“They can try every dirty trick under the sun, but we’re not going to change our minds about taking them to court. We’ll only take what is ours and nothing more,” Serenity spoke firmly.
She was not a heartless person, but she could show no mercy when it came to her money-hungry relatives.
It would take Serenity a lifetime to get over the hurt from her childhood.
“Of course. They can talk and make up stories all they want. We’ll take the legal route, so it’s a fair game for them and us.”
Elisa said, “I have never met anyone more shameless than them. Are you sure your father is their blood family, Seren?”
“I believe so. My father shared an uncanny resemblance with his old man. They’re just playing favorites…. That’s the case with some parents—they dote on the oldest and youngest while the middle child tends to get ignored.
“I will request for a DNA test if they put up a defense, saying that my father isn’t their child in court. The DNA test will prove the blood relations.
“If they aren’t willing to do the DNA test, it can only mean that they are lying and have something to hide.”
With the current medical technology, a DNA test could determine blood ties between family members.
The rumors spread by Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt in town would only make them a laughingstock.
Everybody came from the same town, and the older generation was still around when Serenity’s father was born. These people would not be blind to the truth.
It was the same with Serenity’s mother. The people in Lisa’s hometown might not remember much about her, but they knew that Lisa was adopted.
“As you said, they’re spreading rumors to guilt-trip you into thinking that you shouldn’t fight for the property since you’re not related to them.”
