“Are you playing cards?”
Serena glanced inside. “I want to negotiate with you. It’s the same reason you all came here.”
At Serena’s words, Old Mr. Hunt slammed his cards on the bed and jumped. He put on his shoes and shouted, “Negotiate? What’s there to negotiate? Serena, your last name isn’t Hunt. Your dad isn’t my biological son. We adopted him and raised him into an adult, but he left without even repaying us. The house he left behind will be taken as his gratitude to us.”
Old Mr. Hunt put on his shoes and strode over to Serena, wanting to scold her. However, when he saw Zack standing beside her with a frosty expression, he did not dare point his finger at Serena.
The most exceptional man in Wiltspoon was his grandson–in–law, but he did not enjoy the blessings that came with being Zack’s grandfather–in–law. Instead, along with his sons. and grandsons, he suffered heavy losses because of Zack.
“Your father isn’t my son, Serena! You’re not my grandchild either. We’re not related by blood, yet you still have the nerve to fight for property with an old man like me. I’m telling you, I won’t negotiate. I won’t move out of the house even if I lose the lawsuit.”
After his grandsons told him about the law, he also learned that going to court would be bad for him.
That was why he tried to say that his son was not his biological child.
Serena did not rush to refute him or take out the report. She asked calmly, “Did Noah pull out a few strands of your hair a few days ago?”
“I don’t know what was up with that brat. He said I had a lot of white hair and wanted to pluck some of them out. I gave him a tight slap.”
After Old Mr. Hunt complained about Noah, he suddenly realized something. “How did you know that?”
Serena said, “Because I was the one who told him to pluck your hair.” Why do you
“You told him to do it? Are you mad?
want to pluck my hair? How could that runt obey your orders? Serena, did you give Noah a lot of benefits?”
She gave his youngest grandson benefits but not to her own grandfather. Sure enough, there was no point in raising a girl. She did not know how to take care of her grandfather after getting rich.
“I heard you spread rumors saying my dad wasn’t your biological child. My dad died more than ten years ago, so he can’t refute the accusations. As his daughter, I have to refute it for him.
“According to inheritance law, mom and you can inherit a part of Dad’s assets. The results will be the same whether we go to court or negotiate. You wouldn’t have gotten into to court or negotiate. You wouldn’t have gotten into this situation if you weren’t this greedy.”
Serena took out the DNA test result. “I told Noah to pluck your hair to do a DNA test. Dad can’t get a DNA test done with you, but it’ll be the same if I do it instead. I just came from obtaining the results today.
“The results show that we’re related by blood. You might not know what that means, but your grandsons will. Go ahead and ask your grandsons to explain it to you.”
The Hunt family was speechless.
“Do you still want to insist that my dad isn’t your biological child? My parents treated you and Grandmom so well when they were alive. Are your hearts made of stone? How could you say that my dad isn’t your son just because you want to give my house to your second grandson?
“To be honest, I hoped my dad wasn’t your biological son. That way, I might be able to understand. The way you’re so heartless and ruthless to my sister and me is as if you’re not our grandparents.
Old Mr. Hunt looked at the report, then at Serena, and turned his head to look at his children and grandchild. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He knew very well whether or not Scott was his flesh and blood.
However, they thought they could say whatever they wanted since Scott passed away more than a decade ago. Scott could not come back and refute their words anyway.
“Mike, what’s a DNA test?”
Old Mr. Hunt was tongue–tied for a while before asking Mike.
Mike looked a little ashen. When his grandparents started spreading those rumors, he already knew that it would not work. That was because a simple DNA test would prove the rumor wrong.
His grandparents refused to listen. They said Serena could not do anything as long as they refused to get a blood test done.
Unexpectedly, Serena used Noah to pluck Old Mr. Hunt’s hair and had a DNA test done. Now that the results were out, what else could they say?
“Serena, give me some time to talk with Granddad,” Mike spoke to Serena, then closed the door and pulled his grandfather back into the room.
Ten minutes later, Mike opened the door again and said, “Call your sister. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk about this. We’ll settle this today.”
They would stop causing trouble.
They were the ones being unreasonable in this situation.
Serena had the York family as her backer now, so they could not fight back at all. Furthermore, Serena was in the right.
Mike persuaded his granddad to come to an agreement with Serena and Liberty regarding the house.
“Okay,” Serena agreed.
If negotiation was on the table, she wanted it. She did not want to waste time on a lawsuit.
An hour later, Zack arranged a private room in Wiltspoon Hotel for the Hunt family to talk.
Liberty brought Sonny with her.
Old Mr. Hunt called John back too. He was fighting for Scott’s house because he wanted John to inherit it. John had always been his favorite grandson, so he liked to discuss everything with John.
After hearing that Serena used their youngest cousin to get a DNA test done with Old Mr. Hunt in advance, John was cognizant that continuing their actions would only paint them.
-ás clowns.
There was a mishap with Harriet’s cosmetic surgery too. She was supposed to change her face to Serena’s, but she came out looking like their other cousin instead…
It would be hard to carry out the plan of Harriet replacing Serena as the missus of the York family.
The Hunt family was no match for the Yorks. Furthermore, there were many people in the York family.
The young men of the York family were all giants among men. They had the highest status. in all of Wiltspoon.
The Hunts were unreconciled and wanted to bully Serena and her sister but only ended up humiliating themselves. The two sisters had powerful backers now. Even if they did not, with their temperament, they would still go to court in order to get the house back.
From the beginning, the Hunt family was fighting a losing battle.
“Serena and Liberty, you two have spread your roots in Wiltspoon and are living well now. You probably won’t go back to the village to live. Name a price. Sell the house your parents left behind to us.”
Mike spoke first. “If you don’t want to sell it, then give some money to Grandmom and Granddad as per their share, and they’ll give up the estate. The house will belong to you and your sister, but let our grandparents stay there until they pass. They’ve lived there for many years and are used to the house.”
Frankly, they just did not want to take in Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt to live in their own villas.
Firstly, their wives did not get along with Old Mrs. Hunt and were prone to conflicts.
Secondly, the two elders did not take care of their hygiene; the youngsters felt that Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were dirty. They were also afraid that both of them would die in their villas and taint the property.
In any case, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had always lived with Scott. After Scott and his wife died, they continued to stay in Scott’s house, so just let them live in that house until they passed too.
