Chapter 1017


    Serenity, Liberty, Mrs. Stone, and the others were on their way to the Hunts‘ hometown when Old Mr.


    Hunt brought his sons and two grandsons to Wiltspoon School. Here they were to talk cash with


    Serenity again.


    Old Mr. Hunt refused to believe the Yorks were unfazed by all the big hoo–ha the Hunts stirred in the


    last few days.


    Serenity might be feeling the pressure now.


    s, they arrived at Wiltspoon School only to find that Serenity’s bookshop was closed.


    “Why isn’t it operating for business? It’s eight o’clock. It says here they open at eight.”


    Getting out of the car, Old Mr. Hunt grimaced upon noticing the shop was closed. He ran his mouth and


    called Serenity out for being a lousy businessperson.


    Mike looked at the shops around and said, “Granddad, it’s Saturday today. The school is off. These


    shops target students as customers. They won’t bother opening when the school is closed.”


    Old Mr. Hunt mumbled, “The brat usually stays open on the weekend. She thinks she’s all that now that


    she’s the wife of a wealthy man. I bet the profit of this shop isn’t much to her now. Mike, maybe we can


    change the ns and get her to give you the business if the brat refuses to relent.” 1


    “Serenity established the shop with her friend, Granddad. She could only afford a business because of


    her friend. The Sox girles from a well–to–do family. I heard that the Sox family makes their money


    off collecting rent. Apparently, her aunt is the wife of some local businessman. The whole family is


    pretty business–minded.”


    There was no way they could take over Serenity’s book–selling business.


    “God knows why the brat is so lucky.”


    The public was not the only one jealous of Serenity’s good fortune. Her own grandfather could not


    stand to see her livingrge.


    So what if Serenity married well? She refused to share the fortune with her family.


    “Since she’s not open for business, should we head to your house then?”

    Old Mr. Hunt asked John as John was his favorite grandson. Old Mr. Hunt often asked for John’s


    opinion before doing anything.


    His sons were merely here to make up for the headcount. It was power in numbers after all.


    The rest of the family had returned to their hometown.


    It was a huge expense for everybody to stay in the city. Even though Old Mr. Hunt did not have to cover


    the expenses, he felt the pinch for his sons and grandsons‘ wallets. Old Mr. Hunt did not want to spend


    too much of their money back when they were still working, much less now that they were eating away


    their savings.


    That was why Old Mr. Hunt thought about Serenity and Liberty when his spouse needed to have


    surgery in the city. Why spend his sons and grandsons‘ money when he could spend Liberty and


    Serenity’s?


    To Old Mr. Hunt, his sons and grandsons were family. Their money was his money.


    His granddaughters would marry into other families and their money was their husbands‘ money. Why


    should Old Mr. Hunt care?


    Old Mr. Hunt wanted to manipte Serenity and her sister since they were doing well in life. However,


    the


    n backfired and blew up in their faces. Not only did they fail to get anything out of the sisters, his


    sons and grandsons lost their sources of ie.


    He hated the sisters‘ guts for that, especially Serenity. She married into a wealthy family, and her in–


    laws were loaded. Why could she not spare them some change? A bit of change went a long way.


    What was the point of having a granddaughter when she could not include her family in all the money


    and sess?


    Old Mr. Hunt hoped to drive Zachary and Serenity to divorce. He wanted Serenity to lose everything.


    He also wished Harriet’s stic surgery would go well, so thetter could take Serenity’s ce.


    “She lives in a gatedmunity. We can’t get in. She might be staying in some vi right now, and God


    knows which one. Mr. York owns a lot of properties.”


    Old Mr. Hunt turned green with envy at the mention of Zachary’s multiple properties.


    Although his son had built a nice estate in his hometown, the rural buildings could notpare to the


    structures in the city.


    They had caused a scene at Wildridge Manor. Although the Hunts could not enter the residence, they


    caught a glimpse of the manor through the gaps in the gate. The ce was huge and beautiful. Old Mr.


    Hunt was envious as he imagined himself living there.
