Chapter 139
Married at First Sight
âHowever, after being morally blackmailed by you guys who deliberately distorted the truth and being labeled as someone whoâs unfilial, I decided not to visit her anymore. I wonât give her any money either.
All of you have scolded me online, but now you want me to walk up to her just to get another scolding?â
âSerenity, theyâre our grandparents. You wonât die from a little scolding by them. Although youâre not obligated to support them, anyone with a conscience would give them some living expenses. Itâs been so many years, but your sister and you have never gone back to visit them or give them money for maintenance. Well, if youâre still able to sleep at night, then we wonât say anything about âWe have already deleted our blog post, so you should delete yours too. Do you know what impact your post had on all of us? We can sue you for cyberbullying. However, since weâre cousins, we had decided to negotiate with you privately. Thereâs no need to bring this matter into court.â
The one who spoke was John, the most promising person in that generation of the Hunt family. He spoke with superiority and arrogance with his tone pompous and self â righteous, as if lecturing Serenity.
Through what he said, he was still accusing Serenity and Liberty of not being filial to their grandparents because they did not pay them living expenses or a visit.
However, he conveniently ignored the agreement the seniors had signed stating that Serenity and Liberty did not have to support them through life nor attend their funeral.
Serenity sneered. âGo ahead and sue me. Iâll wait for the court summons. Also, Iâm cyberbullying you?
Werenât you the ones who cyberbullied Liberty and I? What, youâre allowed to bully us, but weâre not allowed to clarify the facts? I didnât hire people to purposefully mislead public scrutiny either. The netizens doxed you guys because they couldnât stand you.
âYeah, weâre unfilial and didnât give our grandparents any living expenses . However, may I ask how much do you give to them per month, Mr. Hunt? How many times do you go back to visit them?
âSome people really canât be expected to have a conscience. Do you remember how Liberty and I got kicked out of the house back then? And how was our house forcefully seized by others? You were the one who benefited the most. They named you an adopted son of my parents! Ptui!
âYouâve gotten so used to living off someone elseâs fortune, and you havenât had enough? John Hunt, let me tell you, Iâm never deleting that post. Sue me if you dare. Iâll even invite the media to broadcast our lawsuit live!
âThe estate is under my parentsâ name, so I can use the lawsuit to make that clear. Donât tell me that youâre my parentsâ adopted son. My parents had no son when they died. Your adoption was just an excuse to occupy the property left by my parents.â
John went pale.
He had no way to refute.
Thinking of how he had been suspended from his job and would most likely lose the position he had struggled years to get, he suppressed his anger, softened his expression , and said gently, âSerenity, I was wrong. Be the bigger person and donât hold it against us.
âGrandmomâs condition is critical now. No matter what mistakes she had made in the past, sheâs still our grandmother. Since sheâs old and ill, just forgive her and come with us to the hospital to visit her.â
The Hunt familyâs plan was to let Serenity visit her grandmother in the hospital to ease both sideâs animosity. Furthermore, it would send the message to the public that they had reconciled, so the public would stop throwing eggs at the family.
All of them had been affected by this incident, Being scolded by the netizens was a trivial matter, However, it had ended up affecting their work and business as well.
The two elderly were still stubborn and refused to bow down. However, when they heard that their children and grandchildrenâs jobs were affected, they felt sorry for them. That was the only reason they agreed to let their grandchildren find Serenity to negotiate.
They knew that Liberty was just a housewife now, and this matter was mainly handled by Serenity, so they went straight to Serenity and did not bother Liberty.
âI heard that youâre married. If your husband is free, bring him along to the hospital so Grandmom can meet him and test him. Donât end up like your sister.â
From what she just heard, Serenity realized that her cousins had figured out her and Libertyâs situation.
They were rather capable.
âSave your breath, John. If she doesnât go, just smash up her store!â
