Chapter 684
Despite John’s persistent questioning, the human resource managers would not reveal to him who else, apart from
Stone Group, was putting an end to his
professional career.
John knew that someone had Serenity and her sister’s back. He thought it was Elisa at first, but now it seemed
there was someone more powerful than Elisa standing
behind the sister.
Who could it be?
The person had the power to stop anybody from hiring him in Wiltspoon.
Having lost his confidence, John decided to wait until Grandmom was out of the hospital and send his grandparents
back to their hometown before figuring

“What do we do now?”
Stuart was anxious. “Whoever’s behind Serenity and her sister must be some sort of big shot. They’re the reason
for our job losses and business failures. You’re feeling the pinch too even though you don’t run a huge business.
“Mike, we can have a family meeting when your grandmom is out of the hospital. We should apologize sincerely as
Serenity had asked and see if things will change for
the better.”
Serenity mentioned that they should apologize for framing the sisters, tarnishing their names, roasting them, and
putting them in the face of cyberbullying.
Mike was hesitant.
“It’s bad enough as it is. What’s so difficult about issuing a public apology online? We can offer gifts to Liberty and
her sister after the public apology. We must clean up our act and apologize this time. Things might be better when
the sisters put the matter behind them.”
Mike uttered resentfully, “It was too much of Serenity and Liberty. Sure, we started it, but it was only a Twitter post.
So, we hired people to troll them, but they fought back too. It’s been hard on us the last two months. We suffered
quite a huge loss.
“We’re even now, but the girls won’t back down. Must they push us this far?”
Mike was not ready to forgive and forget.
He added, “They can’t let go of their resentment toward us and still hold the incident
against us, Dad. It’s likely we won’t ever reconcile with the sisters. I can bet my money that they will try and take
back their parent’s property.”
“That is our family’s home base. They’re married, so they shouldn’t have a share of the property. The girls don’t
have the right to do so!”
“Dad, all children have the right to inherit the property. It’s just a custom in our town to leave the inheritance to

“What should we do now? We clearly don’t have the upper hand.”
Stuart said with utmost regret, “We shouldn’t have done that. Your grandmom could’ve used her savings to pay the
hospital bill. It was enough to cover the bill if each of us contributed a little.
“But none of you was willing to fork out the money. We tried to make the girls pay instead. Do you remember what
Liberty did when we asked for family support during her wedding? We should’ve known the sisters are no
pushovers. They were only young ladies back then.”
Mike sort of regretted it too, but there was no point crying over spilled milk. What was done was done. The Hunts
could only continue what they started.
“I’m going to go around to see if I can find out who has the sisters‘ back.”
Mike even pondered killing the girls. He could look for someone to finish them off.
Nevertheless, since Serenity got Noah locked up in jail after the stunt he pulled, Mike had to quit on that thought.
They should apologize and go from there.
Mike would resort to more desperate means if nothing changed after the apology was made.
Even if he had to go down, he was taking Liberty and Serenity down with him.
