Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 104
Instead of retreating to her room, Serenity went to the balcony and sat on the swing as she stared at the flowers and stars in the
night. Having pulled herself together, Serenity got up and went to her room.
It was a quiet and peaceful night for the young couple.
Meanwhile, at the hospital , the Hunts were caught in a media hell storm.
The media circus which they had dragged Liberty and Serenity into did not impact greatly on the sisters. However, Serenity‘s
response to their tweet not only contained Liberty‘s account of the truth back then, but also the recording of the townspeople‘s
narration. Even the town council backed up Serenity‘s claims.
The Hunts‘ jobs, income, and residences were uncovered by resourceful netizens.
They lived in villas and had decent employment with annual incomes ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million. Now,
enough about the younger family members. Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had savings up to hundreds of thousands as well.
The Hunts family had more than enough to foot the grandmother‘s medical bills but they sought damages from the two
granddaughters instead. The netizens did
not take too kindly to the proofs, especially the phone conversation between Old Mr. Hunt and Serenity.
[The grandfather would rather guilt–trip his granddaughters into paying the bills than spend his own money. It‘s not like the family
doesn‘t have other
children. All their children are successful on their own, so why can‘t they pay up?)
(Why bring the granddaughters into the picture when they have children? Besides, the grandparents signed a contract that both
parties won‘t owe each other anything after getting the insurance money. They sure have the nerve to change the story to their
advantage.]
(Get a load of that voice recording. The grandfather must be joking. I can‘t believe he‘s demanding the granddaughters to pay for
gas and accommodation. The children should be caring for the sick parents in the hospital, not the granddaughters!) [It‘s
reasonable to expect the children and grandchildren to come together and chip in for the medical bill, but why were only their
granddaughters targeted? Never mind that the grandsons are not contributing with the funds, the grandfather wants the
granddaughters to reimburse the grandsons‘ gas and accommodation. Talk about discrimination against girls.]
(The guy named John is a senior executive at one of Stone Group‘s subsidiaries. The Stones should reconsider their hiring
policies.)
Once the netizens got information on the Hunts‘ jobs and incomes, Serenity‘s cousin, John received the most hate. John was not
all that innocent since he got his secretary to pen the storyline to his narrative.
There were users who tagged Stone Group‘s official handle.

The public was calling for John‘s dismissal. “The d*mn brats. They‘re trying to get my children and grandchildren in trouble.
Those girls will hear from me about this. Bastards! Ingrates! What‘s wrong with asking them to pay for their own grandmother‘s
medical bills? I don‘t see why I can‘t tell them off since they won‘t even visit or pay.”
Old Mr. Hunt was running his mouth in the ward.
Old Mrs. Hunt echoed her husband‘s opinion. All she could think of was to get out of the hospital and give the granddaughters an
earful or two.
The whole family came together at the hospital, cramming in the ward as they discussed their next plans. Mike was all over the
place. His friends were bitter that Mike twisted the story and put them in a difficult position. A few of his friends wanted to cut ties
with Mike, claiming he was a terrible human being.
“What do we do now, Mike?” Mike‘s father asked. “I read the comments. It‘s not looking good for us. How did the
public manage to dig out information on our jobs and incomes?”
“Everything else is not important , but John must keep his job. These nasty netizens are tweeting to Stone Group‘s official handle
, demanding that they fire John.”
John did not make it to the hospital because of his busy schedule. He would contact Mike directly for anything.
Since the reverse of public outrage, John went straight to hiring professional trolls to paint the family in a good light. He also
spent money to make Serenity‘s tweet disappear. It was strange that he could not reduce traffic on the tweet.
With every attempt of whitewashing the truth in the Hunts‘ favor, the professional trolls faced backlash from angry netizens and in
the end, the netizens‘ spite and fury overwhelmed them.
