After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 543

Sophia’s loaded question instantly put me on guard. I shot her a calm look. “No, why do you ask?”

Sophia gave a little “oh,” her disappointment written all over her face. “Mr. Holcomb’s business is massive. Didn’t he give you a few extra properties when you split?”

“He did, just not in Braylin,” I replied, keeping my tone cool.

Sophia’s eyes sparkled as she looked at me, then she put on a troubled face and asked, “Sis, could you lend us some money for a down payment? Aiden and I just want a place to call our own.”

I honestly hadn’t expected Sophia to have the guts to ask me for money.

I mean, even my own brother wouldn’t dare bring this up, but she just went for it.

“Sorry, Sophia,” I said, keeping my tone firm. “I’ve invested all my money, and I don’t have any extra cash on hand.” ‘If she’s bold enough to ask, I’m bold enough to say no,‘ I thought to myself.

Sophia eyed me suspiciously. “Sis, you’re not fooling me, are you? Even if all your money’s invested, with your monthly salary and company bonuses… you must be making at least this much.”

She held up a finger. “A million, easy.”

No wonder she works at a bank–her guess wasn’t far off.

I chuckled. “Sophia, you guys just started working. It’s way too early to think about buying a place. Give it some time.”
