chapter 186

Chapter 186 It was rumored that Ms. Stone was enamored with Mr. York. She was furious that the Hunts had overshadowed her moment when her name finally appeared alongside Mr. York’s in the trending news.

Ms. Stone did not present herself as an heiress; she acted as if she had never encountered a man in her life! It was appalling that Ms. Stone repeatedly undermined the Hunts just to attract a man.

Despite the Hunts’ efforts to unite and collaborate, they were powerless against Ms. Stone.

After moving to the city and enduring a series of unpleasant experiences, Old Mr. Hunt came to realize that the world was much larger than he had previously understood.

He believed his grandson was impressive and remarkable, yet there were individuals out there who were ten times more capable, if not more.

“How did this happen? Wasn’t everything agreed upon and in motion? Your uncle and I prepared the script for a show during the mediation to demonstrate to the public that we recognized our mistakes, while Serenity would appear to be the one holding a grudge by refusing to reconcile.

But now you’re telling me it’s canceled?” Old Mr. Hunt’s eldest son, Stuart, inquired anxiously.

“What did John say? Is the mediator refusing to assist?” John mentioned a few additional things on the phone before his father ended the call.

Chris turned to Stuart and said, “No mediators are stepping forward. Our best option now is to set aside our pride and pay Serenity a few more visits.

John took the younger ones there last time. You know how young people can be. They can be impulsive. Noah even threatened to smash Serenity’s shop. He wasn’t there to reconcile, and I believe he only made things worse.

“Stuart, we should discuss this with everyone.”

We, the…

The adults should personally apologize to Serenity. Perhaps we can persuade her to delete the tweet and post an update indicating that we have resolved our differences. This is the only way we can extricate ourselves from this mess. The influence of the internet exceeded anything they had ever encountered, and the situation had spiraled out of control. Sigh. If they had known, the Hunts would not have adopted this approach; they would have sought financial compensation from Serenity at her workplace instead.

It was probably a better strategy—“I guess we don’t have any other choice.” Serenity was unaware of the Hunts’ new attempt to reconcile, and it didn’t matter to her. While her relatives might wish to mend fences, Serenity was not willing to budge or part with her money. The Hunts had taken a significant portion of her parents’ life insurance payout and occupied her parents’ home and land without taking care of Serenity and Liberty. Now that the Hunts needed financial help, they expected Serenity to cover hundreds of thousands in Old Mrs. Hunt’s medical bills. Serenity might consider offering a small amount to Old Mrs. Hunt if her relatives were struggling, but the Hunts were wealthier than she was. Why should she be responsible for the medical expenses?

When afternoon arrived, Serenity prepared lunch and waited for her sister to join her. As she thought about the man who had tried to silence her with money, Serenity briefly contemplated inviting Zachary over to join them for lunch. She told Jasmine, “Jasmine, I’m going to bring my man over for lunch. Please watch the shop. When my sister arrives, tell her that Sonny has already eaten.” Sonny had soft-boiled vegetables and a little formula before heading off for a nap. Jasmine teased, “Ah, I see Mr. York is on your mind when…”

You have delicious food to share. It seems your relationship with him is progressing positively. “He’s the one supporting me and covering all my living expenses.” He should definitely try the food I prepare. “I’ll take a cab there and catch a ride back with him.” “Hurry up.” “I’ll be here,” Jasmine replied, feeling happy for her best friend as she made progress in her marriage. Serenity then headed to York Corporation. She only called Zachary once she arrived. At that moment, Zachary, Josh, and several senior executives were discussing business with an important client when Serenity’s call came in. Furrowing his brow, Zachary paused briefly before answering.
