When Zachary took things seriously, a regular person was not his opponent at all.
Stuart Hunt smiled embarrassedly and said, “I heard your surname is York? Mr. York, you might have misheard.”
The other Hunts remained silent.
“I heard you loud and clear. There are security cameras in the shop too. Shall I show you gu the recording?”
David Hunt was the first to react, and he immediately turned to run after his wife and check on her.
“Honey, are you alright?”
Abigail was dragged out by Zachary and was pushed down to the ground without pain, but she looked like a wretch and felt like Zachary had held her face down and rubbed it against the ground “Are you dead? Is this how you act as my husband? You didn‘t even stop him when he dragged me out of the shop! You didn‘t help me either and just watched him bully me, drag me out,
and push me to the ground!”
Abigail immediately pushed her husband away and started yelling at him while pointing at him after he helped her up.
“After bullying my kid, you‘re now bullying me! Is there any reason in this world? God, open your eyes and see. Strike these unfilial and vicious people who are disrespectful to their elders down with thunder!”
David Hunt was the youngest of his brothers and sisters and had always been doted on by his parents and older siblings. And after his wife married him, he was doted on by his wife‘s family too. Although he was the poorest among the Hunts, with his siblings‘ help, he still managed to build his own villa. Abigail had not suffered any sort of hardship since marrying into the Hunt family. She had never suffered such a disgrace before, so when she did, she naturally started scolding them loudly.
She wanted to draw the attention of passers–by and proclaim Serenity‘s evil deeds to the world to show everyone just how arrogant Serenity was to be so unreasonable toward her own aunts and uncles.
David Hunt knew his wife well, having been married for many years.
He hurriedly covered his wife‘s mouth, and growled with quite a bit of exasperation, “What are you yelling for? Did you think Serenity would feel embarrassed if people came to look? Think about what our son has done.
“If we‘re filmed and the video was posted on the internet, we‘d be the ones who‘d be embarrassed! It wasn‘t easy to get off the trending section. Now that we finally have some peace, you want to make a fuss and get onto the trending section again?” The sticking point was Serenity still had someone backing her. David Hunt was very angry too, seeing his wife treated that way by Zachary.
No matter which way you cut it, they were still Serenity‘s elders, and since Zachary was Serenity‘s husband, they were his elders too. They could forgive not being called by their familial titles, but Zachary had dragged his wife out like a dog just because she scolded him a little, and even said he would dirtied his hands doing so! David Hunt was so angry he wanted to fight Zachary
Thinking of the way they had not managed to benefit in any way after getting involved with
Serenity and her sister and how Serenity posted in reply to them on the internet about the reason why she was unfilial, resulting in the sudden change of public opinion turning against them. Even when they hired bots, they were unable to turn the tide.
Following that, the entire family suffered attacks and accusations from the netizens. The few days they trended the highest felt like years to the Hunts, having thoroughly tasted the power of online violence.
Now that they finally had some peace, David Hunt did not want to repeat the experience. In addition, the problem was, they were the unreasonable ones!
Abigail’s curses lowered in volume.
She swiftly rushed into the shop once again like a mad woman.
David Hunt and his siblings hurriedly tried to hold her back and block her, terrified that she would raise her hand against Serenity and her husband on impulse.
Noah Hunt led a group of thugs to block Serenity’s way, but they had not managed to harm even a hair on Serenity’s head–let alone these older people.
Over the years, they would live a pampered life and had fattened up. Even a little movement left them panting with exertion. They really could not afford to start a fight with Serenity and her husband, especially since Serenity knew martial arts.
It was a mystery how Liberty brought up her sister that she let Serenity learn martial arts.
Luckily, they had the foresight to take Serenity’s father’s life insurance payout for safekeeping, or else it might have been thoroughly wasted by Serenity and her sister.
“Serenity, you’d better not go too far! I’m telling you, if you don’t get Noah out of jail and something happens to him in there, you’ll never hear the end of it from me! Don’t assume that I’d be afraid of you just because you have a husband now!”
Abigail yelled while pointing at Serenity.
Zachary finished washing his hands and turned his head. With just a sweep of his sharp, icy gaze over her, Abigail’s curses immediately softened.
She was pretty scared of this cold, taciturn man.
“Serenity.”
Stuart Hunt finally spoke, “No matter what it is, it’s not right to raise your hand against someone. If you ask your husband to apologize to your aunt, as the elders, we won’t hold it‘ against you further.”
“So you do know it’s not right to raise your hand against someone. When Noah led a bunch of thugs, all carrying metal bars, to block my way in the middle of the night and threatened me to leave the car, I was so scared back then. And when I got down, he made a move against me first. If it weren’t for my quick reactions, that metal bar of his would have hit me. How do you think I’d have ended up then?”
The corner of Zachary’s mouth twitched when he heard Serenity say she was so scared then, but there was a hint of laughter in his eyes.
Serenity continued, “He was in the wrong and I was only acting in self–defense. How am I at fault? Now you guys have come here in a big group, at night, to accuse me and verbally abuse me. Do you think you’re justified in doing that?”
Stuart Hunt was rendered speechless. After a moment, he said, “Serenity, we do know that Noah’s in the wrong, but aren’t you fine? You know martial arts, and Noah with his
gang of people couldn’t even beat you. You’re perfectly fine. What’s a little conflict between cousins? Since you’ve fought it out, just let it pass. Why did you have to involve the police?
“Noah’s still a minor. His detainment will greatly affect his future. You’re his cousin. Isn’t it a little too heartless of you to treat your own family like this?”
