Chapter 97<\/p>\n

Serenity quickly dried her tears and turned to face the woman standing before her. Almost instantly, she recognized her. \u201cYou must be Mrs. Deli,\u201d she said. The lady had been one of her mother\u2019s close friends during her mother\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s me! You\u2019ve returned!\u201d Mrs. Deli greeted Serenity with warmth and friendliness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you like to come over to my place for a chat?\u201d Mrs. Deli suggested. She glanced at the house and continued, \u201cI heard your grandmother is unwell and receiving treatment at a hospital in the city. Your grandfather and uncles certainly made quite a scene when they took her there.\u201d<\/p>\n

She chuckled softly, \u201cThey all drove their cars, and honestly, it looked more like a wedding procession than a hospital visit. I\u2019ve never seen them so eager; it\u2019s as if they were putting on a show for everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Mrs. Deli, she was completely unaware of the viral tweet that had surfaced online. Since she didn\u2019t have internet access, she hadn\u2019t seen it, and the tweet had only been posted a few hours ago, so it hadn\u2019t gained significant traction yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Deli, do they usually neglect my grandparents?\u201d Serenity asked, her curiosity piqued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, they typically only visit during the holidays,\u201d Mrs. Deli replied. \u201cYour grandfather has his pension and some money left from your parents\u2019 insurance, so they don\u2019t really have anything to worry about. I heard they\u2019ve managed to save up around four hundred thousand dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Deli gestured toward the nearby villas and added, \u201cThose belong to your uncles. They\u2019re the wealthiest family in our community. Your grandfather takes great pride in boasting about his children and grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n

She paused before continuing, \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Suddenly, she turned her attention back to Serenity. \u201cIs this your boyfriend?\u201d she asked, mistakenly assuming the close presence of Serenity and another young man signified a romantic relationship. Mrs. Deli believed that Serenity\u2019s uncles only thrived because their grandparents had shared half of the insurance money with them, disregarding Serenity and Liberty, who had recently experienced a loss.<\/p>\n

Their parents had passed away, leaving Serenity and Liberty to fend for themselves. In stark contrast, their uncles had the financial means and opportunities to establish successful careers, and now all the relatives owned assets valued at over a million. <\/p>\n

It had been quite some time since Mrs. Deli had heard from the sisters, so she was delighted to see Serenity back, yet felt a pang of sadness for her situation. \u201cThis is my husband, Zachary,\u201d Mrs. Deli said with a smile. \u201cOh, you\u2019re married? When did that happen?\u201d Serenity asked. \u201cWe just got our marriage license recently, but we haven\u2019t had the reception yet,\u201d Mrs. Deli replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see. Your parents would have been so happy to see you married,\u201d Serenity remarked with a sigh. \u201cThey were such wonderful people, taken from us too soon. It\u2019s disheartening that your relatives have taken advantage of you and Liberty. I\u2019ve been hoping for justice to be served. They really should face the consequences of their actions.\u201d <\/p>\n

It was unfortunate that karma seemed to be slow to act. <\/p>\n

Zachary nodded at Mrs. Deli in greeting before discreetly pulling out his phone to record the conversation between her and Serenity. After Mrs. Deli graciously invited them over for dinner, the couple accepted and spent the evening at her home. <\/p>\n

Later, after dinner, Mrs. Deli leaned in and whispered to Serenity, \u201cI\u2019m so relieved to see that you and Liberty are doing well. Just be cautious about letting your grandparents know. Your grandmother is unwell, and I suspect it might be early-stage liver cancer. The surgery will likely be expensive. Knowing them, they\u2019ll shamelessly expect you and Liberty to cover the costs, even though they have more than enough money.\u201d<\/p>\n
