Seeing Serenity immediately transfering the money to his daughter-in-law, Mr. Brown breathed a small sigh of relief.
The money was given to his daughter-in-law and would be used for his grandson, not for an outsider.
If the money had gone to his son, it would have gone back to his daughter‘s pocket.
When they left the Reptons‘ residence, Rowan insisted on taking Zachary‘s car.
In the car, he said to Serenity, “Serenity, why didn‘t you call me when you all came over to fight yesterday? I was the only one excluded.”
Serenity turned her head and looked at her youngest brother–in–law, saying, “You‘re still a minor. We have to protect minors.”
“Actually, both Matthew and I are minors. If we fight, it‘ll just be two minors fighting.”
“We didn‘t have to do anything. Let his own father teach him a lesson. Didn‘t you hear what his amazing mother said? She wanted us to compensate her. She had no way to claim from us solely because he was beaten by his father instead of us.”
“Nana said I‘d just be an accessory even if I went.”
He pouted. “Maybe I really am just an accessory.”
Zachary asked in a low voice, “What else do you want?”
Rowan immediately shut his mouth.
In reality, they came over today to support their sister-in-law.
The negotiations were fully managed by Serenity while Zachary did not interfere.
Since Serenity was Sonny‘s aunt, she was more qualified to seek justice for Sonny than any of them.
Serenity saw Rowan being frightened by her husband and spoke up for him. “Zachary, don’t scare Rowan. He has good intentions.”
“Yeah, Zachary only knows how to scare me. Serenity, you don’t know this, but he’s even stricter than my dad. Every time he sees me at home, he sends me a big box of workbooks and makes me solve problems endlessly. He just can‘t see me idling around.”
Since the first time Rowan met Serenity, he firmly clung onto her and was convinced that his eldest brother would be wrapped around her fingers in the future.
It turned out that he had a good eye. He was spot on!
Now, Zachary was treating Serenity more favorably as time passed.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Study well so you can get into a good university.
“Your academic performance is the worst out of the nine of us,” Zachary added coldly.
Rowan paused. “I’m only shy of skipping grades like all of you did. Besides that, I’ve always ranked among the top ten. There won’t be a problem for me to get into a good university later on.”
Among the nine brothers, eight of them were top students while he was the only underachiever.
However, an “underachiever” like him was actually a top student in the eyes of other students parents.
It was truly exasperating!
Rowan was reminded of ever since he started high school, all eight brothers of his would send him workbooks and mock exam papers to practice non–stop whenever they returned to the old residence. He wanted to run away from home then.
No, he just did not want all eight of his brothers to come back to the old residence.
The old residence did not welcome them!
Serenity was stunned. “Rowan, did all your brothers skip grades?”
“Yeah, all of them skipped a few grades. I’m the only one advancing one step at a time.”
Serenity was speechless.
She wanted to have Zachary’s babies. They were guaranteed to be top students too!
Serenity was shocked. She remembered how desperately she studied back in high school to be accepted into a reputable university.
However, Zachary and his brothers could easily get into a good university and even skipped a few grades.
“Serenity, don’t look like you’ve been hit to the point of doubting your existence. The person who’s been hit the hardest is me.”
Serenity thought about it and agreed. Rowan was the most pitiful one here. She laughed and said, “Don’t be discouraged, Rowan. I believe you can also get into a good university. You can do it!”
“I have to get into the same university that my brothers went to. If I fail, I’ll… retake the exam.”
He wanted to say that if he failed, he would slap himself twice. However, after thinking about it, it was better not to put his foot in his mouth, so he changed his mind.
Zachary turned to glance at his brother before returning to focusing on driving. “If you fail, don’t say that you’re my brother.”
Rowan was speechless.
“Zachary, don’t give Rowan too much pressure.
“The boy likes to play games and isn’t worried about his studies at all. He needs some
pressure.”
Rowan paused before saying, “Not everyone is as disciplined as you, Zack.”
He was self–disciplined to the point that if it were not for Nana worrying, he probably would not get a wife for the rest of his life.
Zachary snorted coldly.
Rowan did not dare speak again.
Beep beep
Zachary’s phone received a new message.
He slowed down slightly and checked it.
It was from Mrs. Lane.
Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Stone is coming over with Ms. Stone. Don’t come upstairs when you send the Missus back]
He deleted the message after reading it.
Elisa and her mother were moving quickly indeed.
He continued to drive as if nothing had happened.
A few moments later, he sent a message to Josh. “Call me once every ten minutes.”
Josh was puzzled upon receiving this message, but he caught on after thinking about it.
After the group exited the expressway, Callum stopped the car and said to Zachary and Serenity, “We‘ll split ways here.”
“Sure.”
“Thank you, Callum.”
Serenity thanked him graciously.
Callum smiled and said, “We‘re family, Serenity. Don‘t mind the courtesy. Just tell us if you need to use us brothers in the future.”
Serenity exceptionally liked this kind of family and their style.
All the brothers, nephews, and uncles had a good relationship. No matter who was in trouble, as long as someone called for help, the brothers would go to their rescue.
Grandma May said before that she would not introduce a bad man to Serenity.
The old woman got out of the car and exchanged places with Rowan.
Rowan reluctantly went into his second brother‘s car. He wanted to follow his grandmother to live in Zachary‘s small home. They must be very happy every day with Serenity around.
When would Zachary bring Serenity back to the old residence and reveal his identity?
He would love to live with his sister–in–law protecting him. Even if the sky fell, his sister–in law would hold it up.
“Seren, you didn‘t sleep well last night. Why don‘t you go home first to rest?”
Grandma May felt heartbroken seeing the dark circles under Serenity‘s eyes. “Your sister and Sonny need to rest too. Cecilia is there to take care of them, so don‘t you worry.”
Zachary received the information from Mrs. Lane and so did Grandma May.
Audrey was well aware of who Grandma May was.
Back then, Grandma May tried to poach Audrey from Stone Corporation. Later, when she learned that Audrey became lovers with the successor of the Stone family, she lamented for a long time that she acted wee bit too late.
