Chapter 118
Just then, she could hear her grandfather’s goading voice through the phone saying, “Why haven’t you
told Serenity to rush over to the police station and tell them to release her uncles and the rest?!”
“Release them? Why should they be released?! They committed the crimes themselves, so they should
be locked away for as long as they deserve!
“Have you forgotten that they’re your children?! How could you take the side of someone with a
different surname?!
“What do you mean ‘someone with a different sumame?! She’s my granddaughter! Since her mother’s
gone, it’s my job as her grandmother to support her!”
“Aren’t you worried that no one will take care of you when you get old and frail if you act this way? Or
are you that granddaughter of yours who’s been in prison before to take care of you?!”

“I’m just glad that you’re okay, Serenity. As for your uncles, aunt, and cousins, they must’ve been

case. Just let them be locked up for as long as they deserve!”

because of it when her grandma had taken her hand and asked her to take her to the bullies.
She had told her, “Don’t cry, Serenity. Grandma’s here, and I’ll help you. We will never bully anyone,
but we won’t let others bully us either!”
Her grandmother would take her to the bullies and talk to them, but if talking did not settle anything, she
would roll up her sleeves and take matters into her own hands. She might have been a brash woman,
but Grandma was always the most adorable and admirable person in Serenity’s eyes. To others,
Serenity was just an orphan whose mother had died and whose father had remarried, after which she
had become an unwanted child.
Nevertheless, in Grandma’s eyes, Serenity was her precious baby.
Grandma would often say, “Once our girl grows up, I’ll be riding on her coattails and live happily ever
after!”

Serenity turned to the man in front of her, and though her sight was clouded by her tears, she shook
her head.
This did not reassure him at all. In fact, it made him even more concerned about her now.
“What’s the matter, Sis? What made you cry like this? just tell me, Sis. I can help you make the
problem go away non what it is.”
