Chapter 1025
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
Chapter 1028
“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
Chapter 1031
Liberty felt that her sister’s suggestion was not bad, and she replied, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”Zachary looked at the time and said gently, “Liberty, Seren, once we reach town, let’s go eat first. We adults won’t be hungry, but Sonny is still a kid—he won’t be able to hold out and will probably get hungry soon.”Serenity looked at the time. Without realizing it, it was already almost noon.She said in agreement, “Then let’s go eat first. I haven’t eaten my hometown’s specialty for a long time now too.”“When we get back, we’ll go ahead and immediately prepare to file a lawsuit,” Serenity said, directed at Liberty.Liberty did not have anything to add.Considering Liberty’s shop was about to open for its first day of business soon and she would be very busy, Serenity said thoughtfully, “Liberty, I’ll handle this. Your shop will have its grand opening the day after tomorrow and you’ll definitely be swarmed. I work with Jasmine, so Jasmine can watch the shop while I go handl
Chapter 1032
He had probably just arrived and seeing the shop was not open, he stood at the door for a moment before turning to leave.Once he turned around, he saw Liberty approaching as she rode the e-bike with her son.“Liberty!” Hank Brown shouted.Hearing her ex-husband’s shout, Liberty had the impulse to make a U-turn and leave.Her ex-husband and his family simply seemed to keep haunting her.She had never seen Hank so concerned about her and her son even before they had divorced.The little guy sitting in front, however, was very happy when he saw his father and yelled, “Daddy.”Liberty did not turn her bike around and leave in the end. She had not done anything wrong, after all. She did not need to feel guilty.Hank walked down the steps and waited for the mother and son to reach him.“Sonny.”Liberty parked the e-bike and Hank walked forward to carry his son down from the child’s seat. He asked Sonny, smiling, “Sonny, did you miss Daddy?”“I did.”Hank lowered his head to kiss
