Chapter 1444
Serenity’s words brought joy to Old Mr. Hunt because she reached out for help when faced with a problem.
“My sister got into an accident and was injured,” she explained.
“What kind of accident? How is she doing? What caused her injury? Did it happen a week ago? Mike and John asked if you had contacted me during that time. They were tight-lipped when I inquired about their intentions,” he replied.
Old Mr. Hunt had never kept up with the internet, so he was unaware that Liberty had been injured. The younger members of the family knew but had not informed Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt. The townspeople also remained silent, as they believed there was tension between the Hunt sisters and their grandparents. If Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt learned of Liberty’s injury, they would likely be upset, so no one in town mentioned it to him.
“It happened a week ago. Liberty is recovering well, but her former in-laws are constantly bothering her. They want her to reconcile with her ex-husband, even though her injury was caused by his new wife’s actions. My sister and I want nothing to do with them anymore,” Serenity summarized.
After hearing this, Old Mr. Hunt criticized the Browns. He had a longstanding conflict with Mrs. Brown, stemming from his failure to complete a task she had assigned him, despite having accepted a substantial sum of money from her. She wanted the money returned, but once it was in his possession, no one could reclaim it. This situation led to mutual resentment between Old Mr. Hunt and Mrs. Brown.
“I heard your sister opened a breakfast diner that is thriving. She’s making a good profit each day, and you’ve married into a wealthy family. You also have a rich aunt. The Browns must have recognized your sister’s potential and success, which is likely why they want her to—”
Remarrying? How shameless! That family has no dignity!
“Serenity, what do your grandmother and I need to do?”
Serenity didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she asked, “Granddad, how have you and Grandmom been lately? Are you receiving any living or food allowances?”
Old Mrs. Hunt had recently undergone major surgery, and Serenity believed it was only right that her grandmother’s children should provide her with some support.
“Don’t even get me started! I’ve finally seen through it all. They act caring when it benefits them, calling me ‘Dad’ when they need something. But when there’s nothing in it for them, they just refer to me as ‘old man’ or ‘old fart’, forgetting to address me as ‘Dad’ altogether.”
It was the first time Old Mr. Hunt admitted this to Serenity. “In the end, your parents were the best when they were still around. They would check in whenever your grandmother or I felt unwell, taking us to the doctor and caring for us.”
“Serenity, it’s normal for you and Liberty to hate me…” he sighed.
After all he had experienced, Old Mr. Hunt was now old and had no choice but to acknowledge that the son he disliked the most was also the one who showed the most filial piety.
“They’ll pay me rent every month. Here’s what we can do: I’ll transfer the rent they pay me to you to serve as your Grandmom’s and your allowance from now on.” Serenity had requested her uncles to pay her the rent for the house where Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt lived. It was just over a thousand dollars each month.
Serenity and Liberty didn’t care about the money; they simply wanted justice.
“Serenity, you need your grandmother and me to confront the Browns verbally, right? Leave it to us! You don’t have to pay us anything, but I would gladly accept it if you choose to.”
If the rent was used as an allowance for Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, they could save their pensions and spend that money instead.
Slowly. Old Mr. Hunt grew more eager, as there was something in it for him. “You just need to make sure the Browns stop bothering my sister and disrupting her peaceful life, Granddad.” “Alright. I know how to handle it. Your grandmom and I excel at this.” Serenity inwardly mocked, ‘It appears Granddad has some self-awareness.’
