“We have never been notified of any change to our family tree,” raising her voice, Serena questioned Old Mrs. Hunt.
The onlookers turned their heads to the source of the questioning.
With Serena walking alongside Zack in the protection of men in black, the crowd cleared a path toward the gate of Serena’s family home.
Liberty left Sonny in Jim’s care, so the boy could have a little play nearby.
She did not want Sonny to see her arguing with the old lady.
Escorted by a team of security, Mrs. Stone and her daughter followed Serena and her husband in the back.
Mrs. Stone did not look too happy.
She spent decades tracking her sister down, but a car accident sixteen years ago took her sister’s life.
Fortunately, her sister was survived by two daughters. Since Liberty took after her mother, Mrs. Stone could find solace when she stared at Liberty.
Mrs. Stone wanted to see the place her sister used to live and visit her grave to have a moment with her.
As her nieces had no idea where their parents’ graves were relocated to, Mrs. Stone had not been able to realize this dream.
Mrs. Stone had given her full support to her nieces to take back their parents’ possessions.
Old Mrs. Hunt’s words only made Mrs. Stone’s blood boil.
Both her sister and her husband had worked hard to build the house. Yet, these people took advantage of her nieces’ young ages, inexperience, and absence of power to occupy the house. The Hunts kicked the children out of the house and town.
Now that Serena and her sister were back for the house, the old hag was yakking about her sister’s adopted son being the rightful owner.
It was a blatant move to take possession of the house.
Mrs. Stone decided to get the whereabouts of Lisa’s and Scott’s graves out of them. As for the estate, there was no point arguing. The best way was to go to court.
The Stones and the Yorks were more than capable to help the sisters repossess their family home.
“Liberty and Serena are back.”
The onlookers recognized Serena because the latter had come last year to refute the damaging claims of their grandparents. She had met with everybody in town.
Liberty, having lost a lot of weight, was a spitting image of her mother.
“Liberty looks more and more like Lisa every day.”
Howden was Lisa’s maiden name and the family name of her adoptive parents. Lisa had another name before the adoption, and the only person who knew her name was Mrs. Stone.
“Serena, Liberty, you came back just in time. What’s this about? I’m telling you, the moment you left this house and this town, the house and fields belonged to us.
“My son left this house for us. The property belongs to us, so we can give it to whoever we want, but we won’t give it to you since you’re married into other families.”
Old Mrs. Hunt felt slightly guilty when she saw the sisters bringing many people over. When she was in the hospital, she had heard about how incredible Serena had become. Now, she also knew that Serena soared to the top and became the missus of a wealthy family.
This made Old Mrs. Hunt a little guilty. After all, she and her husband had forcibly occupied the house. Back then, taking advantage of the fact that the sisters were still underage and incapable, she even kicked them out.
Serena was only about twelve years old when she and her sister were booted out.
After Serena and Liberty were thrown out of the house, they would return to the town in the first few years to visit their parents’ graves. They also tried to live in their parents’ house again but were beaten and scolded by their grandparents with thick canes. The sisters were hit so hard that they did not dare return for a few years.
The two parties lost contact after that. It was not until Liberty was getting married did her grandparents receive the news and shamelessly ask the Browns for a betrothal gift of 300,000 dollars. Even so, Liberty refused and disallowed the Browns from fulfilling the request. She also shooed her grandparents away.
Following that, there was no news from their grandparents for about three more years.
When Old Mrs. Hunt fell ill, nobody wanted to pay for the medical expenses, so they remembered Serena and Liberty. They thought the sisters were doing well, so they reconnected with them.
Old Mrs. Hunt knew they had gone too far and that the people in town could not stand them. That said, those people did not dare offend her because she was feisty, shameless, and immoral.
Now that her interests were involved, Old Mrs. Hunt unleashed her shamelessness to the fullest again.
“I’ve never seen married daughters returning to their parents’ home to fight for a house,” Old Mrs. Hunt muttered.
When she was coldly stared at by Zack, she stopped yelling and mumbled softly instead.
She even stuck out her chest to boost her confidence. She was not afraid.
So what if Serena’s husband was the eldest son of the richest family? Could he take her house away by force?
In any case, this was Scott’s house. Scott was Old Mrs, Hunt’s son, and it was only right for the mother to inherit her son’s property.
“Grandmom, tell me, who did my parents adopt as their son when they were still around? You were shouting that this is your grandson’s house. Which grandson of yours owns this place?
“My sister and I have the right to inherit our parents’ house. We’ll fight for it if it’s ours and we don’t want any of it if it’s not, but we won’t yield if it belongs to us!” Serena coldly refuted Old Mrs. Hunt.
She even glanced at the others before approaching the truck driver and ordering, “Mr. Driver, dump this truck of bricks there. There’s an open space there.”
She instructed the truck driver to dump the bricks on the empty spot to the right of the entrance, which was also her family’s place.
When Serena and Liberty’s parents were still alive, they told the sisters to buy more housing land. The sisters would build two houses on the land when they grew up, so they could be neighbors who lived together. By having each other’s company, they could also support each other and would not be bullied by the townspeople.
“You’re not allowed to dump them here. You’re not allowed to-this is my house!”
Old Mrs. Hunt saw what was happening and immediately rushed over. She stood in the middle of the open space and spread her arms as she shouted, “Which one of you dare dump those bricks here? Crush me here if you dare!”
Zack waved his hand.
Following that, two bodyguards walked over and held Old Mrs. Hunt on each side. They took her away.
“What are you doing? What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Old Mrs. Hunt struggled desperately.
Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Hunt was only an old woman. She could not break free from the two bodyguards that were holding her.
The two bodyguards did not harm her and only took her away.
When the other members of the Hunts saw what was happening, they quickly rushed over. Nonetheless, both the Yorks’ and Stones’ security teams also moved forward simultaneously to block them out, disallowing them from getting close.
“They hit me, they hit me!”
Seeing as they were outnumbered, Old Mrs. Hunt plopped to the ground as soon as her feet touched the earth. She slapped her thigh while shouting that she was being hit.
Despite that, the people in town only gathered to watch and did not get close.
Someone was also taking videos of them.
