Chapter 186
It was said that Ms. Stone was all over Mr. York. She was livid that the Hunts stole her thunder when she finally had her name next to Mr. York’s on the trending news.
Ms.Stone did not seem like an heiress as she acted like she had never met a man in her life! It was revolting that Ms.Stone quashed the Hunts time and again just to woo a man.
Despite the Hunts’ efforts to stick and work together, there was nothing they could do about Ms.Stone.
After coming to the city and going through all those unpleasant experiences, Old Mr.
Hunt realized that the world was bigger than he knew.
He thought his grandson was impressive and amazing, but there were people out there who were ten times better than his grandson, if not more.
“How did that happen? Wasn’t everything agreed upon and underway? Your uncle and I got the script ready to put on a show during the mediation sothe public would know we see the error of our ways, whereas Serenity would be seen as someone holding a grudge for refusing to reconcile.However, now you’re telling me it’s canceled?” Old Mr.Hunt’s oldest son, Stuart, asked anxiously.
“What did John say? Is the mediator refusing to help?” John mentioned a few more the phone before his father hung up.
Chris turned to Stuart and said, “No mediators are coming forward.The best we can do now is to swallow our prides and pay Serenity a few more visits.John took the young ones there the last time.You know youngsters.They can be impulsive.Noah even said he’ll smash Serenity’s shop.He didn’t go there to reconcile.I think he made the whole thing worse.
“Stuart, we should talk it over with everybody.We, the grown-ups, should personally apologize to Serenity.Maybe we can convince her to delete the tweet and share a post that we have settled our differences.It’s the only way we can get out of this in ess.” The power of the internet was beyond everything they knew.
Things had gotten out of hand.
Sigh.
Had they known, the Hunts would not have taken this approach.
They would have demanded money from Serenity at her workplace.
It was probably a better idea “I guess we don’t have any other choice.” Serenity neither knew about the Hunts’ new attempt to bury the hatchet, nor did it matter to her Her relatives may want to patch things up, but Serenity was not
going to budge and fork out the money The Hunts look a chunk out of her parents’ life insurance payout and occupied her parents’ home and field without taking Serenity and Liberty under their care.
Now that the Hunts needed money, they expected Serenity to dish out hundreds of thousands forOld Mrs.
Hunt’s medical bills Serenity might find it in her heart to compensate Old Mrs.
Hunt a little if the relatives were on the breadline Yet, the Hunts were wealthier than she was.
Why should she pay for the medical ins then? When the afternoon came around, Serenity got lunch ready and waited for her sister to eat together.
As her mind wandered to the man who tried to shut her up with money, Serenity had a passing thought about bringing Zachary over to have lunch together.
She told Jasmine, “Jasmine, I’m going over to bring my man here for lunch.
Watch the shop.
Tell my sister that Sonny has already eaten when she comes.” Sonny had soft-boiled vegetables and a bit of formula before he went for a nap.
Jasmine teased, “Ah, I see Mr.York comes to mind when you have good food to share.It seems your relationship with him is going well.”
“He’s the one supporting my means and covering all the living expenses.He should get a taste of the food I make.I’ll take a cab there and get a ride back with him.”
“Hurry along.I’ll be here.” Jasmine was happy that her best friend was making strides in her marriage.
Serenity left for York Corporation.
She only phoned Zachary once there.
Zachary, Josh, and a few senior executives were talking business with an important client when Serenity’s call came in.
Furrowing his brows, Zachary hesitated for a moment before taking the call.
