Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 295
John paused before asking Serenity, “What do you want us to do, Serenity?”
As the oldest of the bunch, Mike lectured Serenity,” Regardless of our spats in the past, we‘re all one big family. Although your
dad isn’t around anymore, he‘s still my uncle.
“Sure, it was our fault, but we have learned from our mistakes. You‘re the bigger person. Please find it in you to forgive us. We
promise we won‘t ever do that to you and your sister again.”
Thanks to the power of the internet, it was easy and speedy to get a handle on certain matters.
However, it was also easy for the tables to turn and caused a backfire.
Today, Mike could use the internet to intimidate his cousins, but tomorrow, it would be his turn to face a public backlash.
People would find it hard to understand the humiliation of being a victim of cyberbullying, hate comments from netizens, and
public criticism without experiencing it themselves.
Since Serenity tweeted a refute, the Hunts had the whole thing blow up in their faces. They either lost their jobs, suffered great
losses in their businesses, or faced cancellations on agreed deals. Furthermore, their names were tarnished.
The Hunts had gone through sleepless nights lately. Of course, they were mostly peeved and furious. They were losing sleep,
thinking of ways to get back at Serenity and Liberty. Serenity scoffed coldly. “I’m vile, spiteful, and petty. You did
what you did to put the bite on me and my sister. You couldn‘t get what you wanted and chose to yield because the tables had
turned.
“Hang on. No. You‘re not yielding. You came to apologize today because the netizens are on your case, and it has been
detrimental to your financial interest. You‘re here today to protect your assets, not because you feel guilty for whatever you have
done.”
Did they take her for a fool?
Did they think she would not be able to see through their plans?
The first time the Hunt boys came to make peace and wanted Serenity to visit Old Mrs. Hunt, they were going to take a video of
the whole reconciliation so the world would know and move on. The attention would no longer be on them.
After Serenity rejected their peace offering, Noah threatened to smash her shop. Holding a grudge, Noah brought along
hooligans to stop her in the middle of the road and get violent with her. Serenity would have ended up in the hospital if she had
not practiced self–defense.
Her uncles had kicked up a fuss because she called the cops to arrest Noah.
Serenity did not believe that these no–good relatives had repented. They had the mindset that they were always right while
Serenity was in the wrong. “Serenity, aren‘t we sincere enough?” As a senior executive of Stone Group‘s subsidiary company
with an annual income of over a million bucks, John became a stuck-up as he was often
surrounded by flattery and brown–nosing from his employees. He did not have much patience either.

Pointing at the fruit baskets, he pulled a sour face and said, “ Can‘t you see how many fruit baskets we have given you? Do you
know how much one basket costs? You probably wouldn‘t spend that much on a fruit basket.
“Yet, we gave you so many. How can you question our sincerity? You‘re pushing your luck, Serenity. Is this the thanks we get?
Don‘t think for a second that we can’t get to you. We‘re only trying to reconcile because your dead father is our uncle, and we
don‘t want Granddad and Grandmom to be angry since they‘re not getting any younger.”
