Chapter 239
In a hotel near Wiltspoon Hospital, Noah Hunt’s parents knocked on the door of their eldest son, Stuart Hunt.
When Stuart opened the door and saw his youngest brother David and his wife looking worried, he asked with concern, “David, what’s wrong? You both look anxious p>
“Stuart, Noah hasn’t returned since he left yesterday. We’re worried that something might have happened to him.” Noah’s father, the youngest of the Hunt siblings, was their parents’ favorite, which is why they named him David, meaning beloved.
“Did Noah mention what he was going to do?” As the eldest of the family, Stuart was skilled at maintaining his composure.
David hesitated for a moment before saying, “Noah mentioned he was going to confront Serenity about Mom’s medical bills, but he hasn’t come back since yesterday, and his phone is turned off p>
Noah’s family was unaware that he was currently being detained at the police station, and his phone had shut down due to a dead battery.
Stuart’s expression darkened immediately as he scolded his brother and sister-in-law, “How could you let Noah confront Serenity alone? She didn’t budge even when the brothers went together last time. How can he expect to make her comply on his own p>
It was only after dealing with his niece that Stuart realized they had all underestimated the two daughters left behind by his third brother. Aside from his oldest niece, Serenity was a significant source of trouble for the family, causing them considerable distress. Not only did they fail to recover any money from her, but their reputations were also tarnished, their children faced job suspensions, and their businesses suffered as a result.
Initially, they had intended to speak with Serenity again, but his two sisters were unavailable, so they had to postpone the meeting.
Everyone managed to free up some time in their schedules over the weekend, so they decided to go find Serenity then. After all, they were still her elders, and perhaps she would show them more respect.
“Noah insisted on confronting Serenity. We couldn’t stop him,” one of them said.
“He’s young and reckless. Mike mentioned that Noah wanted to vandalize Serenity’s store last time. Quick, go to Serenity and see if Noah caused her any trouble,” another replied.
Concerned about their son, David and his wife took Stuart’s advice and started to leave.
“Wait, I’ll come with you,” Stuart said. As the eldest of his generation and Serenity’s uncle, he had a good relationship with his brother and sister-in-law while they were alive. Although he looked down on his sister-in-law for not providing his brother with a son, his brother cherished their two daughters. For his brother’s sake, Stuart treated Serenity well during her childhood. He hoped she might listen to him.
Stuart often claimed to have been good to Serenity when she was young, but that was more a product of his imagination. Despite any kindness he may have shown her in the past, he collaborated with Serenity’s grandparents to divide the insurance payout after his brother and sister-in-law’s deaths, effectively driving away his two underage nieces and monopolizing the family property left by his brother. These actions had completely eroded any affection Serenity once had for her eldest uncle.
“Wait here. I’ll join you after I change my clothes,” Stuart said.
“Should we call Mike and John too?” David suggested, thinking that having more people would provide them with strength in numbers. He would feel more at ease if he included his two most capable nephews.
