Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1017

Serenity, Liberty, Mrs. Stone, and the others were on their way to the Hunts’ hometown when Old Mr. Hunt brought his sons and two grandsons to Wiltspoon School. Here they were to talk cash with Serenity again.

Old Mr. Hunt refused to believe the Yorks were unfazed by all the big hoo-ha the Hunts stirred in the last few days.

Serenity might be feeling the pressure now.

Alas, they arrived at Wiltspoon School only to find that Serenity’s bookshop was closed.

“Why isn’t it operating for business? It’s eight o’clock. It says here they open at eight.”

Getting out of the car, Old Mr. Hunt grimaced upon noticing the shop was closed. He ran his mouth and called Serenity out for being a lousy businessperson.

Mike looked at the shops around and said, “Granddad, it’s Saturday today. The school is off. These shops target students as customers. They won’t bother opening when the school is closed.”

Old Mr. Hunt mumbled, “The brat usually stays open on the weekend. She thinks she’s all that now that she’s the wife of a wealthy man. I bet the profit of this shop isn’t much to her now. Mike, maybe we can change the plans and get her to give you the business if the brat refuses to relent.”

“Serenity established the shop with her friend, Granddad. She could only afford a business because of her friend. The Sox girl comes from a well-to-do family. I heard that the Sox family makes their money off collecting rent. Apparently, her aunt is the wife of some local businessman. The whole family is pretty business-minded.”

There was no way they could take over Serenity’s book-selling business.

“God knows why the brat is so lucky.”

The public was not the only one jealous of Serenity’s good fortune. Her own grandfather could not stand to see her living large.

So what if Serenity married well? She refused to share the fortune with her family.

“Since she’s not open for business, should we head to your house then?”

Old Mr. Hunt asked John as John was his favorite grandson. Old Mr. Hunt often asked for John’s opinion before doing anything.
