Chapter 141


    Serenity chuckled and said, “I heard Granddad and Grandmom are doing well in the hospital; eating


    well, sleeping well, anding down on me pretty hard too. They don‘t seem to think they‘re in the


    wrong. Are you sure they want to apologize to me?”


    Mike wanted to jump to his grandparents‘ defense, but no words came out of his mouth.


    Grandmom and Granddad did not genuinely ept their faults. Instead, the Hunt family persuaded


    them to do so. The family wanted to put everything behind them before things got more out of hand for


    them.


    With both parties‘ reconciliation, the public interest would soon wane and they would be distracted by


    thetest trending news. It would not be long before theizens forgot about the Hunts, and the family


    would have their peace back.


    If there was one thing the Hunts learned, it was that the inte was a powerful force that worked like a


    double edged sword. While the inte could be a tool to attack someone, those who abused it would


    suffer devastating consequences when their actions backfired on them.


    “Now, if there‘s nothing, I‘d like you all to leave. Don‘t crowd my ce and get in the way of my


    business.‘


    Serenity showed them the door, refusing to engage with them any further.


    The Hunt boys scowled.


    Standing in a corner, Jasmine and Shawn gave them a warning look.


    A whileter, John said, “Serenity , you should learn to forgive and forget. Don‘t burn your bridges.”


    Turning on his heel, John walked out.


    John was the brightest among his family members in the same age group. In fact, he was the most


    aplished out of everybody in his town.


    Praise and ttery followed him everywhere back in his hometown. With Serenity putting him in the


    spot, John was not going to stand there and take the humiliation.


    John resented Serenity and believed she had no regard for family. They were cousins, for goodness‘


    sake! The whole family was close when Serenity‘s parents were still around. However, Serenity and


    Liberty started shing with the rest of the family after the passing of their parents.


    Serenity would jump at John‘s throat if she knew what was on his mind.


    The Hunts knew better than anyone else the reason Serenity and Liberty drifted apart from them.


    He sure had the nerve to put the me on the sisters!


    The Hunt brothers and cousins drove away in their cars. Apart from Noal who was too young to get a


    driving license, the rest brought their own vehicle. There were a total of seven cars.


    In the same fashion they came, it was quite a bustle when they left too.


    The cheapest car among them cost two to three hundred thousand dors. John drove a Mercedes


    Benz worth over a million bucks.


    “They‘re unbelievable , Serenity. Don‘t be quick to kiss and make up. Let them sit in dread for days and


    dwell in their undoing before you consider a reconciliation. Otherwise, they‘ll take you for a pushover


    and think that a fake apology could cancel out all the bad they‘ve done to you. They will still try to take


    advantage of you the next time.”


    Having read Serenity‘s post on Twitter , Shawn‘s heart went out to Serenity.


    Shawn hated himself for his being young as he had only entered the workforce and could barely stand


    on his two feet. He was incapable of being shoulder Serenity could lean Oni yet


    If he had the influence, status, and finesse possessed by the heir of the Yorks, Shawn would make the


    Hunts‘ lives


    a living hell.


    “I won‘t patch things up with them so easily. It‘s not like they genuinely want to make peace anyway.


    They only came looking for me because theizens put the heat on them. Not to mention, they must


    live with the repercussions. They‘d rather die than admit they‘re wrong if it weren‘t for the retribution in


    their lives now.”

    The Hunts did not think they were in the wrong the whole time. They believed Serenity should foot the


    medical bill now that Old Mrs. Hunt was sick. They expected Serenity to pay for gas and travel


    expenses as they apanied Old Mrs. Hunt all the way to the city and visited her too.


    Since Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt upied Serenity‘s family home, it gave an illusion to the Hunts that


    Serenity‘s family should be responsible for the old folks. Serenity‘s family should be the ones paying for


    everything.


    As for whatever happened in the past, the Hunts chose to forget about it.


    “Honestly, I wouldn‘t believe such people exist in the world if I hadn‘t seen and heard it with my own


    eyes and ears. I‘m not just talking about one or two. The entire family is bizarre.”


    Jasmine had never seen anything like it. It was mind blowing:
