Chapter 3902

“Let me ask you something, Chelsea,” Mr. Brown began, his tone sharp and relentless. “Have you ever returned to your parents’ home without bringing anything? Even a roll of paper from your brother’s house—you’d find a way to take it home. What do you think this place is, your personal supply depot? You treat your family like a group of fools you can rob blind!”
He didn’t give her a chance to respond, his anger intensifying.
“It’s partly your mother’s fault too. We’ve helped you far too much in the past, and you’ve taken it for granted. Worse, you’ve turned us against Liberty. You had the audacity to blame her, claiming she didn’t do enough, even persuading us to neglect our own grandson. You’ve always acted as if the world owes you something, Chelsea!”
Chelsea’s eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face. She opened her mouth, but no words emerged. Mr. Brown was not finished.
“From now on, if you come back here, you will leave empty-handed unless Hank gives you something himself. If he doesn’t offer it, don’t you dare take a single thing. This is Hank’s house now, and when your mother and I are gone, Hank will be responsible for this family. We depend on him for our retirement, not you.
“And don’t even think about swindling money out of your mother anymore. We are aware of the so-called hot pot incident. What kind of daughter tricks her own mother like that? You’re a grown woman, Chelsea. You’re a mother yourself. How would you feel if your daughter pulled the same stunts on you one day?”
His voice grew colder, and his disappointment sliced through the air like a knife.
“Life has a way of making people face the consequences, Chelsea. Haven’t you already seen the fallout from your actions? You’ve faced retribution, and yet you refuse to change.” He paused briefly before continuing, his

Frustration is mounting.

“Hank and Liberty divorced, and Hank remarried. He and Jessica could have had a good life together, but you couldn’t accept it. You were jealous of Serenity’s success and envious that she married into wealth. So, what did you do? You supported Liberty, which I don’t fault you for, but then you set your sights on Jessica, dragging your mother into your petty schemes.

“You harassed and humiliated her until she broke. Jessica ended up on the wrong side of the law, and you played a significant role in that. You are a troublemaker, Chelsea!

“If you ever come back here and create more chaos, mark my words—I’ll sever ties with you. No more visits, no more excuses. You’re my daughter, but there’s only so much I can endure.”

Chelsea sat frozen, stunned by her father’s anger.

“You’re doing well for yourself,” Mr. Brown continued. “You and your husband are healthy, your business is thriving, and you’ve saved millions. Meanwhile, look at your brother. Hank’s life is in ruins, and yet you still try to take advantage of him. Don’t you feel any shame?

“When Hank was doing well, he went out of his way for you. He spoiled you, prioritized you, and sacrificed his own family in the process. Even now, you’ve done nothing to support him, despite your own comfort and stability.

“And Sonny?” His voice softened, but the anger lingered. “He’s just a little boy, Chelsea. Yet you’re already plotting to use him. Do you think that because he’s fortunate to have a determined mother and a wealthy aunt, he’s fair game? That’s appalling.

“If you want your kids to have a better future, work for it. Be like Liberty. Build something of your own. Don’t sit here trying to siphon off Sonny’s blessings.”

like some sort of leech. “Sonny, don’t listen to your aunt,” he said firmly as he turned to his grandson. “She doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Just listen to your mother and Aunt Serenity. They genuinely care about you.” Mr. Brown let out a long, frustrated sigh.

Since Hank divorced Liberty, Mr. Brown had gradually recognized the full extent of Chelsea’s manipulative behavior. For too long, he had ignored it simply because she was his daughter. However, her selfishness had escalated to a level he could no longer overlook.

He refused to allow her to exploit Sonny in the same way she had with everyone else in the family. Sonny symbolized hope for the Brown family—a chance to rise above past mistakes.

Mr. Brown clenched his fists, his heart heavy with regret. How had he raised someone as shameless as Chelsea?
