The Yorks would likely be furious, and Serenity would bear the brunt of their anger. The Hunts had nothing to lose since they were unemployed, and they intended to make Serenity’s life difficult until she was driven out of the York family. Why should Serenity embrace her role as Mrs. York when their lives felt like a living hell?
“You don’t need to go to my office. I’m right behind you,” a deep, flat voice said. Old Mr. Hunt turned his head and saw it was Zachary. His sons and grandsons looked frightened as Zachary’s security team kept them at bay.
God only knew when Zachary had arrived and how much of the conversation he had overheard. Zachary had a habit of waking up early, but now that his wife was no longer in bed beside him, he was up before dawn. He went to his sister-in-law’s house to wait for Serenity downstairs.
Despite the lengthy wait, Serenity was nowhere to be seen. It wasn’t until his sister-in-law appeared with Sonny that Zachary realized Serenity was already at the shop. He quickly headed to Wiltspoon School, stopping along the way to buy a bouquet of roses from a florist.
As he approached, Zachary noticed a few cars parked outside the shop and a crowd gathered at the door. Thanks to his keen eyesight and good memory, he recognized the group from afar—it was the greedy Hunt family. His mother had mentioned the Hunts the day before, expressing concern that they might come to demand money from Serenity after discovering his identity.
He never expected this absurd family to come harassing his wife first thing in the morning. Old Mr. Hunt’s crudeness knew no boundaries. Were Serenity and her sister not considered Old Mr. Hunt’s?
Granddaughters? Why was the old man always trying to extract money from the sisters? Serenity would never turn her back on Old Mr. Hunt, even if he asked nicely and was struggling with the high cost of living. At the very least, she would offer a little something to help with his expenses.
However, the Hunts were doing well. True, Zachary had driven them out of business and caused them to lose their jobs, but they had saved a considerable amount of money over the years. Their savings were sufficient to support them even if they were forced out of their careers.
Still, all they seemed to want was to take advantage of Serenity and Liberty as if the girls were not family, or worse, mere strangers.
