“However, after being morally blackmailed by you guys who deliberately distorted the truth and being labeled as someone who‘s unfilial, I decided not to visit her anymore. I won‘t give her any money either. All of you have scolded me online, but now you want me to walk up to her just to get another scolding?”
“Serenity, they‘re our grandparents. You won‘t die from a little scolding by them. Although you‘re not obligated to support them, anyone with a conscience would give them some living expenses. It‘s been so many years, but your sister and you have never gone back to visit them or give them money for maintenance. Well, if you‘re still able to sleep at night, then we won‘t say anything about
“We have already deleted our blog post, so you should delete yours too. Do you know what impact your post had on all of us? We can sue you for cyberbullying. However, since we‘re cousins, we had decided to negotiate with you privately. There‘s no need to bring this matter into
court.”
The one who spoke was John, the most promising person in that generation of the Hunt family. He spoke with superiority and arrogance with his tone pompous and self – righteous, as if lecturing Serenity.
Through what he said, he was still accusing Serenity and Liberty of not being filial to their grandparents because they did not pay them living expenses or a visit.
However, he conveniently ignored the agreement the seniors had signed stating that Serenity and Liberty did not have to support them through life nor attend their funeral.
Serenity sneered. “Go ahead and sue me. I‘ll wait for the court summons. Also, I‘m cyberbullying you? Weren‘t you the ones who cyberbullied Liberty and I? What, you‘re allowed to bully us, but we‘re not
allowed to clarify the facts? I didn‘t hire people to purposefully mislead public scrutiny either. The netizens doxed you guys because they couldn‘t stand you.
“Yeah, we‘re unfilial and didn‘t give our grandparents any living expenses . However, may I ask how much do you give to them per month, Mr. Hunt? How many times do you go back to visit them?
“Some people really can‘t be expected to have a conscience. Do you remember how Liberty and I got kicked out of the house back then? And how was our house forcefully seized by others? You were the one who benefited the most. They named you an adopted son of my parents! Ptui! NôvelDrama.Org content.
“You‘ve gotten so used to living off someone else‘s fortune, and you haven‘t had enough? John Hunt, let me
tell you, I‘m never deleting that post. Sue me if you dare. I‘ll even invite the media to broadcast our lawsuit live!
“The estate is under my parents‘ name, so I can use the lawsuit to make that clear. Don‘t tell me that you‘re my parents‘ adopted son. My parents had no son when they died. Your adoption was just an excuse to occupy the property left by my parents.”
John went pale.
He had no way to refute.
Thinking of how he had been suspended from his job and would most likely lose the position he had struggled years to get, he suppressed his anger, softened his expression , and said gently, “Serenity, I was wrong. Be the bigger person and don‘t hold it against us.
“Grandmom‘s condition is critical now. No matter what mistakes she had made in the past, she‘s still our grandmother. Since she‘s old and ill, just forgive her and come with us to the hospital to visit her.”
The Hunt family‘s plan was to let Serenity visit her grandmother in the hospital to ease both side‘s animosity. Furthermore, it would send the message to the public that they had reconciled, so the public would stop throwing eggs at the family.
All of them had been affected by this incident,
Being scolded by the netizens was a trivial matter,
However, it had ended up affecting their work and business as well.
The two elderly were still stubborn and refused to bow down. However, when they heard that their children and grandchildren‘s jobs were affected, they felt sorry for them. That was the only reason they agreed to let their grandchildren find Serenity to negotiate.
They knew that Liberty was just a housewife now, and this matter was mainly handled by Serenity, so they went straight to Serenity and did not bother Liberty.
“I heard that you‘re married. If your husband is free, bring him along to the hospital so Grandmom can meet him and test him. Don‘t end up like your sister.”
From what she just heard, Serenity realized that her cousins had figured out her and Liberty‘s situation. They were rather capable.
“Save your breath, John. If she doesn‘t go, just smash up her store!”
