Chapter 256


    “Yes, Carson. Yourpany should have earned a lot after those few years, right? Eliza is your only


    sister, so you should at least offer something for her marriage.”


    “I knew Lily was all for justice!” My mother-inw nearly started jumping up and down with excitement.


    My sister-inwughed through her tears as my father-inw looked at Carson. They were all waiting


    for his answer.


    Carson, who was ced under our scrutiny, exined impatiently, “I don’t have any money. I could


    barely scalp fifty thousand, not to mention a few million.”


    “Lily, look at Carson’s attitude!” Eliza expected me to say something.


    “Carson, what happened? Didn’t you say business went well? How could you not even cash out fifty


    grand?” I acted surprised.


    “Yes! How can apany as big as yours have no money?” Carson’s mother insisted,


    “Business hasn’t been good recently, so I’ve invested most of my money in orders. I don’t have much


    left,” exined Carson.


    “What should we do? What about my marriage?” Eliza began to sob.


    “How can I know what to do? You’re getting married anyway. It’s not like it’s apetition about who


    has the most dowry. If the man loves you, would he mind if you had no dowry?”


    “You can’t be like that. That man is from a wealthy family, so Eliza will be looked down upon if she


    marries him without. present any gifts. Even the servants would look down on her. Look at you and


    Lily. If you were rich back then, would your father-inw still look down on you?”


    Then my mother-inw gave me an apologetic smile. “Lily, please don’t be offended. I’m just trying to


    set an example, and I’m not saying your dad isn’t good.”


    I smiled softly as Carson gave me a wary look. “But, me not having money now is a fact too.


    want me to do?”


    “Lily, why don’t you help Carson?” My mother-inw suddenly turned to me. After she suggested this,


    the entire family turned to look at me.


    How could this bunch of useless idiots be so shameless as to ask me to help them?


    I smile softly. “Mom, what can I do? My sry is barely enough and I’ve already lost my savings from


    thest few years. I just don’t have enough to help.”


    “Can’t you ask your


    father? Ask him if he can lend us some, and tell him Carson will pay him back after he starts making


    money again.”


    “To borrow money from my father?” Oh God! A bunch of shameless idiots! I smiled and nced at


    Carson. “Husband, was it your idea?”


    Carson didn’t expect me to confront him directly. He was already used to meing up with all sorts of


    ideas to help him and his family over thest few years, so he was taken aback by my sudden question


    before replying, “Honey, of course not! And my mother. .”


    Then he turned to take a look at my mother-inw. “Mom, stop making things worse.”


    “What do you mean I’m making things worse? Am I not just talking about the truth? You and Lily don’t


    have any money right now, so it’s not like our inws can just leave you to fend for yourself. . We are


    just borrowing, not taking.”
