Over a decade ago, Dad made a deal with the girls: they wouldn’t owe us anything. But now, with Mom’s health declining, it feels like everyone is turning against the girls, pressuring them for money.
“It’s not that Mom and Dad don’t have us; we’re all financially stable. As children, it’s our duty to care for Mom in her time of need. Why are we making things harder for Liberty and Serenity? It’s not fair to push them to their limits. Remember what happened three years ago? You know how you treated the girls when their parents passed away. Do you really think you can force them to pay up by spreading false stories online? Consider this: who will be left worse off if they decide to fight back? There are only two of them against our larger group.”
Silence fell over the room.
The family had once been united in pursuit of money, but now that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, blame was being tossed around like a hot potato.
After a bit of time, old Mr. Hunt finally broke the silence, asking, “What’s our next move?” He regretted reaching out to Serenity, never imagining she would record their discussion.
“Let’s try to convince Serenity to delete that tweet. If this escalates, it won’t end well for us,” he suggested.
“Mike, get in touch with her and ask her to take it down. At the very least, we don’t want to burden them with paying for their grandmother’s medical expenses,” old Mr. Hunt thought the solution would be that straightforward.
Mike, feeling defeated, replied, “She blocked my number.”
After a brief pause, he added, “I could send out another tweet in Grandmom and Granddad’s names to apologize to Serenity and Liberty. We might be able to turn this around by showing the girls that our parents acknowledge their mistakes and genuinely regret their past actions. With their health declining, all they really want now is to reconnect with their granddaughters.”
Thus, they took such a drastic step.”
“There’s absolutely no chance I’ll apologize to them. Yes, we did sign that agreement, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still their grandmother. Shouldn’t they come see me when I’m ill? Shouldn’t they cover my surgery expenses?” Old Mrs. Hunt stood her ground firmly.
“Just ignore the negative comments. It’s not as if the online users can actually harm us.”
