Old Mr. Hunt said, “Fine, takeaway food it is. Serenity, don’t forget to pay the man later.”
Serenity wanted to laugh.
Leopards sure could not change their spots.
These people were always trying to milk her in every way possible.
She coldly blurted, “You order, you pay.”
Serenity took a glance at the local produce John and Mike hoisted into the shop. Since the sacks were not sealed, she could see they were a bag of sweet potato and a sack of yam.
Old Mr. Hunt thought he could handle the money of her business with two sacks of produce.
She could not make this stuff up. Only her granddad would do such a thing.
“Let bygones be bygones, Serenity. We have put the matter behind us. Don’t hold grudges. I’m your granddad no matter what. We’re more than willing to make it up to you and even make a public apology online.
“I told John to draw up an apology, and it will soon be published online.
“Now that all the misunderstandings are cleared up, we’re still one big happy family. You made it big. Your husband’s family is wealthy. I’m talking billions! Tell your husband to stop his open fire at your uncles and cousins. Leave them to run their businesses and work.
“John was a top executive in a company, making up a million a year, but he lost his job because of you. By right, you should compensate for his loss of income, but since you’re cousins, we can forget about the compensation. Just give your cousin back his old job.
“You’re rich now. What’s breakfast going to cost you? Don’t be so stingy and fuss over every single detail. That reminds me, where’s my grandson-in-law? I knew he was the finest, the best of the best when I first met him.
“Haha. You have good taste in men, Serenity. I heard your husband has eight younger cousins and brothers. Can you help set your cousin sisters up with them? I can die happy, knowing they would be well taken care of by the York family.”
Serenity and Jasmine were lost for words.
