Lisa was together with the family. Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had six children: four sons and two daughters. They held a particular dislike for Scott, despite him being the most devoted of them all. Whenever they faced discomfort, he was always the one to take them to the doctor, spending both money and effort on their care.
Lisa, as a daughter-in-law, was also dutiful, but the elderly couple resented her for not giving birth to a son. They treated her with disdain, bullied her, and even pressured Scott to divorce her.
Scott could not bear the thought of divorcing Lisa, nor could he part with his daughters. To him, it made no difference whether his children were boys or girls; he loved them equally.
“Let’s go to court then! Let’s see who’s more afraid!” Old Mrs. Hunt shouted. “My son’s house is mine!”
“Just because you claim to be Lisa’s sister, does that make it true? Did Lisa acknowledge it? Don’t think I’ll be intimidated by your wealth and power. I’m not afraid!”
Old Mrs. Hunt then pointed at Serenity and her sister, scolding them again. “You ungrateful granddaughters are truly trying to drive me to my grave. I’m telling you, as long as I’m alive, don’t even think about building a house on my property!”
“Serenity, you’re so wealthy now, yet you return to fight for the house. You may be rich, but you lack kindness. Your cousins lost their jobs because of your actions, and their businesses have suffered. Yet, you’re still not satisfied and want to take the house away. Can’t you be any less shameless?”
As Old Mrs. Hunt’s anger escalated, she even attempted to strike Serenity. Zachary’s expression darkened, and the Yorks’ bodyguards were poised to intervene. Suddenly, Noah jumped out and rushed to hug his grandmother.
“Grandmom, Grandmom, say whatever you want, but don’t hit them! Please don’t hit them!”
Serenity alone could handle all of them, much to the surprise of those present.
Mr. York was present with his bodyguards. Even if Noah confronted her alongside his cousins, they would not stand a chance against her, let alone his aunt, mother, and the others. The women were adept at arguing and could easily outmatch ordinary people in fights, but they would be courting disaster if they faced someone like Serenity, who had trained in martial arts. Noah, having suffered defeats at Serenity’s hands twice, still felt intimidated by her.
“Grandmom, you have no idea. Serenity is incredibly skilled. I once brought a group of gangsters to trouble her, but she defeated them all without sustaining any injuries,” Noah explained.
Old Mrs. Hunt was left speechless, recalling the incident.
