Serenity‘s youngest cousin was only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was the age whereby impulse and hot–bloodedness reigned supreme.
He had a horrible temper too. When Serenity refused to go to the hospital or delete the post, he got angry and threatened to smash her bookstore.
Serenity looked at him coldly. “Don‘t you dare!”
Her eyes were stern and cold, and her icy words carried a domineering aura that made the Hunt brothers shrink for no reason.
“Noah.” Mike turned his head to glare at the youngest cousin. When the latter did not dare to speak up anymore, he looked at Serenity and smiled. “Serenity, don‘t be mad at Noah. That‘s just the way he talks.
“Like what John said earlier, we‘re still cousins with close blood relations. No matter what, we‘re family. Will you benefit by humiliating us? We were wrong in this matter, so we apologize to you. Let bygones be bygones, okay?
“You don‘t need to pay any money. We only ask that you go visit Grandmom. She really wants to see you. These days, Grandmom and Granddad have been blaming themselves for doing so many heartless things to you before. They said that they had let your parents down,
“Serenity, we‘re not saints, so we all make mistakes. The important thing is that we acknowledge our mistakes. Our grandparents are old and know they were at fault. Just give them the chance to correct their mistakes and apologize to you.”
Only when they pulled out the emotion card and both sides made up would Serenity delete the post and end the matter.
Even if they wanted money, they could not ask for it now and could only give up.
In fact, they all regretted it.
If they had known that Serenity was so tough and fierce enough to air the family‘s dirty laundry in retaliation, they would have never have used this trick. They ended up being dealt a heavy blow.
They were of the opinion that the Hunt sisters cared about their reputation, and that no one would come to the sisters‘ aid. However, they never imagined that so many people would help Serenity and Liberty when the situation was reversed. Instead, they became the ones who were beaten up like dogs.
With their family conditions and their income, each of them only needed to chip in a little to cover for their grandmother‘s medical expenses. Even if they did not, their grandparents had hundreds of thousands in savings, whidi was enough to pay the medical bills.
They simply did not want to spend their own money and wanted to make the Hunt sisters pay instead.
In the end… the losses outweighed the gains.
Actually, no; they did not gain anything at all except for a face full of dust.
They had no choice but to go to Serenity in person, apologize to her, and beg her to let them go.
Even if they hated her so much that their teeth ached, they could only find a way to retaliate after this matter was over.
On the surface, they had to act as if they were trying to make peace with her.
Serenity chuckled and said, “I heard Granddad and Grandmom are doing well in the hospital; eating well, sleeping well, and coming down on me pretty hard too. They don‘t seem to think they‘re in the wrong. Are you sure they want to apologize to me?”
Mike wanted to jump to his grandparents‘ defense, but no words came out of his mouth.
Grandmom and Granddad did not genuinely accept their faults. Instead, the Hunt family persuaded them to do so. The family wanted to put everything behind them before things got more out of hand for them.
With both parties‘ reconciliation, the public interest would soon wane and they would be distracted by the latest trending news. It would not be long before the netizens forgot about the Hunts, and the family would have their peace back.
If there was one thing the Hunts learned, it was that the internet was a powerful force that worked like a double edged sword.
While the internet could be a tool to attack someone, those who abused it would suffer devastating consequences when their actions backfired on them.
“Now, if there‘s nothing, I‘d like you all to leave. Don‘t crowd my place and get in the way of my business.‘
Serenity showed them the door, refusing to engage with them any further.
The Hunt boys scowled.
Standing in a corner, Jasmine and Shawn gave them a warning look.
A while later, John said, “Serenity , you should learn to forgive and forget. Don‘t burn your bridges.” Turning on his heel, John walked out.
John was the brightest among his family members in the same age group. In fact, he was the most accomplished out of everybody in his town.
Praise and flattery followed him everywhere back in his hometown. With Serenity putting him in the spot, John was not going to stand there and take the humiliation.
John resented Serenity and believed she had no regard for family. They were cousins, for goodness‘ sake! The whole family was close when Serenity‘s parents were still around. However, Serenity and Liberty started clashing with the rest of the family after the passing of their parents.
Serenity would jump at John‘s throat if she knew what was on his mind.
The Hunts knew better than anyone else the reason Serenity and Liberty drifted apart from them.
He sure had the nerve to put the blame on the sisters!
The Hunt brothers and cousins drove away in their cars. Apart from Noal who was too young to get a driving license, the rest brought their own vehicle. There were a total of seven cars.
In the same fashion they came, it was quite a bustle when they left too.
The cheapest car among them cost two to three hundred thousand dollars. John drove a Mercedes Benz worth over a million bucks.
“They‘re unbelievable , Serenity. Don‘t be quick to kiss and make up. Let them sit in dread for days and dwell in their undoing before you consider a reconciliation. Otherwise, they‘ll take you for a pushover and think that a fake apology could cancel out all the bad they‘ve done to you. They will still try to take advantage of you the next time.”
