“However, after being morally blackmailed by you guys who delibe rately distorted the truth and being labeled as someone who's unfil ial, | decided not to visit her anymore. | won't give her any money either. All of you have scolded me online, but now you want me to walk up to her just to get another scolding?” “Serenity, they're our grandparents. You won't die from a little scol ding by them. Although you're not obligated to support them, anyo ne with a conscience would give them some living expenses. It's b ‘een so many years, but your sister and you have never gone back to visit them or give them money for maintenance. Well, if you're still able to sleep at night, then we won't say anything about “We have already deleted our blog post, so you should delete your s too. Do you know what impact your post had on all of us? We can sue you for cyberbullying. However, since we're cousins, we had decid ed to negotiate with you privately. There's no need to bring this ma tter into court.”
The one who spoke was John, the most promising person in that g eneration of the Hunt family. He spoke with superiority and arroga nce with his tone pompous and self — righteous, as if lecturing Serenity.
Through what he said, he was still accusing Serenity and Liberty o f not being filial to their grandparents because they did not pay the m living expenses or a visit.

Serenity sneered. “Go ahead and sue me.
I'll wait for the court summons. Also, I'm cyberbullying you? Weren ‘t you the ones who cyberbullied Liberty and 1? What, you're allow ed to bully us, but we're not allowed to clarify the facts? | didn't hir e people to purposefully mislead public scrutiny either. The netizen s doxed you guys because they couldn't stand you.
“Yeah, we're unfilial and didn't give our grandparents any living ex penses . However, may | ask how much do you give to them per month, Mr. Hunt? How many times do you go back to visit them? “Some people really can't be expected to have a conscience. Do y ou remember how Liberty and | got kicked out of the house back t hen? And how was our house forcefully seized by others? You wer e the one who benefited the most. They named you an adopted so n of my parents! Ptui! “You've gotten so used to living off someone else's fortune, and yo u haven't had enough? John Hunt, let me tell you, I'm never deleting that post. Sue me if you dare. I'll even i nvite the media to broadcast our lawsuit live! “The estate is under my parents’ name, so | can use the lawsuit to make that clear. Don't tell me that you're my parents’ adopted son . My parents had no son when they died. Your adoption was just a n excuse to occupy the property left by my parents.” John went pale.
He had no way to refute.
Thinking of how he had been suspended from his job and would m ost likely lose the position he had struggled years to get, he suppr essed his anger, softened his expression , and said gently, “Sereni ty, | was wrong. Be the bigger person and don't hold it against us.
“Grandmom'’s condition is critical now. No matter what mistakes sh e had made in the past, she's still our grandmother. Since she's ol d and ill, just forgive her and come with us to the hospital to visit h er” The Hunt family’s plan was to let Serenity visit her grandmother in the hospital to ease both side’s animosity. Furthermore, it would s end the message to the public that they had reconciled, so the pu blic would stop throwing eggs at the family.
All of them had been affected by this incident, Being scolded by the netizens was a trivial matter, However, it had ended up affecting their work and business as wel I.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two elderly were still stubborn and refused to bow down. How ever, when they heard that their children and grandchildren’s jobs were affected, they
felt sorry for them. That was the only reason they agreed to let thei r grandchildren find Serenity to negotiate.
They knew that Liberty was just a housewife now, and this matter was mainly handled by Serenity, so they went straight to Serenity and did not bother Liberty.
“I heard that you're married. If your husband is free, bring him alon g to the hospital so Grandmom can meet him and test him. Don't e nd up like your sister.” From what she just heard, Serenity realized that her cousins had fi gured out her and Liberty's situation. They were rather capable.
“Save your breath, John. If she doesn't go, just smash up her store!”
