Chapter 264<\/div>\n
Over the years, they had lived a life of luxury and had become quite complacent. Even the slightest movement left them panting from exertion. They could not afford to provoke Serenity and her husband, especially since Serenity was skilled in martial arts.<\/div>\n
It was a mystery how Liberty raised her sister to allow Serenity to learn martial arts.<\/div>\n
Fortunately, they had the foresight to secure Serenity\u2019s father\u2019s life insurance payout; otherwise, it might have been squandered by Serenity and her sister.<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity, you better not push your luck! I\u2019m warning you, if you don\u2019t get Noah out of jail and something happens to him there, you\u2019ll never hear the end of it from me! Don\u2019t think I\u2019m afraid of you just because you have a husband now!\u201d<\/div>\n
Abigail yelled, pointing an accusatory finger at Serenity.<\/div>\n
Zachary finished washing his hands and turned his head. A single, sharp glance from his icy gaze caused Abigail\u2019s tirade to falter.<\/div>\n
She felt a surge of fear towards this cold, stoic man.<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity.\u201d<\/div>\n
Stuart Hunt finally spoke up, \u201cRegardless of the circumstances, it\u2019s wrong to raise your hand against someone. If you ask your husband to apologize to your aunt, as the elders, we will not hold it against you any further.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSo you acknowledge that it\u2019s wrong to raise your hand against someone. When Noah and a gang of thugs, all wielding metal bars, confronted me in the middle of the night and ordered me to leave my car, I was terrified. When I got out, he was the one who attacked me first. If I hadn\u2019t reacted quickly, that metal bar could have seriously injured me. What do you think would have happened then?\u201d<\/div>\n
The corner of Zachary\u2019s mouth twitched at Serenity\u2019s mention of being scared, though a glimmer of amusement shone in his eyes.<\/div>\n
Serenity continued, \u201cHe was in the\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s incorrect, and I was merely acting in self-defense. How am I to blame? You all have come here in a large group at night to accuse and verbally assault me. Do you believe you have the right to do that?\u201d <\/p>\n

Stuart Hunt was left speechless. After a moment, he replied, \u201cSerenity, we know Noah is in the wrong, but aren\u2019t you okay? You know martial arts, and Noah and his group couldn\u2019t even overpower you. You\u2019re perfectly fine. What\u2019s the big deal about a little conflict between cousins? Since you\u2019ve already fought, just let it go. Why did you have to involve the police?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNoah is still a minor. His detention will significantly impact his future. You\u2019re his cousin. Isn\u2019t it a bit heartless to treat your own family this way?\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity responded coldly, \u201cDon\u2019t lecture me about family. If I were truly heartless, he wouldn\u2019t have been merely detained. Besides, don\u2019t you find it ironic that you criticize me for lacking compassion? When have you shown any kindness? Do you remember how you treated my sister and me after our parents died?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cFifteen years ago, you cut all familial ties with us. So now, don\u2019t come here talking about family!\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity stepped forward to stand in front of Abigail, who glared at her with rage, wishing she could incinerate her with her eyes. Although Abigail was tempted to attack, she felt intimidated by Zachary\u2019s icy stare and ultimately refrained from making a move. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be grateful. Just think about this\u2014your son is underage, yet he has the audacity to lead a group of thugs to block someone\u2019s path. They didn\u2019t succeed in harming me because I know martial arts. But if I had been a weak, defenseless woman and he had assaulted me, vandalized my car, and stolen my belongings, what do you think he would have become?\u201d<\/p>\n

The crime of robbery is extremely serious. He wouldn\u2019t just be detained; he would likely face several years in prison. Although he is a minor, he has already reached the age of 16. If he breaks the law, he must take responsibility for his actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will serve as a lesson for him. Being detained will help him understand that what he did was illegal. Once he is released, he will know to control himself and avoid becoming like those criminals. He won\u2019t dare to misbehave in the future. If this isn\u2019t saving him, then what is?\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity spoke with reason and conviction, leaving the elder Hunts surprisingly unable to counter her argument. <\/p>\n

She went on to say, \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for the fact that we are still blood relatives, I wouldn\u2019t have helped him this time. I would have simply let things be and not cared if he met a dire fate.\u201d<\/p>\n
