Henry felt a bit awkward hearing this. "Brother-in-law, I understand your good intentions. You want me to have my own career, but as for my sister… you give her so much money every day, so she doesn't really need any extra allowance, right?"
“Heh...”
Charlie shook his head with a smile. “Everything I give her, she saves. I know her better than you do. If it’s not money she’s earned herself, she feels uneasy spending it.”
Henry frowned. “But you two are married now, so you’re husband and wife. What’s yours is hers, right?”
“No!”
Charlie raised his hand, cutting him off. “You know the situation with the Lesser family and the Thompson family. To be honest, I don’t want them to feel like recognizing Nan is an act of charity, or for them to think they’re so important that Nan has no reason to refuse them. What I want…”
He paused, emphasizing each word. “Is for Nan to become a powerful figure in her own right. She doesn’t need to depend on any family; she is strong on her own!”
His words deeply resonated with Henry, who had never considered that Charlie would go to such lengths for Nancy.
Charlie let out a quiet laugh. “However, Nan will likely be busy with pregnancy and children in the next couple of years. So, I hope you can manage the company well and turn it into a leading force. You’re not going to feel resentful about the fact that half of what you earn goes to your sister, are you?”
“Of course not!”
Henry’s face turned red as he immediately shouted, “My sister and I don’t differentiate between ourselves. Plus, the company is a gift from you, brother-in-law. I didn’t pay a cent for it, so giving half to my sister is completely fair!”
“I’m glad you see it that way.”
Charlie pushed a folder toward him. “Sign here, and then take good care of the company.”
Henry took a deep breath. He had never imagined that the company would have his name on it. His hands trembled slightly with excitement as he held the pen...
When Nancy signed the documents, she simply smiled and didn’t say much, signing without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Linda was sitting on a rocking chair, swinging her little feet happily. “Nan, you’ve been cooped up at home for a month now. Come out with me! You can’t keep sticking around Mr. Firth all the time.”
“Me sticking to him?”
The mention of this irritated Nancy. “Linda, open your eyes wide and look properly. It’s him sticking to me! If I hadn’t strongly persuaded him to leave, he’d still be lounging at home today.”
“Heehee…”
Linda laughed joyfully. “That’s great! It shows that Mr. Firth loves you, and cares about you. So, are you coming out with me or not?”
Nancy narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Linda, why are you so insistent on dragging me out? Spill it, what’s your real motive?”
“Well… well…”
Linda stuck her tongue out playfully. “The thing is, the Thompson family has opened a bunch of shops in Liverton recently, and they’ve quickly become the favorite hangouts for all the city’s elites and socialites. But…”
She awkwardly rubbed her fingers together. “Those places are crazy expensive, and… you know my situation. My parents don’t give me money, and I’m afraid I’ll run out and embarrass myself.”
“Not enough money?”
Nancy’s eyes widened in shock. She knew exactly how much Linda made—not a fortune, but still tens of millions a year.
And that wasn’t enough?
