This reflects the mindset of the older generation. They believed that inheritance should remain within the family, passed down to sons and grandsons, as daughters were expected to marry into different families.
For families without a direct heir to inherit their assets, local townspeople often eyed the property.
The intention was to keep the wealth within the community.
Many were reluctant to leave their hard-earned resources to individuals who did not share the family name, prompting them to seek a son to carry on the lineage.
“Are you referring to John Hunt by any chance p>
John’s name was familiar; he had once served as a senior executive at one of the Stones’ subsidiaries, earning a million dollars annually.
Considering John’s substantial income from the Stones, his tendency to manipulate her nieces, and his attempts to claim her sister’s property, Mrs. Stone did not have a favorable impression of him.
She needed Clive to take decisive action against John, ensuring that he wouldn’t even be able to make a living begging on the streets.
“That’s correct. My grandparents absolutely adore him since he is the most promising of all the grandchildren. They even designated him as the adopted son of my parents, granting him rights to my parents’ assets.
“My sister and I plan to reclaim our parents’ home after New Year’s. I would prefer to sell the property rather than hand it over to them p>
This would lead to yet another lawsuit.
Although the New Year was approaching, Serenity had not taken any action yet due to her sister’s recent divorce.
The property left by her parents was built in the early 90s. While the house itself held little value, the land was significant, as it spanned several hundred square yards.
During their lifetime, her parents purchased additional land, expanding their yard.
residential land. Mom once told her and Liberty that the land could be divided into two parcels for them to build houses when they grew up and became independent. This way, the sisters could remain close to support and care for one another.
“That’s absurd! My sister’s property should go to her daughter, not her nephew. Don’t worry, Seren. I’ll help you reclaim your parents’ home p>
“Do you have the title deed to the property p>
“All we have is a land use permit, which my sister has. She was clever enough to take the permit when we were forced out of the house p>
Serenity was only ten at the time, so that was the least of her concerns. She was overwhelmed by the sudden loss of her parents and spent her days crying. Thankfully, her sister was there to support her.
Due to trending news on Twitter, Mrs. Stone became aware of the conflict between the sisters and the rest of the Hunts. Nevertheless, her heart ached for the girls as Serenity recounted their past.
A fifteen-year-old and a ten-year-old had no means to secure their parents’ insurance payout and assets against greedy relatives. They were forced to navigate the world relying solely on each other.
Mrs. Stone learned from her daughter that Serenity had married hastily. Apparently, she took that step to instill confidence in her sister and facilitate her move out of Liberty’s place.
While others might not understand Serenity’s decision, Mrs. Stone could. The sisters had relied on each other for over a decade, and as the older sister, Liberty felt responsible for looking out for Serenity. Even though Serenity was an adult and financially capable of renting her own place, Liberty felt uneasy about it. Her mind would only be at ease if her sister remained nearby.
by her side.
The only way Liberty could find peace of mind was if her sister married someone capable of taking over Liberty’s job. This was the true reason behind Serenity’s sudden decision to marry. Understanding Serenity’s drastic choice to marry in order to move out of her sister’s home requires considering the strong bond the sisters had developed over the years.
“It makes things easier that you have proof in hand,” Mrs. Stone said, gently patting Serenity’s hand. “Don’t worry, I will seek justice for you p>
“Aunt Audrey, my sister and I can reclaim our parents’ house.” Her grandparents did not possess full rights to her parents’ estate; in essence, they could not take over the entire property.
Initially, the sisters had planned to wait until their grandparents passed away before attempting to reclaim the house. Serenity never imagined that her unreasonable relatives would try to instigate a conflict. She realized it was time to expedite the legal battle.
