NovelEnglishChapter 875 There was no justice in the world. Old Mr. Hunt's other granddaughters were rather dutiful, but the insolent granddaughter was one who bagged herself a rich husband.
Seeing that Granddad had made a quick exit, John and the others had no reason to stick around.
They all ran back to the cars and sped away.
Zachary plonked the bucket down onto the ground, spattering water onto his pants.
“I dare you not to run, old man!” Zachary shouted at the runaway cars.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was thinking of getting his bodyguards to haul Old Mr. Hunt into the car for them to drive away if the old man would not budge.
It made things a lot easier as the old man did not hang on for long and took off on his own.
Serenity and Jasmine emerged from the shop.
Jasmine said, “Seren, are these people here to patch things up? Well, don’t make peace with them even if they make a public apology online. They're jealous that things are going well for you.” With a long face, Serenity uttered, “I have no intention of making peace with them. It's not like we can bury the hatchet and move on.” “Is he not your grandfather? | doubt your dad is his son. No grandfather would do such a thing to their granddaughter.
Serenity fell silent before saying, “When my parents were still around, my mom often commented how my dad took after the old man the most. There’s no denying they're father and son.
“My dad wasn't the oldest, but he wasn't the youngest either. | guess the middle child doesn’t get much attention.” Digging into her childhood memory, Serenity remembered that her grandparents were not kind to her parents at all. Her grandparents mooched off her family and expected her parents to take care of them for every little thing. Serenity’s parents did not get so much as a thank-you for doing the legwork and forking out money.
Serenity’s aunts would offer a small plate of leftover turkey to Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt when it was Thanksgiving, and the old folks would not stop boasting about it all year. Apparently, their sons were devoted enough to remember them during Thanksgiving.
It seemed to slip the old folks* minds that Serenity’s family would give the best part of the turkey to them, and this did not just happen during Thanksgiving! Yet, all Serenity’s family got in return was criticism! “Why is he playing favorites when all of them are his children?” Jasmine moaned.” That will never happen in my family.” Serenity took a moment of silence before commenting, “I guess speople can't love their children all the same.” Jasmine looked at her best friend sympathetically.
She believed her best friend would have her happy—ever—after if she could resolve her differences with Zachary—kiss and make up.
It never occurred to anyone that Serenity’s money—hungry relatives would latch onto the sisters like a leech. They stayed on the down-low for a while but cback stronger and more unscrupulous than ever.
Zachary reached out and put his arm over Serenity’s shoulder to offer her solace.
The girl pushed his arm away and faintly uttered, “Stay out of it next time, Mr. York. You're the heir of the York family. It can only damage your nif someone catches you in the act and posts your video on the web.” Looking deeply into her eyes, Zachary replied, “What's the point of having a good reputation without you in my life? “Don't be scared or feel threatened by them, Seren. I'll call the cops on them if they bring it to my workplace. They can't enter the office or our home. Their intimidation tactics are nothing to me.

Serenity glanced at him before turning to return to the shop.
Jasmine gave Zachary a look and went into the shop too.
Zachary wondered if he said anything wrong.
Why did they look at him and leave for the shop without a word? Zachary stood there, frozen.
The bodyguards were anxious for their boss as the latter was thrown into a daze.
Mr. Zachary could put on a bold face and cling onto the missus like glue. Why was 3/3 he standing there? There was a bouquet of roses waiting to be delivered.
The bouquet was still in the car! On the way over, Zachary told Jim that he would stick around the shop to be with Serenity even if Serenity chased him out with a broom.
