Chapter 1212

Author: Gu Lingfei
Mike persuaded his granddad to come to an agreement with Serenity and Liberty regarding the house.

“Okay,” Serenity agreed.

If negotiation was on the table, she wanted it. She did not want to waste time on a lawsuit.

An hour later, Zachary arranged a private room in Wiltspoon Hotel for the Hunt family to talk.

Liberty brought Sonny with her.

Old Mr. Hunt called John back too. He was fighting for Scott’s house because he wanted John to inherit it. John had always been his favorite grandson, so he liked to discuss everything with John.

After hearing that Serenity used their youngest cousin to get a DNA test done with Old Mr. Hunt in advance, John was cognizant that continuing their actions would only paint them as clowns.

There was a mishap with Harriet’s cosmetic surgery too. She was supposed to change her face to Serenity’s, but she came out looking like their other cousin instead...

It would be hard to carry out the plan of Harriet replacing Serenity as the missus of the York

    The Hunt family was speechless.They exchanged glances, and then Mike said, “Serenity, discuss it with your sister and name a price. Just sell the house to us.”“If we offer to sell it, will it be you or our grandparents paying?”Mike said, “Our grandparents are the ones staying in the house, so of course they’ll be the ones paying. However, they don’t have much savings after Grandmom got sick. All of us pitched in to pay for her medical fees. They may not be able to fork out a large amount of money at once.“You can let them sign an IOU. They’ll pay you as much money as they can now. If it’s not enough...”“Can they owe you the money?”Serenity could not help but ask, “They’re old and don’t have a source of income. How are they going to buy a house?”Mike was silent.Old Mr. Hunt heard his grandchildren’s conversation and said to his two sons angrily, “You brothers help me pay for the house. Scott’s share can be considered paid for since your mom and I are staying in the house

    “A few thousand per square foot.”Serenity looked at her two uncles and two cousins and asked them, “Do you have any objections? If you don’t, then we’ll go with Granddad’s idea. I’ll get someone to help me write the contract, then we’ll notarize the agreement. Granddad and Grandmom will have no share in the property my parents left behind in the future.“They don’t need to move out, but you have to pay for the rent and utilities every month. We won’t take advantage of you, but don’t even consider taking advantage of us either.”Zachary leaned into Serenity’s ear and whispered, “Transfer the ownership first. Although the name on the title deed is your dad’s, your grandparents are still around. Your sister and you will only be able to inherit it completely if they sign to give up their share of the inheritance.”If the title deed was transferred to the sisters’ names, there would be no need to wrangle with those people in the future.Serenity nodded.The Hunt family had no objecti

    The driver was Lily.The car she was driving belonged to Mrs. Lewis and it was lent to her to use while she was in Wiltspoon.Mrs. Lewis really liked Lily and tried her best to matchmake her with Duncan. However, Lily was not in a hurry to pursue Duncan. Instead, she accompanied Mrs. Lewis everywhere when she was free so that Mrs. Lewis would like her more.She was trying to appeal to her mother-in-law first.At Lily’s words, Mrs. Lewis turned her head to look outside the window. Lily was driving, and there were many cars behind them, so she could not suddenly brake or slow down. They were already a distance away by the time Mrs. Lewis turned to look.However, a mother could still easily recognize her son.“It’s Duncan,” Mrs. Lewis said confidently.“Who’s that woman talking to him?”Mrs. Lewis did not see Liberty clearly and said, “Lily, there’s an intersection ahead where you can make a U-turn. Let’s go back and see who that woman is.”Her youngest son seldom interacted with

    “Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”Liberty thanked him politely and added, “We’ll be going now. Goodbye.”Duncan said, “Drive safe. Bye, Sonny.”Sonny waved at him. “Bye bye, Dunc.”Liberty rode her e-bike and left with her son.Duncan stood where he was and watched the mother and son’s backs fade away. When they were out of sight, he turned back to his car, started the engine, and went back to his office.After his car left, the BMW parked a hundred feet behind his car drove off as well.“Drive faster, Lily. Overtake Duncan’s car and go further ahead to see who that woman is.”The two did not drive past Duncan after making the U-turn because they were afraid of being discovered by him, so they stopped not far from where he parked. However, they could not see the woman’s face clearly from that distance.Mrs. Lewis saw Liberty before, but that was when Liberty was still fat.Now that Liberty had lost dozens of pounds, Mrs. Lewis could not recognize her anymore.Furthermore, she on

    They lived in a small circle where paths intersected frequently. They would cross paths eventually.Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis only brought her up in passing. Lily only remembered a bit about Liberty because she was Serenity’s sister.“Yes, she divorced last yet. Her husband had an affair. I heard he was violent toward her too and wanted to go Dutch with her when it came to living expenses. Liberty stayed at home to raise their son and was considered a housewife, yet her husband wanted to go Dutch with her. It was clear it was because he disliked her, but she didn’t realize it.“I heard she only found out that her husband was cheating on her when she received evidence of his affair. Her husband was very stingy with her, but he bought luxury goods for his mistress.“Women, especially married women, need to love themselves more. If you don’t know how to love yourself, you can’t expect your husband to love and cherish you. You have to try and maintain financial independenc

