The question is why? Why keep a money pit that she can't return to? I know in some areas (mine for example), rates and taxes do not stop on empty properties.
People already mentioned they might be holding it for eventual resale, which I agree with. It may also not be legal to sell it since Barb is still alive and they don't have the power to overrule her since it's her name on the deed or whatever.
But no way in hell they're going to keep 14BC any longer than they have to.
A legion of weens is out there self-doxxing and dumpster diving on the daily, and we still don't have concrete info on Chris's honor roll status.
We have his report cards which certifiably prove he was an idiot and wouldn't have qualified. Conversely, the actual
value of the Honor Roll decorum probably was a couple of bucks at most, so in conjunction with how we know MHS was just trying to get the Chandlers out of the school system I would guess they gave him the sash and stuff just to keep him happy for the
last day they would ever have to fucking deal with him and his parents. Not that it stopped Chris from having a terrible day because of his overblown entitlement to things even he damn well knew he didn't deserve.
He did say he's going to go back to 14 Branchland to "Clean it up", which I mean "get his toys out", because lets face it, Chris isn't going to be making that place into a "nice" condition just so that the bank can take it.
If there is any single person to not believe about what's going to happen to Chris...it's
Chris.
Remember, he was absolutely
sure he was going to go home scot free back in February...NOPE! Go to Western State, do not pass Go, do not collect Tugboat.
Though one positive thing is I doubt Chris is going to want his pets back. Every single animal that managed to survive Casa de Chandler up to his arrest and got rehomed to foster families are in better places right now and I hope they never get given back.
