“That’s right, Serenity. Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren’t for you, Lucas and Sonny might’ve… I won’t continue living if something happens to the two children.”Mrs. Brown felt thankful toward Serenity too. Serenity said, “Mrs. Brown, Chelsea, you thanked me yesterday. Sonny is my nephew. I’ll surely protect him well.”No matter how naughty Lucas was, she could not stand by and leave him either. In that situation, anyone who had the ability would not choose to abandon the children. “We should be thanking you. Do you have time, Serenity? We want to treat you to a meal,” Chelsea asked with a smile. “Invite your sister too. I’ll treat you two to a meal. By the way, you have two bodyguards. Are they outside? I want to thank them personally too.”“Chelsea, you can treat them instead of us. Milo, Harry, come in for a second.”Serenity had but only ordered the bodyguards to save the children. The ones who actually saved Lucas were these bodyguards. It was only right tha
Old Mr. Hunt had spread rumors that Scott was not their biological son in their hometown. When he felt like he had made up enough rumors, he came looking for Serenity eagerly the next day. “What are you guys doing here?”Mrs. Brown looked like she saw an enemy when she spotted Old Mr. Hunt. She still remembered that he had collected tens of thousands of dollars from her but did not do his job. She went to get her money back, but he refused to own up. It infuriated her a lot. Upon seeing Old Mr. Hunt bringing his son and grandchildren with him, Mrs. Brown glared at him with a cold face. “You’re trying to ruin Serenity’s reputation again, right? You old fart.”Mrs. Brown had heard about the Hunts causing commotion before. She told her husband in private before that the Hunts were utterly brazen. They took away a considerable portion of the insurance payout over ten years ago and even chased Liberty and Serenity out, which resulted in them not being able to return home. They did n
“See? The old woman in your family is facing retribution now. She’s sick, right? You don’t have to seek treatment for her. She’ll die anyway even if she gets treated. She can meet her maker earlier and apologize to your son and daughter-in-law.”Mrs. Brown and Chelsea were sharp-tongued. Their scolding had Old Mr. Hunt jump to beat people up. Mr. Brown and Hank stepped forward and stopped him from moving. Old Mr. Hunt pointed his finger at Mrs. Brown and scolded, “It’s none of your business. Who do you think you are? It’s none of your concern. You, a Brown, have nothing to do with the Hunt family’s matter.“A married daughter is like splashed water. The sisters were the ones who shamelessly came back to fight for property. Do you divide and give any property to your daughter? You leave them all to your son as well. Look at you talking.”Chelsea said loudly, “I got married to a capable husband. I have a house, a car, and savings. I gave up my inheritance to my younger brother. I
Chelsea walked outside and went to John’s car. She aimed her knife and punctured all four tires. Once done, she brought the knife back into the store, washed it clean, and placed it back in its original position. Before she left, she even said to Serenity, “I punctured his car tires. If he wants compensation, tell them they can find me as much as they want.“We won’t be disturbing your business, Serenity. We’ll be heading home now.”The Browns left very quickly. Elisa only released Sonny after silence returned to the bookstore. However, she realized he had fallen asleep in her embrace. She found it funny and said to Serenity, “Sonny actually fell asleep.”Serenity carried her nephew, placed him on the small bed, and covered him with a blanket. “I never had a good feeling about the Browns, but I feel like they finally did something good.” Elisa had watched the scene and was pleased with it. Jasmine said with a smile, “This is called evil people being tamed by the same kind.
A ringtone was heard. It was Serenity’s phone. Her instincts told her that it was her husband’s call. When she took her phone out, it was really Zachary who was calling. “My husband’s calling me,” Serenity told her two best friends. Jasmine was tactful and walked away to take a novel she had not finished from a bookshelf. Elisa laughed and said, “I should be going back too. If there are no problems with the contract, I’ll have someone sign the contract with the mayor. Our project can commence afterward.”She took her bag as she spoke and left after speaking. Serenity smiled and proceeded to answer Zachary’s call. “Honey.”Zachary’s voice was warm and alluring. He was captivating his wife with his voice on purpose. Serenity could not stand him doing it. She could not help shuddering. She laughed and said, “Just say what you want to, Zachary. You don’t have to seduce me.”Zachary was speechless. “Why are you laughing? I heard your laughter when you answered my call
“Mm. They came to thank me. My granddad brought my uncles and cousins over too. The two families quarreled. Chelsea and Mrs. Brown chased my granddad and the others out with the broom. The tires of John’s car were punctured too. Chelsea did it.”Zachary laughed upon hearing that. “The Brown family has finally done a satisfying thing.”Serenity giggled. “My granddad and the others probably came to tell me that my dad wasn’t their biological son. They want us to give up on inheriting the property. If we don’t, they’ll likely negotiate with us. Getting my parents’ property back without fighting a lawsuit is the best-case scenario.”If Old Mr. Hunt really wanted to negotiate, Serenity would be willing to do it too. However, there was no way she would give up on her inheritance. “Me and Granddad’s DNA test results will be out within these two days. I’ll see how they can continue making this up after I get the results.”“It’ll be ready by tomorrow. I’ll go and get the results with
“Mm, he said there’s a lunch appointment in the afternoon.”Tania said nonchalantly, “Tell him you won’t be going then. We haven’t eaten outside or gone shopping together before. Zack won’t fight me on this.”People have been spreading rumors that she had had a bad relationship with Serenity. They said Serenity had always attended banquets with Mrs. Stone but was rarely seen returning to the manor to accompany her mother-in-law; neither had they eaten together in public or gone shopping. Tania wanted to ignore the rumors. She was aware of the status of her relationship with Serenity. However, she was asked about it by her friends whenever she went to play cards with them. She felt annoyed. Tania gave up on playing cards and looked for her daughter-in-law immediately. She wanted to take her daughter-in-law and splurge at luxury brand boutiques. She would dispel the rumors with concrete actions. That was the reason for Tania’s sudden visit. “Okay.”Serenity was about to call
Serenity hung up the phone after saying a few words to Zachary.Not two minutes later, she received a notification that money was transferred to her bank account.Zachary changed the phone number bound to the household bank card to hers. He was worried she would feel uncomfortable if he received a notification every time she spent money.He told her to let her use the money at will, but...Zachary was very considerate with regard to that.After the phone number linked to the account was changed to Serenity’s, she became much more comfortable when spending money.Zachary transferred a sum of money to the account and told Serenity to spend as much as she wanted while shopping with her mother-in-law.Liberty arrived a few minutes later.Only when her nephew was handed over to her sister did Serenity accompany her mother-in-law to lunch.Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent time together until the evening.Tania was the wife of the current head of the York family.
