Serenity chuckled and remarked, “I heard Granddad and Grandmom are doing well in the hospital—eating well, sleeping well, and coming down pretty hard on me too. They don’t seem to think they’re in the wrong. Are you sure they want to apologize to me p>
Mike instinctively wanted to defend his grandparents, but he found himself at a loss for words.
Grandmom and Granddad had not genuinely acknowledged their faults; rather, the Hunt family had persuaded them to do so. The family aimed to move past the situation before it escalated further.
With reconciliation between both parties, public interest would soon diminish, and people would shift their focus to the latest trending news. It wouldn’t be long before netizens forgot about the Hunts, allowing the family to regain their peace.
If there was one lesson the Hunts learned, it was that the internet could be a powerful double-edged sword. While it can be a tool for attack, those who misuse it often face severe repercussions when their actions backfire.
Serenity pointed them toward the door, firmly refusing to engage any further.
The Hunt boys scowled in response.
In a corner, Jasmine and Shawn shot them a warning glance.
After a moment, John said, “Serenity, you should learn to forgive and forget. Don’t burn your bridges.” With that, he turned on his heel and walked out.
Among his peers, John was the brightest in his family and the most accomplished in his town.
Praise and flattery followed him everywhere in his hometown, and with Serenity putting him on the spot, John refused to endure the humiliation.
John harbored resentment toward Serenity, and…
She believed that Serenity had no regard for family. They were cousins, after all! The entire family was close when Serenity’s parents were still alive. However, after the passing of their parents, Serenity and Liberty began to clash with the rest of the family.
Serenity would leap at John if she knew what he was thinking. The Hunts understood better than anyone why Serenity and Liberty had grown distant from them. It took a lot of nerve for him to place the blame on the sisters!
The Hunt brothers and cousins drove away in their cars. Except for Noal, who was too young to have a driver’s license, the others each took their own vehicles, totaling seven cars. Their departure was just as chaotic as their arrival.
The least expensive car among them cost two to three hundred thousand dollars, while John drove a Mercedes Benz valued at over a million.
“They’re unbelievable, Serenity. Don’t rush to make amends. Let them sit in anxiety for days and stew in their mistakes before you even think about reconciliation. Otherwise, they’ll see you as a pushover and believe that a fake apology can erase all the harm they’ve done. They’ll only try to take advantage of you again p>
After reading Serenity’s post on Twitter, Shawn’s heart went out to her. He despised himself for being young and just starting out in the workforce, feeling unable to be the support Serenity needed at that moment.
If he had the influence, status, and sophistication of the York heir, Shawn would make the Hunts’ lives a living hell.
“I won’t forgive them easily. It’s clear they don’t genuinely want peace. They only came looking for me because the online community pressured them. And they must face the consequences of their actions p>
“They would rather die than admit they are wrong, if not for the repercussions in their lives now.” The Hunts never believed they were in the wrong. They thought Serenity should cover the medical expenses now that Old Mrs. Hunt was ill. They expected Serenity to pay for gas and travel costs as they accompanied Old Mrs. Hunt to the city and visited her regularly.
Since Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt lived in Serenity’s family home, it created the illusion that Serenity’s family should be responsible for the elderly couple. In their view, Serenity’s family should be the ones footing the bill for everything. As for the past, the Hunts chose to ignore it.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t believe such people exist if I hadn’t seen and heard it myself. I’m not just referring to one or two individuals; the entire family is strange.” Jasmine had never witnessed anything like it. It was astonishing.
