Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2248

As Jessica busied herself with some of Liam’s matters, a group of relatives hovered anxiously over her shoulder. They seemed to be on the lookout for something else.

“Jessica, how are your parents’ assets going to be split?”

“That’s right, Jessica, since you’re the only child, they should have left everything they own to you, shouldn’t they?”

“Um, Jessica, our family business has recently run into a spot of trouble. Will you be able to help us out?”

Jessica found herself suddenly overwhelmed with a surge of requests for financial aid. Wryly, Jessica pondered to herself, Why are all these people actually here for? To grieve? Perhaps merely to borrow money? Jessica felt a sudden chill in her heart, as if icy fingers had suddenly reached out and grabbed it.

“Jessica, our family is facing some difficulty as well. We’re all family here, aren’t we? You won’t be able to spend all that money by yourself anyway. Help us out a little.”

Jessica felt her blood turn cold. She suddenly developed a sense of loathing for the feverish, groping crowd surrounding her.