    What Mrs. Lewis wanted to know was whether Liberty and Duncan contacted each other frequently in private.Lily heard Mrs. Lewis order someone to investigate Liberty’s recent situation and asked, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t think that Duncan is interested in Liberty, right?”“Liberty is divorced and fat. Duncan’s standards aren’t that low, but we still have to take precautions. Maybe Liberty is interested in Duncan. Lily, I want my daughter-in-law to be someone like you.”Even if Liberty had never divorced, she was still not up to Mrs. Lewis’s standards.Lily paused. “You’re right, I didn’t think of that. I just figured that Duncan would never like a divorced woman. Since you don’t approve of her, I won’t worry about her either.”“Lily, Duncan has always been single. There are no rumors or scandals about him, but he has never pursued a girl before either. He’s a bit boorish when it comes to emotions, but if anyone can conquer him, he’ll spoil that woman with a lifetime of tenderness.“

    After settling the matter of her parents’ house, Serenity returned to the bookstore in a happy mood.Unexpectedly, she saw Shawn, whom she had not seen for a long time.Shawn had taken two days of leave before the weekend, so he had a total of four days off to come back and see his parents.After learning that Serenity was not in the store, he came over to see his cousin.Jasmine did not know when Serenity would return. Shawn had just come in to sit for a while and was just about to leave. However, he bumped into Serenity just as he was leaving.“Serenity.”Shawn greeted Serenity with a smile, just like before.“Shawn?”Serenity checked Shawn out from head to toe before politely asking, “When did you come back? It’s been a long time. You look much more mature and steadier.”“I just got back today. My mom isn’t feeling well, and the factory isn’t too busy for the time being, so I took two days off before the weekend to visit my mom. Yes, it’s been a long time. You look even pre

    Jasmine rubbed her forehead and said, “I know you never loved Shawn. I was just worried that you’d feel guilty. Shawn is fine the way he is now. He’s the successor of the family, so he has to suffer a little. He needs to face some setbacks in order to grow and become steady.”“Aunt Rachel did all that for his own good. It’s good that he was sent away to train himself. What do I have to be guilty about?”Serenity sat at the counter and took out her phone. “I’ll tell my man about this lest he gets jealous and misunderstands again.”Taking the initiative to tell Zachary was better than him finding out from the bodyguards.With Zachary’s personality, he was sure to get jealous again if he found out from his bodyguards that Shawn and she had met.Jasmine went into the kitchen.After a while, she came out with a plate of grapes and placed it on the counter, saying, “Shawn bought these—the seedless grapes we often eat.“So, how was it? Was your dad your grandparents’ biological son?” J

    There were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth and under her nose.Justin and Jason worked together to pull Caroline out, and Adrian immediately tied her legs together before binding her hands behind her back.“Are you going to feed me to the fish, Adrian?”Hearing the sound of the waves and feeling the cold sea breeze, Caroline shivered.She did not stand up and remained lying on the ground.Adrian kicked her several times, venting his pent-up anger.Caroline silently endured it.After kicking her a few times, Adrian squatted, gripping Caroline's chin forcefully with one hand, and said coldly, “Caroline, there’s nothing more to say between us.“Don’t blame us for being heartless. You’re the one who pushed us to this point.“You only have yourself to blame.“Where are the passwords and keys to Mom's private assets? Tell us, and we’ll make it quick for you, so you won’t suffer too much.“If you don’t, we have plenty of time to slowly cut you piece by piece and m

    “We can’t just keep giving them money, now can we?”Adrian replied, “That’s not a priority for now. We can burn that bridge when we come to it. If they do dare blackmail us, we’ll just send them on to meet their maker.“The only thing is they both have families. If we kill them, we have to kill their families too. That way, there’ll be no one who’ll report it to the police.“And it’s best to make it seem like an accident too, or else it’ll seem suspicious.”Justin and Jason both felt Adrian was right. If they were going to kill the Dott brothers, they might as well kill their families too.Caroline internally cursed how merciless they were. The Dott brothers thought they could earn some money from Adrian to live a better life but little did they know, it would bring destruction upon themselves and their families.What the Clark brothers did not know was that the Dotts were forced to say what they did earlier.It was not that they had not left yet. Rather, they could not, because

    Belinda had done everything other mothers would have. She loved them, yet the three of them had gotten a smaller portion of her wealth than their own children did. Indeed, Belinda left her grandchildren with more money.After all, her grandchildren still had a long life ahead of them.Therefore, she distributed more wealth to them. The Clark brothers loved spending lavishly and kept losing money whenever they tried to establish businesses. They also had many mistresses and never hesitated to spend money on them. Belinda was partial toward her sons about their affairs and also persuaded her daughters-in-law not to get a divorce. In truth, she resented her three sons for being promiscuous and inheriting their father’s flirtatious traits. While Hunter may have been interested in other girls, he dared not cheat on Belinda because she was strict. However, he still had an affair the moment he spotted an opportunity.Later, Belinda chased the Clark brothers’ mistresses out of

