Chapter 140
Serenity’s youngest cousin was only seventeen or eighteen years old, an age where impulsiveness and passion often dominate.
He also had a terrible temper. When Serenity refused to go to the hospital or delete her post, he became angry and threatened to vandalize her bookstore.
Serenity fixed him with a cold stare. “Don’t you dare!”
Her gaze was stern and frosty, and her icy words exuded an authoritative presence that caused the Hunt brothers to instinctively shrink back.
“Noah.” Mike turned to glare at the youngest cousin. When Noah fell silent, Mike turned back to Serenity with a smile. “Serenity, please don’t be upset with Noah. That’s just how he expresses himself.
“As John mentioned earlier, we are still close cousins. Regardless of the situation, we are family. What do you gain from humiliating us? We acknowledge our mistake in this matter and sincerely apologize. Let’s put the past behind us, shall we?
“You don’t need to worry about any financial compensation. All we ask is that you visit Grandmom. She really wants to see you. Recently, both Grandmom and Granddad have been feeling guilty about how they treated you in the past. They believe they let your parents down.
“Serenity, none of us are perfect; we all make mistakes. What matters is that we recognize them. Our grandparents are old and understand their faults. Please give them the chance to make amends and apologize to you.”

In truth, they all regretted their actions.
If they had known that Serenity was so strong-willed and capable of airing the family’s dirty laundry in retaliation, they would never have resorted to such tactics. They ended up being
They suffered a significant setback. They believed that the Hunt sisters valued their reputation and that no one would come to the sisters’ aid. However, they never anticipated that so many people would support Serenity and Liberty when the tables were turned. Instead, they found themselves on the receiving end of severe consequences.
Given their family circumstances and income, each of them only needed to contribute a small amount to cover their grandmother’s medical expenses. Even if they chose not to, their grandparents had hundreds of thousands in savings, more than enough to settle the medical bills.
Ultimately, they simply did not want to spend their own money and instead wanted to make the Hunt sisters bear the costs.
In the end, the losses far outweighed any potential gains. In fact, they gained nothing at all—only a face full of dust. They had no choice but to confront Serenity in person, apologize to her, and plead for her mercy.
Despite their deep resentment towards her, they realized they would have to wait until this situation was resolved before seeking their revenge. Outwardly, they had to pretend to seek reconciliation with her.
