Chapter 1020
Old Mrs. Hunt’s rhetorical question silenced some families with sons.
“In this town, there’s an unwritten rule that the family fortune goes to the sons, who also manage their parents’ final days. I understand that, but my parents only had my sister and me; they didn’t have a son. Therefore, their inheritance should rightfully be passed down to us.”
“Grandma, when did my parents adopt a son? Was the adoption finalized while they were alive? Can we see the documents?”
“We have never been informed of any changes to our family tree,” Serenity raised her voice as she questioned Old Mrs. Hunt.
The onlookers turned to see who was speaking up.
With Serenity walking alongside Zachary, protected by men in black, the crowd parted to allow them to approach the gate of Serenity’s family home.
Liberty left Sonny in Jim’s care, allowing him to play nearby.
She didn’t want Sonny to witness her confrontation with the elderly woman.
Escorted by a security team, Mrs. Stone and her daughter trailed behind Serenity and her husband.
Mrs. Stone appeared visibly unhappy.
She had spent decades searching for her sister, but a car accident sixteen years ago had claimed her sister’s life.
Fortunately, her sister had left behind two daughters. Since Liberty resembled her mother, Mrs. Stone found some comfort in looking at her.
Mrs. Stone wished to visit her sister’s former home and pay her respects at her grave.
However, since her nieces were unaware of their parents’ graves’ new locations, Mrs. Stone had yet to fulfill this dream.
She fully supported her nieces in reclaiming their parents’ belongings.
Old Mrs. Hunt’s comments only fueled Mrs. Stone’s anger.
Both her sister and she…
The husband had worked tirelessly to build their house. However, these individuals exploited her nieces’ youth, inexperience, and lack of authority to take over the property. The Hunts forcibly removed the children from both the house and the town.
Now that Serenity and her sister had returned to reclaim the house, the old woman was claiming that her sister’s adopted son was the rightful owner. This was a clear attempt to usurp the property.
Mrs. Stone resolved to extract information about Lisa’s and Scott’s graves from them. Regarding the estate, there was no use in arguing; the most effective course of action was to take the matter to court.
The Stones and the Yorks were more than capable of assisting the sisters in reclaiming their family home.
“Liberty and Serenity are back.”
The onlookers recognized Serenity, as she had visited the previous year to counter the damaging claims made by their grandparents. She had met with everyone in town.
Liberty, having lost a significant amount of weight, bore an uncanny resemblance to her mother.
“Liberty resembles Lisa more and more each day.”
Howden was Lisa’s maiden name, as well as that of her adoptive parents. Lisa had another name prior to her adoption, and the only person who knew that name was Mrs. Stone.
