Chapter 3834

Chelsea silently cursed Hank for his inability to grasp the situation and his unwillingness to mend his relationship with Sonny. Instead, he had even convinced his parents to stop supporting her. When Chelsea thought about Sonny’s bright future—living in a large house, driving luxury cars, inheriting a major company—bitterness washed over her. In contrast, her own children might find decent jobs, but they would likely lead modest, nine-to-five lives with incomes far below what Sonny might casually spend on meals. Overwhelmed by jealousy, Chelsea became increasingly desperate for Lucas and Sonny to develop a strong brotherly bond.

“Mom, why don’t we try to get custody of Sonny?” she suggested. “If Sonny lives with us, Liberty and Serenity won’t abandon him and will support the Brown family. He’d grow closer to us, and when he’s successful, he’ll remember the Browns.”

Mrs. Brown motioned for Lucas to go play, and once he left, she lightly tapped Chelsea on the forehead. Chelsea pulled away, but Mrs. Brown pinched her cheek, quietly scolding her, “Get those ideas out of your head. You’re only thinking about your own kids, using Sonny for their benefit. Sonny is your nephew, and you’re treating him like a pawn, hoping to drag him down.”

She continued, “No wonder Sonny tells Hank he doesn’t like his aunt and grandmother. I was influenced by you when you spoke negatively about Liberty and Duncan in front of Sonny, and now he resents me.”

Chelsea defended herself. “What parent doesn’t look out for their children? Mom, you’re calling me selfish, and I admit it—I want the best for my kids. Is that wrong?”

“You’re not wrong…

“You want what’s best for your children, but using Sonny is not the way to achieve that,” Mrs. Brown responded firmly. “If you desire good lives for your kids, raise them well and teach them to be self-sufficient. This way, they will have a brighter future on their own.”

Mrs. Brown was resolute. Hank had informed her that if they continued to speak ill of Sonny’s family in front of him, he would talk to Liberty about changing Sonny’s last name to Lewis. Once that occurred, Sonny would officially belong to the Lewis family, and as long as Hank did not require financial support from Sonny, no one could intervene.

Mrs. Brown feared that if Sonny’s surname changed, he would be lost to them. Hank had also made it clear that Sonny would have the best opportunities if he remained with Liberty. If Liberty and Duncan had their own child, Sonny would still receive good treatment, but Duncan’s focus would naturally shift towards his biological child.

If Sonny was capable and respectable, Duncan would treat him well. However, if the Browns negatively influenced Sonny, Duncan might sever ties, leaving Sonny with nothing. Ultimately, Mrs. Brown, who had helped raise Sonny and loved him dearly, recognized what was truly best for him. As her only grandson, she made the choice to prioritize his future and well-being above all else.
