Chapter 873
Chapter 874
The Hunts treated the sisters more like adversaries than family.
“Here you are, my dear grandson-in-law. Hurry up and address your wife’s behavior. Serenity lacks manners. Without her parents’ tough love, she hasn’t learned to show respect. I’m sure your family values social graces, especially since you’re an heir. You should consider divorcing that uncultured girl.
“You’d better keep her on a tight leash if you want to stay with her. Discipline her if she refuses to listen. You need to force her into submission. Her grandmother was once defiant, but I made sure to discipline her daily until she obeyed me completely.
“Serenity soaked my clothes. Perhaps you could give me some money for a change of wardrobe p>
The stoic demeanor of Zachary sent chills down Old Mr. Hunt’s spine. Nevertheless, Old Mr. Hunt steeled himself to express his opinions without shame.
Jasmine felt an urge to strike the old man.
A grandfather like Old Mr. Hunt was truly rare.
She had strong reasons to doubt that Serenity’s father was one of Old Mr. Hunt’s own.
Fuming, Serenity carried the buckets into the bathroom and refilled them with water.
With Serenity lifting another bucket, was Old Mr. Hunt about to face another splash?
Old Mr. Hunt had only been caught off guard by Serenity’s water strike the first time; he had learned to be cautious.
He attempted to shield himself behind Zachary.
“Seren, the bucket is heavy. Let me help p>
Zachary, who had been aloof just moments before, stepped forward to carry the bucket for Serenity. He even kindly said, “Don’t strain yourself with the heavy lifting. Just say the word, and I’ll do whatever you need p>
Old Mr. Hunt was left speechless.
Turning on his heel, Old Mr. Hunt made a hasty retreat.
Zachary emerged with a bucket of water in hand.
Nimble as a deer, Old Mr. Hunt jumped into John’s car. John’s luxurious vehicle promised a comfortable ride, and it was his preferred choice for trips. The car enhanced his appearance as well.
His grandson’s success reflected positively on Old Mr. Hunt as a grandfather. Sure, his granddaughter had married into a wealthy family, but she had done nothing to make him proud. In fact, both she and her husband were a source of disappointment for him. Serenity and her sister were nothing but burdens!
When Serenity was born, Old Mr. Hunt had privately told the midwife that if it was a girl, she could drown the baby in the chamber pot. After all, this would allow his daughter-in-law, Lisa, to focus on giving his son a son. However, his son Scott vehemently opposed this idea and had a fit.
Scott declared he would never abandon his own flesh and blood, regardless of whether it was a son or a daughter. Old Mr. Hunt was furious; all he wanted was to help Scott continue the family name.
At that time, the government was offering generous benefits to parents, although these perks were limited to a maximum of two children. With Scott already having two daughters, he could neither afford nor have room for a son.
As Old Mr. Hunt suspected, Serenity turned out to be a girl. Although Scott and his wife loved their daughter, Old Mr. Hunt viewed daughters as liabilities. Serenity was now achieving great success, yet she had disowned her grandfather and even turned against him!
Old Mr. Hunt often thought that perhaps he should have let Serenity drown in the chamber pot over twenty years ago. Now that she was grown, she was giving him a hard time.