    Celine, whom they had cared for all long, was not their biological sister but the daughter of the previous butler. Celine’s father was ambitious. He tried making his daughter the Fisher family’s successor. Justin was speechless.“Free me, Jason. I’m already in your hands. Are you still scared that I’ll escape? Let me out. It’s too stuffy in the sack. I feel terrible.”Caroline made a request. Jason seemed to be the one with some lingering feelings for his sibling. Well, that was not really the case.If he truly had even a sliver of sibling love for Caroline, he would have stopped Adrian and Justin from kidnapping her instead of joining the plan. If Caroline had been fortunate, she could have had five brothers doting on her. Sadly, she was unlucky. None of the five brothers had cared for her. They all wanted her dead. Was she a failure as a person, or were they too cruel?Jason said, “Just stay put, Caroline. We’ll let you out when we arrive.”They could not release Car

    Caroline could not beat them. Then, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her head was covered with a sack. Someone forced her into a car. She heard Adrian saying to his brothers, “Let’s go.“Tell Celine’s brothers to follow us. Assign a few people to clean up and leave quickly.”After that, Caroline heard the sound of an engine starting. The car moved. She could not see what was happening. While she was shoved into the backseat, her arms and legs were unbound. She removed the cloth from her mouth but not the sack from her head.Someone held the sack tightly and started hitting and kicking her. “Tie the sack, Justin,” said Jason in a hurry. The person beating her up was Justin. “I know it’s you guys, Justin and Jason. What are you doing? Let me go. Mmph…”Caroline grunted in pain. She suffered a punch from Justin. She held her head tightly to prevent any injury to it. Many blows landed on her body. “It’s fine even if you know it’s us, Caroline. You better stay

    “Ms. Caroline.”The bodyguards looked toward Caroline. Caroline opened her eyes and said calmly, “Stop the car, but don’t get out. Only get out when the situation gets out of hand. Remember to protect yourselves.”“Ms. Caroline…”“I’ll keep myself safe. Don’t worry. I treasure my life. There’s still a long life ahead of me. I haven’t even started enjoying good days. I won’t want to die.”Caroline chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. There was sorrow in those eyes. In the end, she and her brothers could not coexist. It made her realize how bad her luck was with families. She was switched at birth and mistreated by her adoptive family. She thought her biological parents would treat her well after returning to them, but it turned out to be the opposite. Caroline had many family members, yet somehow, she was still alone. The people who truly cared about her were Darren, Liberty, and some others. Caroline’s bodyguards knew she had been waiting for that moment.

    The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned and informed Caroline. Caroline remained calm. She said, “Speed up and let them chase us. The road ahead has many curves. A truck will turn over if it goes too fast.”The people in the truck were probably her brothers from the Dott family. She wondered how much money Adrian had given them. Were they planning to drive the truck to chase her and create an accident?Caroline’s driver immediately acted on her orders. The truck behind them accelerated as well. Soon, they arrived at the section of the road with many curves and downhills.Accidents could happen easily if a car drove too quickly at a curve. The truck driver was not ready to give up his life. He decelerated when he saw the curved road ahead. By the time the truck turned, Caroline’s car was gone. The truck driver immediately stepped on the brake. He stopped by the roadside and made a call. He was not one of the Dott brothers but someone else they hired. The driver c

    “They’re my biological brothers and father, Em. Although they had attacked me with their words before, they never hurt me physically.“It’s okay. I have bodyguards with me.”Caroline was letting Emma know that she would still be heading home. After sighing, Emma said, “Be careful. Call the police if something feels off. We didn’t treat you well in the past, Carol, but I saw through your family and came to a realization.“You helped me a lot, and you’re the aunt of my children. I wish you well.”Caroline knew Emma was genuinely concerned about her. Ever since she exposed her brothers’ affairs and took her sisters-in-law’s side, her sisters-in-law, especially Emma, have changed their attitudes toward her. When Adrian and Emma were fighting on the verge of divorcing, Caroline stood by Emma unwaveringly. She had also assisted Emma in many instances. Although Emma had left the Fisher family, she would always be Caroline's sister-in-law. “I will be careful and live well, Em.

    Since it would be a sleepless night, drinking some coffee could help them stay awake. At eleven o’clock, Caroline and her bodyguards left the cafe. She sensed some people had been following her the entire night. The bodyguards had also noticed it, but Caroline prevented them from alarming those people and let them continue following her. It would be none other than Adrian’s people anyway. Adrian, Justin, and Jason had finished their tasks early and got off work on time. They had the entire night to themselves as they did not have to work or attend events. After Caroline got in her car, she suddenly received a call from Emma. She picked up the call. “Hi, Emma.”“You can call me comfortably, Carol. I’m not your sister-in-law anymore.”Caroline immediately switched to Emma’s nickname. “Why aren’t you asleep but calling me at this hour, Em? I hope my nieces and nephews are obedient.
