Chapter 102
Theresa had been trying hard to persuade Emily. After all, her father and brothers had promised to give
her thirty thousand dollars out of the three hundred thousand dollars.
Thirty thousand dollars was a year’s salary for her!
However, Emily would not agree to whatever Theresa and Henry said. Finally, Theresa left a harsh
warning, “Mom! Fran and Des have spoken. If you ruin this, Micah and Myran won’t be able to afford a
house or get married. They’ll resent you for the rest of their lives!”
Emily was furious and anxious. “How could you.. Do you all even have a conscience?! Have you
forgotten how Serenity treated
Theresa laughed. “Mom, that’s all in the past. Things have changed. You can’t let her ruin our family
and the children’s future. Besides, it’s partly Serenity’s fault that Micah and Myran can’t get married.

marry into the family? If they don’t even have a house ready, it’s even less likely for them to get
married.”
Emily ground her teeth. After a short silence, she looked at her third daughter with teary eyes. “Y-you…
How can you even face your younger sister?!”
Theres did not care. Her youngest sister had been dead for years. They might have had a good
relationship before, but their sisterly love was gone. What was more important than money?
Serenity’s cousins surrounded her in the living room. Her cousin, Lynette, was snacking on so
some seeds and said with a half- smile, “I heard from Grandpa. Your Dad said you’re now a sanitation
worker and cleaning the streets. Is that true?”
Lynette was just one year older than Serenity, When they were younger, everyone always compared
Lynette to Serenity. Serenity was a top student, but Lynette was the complete opposite. Lynette failed
to go to college and went to work after graduating high school. Later, she had married a blacksmith in a
neighboring town.
At that time, Serenity was dating Zeke Shaw, the son of a wealthy family. Whenever Lynette thought of
Serenity’s boyfriend and compared him to her own husband, she felt outclassed and ashamed.
Needless to say, Lynette would take every opportunity to step on Serenity, who had fallen in hard times.
“Yes, I clean the streets,” Serenity said, not ashamed of her career.
“Hey, you went to college, but what’s the use? In the end, you’re out cleaning the streets. Oh, but in the
future.. Hehe, you won’t have to…”
Before Lynette could finish her sentence, Myrau gave her a look.
Lynette paused with a meaningful expression, gloating over Serenity’s future doom. ‘Hmph! What’s the
use of bring a top student? She’ll end up marrying a m oron, anyway.”
Lynette could not wait to see how Serenity would be after marrying that mo ron.
In the evening, the family gathered for New Year’s Eve dinner, and Serenity finally met her
grandmother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Emily saw Serenity, her eyes were leary, and the former hugged Serenity for a while.
“Oh, child. You must have suffered so. I’m so sorry. You got into trouble, but I couldn’t help at all,” Emily
sobbed.
Lynette Interrupted before Serenity could even answer Emily as she remindest her grandinother,
“Granny, Serenity was jailed because of her mistake! She deserved her punishment by the law!”
Emily glared at Lynette which finally made the latter shut her mouth resentfully.
Serenity shook her head and reassured Family, “In fine. I didn’t suffer much Besides, I’m out now,
aren’t 17 I’ll visit more often and spend time with Grandpa and you.”
Hearing that, Emily felt even sadder.
Chapter 102
Afraid that Emily would reveal their secret plan, Henry and the rest hurriedly urged everyone to sit
down and have dinner together. During dinner, Serenity’s uncles and her aunt, Theresa, tried
persuading Serenity to drink.
“It’s a celebration. Let’s have some wine. Serenity, you should visit your grandparents more often,”
Theresa said, smiling.
