Serenity responded cheerfully, “Alright, it’s settled then p>
Shawn was also pleased.
He eagerly anticipated the arrival of Saturday. Suddenly, several cars pulled up in front of the bookstore. Shawn said, “I’ll go check it out p>
He turned and walked away.
Before long, he returned and informed Serenity, “It’s your relatives p>
Serenity had just finished her meal. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and remarked, “Since they’re here, I suppose I can’t keep being afraid of them p>
She wasn’t surprised that those outrageous individuals had tracked her down.

“Serenity.” The Hunt family brothers entered, led by Mike. Eight of them arrived, all decked out in designer clothing and clutching a set of keys.
They jangled their keys occasionally as if they were made of gold.
However, they appeared quite worn out. It seemed Serenity’s retaliation had taken a toll on them. They were struggling to cope with the backlash from furious netizens.
Serenity didn’t ask about her grandmother’s condition in the hospital. A kind-hearted person had sent her a private message, informing her that her grandmother was not finding peace there. Many people had flocked to the ward to criticize her, aggravating the irritable old woman.
The supposedly devoted sons and grandsons were at the hospital but couldn’t even protect a single patient. How amusing!

Mike took several deep breaths and said gently, “Serenity, we’re a close-knit family and share blood ties. Can you reconsider going that far? Yes, we made mistakes, and we apologize. However, our grandparents are also your grandparents.
“They’re elderly and can’t handle stress. If you’re unwilling to cover Grandmom’s treatment, that’s understandable. There are many of us, so if we each contribute a little, it will cover her medical bills. Still, you should at least visit her in the hospital. Grandmom was heartbroken by what you said about us online. I’ve lost count of how many times she cried over it. It’s detrimental to her health.
“Serenity, if you delete that post, we can consider this matter resolved. Regardless of everything, we’re still family. You wouldn’t be happy if we suffered too p>
After Mike finished speaking, Serenity looked up at him, amused. “Why wouldn’t I be happy? I haven’t fabricated anything or slandered you; I simply stated the facts.
