Chapter 240
“Sure, let’s call them.”
Stuart also felt that it was better to have more people on their side and agreed with David to call his son and nephew.
Unexpectedly, when David called his eldest nephew, Mike, he received news from Mike instead. “Uncle David, I was just about to call you. Something happened to Noah.”
David’s face turned ashen, and he quickly asked, “What happened to Noah? He said he went to ask Serenity for money. Did she beat him up? If that damned girl dares to touch a single hair on my boy, I’ll end her! i’ll go back and dig up her mother’s grave!” Serenity’s father was David’s third brother, so David would not dig up his grave. However, his third sister-in-law was not related to him by blood. Since Serenity angered him, he would dig up his third sister-in-law’s grave for real.
“Noah brought a few punks to intercept Serenity’s car in the middle of the night. They also brought iron bars and wanted to smash her car, but she fought back. The punks and Noah are being detained now. I just got the news too.” “He’s detained? It’s just a conflict between siblings. Why did she call the police? That girl is so cruel. How could she call the cops on Noah? Mike, can you bail Noah out? He’s still young. He’s just a child. He’ll be traumatized by this.”
When David thought that his niece had called the cops to arrest his son, he was first extremely furious.
Then, he was worried that his son would be frightened and thought of bailing him out as soon as possible “Noah was acting impulsive too when we paid a visit to Serenity. We’re at a disadvantage now, so we can’t try to use force against her, but Noah went ahead and caused trouble with her instead. There must be someone backing Serenity from the shadows. We can’t act rashly until we know who it is.”
Mike said to his youngest uncle, “Uncle David, you should have persuaded Noah. We haven’t shown any kindness to Serenity or her sister. There are only grudges between us, and she hates our family to the bone. It’s futile to use the family card on her.”
Everyone wanted to make Serenity fork out the money, and Mike did not mind since it was wonderful to have someone as a sucker. In fact, he knew in his heart that his family had really gone too far with Serenity and Liberty. He could not blame Serenity for being heartless to them.
Fortunately, the sensationalism of the trending search was diminishing. As long as they did not court disaster, the netizens would slowly forget about them, and they could do as they pleased in the future without getting affected.
As for Old Mrs. Hunt’s medical expenses and follow-up treatment fees, Mike felt that since there were so many members in the family, all they had to do was chip in a little each. After all, they were rather well-to-do.
Even in the countryside, each family lived in a self-built villa. There was no need to keep fighting Serenity for just a few hundreds of thousands in medical expenses. What could they do if Serenity refused to fork out the money?
They went through with the plan they came up with, but what was the result? It backfired on them.
“I can’t persuade him. Mike, are we going to bail Noah out first?”
“Yeah, let’s bail Noah out first and find out if he injured Serenity. If she’s injured, you have to bring a small gift and visit her. Apologize to her and ask her not to press charges against Noah, or he’d get into even more trouble later.”
Mike was someone who had experienced the world by doing business, so he was much more rational than his youngest uncle.
When Noah’s mother heard Mike, she scolded, “Serenity got my son arrested, but you want us to apologize to her? No way! I’ll get even with her! I’m going to smash up her store and rip her face off. I don’t care who’s supporting her from the shadows, and I don’t care about ruining my reputation.”
Their reputation was already ruined anyway. The people in the village dug up old scores and pointed fingers at the Hunt family.
In her opinion, the villagers only dared to accuse them of how heartless they were back then because Old Mrs. Hunt was sick and hospitalized now. Otherwise, the entire Hunt family would be able to stir the entire village up. No one would dare talk about them!
