Chapter 1023
Serenity sneered, “When my parents just died 16 years ago, we got 1.2 million dollars in compensation. You and Granddad along with your children and grandchildren crowded our house to the point where we didn’t even have a place to stand. “You forced me and my sister to hand over the money, saying that you had a share of it. It’s true that you and Granddad had a share of the money, but how much did you take? “Back then, in order to get more money from my parents’ insurance payout, you stated that Liberty and I don’t need to support you on behalf of our father while you’re alive, and that we don’t need to hold funerals for you when you pass. We don’t need to sustain you in life and bury you in death. It was written in black and white. “Perhaps you’ve destroyed your copy, but the other copy is well-kept by Liberty. I believe the town committee has also kept a copy. The townspeople who were witnesses are still here today. Should we ask them to confront you? “Does the house belong t
Chapter 1024
Now that Serenity and Liberty were capable enough to come back to reclaim their parents’ property, Mrs. Deli fully supported them. “Yeah, it was you who said that they don’t need you to support you while you’re alive or handle your funerals when you pass. You didn’t raise them in the first place, so how could you be so shameless as to ask them for money? Your sons and grandsons benefitted so much. Why don’t you ask them for money instead?“Your whole family made a fortune from taking advantage of their misfortune, yet you’re bullying the orphaned girls. Your family has gone too far, so you should be struck by lightning instead. You’re old now. How many more years can you live? You’re not even afraid of going to the depths of hell after death, never to be reborn.” Even though the people in town opined that married daughters should not return home to fight for their family property, they felt that Old Mrs. Hunt and her people were too much. They could not help but intervene. “They

Mrs. Stone continued, “I came here today not to quarrel with you. I’m just here to accompany my nieces, and I also want to see the place my sister used to live. By the way, there’ll be less trouble if you move out voluntarily. If you don’t, we’ll sue you for the forced occupation of someone’s property. “We’ll get the house back even if we have to go to court. When the time comes, we’ll let the court rule how the property is going to be split! Don’t you dream about occupying what belongs to my nieces. Similarly, they won’t take what doesn’t belong to them.” The people from the Hunts’ hometown exchanged looks. It turned out that Lisa’s sister had found Serenity and Liberty. The Hunts knew that Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt, but of course, they would not spread this news in town. For the Hunts, it was bad for them that Lisa’s sister recognized Serenity and her sister. Was John not a senior executive of a subsidiary of Stone Group? It was said that John had lost his job because
Chapter 1026
It was last year. Old Mrs. Hunt’s little grandson brought a group of people to stop Serenity’s car because she refused to pay for the medical bill. They wanted to teach her a lesson but ended up being badly beaten by her. The little grandson was even sent to the police station to be detained for fifteen days. On the other hand, nothing happened to Serenity. It was Serenity who had beaten them up. However, the people at the police station said that it was justifiable self-defense. Old Mrs. Hunt was heartbroken when she learned that her little grandson was beaten up by Serenity and detained. She hated Serenity terribly. “Mom, let’s wait for Dad to come back.” “Grandmom, stay calm, stay calm.” The others also persuaded Old Mrs. Hunt. They were unreasonable, to begin with. Old Mrs. Hunt was rude and unreasonable, but it was useless against Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Stone, and the rest who had power and status. Mrs. Stone had said that she would go to court for this. Perhaps
Chapter 1027
Old Mrs. Hunt saw that her daughters-in-law and grandchildren were inviting Serenity to their houses. Plus, she had been making a scene for so long, but instead of gaining anything, she became a joke to the people in her hometown. She decided to ease her expression and said, “Liberty, Serenity, your aunt is right. At the end of the day, we’re a family. If anything, let’s sit down and talk. “I don’t want to argue with you anymore. We’ll wait for your granddad and the others to come back so they can talk to you. No matter what, this house is mine.” Serenity sneered, “I don’t want to argue or fight with you as well, Grandmom. Let’s meet in court.” Going to court was to determine their shares of the inheritance. In Audrey’s words, this house was a joint property of her parents after their marriage—half belonged to her mother while the other half to her father. This house covered an area of 1,100 square feet. Half of it belonged to their mother whereas the other half belonged to t

“We won’t be able to win the lawsuit?” Old Mrs. Hunt continued, “This house was built by your Uncle Scott, and I’m his mother, but I still can’t inherit it?” “You can, but you can’t inherit it completely. Just like what I just told you, you can only inherit a quarter of Uncle Scott’s share. It’s the same for Granddad.” Noah was only patiently explaining everything to his grandmom because he was afraid she would clash with Serenity again. “I don’t care. In any case, your granddad and I live in this house. It belongs to us, and we can give it to whomever we want. Am I going to be arrested if we lose the lawsuit?” Noah scared his grandmom, “If the law is enforced, you and Granddad will be evicted from the house. If you cause trouble, you’ll be arrested and given free meals like how I was detained last time. Grandmom, it’s scary to be detained. It’s better not to break the law.” He was traumatized after being detained for fifteen days. He did not have the guts to do anything ha
Chapter 1029
Thinking about the past, it was hard for not only Serenity and her sister, but also Mrs. Stone and Elisa. Mrs. Stones’ eyes had long been teary. Perhaps everything could have changed if she had found her sister earlier. Even if she could not change her sister’s death, she could at least protect her two nieces. Her nieces would not have to suffer from the heartlessness of their relatives after the sudden loss of their parents. They would not have to experience the fickleness and darkness of human nature. “Seren.” Zachary felt sorry for Serenity and embraced her. “It’s all in the past, it’s all in the past.” He had experienced and gone through the trending topic on Twitter last year together with Serenity. Serenity posted her sister’s diary on Twitter to refute what the Hunts claimed, and then the public opinion was reversed. Zachary read his sister-in-law’s diary, but he only dared read it once and not a second time. Reading it once was enough to make him feel incredibly
Chapter 1030
Serenity’s second aunt asked Old Mrs. Hunt, “Is the land use permit with you? You should’ve gone to transfer the house to your names back then.” If the house was under the elders’ names, even if it was built by Scott and Lisa, it could be said to be a display of filial respect for the elders. That way, Serenity and her sister would not be able to get the house back. Old Mrs. Hunt said, “Back then, your dad and I couldn’t find their household registration permit and land use permit. We didn’t know these as well, so we thought it wouldn’t matter if we don’t have the permits. We’re living in the house, so who would dare evict us? “Those two girls must’ve taken away the household registration permit and land use permit.” “Grandmom, Serenity is out again.” Noah saw Zachary coming out with Serenity. His scalp could not help but tighten. He was afraid of his cousin. “Noah, come here,” Serenity called out. ‘She’s calling for me?’ Noah was startled for a while before he ran
