Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 873
“Just you wait. I’ll kick up a fuss at your husband’s office and demand that he forks out the money. Otherwise, I’ll ask your in–
laws instead. You won’t be able to show face there. Your in–laws will find you an eyesore and kick you out!” threatened
Old Mr. Hunt.
your
That was what he intended to do.
Prior to coming, his grandsons showed him the ropes in case Serenity and Liberty hated their guts too much to pay up.
Now that Serenity was Mrs. York, she must want to keep up with her appearance
more than ever.
Serenity would pay them hush money for the sake of her in–laws‘ reputation if they brazenly cause a commotion.
The Hunts could make a racket at Zachary’s office or the Yorks‘ family home if Serenity refused to give them money. Serenity
was not on good terms with them, but it did not change the fact that they were family. Their existence would be an
embarrassment to Serenity regardless.
Serenity was unlikely to gain a foothold since she married into the York family as a nobody. Heck, her in–laws probably did not
like her. The Hunt’s public blow–up was a surefire way to make a fool out of the Yorks while intensifying the conflict between
her and the Yorks.
It might lead to Zachary divorcing Serenity.
John suggested to Old Mr. Hunt that they test the waters with Serenity here. They could come back for more if Serenity was
willing to pay the hush money. The Yorks were wealthy anyway. The whole family could indulge in the good life for a while, and
all they had to do was ask every time they were low on cash.
Of course, they came prepared in the event Serenity refused to give them the money -they would go ahead and contact the
press to furtively take videos of them causing a commotion at York Corporation or the Yorks‘ residence and publish the videos
online. They bet the Yorks would be furious, and Serenity would take the brunt of their anger.

The Hunts had nothing to lose since they were without jobs anyway. They were here for the long run and would make things
difficult for Serenity until she was driven out of the York family.
Why should Serenity relish in her role as Mrs. York when their lives were a living hell right now?
“You don’t have to go to my office. I’m right behind you.”
A husky and flat tone was heard.
Old Mr. Hunt cocked his head to see it was Zachary. His sons and grandsons appeared frightened as Zachary’s security details
shut them out.
God knew when Zachary arrived.
How much of the conversation had he overheard?
Zachary always had the habit of waking up early, but now that his wife was no longer on the other side of the bed, he was up
before the sun rose. He then went to his sister -in–law’s place to wait for Serenity downstairs.
Despite the long wait, Serenity was nowhere to be found. It was not until his sister–in- law emerged together with Sonny that
Zachary realized Serenity was already at the shop.
Hence, he quickly made his way to Wiltspoon School.
While on the way, he bought a bouquet of roses from a florist.
As he was approaching, Zachary noticed the few cars parked outside the shop. There was a crowd standing at the door. Thanks
to his keen eyes and good memory, Zachary was able to identify the lot from afar.
It was the money–hungry Hunt family.
His mother brought the Hunts up yesterday, worried that the family would come to demand money from Serenity after finding out
who he was.
It never occurred to him that this absurd family came first thing in the morning to
harass his wife.

There were no boundaries to Old Mr. Hunt’s crudeness.
Were Serenity and her sister not Old Mr. Hunt’s granddaughters?
Why was the old man always trying to bleed the sisters dry?
Serenity would never turn her back on Old Mr. Hunt if he asked nicely and was drowning under the high cost of living. At least,
she would offer a bit to cover the living expenses.
Nevertheless, the Hunts were doing well. Sure, Zachary had driven them out of
business and caused their job losses, but the Hunts had put away a lot of money in the bank. Their savings were enough to carry
them through the years even if they were booted out of their careers.
Yet, all they wanted was to mooch off Serenity and Liberty as if the girls were not family, or worse, people.
