Chapter 63

Serenity responded to her sister, saying that she and Zachary would be there for dinner tonight. After

Serenity hung up on Liberty , Zachary asked, “Do you get along with your extended family?” “No.

Serenity was frank and honest. She added, “My parents passed away in a car crash when I was ten. No

one from my paternal or maternal sides of the

family wanted to raise my sister and I. “However, all of them wanted a piece of the insurance payout.

Since my uncles had no right to the money, they

instructed my grandparents to get more out of us.

My dad was the youngest son, so he didn’t get much attention in the family. My grandparents favored my

uncles instead. “They said that we don’t have to pay for family support in exchange for a bigger chunk of

the insurance payout.

They took six hundred thousand dollars and signed the contract to relinquish care for us and our

responsibility to them. My grandparents also moved into the two-story house my parents had built just

before passing away. They said the house was theirs since my parents were no longer around.

“My grandparents mentioned that we don’t need a house since we can find a guy to depend on when we

grow up. We were young back then, and no one had our backs, so the house was occupied by my

grandparents. We used to return for a short stay during our school holidays, but we received judging

looks as if we were there to steal the place from them.

“Liberty said that our parents’ names are on the title deed. We’ll file a suit and reclaim the property when

our grandparents are gone. We won’t leave the house to our uncles.” Zachary uttered, “Let me know if

you need our help when you go to court. I know a lot of lawyers.

” York Corporation had its own legal team. Serenity was grateful. “I’ll ask if I need help.” It would be

probably a few years before her grandparents kicked the bucket. Serenity and Zachary would probably

be divorced by the time the legal battle came about. “Did your mom’s family stick up for you?”

The maternal grandparents tended to have a softer spot for their grandchildren. Serenity said bitterly, “My

mom had a rough life. She had been through the system multiple times before she was adopted. Since

Mom isn’t my grandparents’ own, they only felt the responsibility to raise her without giving her much

love. After my mom was gone, they believed they got nothing out of bringing her up.

“So, they took four hundred thousand dollars out of the pot of insurance money. Liberty and I were left

with two hundred thousand. No one looked out for us. No one stuck up for us. All they were looking out

for was their own interest. If it weren’t for the village officials, Liberty and I would probably be left with

nothing.”

Saddened by the past, Serenity turned her head away and looked out the window. Tears streamed down

her cheeks. Time had not been kind. She still could not get over the matter even after fifteen years.

Blood was thicker than water. Never mind her maternal side of the family as Mom was adopted.

however, Dad was the Hunts’ flesh and blood, but the family showed no mercy toward the sisters. It took

a while for Serenity to get ahold of herself. She uttered faintly, “Now my Grandma is sick. It’s the early

stage of liver cancer. She wants to be treated in a hospital here in the city. My cousin had the nerve to

call and get me to organize the whole thing.

“He also told me to pay the medical fees. Cancer treatment is not cheap. Even if I do have the money,

I’m not going to waste it on her. To think they

expect me to pay after what they’ve done to me and Liberty. “The best I can give her is a thousand bucks

for food.

They won’t get any more out of me.” Zachary unhurriedly replied, “You don’t have to give them a penny if

you don’t want to. They won’t thank you for giving the money. They’ll call you cheap and ungrateful. You

won’t feel comfortable giving them more anyway. It’s pointless to do it since you can’t win.

“Screw them.

They did you wrong years ago, so don’t let them claim the moral high ground.” Zachary had to be tough

to take the helm of York Corporation.
