Chapter 266
Serenity was a very reasonable individual who showed great respect for her elders. However, her respect was contingent upon whether those elders truly acted in a manner befitting their age.
“Serenity, were those people you encountered earlier your relatives? Are they causing you trouble again? Are they still pressuring you to pay for your grandmother’s medical bills? Those people are utterly shameless! They drive their own cars and live in villas, yet they have millions in savings but refuse to cover their own mother’s medical expenses, attempting instead to coerce their orphaned niece into paying p>
“I’ve encountered shameless individuals before, but none as brazen as they are. I feel like my perspective has expanded p>
“Exactly! Serenity’s parents passed away in an accident, and the life insurance payout was divided among them. Fifteen years ago, six hundred thousand dollars was a significant amount! The comfortable lives they lead now are built on the life insurance money from Serenity’s parents! And still, they try to bully her after taking full advantage of her p>
“Serenity, you are far too kind. When faced with such shameless individuals, the moment they arrive, you should simply sweep them out with your broom! There’s no need to exchange more words with them. They will never acknowledge their wrongdoings; they will always believe they are right and others are in the wrong p>
“Serenity, the next time they attempt to bully you or pressure you into paying your grandmother’s medical bills, just call us! We will all come over to help you chase those heartless, shameless individuals away p>
All of her neighbors were aware of Serenity’s struggles with her relatives. Even if they had witnessed Serenity chasing her elders with a broom, they did not think she had acted inappropriately and instead believed she was a
Perhaps a bit too kind. If they had been in her position, they would have adopted a few dogs. If that group of trash dared to confront them, they would have simply unleashed the dogs on them. Engaging in even a casual conversation with that bunch felt like a waste of energy.
Serenity said bitterly, “They are still my dad’s siblings, after all. I was just so angry that I had to chase them away p>
“That’s how it should be. Yes, they are your father’s siblings, but they are also heartless! Normal people wouldn’t be capable of the abhorrent things they did! Serenity, you shouldn’t feel guilty. You did the right thing, and we support you p>
Serenity expressed her gratitude to everyone for understanding her and for not believing she had overreacted.
Once the crowd dispersed, Serenity returned to her shop, broom in hand.
Zachary regarded her solemnly with his dark eyes. Every time she encountered trouble, she never allowed him the opportunity to assist her.
She moved too quickly. The moment she grabbed the broom, she sprang into action and managed to chase them away in the blink of an eye. She even wore a pained expression to ensure the onlookers were completely on her side, helping her condemn those trashy relatives.
He was a hero without a battlefield.
Serenity placed the broom back in its original spot.
“They ran off too fast; otherwise, I would have beaten them to a pulp!” she said as she approached Zachary.
Stopping in front of him, she looked him in the eye and said gratefully, “Mr. York, thank you for helping me shock my aunts and the others to the point that they only dared to use their words. You made them afraid to lay a hand on me p>
Zachary played the leading role in the first act, serving as the shock factor, while she took charge in the second.
She acted and drove those people away. Serenity believed it was her rightful duty to clear the trash. Zachary remained silent for a moment before saying, “Serenity, you should allow me the opportunity to contribute in the future. Otherwise, people might think you married a useless man, and that reflects poorly on you as well.” Serenity was left speechless.
