Chapter 501

This news totally threw me off.

If Edward really helped my brother out at work, then I’d be owing him another favor without even realizing it.

If he doesn’t mention it, should I just play dumb and act like nothing happened?

My brother has always been the type to lose interest quickly–he’d get fired up about something, then drop it just as fast. Growing up, our family sheltered him so much that he stayed innocent and way too trusting of others.

All these years, Jared had been secretly supporting him financially, which only made things worse–he never learned the value of money before he even set foot in the real world.

Finance is all about handling tens of thousands of dollars every day. Can my brother really be up to the task?

It’s not a good idea to keep discussing this with my brother over the phone. He’s impulsive and way too sure of himself–I don’t want to crush his confidence.

Should I talk to Edward and ask him to withdraw the job?

No, if my brother found out I was meddling behind his back, my image as his sister would be totally ruined, and we’d probably end up at odds.

The only thing I could do now was plead with Edward to find a position that actually suits my brother.

I picked noon the next day to text Edward.

I told him everything, holding nothing back. About ten minutes later, he replied, “I don’t know anything about your brother.”

Staring at his message, my mind buzzed. ‘Did I just make a fool of myself?‘
