Chapter 104


    Instead of retreating to her room, Serenity went to the balcony and sat on the swing as she stared at


    the flowers and stars in the night. Having pulled herself together, Serenity got up and went to her room.


    It was a quiet and peaceful night for the young couple.


    Meanwhile, at the hospital , the Hunts were caught in a media hell storm.


    The media circus which they had dragged Liberty and Serenity into did not impact greatly on the


    sisters. However, Serenity‘s response to their tweet not only contained Liberty‘s ount of the truth


    back then, but also the recording of the townspeople‘s narration. Even the town council backed up


    Serenity‘s ims.


    The Hunts‘ jobs, ie, and residences were uncovered by resourcefulizens.


    They lived in vis and had decent employment with annual ies ranging from hundreds of


    thousands to over a million. Now, enough about the younger family members. Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt


    had savings up to hundreds of thousands as well.


    The Hunts family had more than enough to foot the grandmother‘s medical bills but they sought


    damages from the two granddaughters instead. Theizens did


    not take too kindly to the proofs, especially the phone conversation between Old Mr. Hunt and Serenity.


    [The grandfather would rather guilt–trip his granddaughters into paying the bills than spend his own


    money. It‘s not like the family doesn‘t have other


    children. All their children are sessful on their own, so why can‘t they pay up?)


    (Why bring the granddaughters into the picture when they have children? Besides, the grandparents


    signed a contract that both parties won‘t owe each other anything after getting the insurance money.


    They sure have the nerve to change the story to their advantage.]


    (Get a load of that voice recording. The grandfather must be joking. I can‘t believe he‘s demanding the


    granddaughters to pay for gas and amodation. The children should be caring for the sick parents


    in the hospital, not the granddaughters!) [It‘s reasonable to expect the children and grandchildren to


    come together and chip in for the medical bill, but why were only their granddaughters targeted? Never


    mind that the grandsons are not contributing with the funds, the grandfather wants the granddaughters


    to reimburse the grandsons‘ gas and amodation. Talk about discrimination against girls.]


    (The guy named John is a senior executive at one of Stone Group‘s subsidiaries. The Stones should


    reconsider their hiring policies.)


    Once theizens got information on the Hunts‘ jobs and ies, Serenity‘s cousin, John received


    the most hate. John was not all that innocent since he got his secretary to pen the storyline to his


    narrative.


    There were users who tagged Stone Group‘s official handle.

    The public was calling for John‘s dismissal. “The d*mn brats. They‘re trying to get my children and


    grandchildren in trouble. Those girls will hear from me about this. Bastards! Ingrates! What‘s wrong


    with asking them to pay for their own grandmother‘s medical bills? I don‘t see why I can‘t tell them off


    since they won‘t even visit or pay.”


    Old Mr. Hunt was running his mouth in the ward.


    Old Mrs. Hunt echoed her husband‘s opinion. All she could think of was to get out of the hospital and


    give the granddaughters an earful or two.


    The whole family came together at the hospital, cramming in the ward as they discussed their next


    ns. Mike was all over the ce. His friends were bitter that Mike twisted the story and put them in a


    difficult position. A few of his friends wanted to cut ties with Mike, iming he was a terrible human


    being.


    “What do we do now, Mike?” Mike‘s father asked. “I read thements. It‘s not looking good for us.


    How did the


    public manage to dig out information on our jobs and ies?”


    “Everything else is not important , but John must keep his job. These nastyizens are tweeting to


    Stone Group‘s official handle , demanding that they fire John.”


    John did not make it to the hospital because of his busy schedule. He would contact Mike directly for


    anything.


    Since the reverse of public outrage, John went straight to hiring professional trolls to paint the family in


    a good light. He also spent money to make Serenity‘s tweet disappear. It was strange that he could not


    reduce traffic on the tweet.


    With every attempt of whitewashing the truth in the Hunts‘ favor, the professional trolls faced bacsh


    from angryizens and in the end, theizens‘ spite and fury overwhelmed them.
