**Chapter 63**<\/div>\n
Serenity informed her sister that she and Zachary would be joining them for dinner that evening.<\/div>\n
Once Serenity hung up with Liberty, Zachary inquired, \u201cHow do you feel about your extended family?\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity responded candidly, \u201cNot well.\u201d<\/div>\n
She continued, \u201cMy parents tragically died in a car accident when I was just ten. After that, neither side of the family stepped up to care for my sister and me. Yet, all of them were eager to claim a portion of the insurance payout.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSince my uncles had no legitimate claim to the money, they pressured my grandparents to extract more from us.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cMy dad was the youngest son, which meant he didn\u2019t receive much attention from the family. My grandparents consistently favored my uncles instead. They decided we didn\u2019t deserve family support in exchange for a larger slice of the insurance payout.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIn total, they took six hundred thousand dollars and signed a contract giving up any care or responsibility for us. My grandparents even moved into the two-story house that my parents had built shortly before their passing.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThey argued that the house legally belonged to them now that my parents were gone.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cMy grandparents went as far as to say we wouldn\u2019t need a house because we could simply find a man to rely on when we grew up. We were just kids at the time, and none of the adults supported us, so my grandparents occupied the house.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDuring our school holidays, we would occasionally return for short visits, but we were met with judgmental glares, as if we were there to take it away from them. Liberty mentioned that our parents\u2019 names are on the title deed.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhen our grandparents pass away, we will file a lawsuit to reclaim the property. We refuse to let our uncles have it.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary offered, \u201cIf you need any assistance for the court proceedings, just let me know. I have connections with many lawyers.\u201d York Corporation had its own legal team, and Serenity felt a wave of gratitude wash over her.<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll reach out if I need anything,\u201d she replied. It would likely be necessary in the future.<\/div>\n

A few years prior to her grandparents\u2019 passing, Serenity and Zachary were likely facing divorce by the time the legal disputes unfolded. \u201cDid your mom\u2019s family support you at all?\u201d It was common for maternal grandparents to have a softer spot for their grandchildren.<\/p>\n

With a hint of bitterness, Serenity replied, \u201cMy mom had a tough life. She went through the system several times before being adopted. Since she wasn\u2019t my grandparents\u2019 biological child, they felt obligated to raise her without showering her with love.\u201d<\/p>\n

After her mother passed away, her grandparents seemed to believe they gained nothing from raising her. \u201cSo, they withdrew four hundred thousand dollars from the insurance payout, leaving Liberty and me with only two hundred thousand. Nobody looked out for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one championed our cause. Everyone was just looking out for their own interests. If it weren\u2019t for the village officials, Liberty and I might have ended up with nothing.\u201d Serenity\u2019s gaze drifted away as she reminisced, sadness washing over her. Tears began to roll down her cheeks; the passage of time had not been gentle. Even after fifteen years, she struggled to move past these memories. Blood ties can often complicate emotions.<\/p>\n

Her maternal side of the family was distant, as her mother was adopted, but on her father\u2019s side, the Hunts were her true relatives. Unfortunately, they showed no compassion towards the sisters.<\/p>\n

It took Serenity a while to regain her composure. She spoke softly, \u201cNow my Grandmom is ill. She\u2019s in the early stages of liver cancer and wants to receive treatment at a hospital here in the city. My cousin even had the audacity to call me and ask if I could organize everything. He also told me to cover the medical expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cancer treatment is notoriously expensive. \u201cEven if I had the funds, I refuse to squander them on her. After everything they\u2019ve done to Liberty and me, they expect me to pay? The most I can offer her is a thousand dollars for food.\u201d She was firm in her stance; they would receive no more from her.<\/p>\n

Zachary responded calmly, \u201cYou really don\u2019t need to hand over a single penny if you don\u2019t feel like it. They won\u2019t appreciate your generosity.\u201d <\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cInstead, they might label you as stingy and ungrateful. Honestly, you won\u2019t feel at ease giving them anything more. It\u2019s all for nothing, as you can\u2019t come out on top in this situation. Just forget about them. They treated you poorly years back, so don\u2019t allow them to act like they\u2019re in the right.\u201d <\/p>\n

It was clear that Zachary had to be resilient to lead York Corporation effectively.<\/p>\n
