Chapter 588
With a smile, Serenity said, “Elisa mentioned that Mr. Bucham comes from a family involved in intelligence. If you start dating him, you’ll get firsthand accounts of all sorts of drama. Since you enjoy lively situations, I think he’s perfect for you. You two would make a great match p>
Jasmine was left speechless.
Was she getting a boyfriend to marry or just for gossip?
“You mentioned your sister’s ex-mother-in-law called you again p>
Jasmine quickly shifted the topic.
She didn’t want her best friend gossiping about her.
“My sister divorced that scumbag and moved out, so naturally, they couldn’t wait to move in. However, they can only rent a house, stay in a hotel, or return home now. Knowing their family, I’m sure they will stay in the city for New Year’s instead of going back home p>
The Brown family likely spread the word in their hometown that they would be celebrating New Year’s in the city.
So, even without a house to stay in, they would rent a place.
Serenity wished she could clone herself to have one of her clones observe the Brown family and enjoy the show.
They must have been shocked to see the house renovation demolished p>
Serenity laughed.
“Exactly p>
The Brown family, whom Serenity wanted to observe, had gone to Wiltspoon Hospital to see Old Mr. Hunt.
Old Mrs. Hunt was recovering well from her surgery and would soon be discharged to recuperate at home.
Olivia stormed in with her daughter and son-in-law.
Mr. Brown chose not to join them, opting to stay at the hotel to look after his three grandchildren.
More importantly, he felt too embarrassed to face them.
“Old Mr. Hunt p>
shouted as she burst into the ward. When Old Mr. Hunt noticed her storming into the room with her daughter and son-in-law, he frowned, wondering where his sons and grandsons had gone. There was no one to intervene with this unruly woman.
“My wife is still unwell. Please lower your voice,” he said. Old Mr. Hunt poured a cup of warm water for his wife and set it on the bedside table, calmly asking, “Are you here to visit my wife? Why did you come empty-handed? How old are you? Don’t you understand basic courtesy p>
Olivia marched over, pointing at Old Mr. Hunt while gesturing wildly and cursing. “We’re no longer in-laws. Your granddaughter has divorced Hank. Hurry up and return the money p>
Old Mr. Hunt swatted Olivia’s hand away and replied coldly, “You’re in your fifties now. Didn’t your mother teach you not to point at people while speaking to them? Your lack of family manners suggests your son is no better. It’s no surprise my granddaughter divorced him p>
After reprimanding Olivia, Old Mr. Hunt feigned innocence. “Return the money? What money p>
“Your son didn’t give us a betrothal gift when he married my granddaughter. Now that they’re divorced, even if you want to get back the betrothal gift, you shouldn’t be coming to me,” she replied.
Chelsea added, “My mom gave you sixty thousand to persuade Liberty not to divorce. You accepted the money but failed to fulfill your promise, so shouldn’t you return it? If you don’t give it back, I’ll call the police p>
Old Mr. Hunt countered, “Just because you claim your mother gave me sixty thousand, does that make it true? Is there any record of the transaction? Did anyone witness her giving me the money? That day, your mother came to me and asked me to p>
I tried to convince Liberty not to go through with the divorce. I share the same sentiment, so I asked Serenity to talk to her sister about it. Unfortunately, Serenity was uncooperative and even forced us to leave.
“I did everything I could, but the two sisters wouldn’t listen to me. I’m just their grandfather; what more can I do p>
Old Mr. Hunt was adamant about not returning the money. He would never give back what he had already taken!
