The crowd could see the truth for themselves. They saw clearly that the people brought by Serena only carried Old Mrs. Hunt away and did not hurt her at all.
Old Mrs. Hunt was probably trying to blame the other party.
The person recording the video thought he ought to film the whole thing so when Old Mrs. Hunt and her family tried to distort the truth later on, he would release the video for everyone to see. This was so they could avoid what happened last year, where things were turned upside down and two orphans were harmed.
Under Serena’s command, truckloads of bricks, sand, and gravel were dumped in front of her house’s open space.
In actuality, Serena knew once they were to leave town, the outrageous people in her hometown would move the building materials away. It would not matter regardless-she was only using this to kick off her fight for the house.
“Quick, call your granddad and the others.”
Old Mrs. Hunt slapped her thigh so hard that it turned red, but no one in town stood up for her. She stopped slapping her thigh and got up from the ground. While patting the mud and dust off her pants, she shouted at her grandchildren.
She asked them to call their husbands, as well as her eldest sons and grandsons to hurry home.
In their big family, Old Mrs. Hunt’s eldest two grandsons were the most powerful.
Noah was in the crowd. He wanted to step forward but remembered how powerful Serena was, so he stopped in his tracks and did not dare rush to the fore.
Besides, Serena came prepared today. Zack’s bodyguards were all tall and fierce. They were first- class in boxing.
Mrs. Stone had also brought the most powerful bodyguards here.
As such, Noah was even more afraid of standing up for his grandmom.
He shrank behind his mother and watched his elders argue with his cousins.
“Liberty, Serena, you’re unfilial granddaughters-you’re very unfilial! Everyone, come and look at my unfilial granddaughters. It’s fine that they’re not paying to support me now that I’m old, but now that they know I’m sick, they’re hoping that I’ll die soon. They came back to rob me of my house!
“Why wouldn’t lightning strike my unfilial granddaughters to death?! God, open your eyes and see. I have two unfilial granddaughters here. They don’t give me money, they don’t support me, and they don’t pay for my medical expenses when I’m sick. Now, they’re snatching my house and kicking me out!
“God, please come and strike them with lightning. They’re too unfilial. They deserve to die!”
Old Mrs. Hunt kept cursing.
Serena walked over.
Old Mrs. Hunt was shocked, so she took two steps back and questioned her defensively, “W-what are you going to do? Did I say anything wrong? You’re unfilial!”
Serena sneered, “When my parents just died 16 years ago, we got 1.2 million dollars in compensation. You and Granddad along with your children and grandchildren crowded our house to the point where we didn’t even have a place to stand.
“You forced me and my sister to hand over the money, saying that you had a share of it. It’s true that you and Granddad had a share of the money, but how much did you take?
“Back then, in order to get more money from my parents’ insurance payout, you stated that Liberty and I don’t need to support you on behalf of our father while you’re alive, and that we don’t need to hold funerals for you when you pass. We don’t need to sustain you in life and bury you in death. It was written in black and white..
“Perhaps you’ve destroyed your copy, but the other copy is well-kept by Liberty. I believe the town committee has also kept a copy. The townspeople who were witnesses are still here today. Should we ask them to confront you?
“Does the house belong to you? My dad’s name is still written on the title deed. You and Granddad indeed have a share of what my parents left behind, but you can’t inherit everything. Liberty and I have a share of those things too!
“As for what you said about adopting a son for my parents, did they agree to it? Has John called my parents Dad and Mom? He’s still calling his parents Dad and Mom! Did you think that by stopping us from visiting our parents’ graves and letting him pay his respect to them every year qualify him for the entirety of my parents’ inheritance?
“In your dreams!”
Serena added coldly, “Grandmom, go ahead and call Granddad and the others back. Liberty and I returned today for our parents’ inheritance. Call them back so we can split everything clearly!
“Again, we won’t yield if they belong to us, and we won’t fight for what doesn’t belong to us!”
“Serena!”
Old Mrs. Hunt jumped in anger. She pointed at Serena and cursed, “You’re daughters. What right do daughters have to inherit a family’s property? Your father was my son. Since he passed away, his family property is ours!
“Get out of here! What right do married daughters have to come back to their parents’ home to fight for their family property? Are you not ashamed of yourselves? In any case, your father is dead. Everything he left behind is mine. I’m not afraid of the people you brought. You can’t take the house away unless you beat us to our deaths!
“What agreement? What money? My son died, so his insurance payout belongs to me and my husband. You were just little girls. We showed our mercy when we gave you 200,000 dollars to live and not let you starve to death.
“I don’t remember signing any agreement. You’re extremely unfilial for not supporting me and paying for rny treatments. I’m telling you, if you don’t give us money, we’ll haunt you even after we turn into ghosts!”
Old Mrs. Hunt thought of the fact that Serena was now the missus of the richest family and had lots of money, so she denied the agreement she had signed back then. She had long been shameless anyway
She would strive to get some benefits for her grandsons first.
As long as Serena was willing to give her money, she would let her grandsons start their own businesses.
Since Serena’s in-laws were very rich, it would not be a problem for her to give them a few million dollars, right?
“Old Mrs. Hunt, that’s not right. Back then, everyone in town knew about and witnessed the agreement you signed with Serena and Liberty. The Howdens were present as well. Do you think you can deny it now?”
The person who intervened was Mrs. Deli.
She was the closest to Lisa.
When Scott and Lisa passed away, Mrs. Deli sympathized with and pitied Liberty and Serena. However, she was too weak to help them and could only watch them being shooed away.
Now that Serena and Liberty were capable enough to come back to reclaim their parents’ property, Mrs. Deli fully supported them.
“Yeah, it was you who said that they don’t need you to support you while you’re alive or handle your funerals when you pass. You didn’t raise them in the first place, so how could you be so shameless as to ask them for money? Your sons and grandsons benefitted so much. Why don’t you ask them for money instead?
“Your whole family made a fortune from taking advantage of their misfortune, yet you’re bullying the orphaned girls. Your family has gone too far, so you should be struck by lightning instead. You’re old now. How many more years can you live? You’re not even afraid of going to the depths of hell after death, never to be reborn.”
Even though the people in town opined that married daughters should not return home to fight for their family property, they felt that Old Mrs. Hunt and her people were too much. They could not help but intervene.
“They’re all shameless people, to begin with. All of them are rich, live in big villas, and drive luxurious cars. John even has an annual salary of a million dollars. When Old Mrs. Hunt was sick, none of them paid for the expenses and wanted Liberty and her sister to pay instead.
“They only reap the benefits and let the sisters bear responsibility when something is wrong. Do they take the sisters as fools?”
Everyone in the Hunts’ hometown knew about the scandal as a result of the trending topic last year.
Many of them learned to surf the internet to support Serena and her sister online. They exposed the cruelness and shamelessness of Old Mrs. Hunt and her family!
Later, after learning that John and the others lost their jobs due to the backfire of the trending topic, the people in town felt that it was karma.
“Busybodies!”
Liberty said loudly, “The townspeople aren’t being busybodies. They’re righteous and are telling the truth!”
Zack silently stood by Serena’s side and quietly supported her without saying a word. Nonetheless, when he coldly stared at the Hunts with his sharp gaze, those people who usually rampaged in town felt guilty and did not dare talk too much.
Old Mrs. Hunt was the only one who was taking advantage of her seniority, so she continued to make desperate struggles and yelled about.
Her feistiness was useless against Serena and the others.
Mrs. Stone came forward and stood next to Serena and her sister. Her gaze was cold as well. She had helped her husband manage Stone Group when she was young. Now, her strong legacy remained in Wiltspoon’s business world.
