The items in the house were still those that her parents had purchased when they were alive. Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt lived here, but they were too lazy to spend money on replacements.
Liberty brought Mrs. Stone and Elisa into the house. Old Mrs. Hunt wanted to stop them but was restrained by Noah. He pulled his grandmother aside, far from everyone, and said, “Grandmom, Serenity is very powerful. She knows kickboxing. Don’t provoke her any further. She’s not going to back down.”
He continued, “The people she brought aren’t to be underestimated either. Let them go in and look around. The house is right here; they can’t carry it away. We can discuss this later when Granddad, Mike, and John are back.”
Old Mrs. Hunt replied bitterly, “It has been so many years. Why didn’t those two girls die outside? Now they’re back to claim their family property. Daughters who are married off are no longer part of the family. How can they expect a share? If they’re so capable, let them fight for their in-laws’ property instead.”
She and her daughters-in-law had never returned to their parents’ homes to contest the family property. How dare Liberty and her sister come back to fight for theirs? If the sisters succeeded in taking the house, Old Mrs. Hunt would feel utterly ashamed and would be too embarrassed to face anyone in the future.
Noah, who had not performed well in school and had dropped out, was currently doing nothing at home. Nevertheless, he understood some legal matters. He said, “Grandmom, if Serenity takes this to court, even with you and Granddad combined, your claim to this house wouldn’t amount to theirs. As for Aunt Lisa’s half of the inheritance, you have no claim to it.”
“Also, John only expressed a desire to be adopted into Uncle Scott’s family to inherit the family line, but the formalities were never completed. Besides, John is…”
He still lives with Uncle Chris and refers to him as Dad. His adoption into Uncle Scott’s family is not valid.
“If you want to pass Uncle Scott’s inheritance to John, you’ll have to wait until Uncle Chris passes away. Even then, John won’t inherit everything. My dad, my aunts, and I will all have a share,” explained Old Mrs. Hunt, who felt dazed after hearing all this.
