Chapter 1199
“That’s right, Serenity. Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren’t for you, Lucas and Sonny might’ve... I won’t continue living
if something happens to the two children.”
Mrs. Brown felt thankful toward Serenity too.
Serenity said, “Mrs. Brown, Chelsea, you thanked me yesterday. Sonny is my nephew. I’ll surely protect him well.”
No matter how naughty Lucas was, she could not stand by and leave him either.
In that situation, anyone who had the ability would not choose to abandon them.
“We should be thanking you. Do you have time, Serenity? We want to treat you to a meal,” Chelsea asked with a smile. “Invite
your sister too. I’ll treat you two to a meal. By the way, you have two bodyguards. Are they outside? I want to thank them
personally too.”
“Chelsea, you can treat them instead of us. Milo, Harry, come in for a second.”
Serenity had but only ordered the bodyguards to save the children. The ones who actually saved Lucas were them. It was only
right that the Browns thanked them personally.
The bodyguards came in after hearing Serenity calling them.
“Missus,” they greeted Serenity respectfully.
She said, “Chelsea and her family are here to thank you two for rescuing Lucas yesterday. She bought all these things as a
token of gratitude. Both of you can accept them.”
Serenity did not want to accept the gifts from the Browns but she did not want to miss the opportunity of making them use their
money either. Since the ones who saved Lucas were the two bodyguards, the gifts would go to them.
“You two are our saviors. Thank you so much for yesterday.”
The Browns were eternally grateful to the bodyguards. They gave half of the gifts to them. and left the other half for Serenity.
Chelsea even took out several envelopes of money to be given to Serenity and the two bodyguards. Serenity declined, but she
allowed Milo and Harry to accept Chelsea’s
envelopes.
After staying for some time, the Browns decided not to disturb Serenity anymore. However, they bumped into Old Mr. Hunt, who
had come from the Hunts‘ hometown, at the bookstore’s entrance.
Old Mr. Hunt had two of his sons and two grandchildren with him. The five of them spanned three generations. They came over
in John’s luxury car.
They undoubtedly came for the assets Scott and his wife had left behind.
When Serenity and Liberty returned to their hometown, they brought so many people with them that the entire neighborhood
knew about it. No, the whole town was aware.
Serenity and Liberty stated that they would file a lawsuit. After understanding the law through his grandchildren, Old Mr. Hunt
knew that he and his wife would not get much of the assets. He got anxious.
The properties Scott and his wife left behind did not worth much, but they were huge. Housing lands in farming areas could be
inherited by children and grandchildren. As such, the housing lands were worth a lot of money.
It was also mainly because Old Mr. Hunt was unconvinced.
He thought that his son and daughter–in–law were already dead, and they only left behind two daughters. A married daughter
was like splashed water–how could they return to fight for their family’s inheritance?
The housing lands and farmlands should have been inherited by Old Mr. Hunt and his wife. They could give the land to
whomever they wanted.
Old Mr. Hunt did not understand anything about the laws of descent and distribution.
He only learned that he and his wife would not get much inheritance if they were to fight a lawsuit. After discussing it with his
wife, children, and grandchildren, he started making a fuss about Scott’s background.
Scott was dead anyway, and there was no proof. He would not feel sad even if Old Mr. Hunt said he was not a true child of the
Hunt family.
Old Mr. Hunt hoped that Serenity and Liberty would give up on filing and fighting a lawsuit. It would take a lot of time, and money
was required to hire lawyers as well. He thought it was too troublesome.
