It was no secret to the whole of Wiltspoon what the Hunts had done to Serenity and her sister.
The Hunts put on airs and walked around town as the in-laws to the Yorks now that they realized Zachary was Mr. York. The Hunts took shamelessness to a whole new level.
“You must be kidding. The door’s right there. Get out right now!”
Annoyed by their brazenness, Serenity did not want to waste her manners on them and showed them the door.
John and the others fell back, but they only kept one foot out of the door.
They were counting on Old Mr. Hunt to face Serenity solo.
Since the old man was a senior, Serenity would not resort to violence no matter how angry she was.
“Serenity!”
Scowling, Old Mr. Hunt shouted Serenity’s name and waited until he got Serenity’s full attention before uttering, “We can leave but not before I get a million bucks. I can go back and look after your grandmom. I’ll take them to cause a scene at your husband’s office if you don’t give me the money.
“Without the money, I’ll make sure to embarrass you and make you a laughingstock so you’ll never live it down with your in-laws.”
Serenity turned on her heel to grab the broom.
With Serenity ready to pick a fight, John and the rest scrambled out of the shop.
Still, Old Mr. Hunt held his ground, thinking that Serenity would not lay a finger on him. It would be better if Serenity hit him as he could demand more money.
Serenity did not hit him.
Putting the broom down, she turned around and walked away.
