With the nurse coming in with yesterday’s charges, Old Mr.Hunt picked it up for a look Scowling, he said, “It hasn’t been a few days, but we’re almost running out of money.” old Mr.Hunt told his children.
“Discuss among yourselves the amount to fork out.
Pool the money and pay the bill tom efore the hospital starts asking for it.” “Dad, have you spent all of your money?” The oldest son of thefamily asked.
Old Mr.Hunt glared at him.
“What? Not happy to pay? Do you think your mom and I can afford to bum through cash like this? How many of you contributed since your momfell sick? Your mom and I raised you and helped you to settle down.
Now that your mom is sick, shouldn’t you pay the medical fees?” The oldest son immediately retorted, “Dad, we’re not saying that we won’tpay, but we don’t know how much it’s going to cost in total.
The hospital stay has been hemorrhaging cash for the past few days.”
Even though they were quite welloff now, their mother’s hospitalization was bleeding them dry.
The oldest son felt the pain at the thought of paying for it.
No wonder people said that it was all right to be poor but never to get sick’lt’s all your fault for not getting those brats to cough out the money.
You wouldn’t have to pay if you could take hold of them.
If anyone’s to be blamed, it’s those brats.
I don’t care how you do it, but the only way you can back out from paying is by getting Serenity to pick up the tab.”.
John had asked a friend to dig up an update on Serenity and found out that Serenity owned a huge bookshopnear Wiltspoon School.
Her business appeared to be doing well.
He heard that Serenity also had an online business which was quite successful too.
Serenity’s monthly income could reach up to tens of thousands as John mentioned.
Liberty, who was most assertive back then, had a tough marriage.
She was a stay-at-home inom now and without a penny to her name.
Old Mr.Hunt believed Liberty should have seen it coming as she had refused to give the relatives a lump sum for family support when she got married.
That was karma.
Now she should sleep in the bed she made.
Silence befell the room.
It was excruciating when it was their turn to pay.
The Hunts may have dropped the idea of making Serenity foot the bill before, but now they were back to cracking their heads for Serenity to bear thecost.
“That reminds me.
Is John still suspended from work? Is it still a big hoo-ha online?” Old Mr.Hunt asked Chris.
The old man did not surf the web, so he had no access to the nasty comments online.
It did not affect him in any way.
A few people came to the hospital and lashed out at the Hunts in the first two days, but the hospital’s security guards chasedthem away.
The Hunts had called the cops, and the angry netizens practiced self-restraint now with the cops involved.
The most harm they did was blasting hate messages online at the family.
Since then, nobody came to the hospital to chew them out.
No matter what, Old Mrs.
Hunt was a patient who just got out of surgery.
The netizens said that the Hunts w e something else.
The netizens might be taken to court by the Hunts should anything har Old Mrs.
Hunt after their tirade.
The netizens would lose a fortune if they had to compensate the family for damages.
The only adverse effect Old Mr. Hunt noticed was inflicted upon his most valued and successful grandson, John. Due tothe Twitter issue, John was suspended by his company. It never occurred to him that Serenity’s retaliation would bring about John’s suspension John was a senior executive in the company, only second to the managing director and deputy managing director.
Following a call from the headquarters, John was placed on an administrative leave.
John’s annual salary was over a million bucks.
“Not yet.
John treated his boss to a meal and found out that the sister of Stone Group’s CEO demanded that John be put on leave without pay and kicked outof the company.
It was a good thing John that is good at what he does and only got a suspension.
The company didn’t fire him, so things could change for the better.” Old Mr.Hunt asked out of concern, “Why is the CEO’s sister out to get John? Don’t tell me the brat found herself an ally?” “Nah.
Ms.Stone is an heiress of the second most influential and wealthiest family in Wiltspoon.
Their family’s worth is close to a hundred billion put together, right beneath the Yorks.
How could she be Serenity’s ally? I heard Ms.Stone messed with John because the viral news took the public’s attentir w from the gossip about her and the heir of the Yorks.” The two trending storieswert unger on Twitter now.
John should be able to return to work when Ms.Stone got over her anger.
“It’s all that brat’s fault for giving us so much pain.
The news is no longer trending on Twitter, right?” “The netizens are still talking about it though.
I still see a lot of hate messages online.” Old Mr.Hunt cussed Serenity out before asking, “Didn’t you say you found some sort of mediator from a TV program to act as a peacemaker? Even if it’s justfor show, it should happen.
Don’t let this little thing affect our children’s careers.” Serenity’s tit-for-tat response jeopardized his children’s and grandchildren’s livelihoods.
They were losing money.
The other day, Old Mr.Hunt told his grandsons to look for Serenity and discuss a reconciliation.
That did not end well.
“Let me ask John.” Chris pulled out his phone to call John Since Old Mrs.
Hunt was still in ICU, not everybody needed to keep watch over her.
Hence, only the older folks remained at the hospital while the grandchildren went about their business.
John quickly picked up his father’s call.
“John, how are things going on with the mediation?” With a grimacing look on his face, John replied, “Dad, I was about to call you.
We can forget about that.
The mediation is not going to happen.
Everything was underway, but those people suddenly said they weren’t going today.
They won’t even tell me the reason.
I’m furious.” As the third-in-command of his company.
John was cocky.
It had been a while since he was outsmarted and this time, he lost to his cousin.
He hated Serenity’s guts, “Can’t we just switch to another TV program?”
“My friend said that no mediator was willing to take up the task No amount of moneycould persuade them.
My friend mentioned that Serenity might have found someone to back her up I can say it’s someonewith power since no mediators dare take the job.” John believed he had extensive connections.
He and Mike were pretty influential back in their hometown.
They were always on top of things However, they were losing ground this time.
John and Mike’s friend had been asking around.
Yet, they could not sniff out the identity of Serenity’s backer.
Perhaps they were just being paranoid.
Or perhaps, Ms.Stone was behind it.
It was said that Ms. Stone was all over Mr. York. She was livid that the Hunts stole her thunderwhen she finally had her name next to Mr. York’s on the trending news.
Ms.Stone did not seem like an heiress as she acted like she had never met a man inher life! It was revolting that Ms.Stone quashed the Hunts time and again just to woo a man.
Despite the Hunts’efforts to stick and work together, there was nothing they could do about Ms.Stone.
After coming to the city and going through all those unpleasant experiences, Old Mr.Hunt realized that the world was bigger than he knew.
He thought his grandson was impressive and amazing, but there were people out there who were ten times better than his grandson, if not more.
“How did that happen? Wasn’t everything agreed upon and underway? Your uncle and I got the script ready to put on a show during the mediation sothe public would know we see the error of our ways, whereas Serenity would be seen as someone holding a grudge for refusing to reconcile.
However, now you’re telling me it’s canceled?” Old Mr.Hunt’s oldest son, Stuart, asked anxiously.
“What did John say? Is the mediator refusing to help?” John mentioned a few more thi t he phone before his father hung up.
Chris turned to Stuart and said, “No mediators are coming forward.
