Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 105

John‘s father, Chris Hunt, said to Mike, “John‘s job is priority. If he loses his job over this…”

Chris stopped short of finishing the sentence, but by the look on his face, Chris was putting the blame

on Mike.

It was Mike‘s idea to turn the media against Liberty and Serenity.

“Uncle Chris, John has been with his company for a long time. His boss won‘t fire him over something

so trivial. I‘ll clarify that John has nothing to do with the whole thing.”

Mike ran a home business, so whatever was going online had no adverse effect on his business.

LLLL

Feeling assured, Chris phoned John and told him to explain his innocence in all of this before

potentially losing his job.

“The girls are too much,” one uncle reproached. “Fine if they didn‘t want to pay. Why did the girls have

to ruin us like this?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Although the Hunts‘ tweet about the ungrateful granddaughters went viral, the post did not spread as

far and wide as they liked. Serenity‘s response, however, received a lot of attention, and the Hunts

began to get

calls from friends and family about it.

Many strangers even called in to give the family a piece of

their minds.

The Hunts had no idea whether Liberty and Serenity were subjected to cyberbullying, but they were

now in the eye of the storm. The public backlash was happening both online and in real life. There were

people who came to the hospital to chew them out. If it were not for the hospital‘s security guards

chasing the people away and threatening to call the cops, the Hunts would probably be in direct contact

with the public‘s fury.

The family might even get rotten eggs thrown at them.

One of Serenity‘s aunts broke her silence. “I wasn‘t in favor when you all decided to do this. Mom and

Dad signed an agreement with the girls over ten years ago that they would owe us nothing. Now that

Mom‘s sick, you‘re all ganging up on the girls to fork out cash.

“It‘s not like Mom and Dad don‘t have us. We all have money. It‘s our responsibility as children to take

care of Mom now that she‘s not at her best. Why did we have to drive Liberty and Serenity up the wall?

Even the worm will turn. Liberty and her sister aren‘t worms. Did you forget about what happened three

years ago? “You‘re well aware of what you did to the girls when their parents passed away. Do you

think you can get them to pay by making up a story online? Think about it. Who‘s

the biggest loser should they retaliate? There are only two of them while we‘re one big group.”

Everybody kept their mouths shut.

The family was one when they were after the money.

Now that everything had backfired, they started blaming each other.

A while later, old Mr. Hunt asked, “What do we do now?”

He regretted giving Serenity a call. It never occurred to him that the brat would record their

conversation.

He continued, “Let‘s see if we can contact Serenity to delete the tweet. It won‘t end well for us if things

get bigger than they already are.

“Mike, get in touch with that brat and tell her to delete the tweet. At worst, they don‘t have to pay for

their grandmother‘s medical treatment.” Old Mr. Hunt believed the fix would be as simple as that.

Mike replied helplessly, “She blocked my number.”

He fell silent for a moment before adding, “I‘ll write another tweet in Grandmom and Granddad‘s names

to apologize to Serenity and Liberty. We could play our cards right and let the girls know that Mom and

Dad admit their wrong and regret their actions. Now that they‘re old and terminally ill, all they want is to

see their granddaughters. Hence, they resorted to such an extreme measure.”

“There‘s no way I‘m going to apologize to them. Sure, we signed the agreement, but that didn‘t mean

I‘m not that grandmother anymore. Shouldn‘t they come to visit me when I‘m sick? Shouldn‘t they pay

for my surgery?” Old Mrs. Hunt refused to budge.

“Just don‘t read the negative comments. It‘s not like the netizens can kill us.”
