his portion of the living expenses because he wasn’t eating at home He wants his cut back.”

Jasmine responded after a brief pause, “He’s not much of a keeper, isn’t he?”

Serenity fell silent for a moment before answering, “My sister needs to find stability before she can think about the future.”

“How was Mrs. Dawson’s party? Did you have chemistry with her son?”

“My head is still aching.”

Serenity blinked her eyes and burst out laughing. “Don’t tell me you faked being drunk at the party?”

It was all about poise and grace within the higher society.
