Pointing at the door, Serenity barked coldly, “There’s the door. Please get up, turn around, and get out of here, Granddad!
“My sister’s affairs are none of your business!
“My so-called cousins have approached me many times, so they know what I said. It’s not like they were interested in giving me a sincere apology. All they were after was my reconciliation with you. Whose fault do you think it is?”
Seeing that Serenity would not budge, Old Mr. Hunt peevishly told Zachary, “See that, young man? She doesn’t want her family by her side. You’re free to kick her around. Don’t worry, we won’t come for you.”
Zachary had a mind to throw the old man out.
He had never seen a grandfather like this ever.
Despite his disdain for his granddaughter, the old man should not say such a thing.
Zachary callously remarked, “I married my wife to love and spoil her, not to pick on her. A man who tyrannizes his wife is no man at all.”
“Are you going to get out yourself or should I drive you out with a broom?”
Granddad’s words got under Serenity’s skin.
These people always talked about making peace. Yet, their actions and words reflected no remorse. They still seemed to believe she was at fault and pushed the blame for their recent bad luck onto the person backing Serenity.
Hence why they shamelessly and relentlessly came by her shop.
Serenity had mentioned that the conflict between them started with Twitter, so it should end with Twitter too. Serenity was willing to accept reconciliation if the Hunts issued a public apology on Twitter and returned the sisters their good name.
Since the Hunt could not comply with a simple request, why should Serenity back down?
John immediately chimed in, “Serenity, Granddad’s getting senile. Don’t take his words to heart. We’re here today not for you to pay for Grandmom’s medical bills but to teach your sister’s man a lesson and save your sister’s marriage.
“She has a child to think about too. Let us know if your sister’s in-laws are a menace. We’re your cousins no matter what. We should stick up for you and your sister when you’re being harassed.”
“Don’t bother, John. She will come and beg us to be on her side when her in-laws push her around.”
