Married at First Sight Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199

“That’s right, Serenity. Thank you so much for yesterday. If it hadn’t been for you, Lucas and Sonny might have… I wouldn’t be able to continue living if anything happened to those two children.”

Mrs. Brown was also grateful to Serenity.

Serenity replied, “Mrs. Brown, Chelsea, you already thanked me yesterday. Sonny is my nephew, and I will always protect him.”

No matter how mischievous Lucas was, she couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing for him either.

In that moment, anyone capable would choose to help rather than abandon them.

“We should be the ones thanking you. Do you have some time, Serenity? We’d like to take you out for a meal,” Chelsea said with a smile. “Please invite your sister too. I’ll treat both of you. Also, do your bodyguards happen to be outside? I want to personally express my gratitude to them as well.”

“Chelsea, you can treat them instead of us. Milo, Harry, come in for a moment.”

Serenity had only instructed the bodyguards to save the children, but they were the ones who actually rescued Lucas. It was only fitting that the Browns thank them directly.

The bodyguards entered after hearing Serenity call for them.

“Missus,” they greeted Serenity respectfully.

She said, “Chelsea and her family are here to thank you both for rescuing Lucas yesterday. She brought these items as a token of gratitude, and you are welcome to accept them.”

Serenity didn’t want to accept gifts from the Browns, but she also didn’t want to pass up the chance for them to spend their money. Since the bodyguards were the ones who saved Lucas, the gifts should go to them.

“You two are our saviors. Thank you so much for your help yesterday.”

The Browns were immensely grateful to the bodyguards and gave them half of the gifts while keeping the other half for Serenity.

Chelsea even took out several envelopes filled with money to be given.

Serenity declined the offer, but she permitted Milo and Harry to accept Chelsea’s envelopes. After spending some time there, the Browns decided not to disturb Serenity any further. However, they encountered Old Mr. Hunt at the bookstore’s entrance; he had come from the Hunts’ hometown, accompanied by two of his sons and two grandchildren, representing three generations. They arrived in John’s luxury car.

It was evident that they were interested in the assets left behind by Scott and his wife. When Serenity and Liberty returned to their hometown, they brought along so many people that the entire neighborhood—and indeed the whole town—took notice.

Serenity and Liberty announced their intention to file a lawsuit. After discussing the law with his grandchildren, Old Mr. Hunt realized that he and his wife wouldn’t receive much of the inheritance, which made him anxious. Although the properties left by Scott and his wife weren’t particularly valuable, their size was significant. Housing lands in agricultural areas could be inherited by children and grandchildren, meaning these lands held considerable worth.

Old Mr. Hunt’s concern stemmed from his disbelief. He thought that since his son and daughter-in-law had passed away, their two daughters would not be able to claim inheritance—after all, a married daughter is often viewed as “water under the bridge.” He believed that the housing lands and farmlands should rightfully belong to him and his wife, who could then distribute them as they saw fit.

Lacking knowledge about the laws of descent and distribution, Old Mr. Hunt only realized that he and his wife would receive little inheritance if they pursued a lawsuit. After discussing the matter with his family, he began to raise a fuss about Scott’s background. However, it was important to remember that Scott was deceased.

Regardless, there was no evidence to support the claim. He wouldn’t feel sorrowful even if Old Mr. Hunt declared that he was not a genuine member of the Hunt family.

Old Mr. Hunt wished for Serenity and Liberty to abandon their plans to file a lawsuit. He believed it would consume a significant amount of time and require funds for hiring lawyers, which he found to be overly burdensome.
