Caught off guard by the response, Serenity ensued with a smile. โMany couples break up in the face of adversity. We got married without knowing anything about each other and have only lived together for two weeks. Iโm grateful that youโre willing to face this together with me.โ The people around her might be embroiled in the scandal if not handled well. โMy sister and brother-in-law were college sweethearts and had been dating for years before tying the knot. They also have a son together. My brother-in-law wasnโt very nice when he discovered that my sister and I were villainized on the internet.โ Zachary fell silent for a while before responding, โSerenity, you canโt use your brother-in-law as the benchmark for every man out there. Itโs unfair to them and not everyoneโs the same.โ He believed Hankโs feelings for Liberty had gone sour. As the new addition to the family, Zachary did not want to point out that Hank was having an affair without proof. However, it was his gut fee

โOf course, I can give you an extra day if youโre going on a blind date and getting married.โ Josh disconnected his boss-cum-best-friendโs call. Zachary was trying to lead him astray! Not happening! Zachary only married in haste because his nana made him do it. Grandma May took a fancy to Serenity so much so she sacrificed her darling grandsonโs marriage. After giving out directives to Josh, Zachary got out of the car and went to get some snacks. By the time Serenity returned, Zachary had snacks ready for her in the car. โItโll take some time to make the roundtrip. Have something to eat. Donโt starve yourself over a tiny issue,โ he said.โHave you eaten?โ โYeah.โ Zachary ate just enough to stop the hunger. The snacks were not to his liking. Seeing that Zachary was full, Serenity helped herself with the food. Zachary was tasked behind the wheel while Serenity filled her belly. Serenityโs hometown was over an hourโs drive on the highway from Wiltspoon. It had been

Serenity swiftly wiped away her tears before turning to look at the lady. Serenity immediately recognized her. โYou must be Mrs. Deli.โ The lady was one of Momโs close friends when Mom was still alive. โItโs me. You came back.โ Mrs. Deli was very friendly toward Serenity. โDo you want to come by my place for a catch-up?โ She looked at the house and said to Serenity, โI heard your grandmother is sick and getting treatment at a hospital in the city. Your grandfather and your uncles made quite the fuss when sending your grandmother there. They all took their cars. People might mistake them for going to some wedding or holiday.โIโve never seen them so proactive, but somehow, they were very zealous the moment your grandmother fell sick. They were just putting on a show for us.โ Mrs. Deli had no idea about the tweet online since she was without internet. The viral tweet had not been up for a few hours, so it had not spread far and wide yet. โMrs. Deli, do they usually ignore

โBack then, your grandparents said you didnโt have to help them with the cost of living if you split them half of the insurance money. Besides, your grandmother is blessed with a lot of children. You girls shouldnโt be forking out the money for her medical bills.โYour parents were still at the morgue when they seized a share of the blood money and hogged your house and land. They wouldnโt even take you in or let you visit your parentsโ grave. Donโt feel bad for not footing your grandmotherโs medical expenses.โ As a close friend to Serenityโs mother, Mrs. Deli was aware of the events at the time. Once the uncles got their hands on the cash, they wanted no part in the funeral since Serenityโs parents died in a gruesome car crash. They either feigned sickness or made up some sort of excuse to evade the responsibility. It was the mayor who had to step in and give the family a telling-off. With the community giving them judging looks, the uncles begrudgingly helped put the funeral a

โWonโt they try to explain themselves online?โ Old Mr. Hunt asked. The internet was a foreign world to the old man. However, he knew the story his grandson posted on Twitter was made up. He was worried that his two granddaughters would straighten the facts and leave the Hunts without the money and pride in the end. โWho would believe them? We hired trolls to write nasty comments and spill dirt on Serenity and Liberty. The netizens will blast them to kingdom come if they even so much as get online.โ Old Mrs. Hunt chimed in. โMike, use my phone and give Serenity another call. She better delivers the money right now if she doesnโt want to face public outrage. Liberty probably doesnโt have much money since she has a family. You must get Serenity to open her wallet.โ โSay that youโll delete the tweet in exchange for six hundred thousand dollars or be prepared to be ruined. She wonโt be able to show her face in public,โ Old Mr. Hunt added.โGranddad, we shouldnโt be the ones to call

Zachary quietly handed the phone to Serenity. With many netizens blowing up Serenityโs phone with text messages and calls, her phone was out of battery. Serenity could at least get some peace and quiet, but her friends and family had trouble getting in touch. โWho is it?โ โNana,โ Zachary answered.Serenity took the phone and greeted, โNana.โ โI just got online and found out about the tweet, Serenity. Are you okay? Do you need help? Just let Zachary know. Heโs been around the business world to know a lot of big CEOs. Itโs a piece of cake for him to sort things out. โDonโt feel shy to ask. Youโre married. You can tell me if he doesnโt even help with this tiny favor. Iโll beat him up.โ Grandma May had only learned about it now. It was mainly because the viral story did not get far enough. Plus, the tabloid post about Zachary and Elisa snagged the attention away from the tweet. It did not make much of an impact either when it was retweeted by the press. Grandma found out fro

Liberty said, โThereโs a part two. It talked about Grandmom being admitted into the hospital and prepped for surgery with the date fixed, having received help from kind netizens.โThe netizens are really tearing into me, calling us ingrates. Apparently, Granddad and Grandmom struggled hard to raise us, but we repaid them with nothing after we made something of ourselves. We didnโt even visit Grandmom now that she was sick in the hospital. They said we were heartless and a letdown to our grandparents and deceased parents.โ Liberty did a slow burn after scrolling through the comments all day.It hurt especially when her parents were brought into the picture. Mom and Dad were way better children to Granddad and Grandmom than her uncles when they were still alive. Yet, this was the treatment Serenity and Liberty received from Grandmom and Granddad now that their parents were dead. โLiberty, donโt read what the keyboard warriors have to say. They donโt know the truth and will belie

The despair, anger, sadness, and helplessness did not go amiss between the lines. Tears filled Serenityโs eyes as she flipped through her sisterโs diary while accounts of the past flooded her mind.[Dadโs side of the family and Momโs side of the family were ripping each other apart over the insurance money. All of them were trying to get a bigger cut. No one cared about Serenity and me. No one talked about adopting us and taking care of us. Mom and Dad were dead, but all they could think about was money. What about our feelings? Is this what they call a family?Mom, Dad, come back to us. Do you know what your daughters are going through now? How could you leave me and Serenity behind? It was raining. Was God feeling sorry because my sister and I lost our parents? We didnโt have a mom and dad anymore. I cried for Mom and Dad, but they could no longer hear me. I looked at Serenityโs clueless face and cried. She cried too.Serenity had been asking me when Mom and Dad were coming ho

โYou should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.โ Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, โThere were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldnโt eliminate them all at once.โBack then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main familyโs long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someoneโs schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception.

Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me.

Austin replied, โBoth Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. Itโs really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.โSometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, โPhillip is just afraid heโll get here too late and that youโll assume heโs not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.โThe house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabellaโs room and knocked on the door lightly.
