“Come on, thank me. You’d better buy more gifts for me to thank me profusely for saving your son’s life.”
Serenity’s words made the corners of the Hunt elders’ mouths twitch.
Abigail was so mad her eyes and veins seemed as if they were about to burst out of her head, her expression grotesque.
However, she still did not dare to raise her hand against Serenity.
A hint of a smile flashed in Zachary’s eyes as he watched how Serenity managed to rebut the elders into silence without even lifting a finger. This woman was interesting!
“Serenity.”
Serenity’s eldest aunt Katelyn could not help but say, “We didn’t say you were at fault. Noah was in the wrong. It’s just that you guys are cousins—very closely related, at that. We’re all one family. If there’s a conflict, we’ll deal with it behind closed doors. As long as you told us about it, we’d have scolded him. There’s no need to put him in jail.
“We wanted to bail him out, but our request was denied. Did you say something to that backer of yours to make it so that we couldn’t bail him out? Serenity, I know you and your sister hold a grudge against us because of what happened back then, but we’re a family after all. And a family is made up of its members, so let’s not involve outsiders in our family business.”
What she essentially meant was that Serenity should not tell her backer about everything and use her backer to suppress their family.
Serenity felt that Zachary’s method of taking action directly was the right one. It simply was impossible to reason with these people. They kept thinking that just because she and Noah were cousins, even if Noah committed a crime, it should not be reported to the police for them to handle.
She said coldly, “Every time I hear you emphasize the blood relationship and the fact that we’re a ‘family’, I feel like laughing. No wonder you guys can live such full lives. You guys are thick-skinned, shameless, and indecent enough to. If someone is indecent enough, they’re invincible, and you guys are all invincible.
