Ever since the Sydney Family was restructured, all major and minor affairs at home were overseen by Arthur Sydney. All the money and power of speech were also held in Arthur Sydney's hands. Due to his disappointment in the family, Arthur Sydney became incredibly strict with his two sons.
In the past six months, both families have been living quite frugally, with each family receiving only 5,000 bucks a month for living expenses. For them, who once found 500,000 hardly enough, 5,000 bucks was practically a starving pace.
Therefore, it stands to reason that neither family has seen any tonic for quite a while. Hearing Keira Leaf bring it up naturally made some people crave it.
"Felicity sis, listen to how my aunt speaks. All I want is some tonic, yet it's as if I've committed some unspeakable sin," Jojo Sydney complained dissatisfiedly.
