Just then, she could hear her grandfather’s goading voice through the phone saying, “Why haven’t you
told Serenity to rush over to the police station and tell them to release her uncles and the rest?!”

be locked away for as long as they deserve!
“Have you forgotten that they’re your children?! How could you take the side of someone with a
different surname?!
“What do you mean ‘someone with a different sumame?! She’s my granddaughter! Since her mother’s
gone, it’s my job as her grandmother to support her!”

are you that granddaughter of yours who’s been in prison before to take care of you?!”

but we won’t let others bully us either!”
