Chapter 539 In the kitchen, Zachary heard every last word of Grandma May’s conversation with
Serenity.
Zachary was accustomed to his nana’s favoritism toward Serenity.
Nana had been hoping for a granddaughter for far too long. Alas, she welcomed nine grandsons
instead.
Nana developed an instant liking for Serenity and saw Serenity as her own granddaughter. However,
the old lady changed her mind at the thought that her granddaughter would have to marry somebody
one day
Hence, Nana did everything in her power to make Serenity her granddaughter-in-law, so Serenity
would be with the Yorks forever.
Zachary washed the dishes and wiped the stove clean. He then cleaned the wiping cloth and washed
his hands before coming out of the kitchen.
Serenity got up to bring out his jacket and tie. Although she had not gotten the hang of putting a tie on
him, Zachary was flattered by her initiative.
Zachary felt it was worth it if washing the dishes could earn him a little sugar from the Inissus.
Grandma May was pleased with Serenity’s gesture, knowing that it was a reward for Zachary. Zachary
would be eating out the palm of her hand. It was all about the give-and-take between a couple for the
relationship to last a lifetime. Should only one party be doing the giving and the other doing the taking,
the giving party would be disheartened one day.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the shop. The shop was set up by Jasmine by then, but she paid no
heed to the Hunts.
Apart from Old Mr. Hunt who told Mike to get him a chair from the shop to sit on, the rest were either
standing or squatting at the shop entrance. They appeared to be impatient from all the waiting Only
God knew how many cigarettes John smoked.
After he sent an anonymous letter to Mr. York, John was certain he was going to join York Corporation.
Alas, he heard nothing back.
John would not even seek employment in other minor companies, much less York Corporation. No one
would give him a job.
Other than his unemployment, the whole family’s jobs and businesses took a huge hit as well. They
were losing sales to their competitors and going in the red,
John knew better than anyone else that it was the doing of the person backing Serenity.
He was scared.
John persuaded Granddad to swallow his pride and brought the rest of the family to make
peace with Serenity once more. Besides, they were also here to talk about Liberty and Hank’s divorce,
Mrs. Brown came to the hospital with a sum of money and asked for Old Mr. Hunt. She pleaded with
the Hunts to talk Liberty out of the divorce. Money talked. Old Mr. Hunt accepted the sum from Liberty’s
mother-in-law and took on the task. As requested, old Mr. Hunt took his children and grandchildren to
seek Serenity beforehand.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to keep your elders waiting?” Old Mr. Hunt laid it down to Serenity the
moment she got out of the car. Serenity and Zachary helped the abled old lady into the shop while
faintly replying, “I didn’t ask you to wait.” “Grandma May.” Getting up, Jasmine immediately pulled a
chair for the old lady to sit on.
She whispered to her best friend, “Seren, they did not come in peace. They’ve been waiting for a long
time. I guess they won’t leave until they see the money.’ Serenity patted Jasmine’s arm to comfort her.
