“However, after being morally blackmailed by you, who deliberately distorted the truth and labeled me as unfilial, I’ve decided not to visit her anymore. I won’t provide her with any money either. You’ve all criticized me online, and now you expect me to approach her just to face more scolding p>
“Serenity, they are our grandparents. A little scolding from them won’t kill you. While you aren’t obligated to support them, anyone with a conscience would offer some living expenses. It’s been years, yet neither you nor your sister have visited them or provided financial assistance. If you can still sleep at night, we won’t press the issue p>
“We’ve already deleted our blog post, so you should delete yours as well. Do you understand the impact your post has had on all of us? We could sue you for cyberbullying. However, since we’re cousins, we’ve decided to address this matter privately rather than take it to court p>
John, the most promising member of the Hunt family’s generation, spoke with an air of superiority and arrogance, as if lecturing Serenity.
Through his words, he continued to accuse Serenity and Liberty of being unfilial for not providing their grandparents with living expenses or visiting them.
Yet, he conveniently overlooked the agreement signed by the seniors, which stated that Serenity and Liberty were not obligated to support them financially or attend their funeral.
Serenity scoffed. “Go ahead and sue me. I’ll be waiting for the court summons. And I’m the one cyberbullying you? Wasn’t it you who cyberbullied Liberty and me? You can bully us, but we can’t clarify the truth? I didn’t hire anyone to mislead public opinion either. The
Netizens exposed your identities because they couldn’t tolerate you.
“Indeed, we are ungrateful and haven’t provided our grandparents with any financial support. But may I ask, Mr. Hunt, how much do you contribute to them each month? How often do you visit them p>
“Some individuals simply lack a conscience. Do you recall how Liberty and I were kicked out of our home? Or how our house was forcibly taken from us? You were the one who gained the most from that situation. They named you my parents’ adopted son! How ridiculous p>
“You’ve grown accustomed to living off someone else’s wealth, and you still want more? John Hunt, let me make it clear: I will never delete that post. Go ahead and sue me if you dare. I’ll even invite the media to cover our lawsuit live p>
“The estate is in my parents’ name, which means I can use the lawsuit to clarify that. Don’t try to convince me that you’re my parents’ adopted son. My parents had no son when they passed away. Your adoption was merely a pretext to claim the property left by my parents p>
John turned pale, left without a way to respond.
Considering that he had been suspended from his job and was likely to lose the position he had fought for years to achieve, he suppressed his anger, softened his expression, and said gently, “Serenity, I was wrong. Please, be the bigger person and don’t hold this against us p>
“Grandmother’s condition is critical now. Regardless of her past mistakes, she is still our grandmother. Given her age and illness, can you forgive her and accompany us to the hospital to visit her p>
The Hunt family’s strategy was to have Serenity visit her grandmother in the hospital to alleviate the tension between both parties. Additionally, it would convey to the public that they had reconciled, hoping to put an end to the backlash against the family.
They had all been affected by this incident.
Being criticized by netizens was a minor issue; however, it ultimately impacted their work and business as well. The two elderly individuals remained stubborn and refused to relent. Nevertheless, when they learned that their children and grandchildren’s jobs were affected, they felt remorseful. This concern prompted them to agree to let their grandchildren reach out to Serenity for negotiations.
Understanding that Liberty was now just a housewife and that Serenity primarily handled this matter, they chose to approach Serenity directly without involving Liberty.
“I heard you’re married. If your husband is available, bring him to the hospital so Grandmom can meet him and assess him. We don’t want a repeat of what happened with your sister p>
From this conversation, Serenity realized that her cousins had figured out the situation regarding her and Liberty, which indicated their capability.
“Stop wasting your breath, John. If she refuses to cooperate, just vandalize her store p>
