Chapter 1220

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?” Jasmine asked with concern as she

took a seat.

“Yeah. The DNA test I did with my granddad showed that we’re related by blood. After I took the report

and showed it to John and the others, they finally behaved and stopped fussing.

“We’ve resolved the matter through a negotiation.”

Serenity picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth. “These grapes are so sweet.”

Jasmine saw that Serenity was in a happy mood and smiled. “It’s great that you’ve settled it. You don’t

have to get involved with them in the future.”

“We’ll be going back tomorrow to sign a new agreement with them. I’ll give them the money after they

transfer the title deed of the house to my sister.”

“Did you buy their share of the land?”

Serenity hummed. “Yeah, the solution they came up with was either we buy their share, or they buy

ours. My grandparents don’t have much money left, so it’ll cost a lot if they want to buy our share.

“He has a bunch of sons and grandchildren, but none of them are willing to pay. He was so angry that

he told us to buy his share instead, and they’d keep the money for their retirement. They’ll continue

living in the house, but his children will pay the rent and utilities.

“I didn’t want to split hairs like this, but since they still tried to take advantage of us, I had no choice. It’s

not like my dad was his only son. He has four sons. Even though my dad is gone, he still has three

sons.

“In rural areas, each family will pay for their parents‘ expenses or take turns to live with and care for

them when the elders are still alive. They can’t just live in my house for free, right? That’s why I asked

for compensation. I don’t need the money; I just don’t want to be taken advantage of.”

Jasmine said, “You did the right thing. They only know how to take advantage of others to gain benefits

for themselves, but when it’s time for them to live out their old age, they push the responsibility to your

family instead.”

“John stated he wanted his share of our granddad’s assets but nothing to do with.

Granddad’s retirement. He said that Granddad gave birth to his dad, but not to him, so the

responsibility of taking care of Granddad in his old age had nothing to do with him. The old man was

livid.”

Although Serenity felt that Old Mr. Hunt was getting his just desserts, she did not feel happy or

satisfied. She just felt sorry for her parents.

Her parents were incredibly filial to their parents when they were still alive, but the more filial her dad

was, the less her grandfather liked him. Even after her dad passed away, he was still being bullied by

his own parents.1

Jasmine paused. “Isn’t John your granddad’s favorite? He used to have an annual salary of a million

dollars when he worked in Elisa’s company. Elisa made him lose his job, but he deserves it. A person

like him shouldn’t have a good life.”

“Old Mr. Hunt fought for my family property because he wanted to give everything to John, so John’s

words really pissed him off. That was why he so easily agreed to the solution we proposed.”

Serenity felt the reason her granddad compromised so quickly was largely because he was hurt by his

sons and grandsons‘ attitude.

In any case, the issue with the house was resolved.
