Peter came home to an unbelievable mess. The three of them were fine. Yet, no one bothered to tidy up.
He questioned them about it. The three of them had their respective explanations.
Samuel said, “It was too noisy outside. We were unable to leave the house to buy food. We’re exhausted. How do you expect us to clean? In addition, we’ve never done the chores before. How would we know what to do?”
Kenny furrowed his brows and added, “There are a million things we need to handle at home, not to mention we also have to take care of Mom. Don’t split hairs with us,
“I know that you’re facing many problems now. However, there’s no need to release your frustrations on us. Also, aren’t we moving out soon? Why would we need to waste time cleaning?”
“That’s right, Peter,” said Maisy hurriedly.
As the only girl in the family, she didn’t want to be treated as their maid. Her hands were for better things. They weren’t made for chores.
The three of them were as self–righteous as could be. As Peter stared at them, he inhaled deeply before exclaiming, “The three of you!”
“Don’t be angry. Didn’t you say we were going to move? Have you found a moving company? We have so much stuff. A few lorries will be needed to transport them. Also, have you gotten helpers to clean Elden Residence? I’ve forgotten how many rooms there are, and whether there will be enough space for all of us,” said Kenny.
Peter was livid. He roared, “You’re asking me? I’ve been at the end of my wits handling the company affairs. Are all of you just going to sit around at home doing nothing?
“A moving company? We don’t have money for that! I’ve sold the house already. It needs to be emptied by tomorrow morning. Start packing immediately! No one will be sleeping tonight, so stop dreaming!”
The three of them were dumbfounded by Peter’s rant.
It was as though they’d been struck by lightning. They were forcefully roused from their dreams of the future.

Peter shouted once again, “Go pack!”
12 hours later, they stood in Elden Residence. Countless things were strewn across the floor of the dilapidated house.
Looking at the scene before them, no one said a word. Sadie had been placed on the couch. She was paralyzed and could do nothing to help.
Back then, she and Jeffrey had managed to leave this house after making a fortune. Who knew that she’d be back here one day?
“Don’t we have other properties?”
Maisy couldn’t accept it. It was worse than the house that Janine had rented.
In addition, Janine would soon be moving into a luxurious neighborhood, while she had to stay in a run–down house with the Williamses.
She was unwilling to accept her new reality. Maisy regretted her decision.
“I’ve used the money in all your accounts to pay our debts. All the family businesses have also been sold. We’re practically penniless now. However, I still have ten thousand in my account. What can we do with it?
“Let’s clean up now. Tomorrow, everyone will need to go out and get a job. The debt that we’re burdened with is gargantuan. We need to clear it as soon as possible.”
The three of them were dumbfounded.
They needed to get a job?
They only had ten thousand left?
“Let’s talk to Skylar. She’s earned a lot from Joe. She also knows that Gardner boy. She’ll definitely be able to help us clear our debts,” proposed Samuel.
