Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 141
Serenity chuckled and said, “I heard Granddad and Grandmom are doing well in the hospital; eating well, sleeping well, and
coming down on me pretty hard too. They don‘t seem to think they‘re in the wrong. Are you sure they want to apologize to me?”
Mike wanted to jump to his grandparents‘ defense, but no words came out of his mouth.
Grandmom and Granddad did not genuinely accept their faults. Instead, the Hunt family persuaded them to do so. The family
wanted to put everything behind them before things got more out of hand for them.
With both parties‘ reconciliation, the public interest would soon wane and they would be distracted by the latest trending news. It
would not be long before the netizens forgot about the Hunts, and the family would have their peace back.
If there was one thing the Hunts learned, it was that the internet was a powerful force that worked like a double edged sword.
While the internet could be a tool to attack someone, those who abused it would suffer devastating consequences when their
actions backfired on them.
“Now, if there‘s nothing, I‘d like you all to leave. Don‘t crowd my place and get in the way of my business.‘
Serenity showed them the door, refusing to engage with them any further.
The Hunt boys scowled.
Standing in a corner, Jasmine and Shawn gave them a warning look.
A while later, John said, “Serenity , you should learn to forgive and forget. Don‘t burn your bridges.” Turning on his heel, John
walked out.
John was the brightest among his family members in the same age group. In fact, he was the most accomplished out of
everybody in his town.
Praise and flattery followed him everywhere back in his hometown. With Serenity putting him in the spot, John was not going to
stand there and take the humiliation.
John resented Serenity and believed she had no regard for family. They were cousins, for goodness‘ sake! The whole family was
close when Serenity‘s parents were still around. However, Serenity and Liberty started clashing with the rest of the family after
the passing of their parents.

Serenity would jump at John‘s throat if she knew what was on his mind.
The Hunts knew better than anyone else the reason Serenity and Liberty drifted apart from them.
He sure had the nerve to put the blame on the sisters!
The Hunt brothers and cousins drove away in their cars. Apart from Noal who was too young to get a driving license, the rest
brought their own vehicle. There were a total of seven cars.
In the same fashion they came, it was quite a bustle when they left too.
The cheapest car among them cost two to three hundred thousand dollars. John drove a Mercedes Benz worth over a million
bucks.
“They‘re unbelievable , Serenity. Don‘t be quick to kiss and make up. Let them sit in dread for days and dwell in their undoing
before you consider a reconciliation. Otherwise, they‘ll take you for a pushover and think that a fake apology could cancel out all
the bad they‘ve done to you. They will still try to take advantage of you the next time.”
Having read Serenity‘s post on Twitter , Shawn‘s heart went out to Serenity.
Shawn hated himself for his being young as he had only entered the workforce and could barely stand on his two feet. He was
incapable of being shoulder Serenity could lean Oni yet
If he had the influence, status, and finesse possessed by the heir of the Yorks, Shawn would make the Hunts‘ lives
a living hell.
“I won‘t patch things up with them so easily. It‘s not like they genuinely want to make peace anyway. They only came looking for
me because the netizens put the heat on them. Not to mention, they must live with the repercussions. They‘d rather die than
admit they‘re wrong if it weren‘t for the retribution in their lives now.”
The Hunts did not think they were in the wrong the whole time. They believed Serenity should foot the medical bill now that Old
Mrs. Hunt was sick. They expected Serenity to pay for gas and travel expenses as they accompanied Old Mrs. Hunt all the way
to the city and visited her too.
Since Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt occupied Serenity‘s family home, it gave an illusion to the Hunts that Serenity‘s family should be
responsible for the old folks. Serenity‘s family should be the ones paying for everything.

As for whatever happened in the past, the Hunts chose to forget about it.
“Honestly, I wouldn‘t believe such people exist in the world if I hadn‘t seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears. I‘m not just
talking about one or two. The entire family is bizarre.”
Jasmine had never seen anything like it. It was mind blowing:
