“Serenity, Liberty, you came back just in time. What’s this about? I’m telling you, the moment you left this house and this town, the house and fields belonged to us. “My son left this house for us. The property belongs to us, so we can give it to whoever we want, but we won’t give it to you since you’re married into other families.” Old Mrs. Hunt felt slightly guilty when she saw the sisters bringing many people over. When she was in the hospital, she had heard about how incredible Serenity had become. Now, she also knew that Serenity soared to the top and became the missus of a wealthy family. This made Old Mrs. Hunt a little guilty. After all, she and her husband had forcibly occupied the house. Back then, taking advantage of the fact that the sisters were still underage and incapable, she even kicked them out. Serenity was only about twelve years old when she and her sister were booted out. After Serenity and Liberty were thrown out of the house, they would return to the
Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Hunt was only an old woman. She could not break free from the two bodyguards that were holding her. The two bodyguards did not harm her and only took her away. When the other members of the Hunts saw what was happening, they quickly rushed over. Nonetheless, both the Yorks’ and Stones’ security teams also moved forward simultaneously to block them out, disallowing them from getting close. “They hit me, they hit me!” Seeing as they were outnumbered, Old Mrs. Hunt plopped to the ground as soon as her feet touched the earth. She slapped her thigh while shouting that she was being hit. Despite that, the people in town only gathered to watch and did not get close. Someone was also taking videos of them. The crowd could see the truth for themselves. They saw clearly that the people brought by Serenity only carried Old Mrs. Hunt away and did not hurt her at all. Old Mrs. Hunt was probably trying to blame the other party. The person recording the video
Serenity sneered, “When my parents just died 16 years ago, we got 1.2 million dollars in compensation. You and Granddad along with your children and grandchildren crowded our house to the point where we didn’t even have a place to stand. “You forced me and my sister to hand over the money, saying that you had a share of it. It’s true that you and Granddad had a share of the money, but how much did you take? “Back then, in order to get more money from my parents’ insurance payout, you stated that Liberty and I don’t need to support you on behalf of our father while you’re alive, and that we don’t need to hold funerals for you when you pass. We don’t need to sustain you in life and bury you in death. It was written in black and white. “Perhaps you’ve destroyed your copy, but the other copy is well-kept by Liberty. I believe the town committee has also kept a copy. The townspeople who were witnesses are still here today. Should we ask them to confront you? “Does the house belong t
Now that Serenity and Liberty were capable enough to come back to reclaim their parents’ property, Mrs. Deli fully supported them. “Yeah, it was you who said that they don’t need you to support you while you’re alive or handle your funerals when you pass. You didn’t raise them in the first place, so how could you be so shameless as to ask them for money? Your sons and grandsons benefitted so much. Why don’t you ask them for money instead?“Your whole family made a fortune from taking advantage of their misfortune, yet you’re bullying the orphaned girls. Your family has gone too far, so you should be struck by lightning instead. You’re old now. How many more years can you live? You’re not even afraid of going to the depths of hell after death, never to be reborn.” Even though the people in town opined that married daughters should not return home to fight for their family property, they felt that Old Mrs. Hunt and her people were too much. They could not help but intervene. “They
Mrs. Stone continued, “I came here today not to quarrel with you. I’m just here to accompany my nieces, and I also want to see the place my sister used to live. By the way, there’ll be less trouble if you move out voluntarily. If you don’t, we’ll sue you for the forced occupation of someone’s property. “We’ll get the house back even if we have to go to court. When the time comes, we’ll let the court rule how the property is going to be split! Don’t you dream about occupying what belongs to my nieces. Similarly, they won’t take what doesn’t belong to them.” The people from the Hunts’ hometown exchanged looks. It turned out that Lisa’s sister had found Serenity and Liberty. The Hunts knew that Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt, but of course, they would not spread this news in town. For the Hunts, it was bad for them that Lisa’s sister recognized Serenity and her sister. Was John not a senior executive of a subsidiary of Stone Group? It was said that John had lost his job because
It was last year. Old Mrs. Hunt’s little grandson brought a group of people to stop Serenity’s car because she refused to pay for the medical bill. They wanted to teach her a lesson but ended up being badly beaten by her. The little grandson was even sent to the police station to be detained for fifteen days. On the other hand, nothing happened to Serenity. It was Serenity who had beaten them up. However, the people at the police station said that it was justifiable self-defense. Old Mrs. Hunt was heartbroken when she learned that her little grandson was beaten up by Serenity and detained. She hated Serenity terribly. “Mom, let’s wait for Dad to come back.” “Grandmom, stay calm, stay calm.” The others also persuaded Old Mrs. Hunt. They were unreasonable, to begin with. Old Mrs. Hunt was rude and unreasonable, but it was useless against Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Stone, and the rest who had power and status. Mrs. Stone had said that she would go to court for this. Perhaps
Old Mrs. Hunt saw that her daughters-in-law and grandchildren were inviting Serenity to their houses. Plus, she had been making a scene for so long, but instead of gaining anything, she became a joke to the people in her hometown. She decided to ease her expression and said, “Liberty, Serenity, your aunt is right. At the end of the day, we’re a family. If anything, let’s sit down and talk. “I don’t want to argue with you anymore. We’ll wait for your granddad and the others to come back so they can talk to you. No matter what, this house is mine.” Serenity sneered, “I don’t want to argue or fight with you as well, Grandmom. Let’s meet in court.” Going to court was to determine their shares of the inheritance. In Audrey’s words, this house was a joint property of her parents after their marriage—half belonged to her mother while the other half to her father. This house covered an area of 1,100 square feet. Half of it belonged to their mother whereas the other half belonged to t
“We won’t be able to win the lawsuit?” Old Mrs. Hunt continued, “This house was built by your Uncle Scott, and I’m his mother, but I still can’t inherit it?” “You can, but you can’t inherit it completely. Just like what I just told you, you can only inherit a quarter of Uncle Scott’s share. It’s the same for Granddad.” Noah was only patiently explaining everything to his grandmom because he was afraid she would clash with Serenity again. “I don’t care. In any case, your granddad and I live in this house. It belongs to us, and we can give it to whomever we want. Am I going to be arrested if we lose the lawsuit?” Noah scared his grandmom, “If the law is enforced, you and Granddad will be evicted from the house. If you cause trouble, you’ll be arrested and given free meals like how I was detained last time. Grandmom, it’s scary to be detained. It’s better not to break the law.” He was traumatized after being detained for fifteen days. He did not have the guts to do anything ha
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.
Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,
It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in
“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and
The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi
In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com
