Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Serenity was a very reasonable person and was very respectful of her elders. Of course, she would only respect them depending on whether those elders truly acted like elders.
“Serenity, were those people earlier your relatives? Are they causing trouble for you again? Are they still asking you to pay up for your grandmother‘s medical bills? Those people are really shameless! They drive their own cars and live in villas. They have a million–maybe even millions – in savings, but they don‘t want to pay for their own mother‘s medical bills and instead are trying to force their orphaned nieces to pay.”
“I‘ve seen shameless people, but I‘ve never seen anyone as shameless as they are. My horizons have been broadened.”
“That‘s right! Serenity‘s parents died in an accident and the life insurance payout was divided between them too. Fifteen years ago, six hundred thousand dollars was worth a lot! The reason why they live such good lives now is built off of Serenity‘s parents‘ life insurance money! And now they‘re still trying to bully her after thoroughly taking advantage of her!” “Serenity, you‘re just too nice. When you face such shameless people, the moment they arrive, you should just sweep them out the door with your broom! There‘s no need to say another word to them. They won‘t admit that they‘re wrong no matter what they‘ve done. They‘ll
always think they‘re right and that others are wrong.”
“Serenity, the next time they try to bully you and make you pay for your grandmother‘s medical bills, just give us a call! We‘ll all come over to help you chase those heartless, shameless punks away.”
All her neighbors knew about Serenity‘s issue with her relatives. Even if they had just witnessed Serenity chasing after her elders with a broom, they did not feel Serenity was in the wrong and even felt that she was a little too kind.
If they would have been in her shoes, they would have adopted a few dogs. If that group of trash dared show themselves then, they would just let the dogs loose on them. It was a waste of their energy to have even a casual conversation with that bunch of trash.
Serenity said bitterly, “They‘re still my dad‘s siblings, after all. I was just so angry that I had to chase them away.”
“That‘s how it should be. Sure, they‘re your father‘s siblings, but they‘re also too heartless! Normal people wouldn‘t have been able to do the terribly abominable things that they did! Serenity, you don‘t have to feel guilty. You did the right thing. We support you!”
Serenity thanked everyone for understanding her and for not thinking that she had gone overboard.
Once the crowd had dispersed, Serenity returned to her shop, holding her broom.
Zachary looked at her soberly with his dark eyes.
Every time she ran into trouble, she never gave him the chance to help her.
She moved too fast. She would jump into action the moment she got her hands on the broom, and then managed to chase them away in the blink of an eye. She even put on such a look of suffering so that the onlookers would completely be on her side and help her condemn those
trashy relatives of hers.
He was a hero without a battleground.
Serenity placed the broom back in its original position.
“They ran fast, or else I’d have beat them to a pulp!” she said as she walked toward Zachary.
Stopping in front of him, she looked at him and said in thanks, “Mr. York, thanks for helping me shock my aunts and the rest to the point they only dared to use their mouths. You made them afraid to raise their hands against me.”
Zachary was the lead actor for the first act and served the purpose of shocking them. She then took the lead for the second act and chased those people away.
Serenity felt that the responsibility of chasing the trash away rightfully fell to her.
Zachary was silent for a long moment before he said, “Serenity, you should give me a chance to do something in the future. Or else, others will say you married a useless man, and that doesn’t look good for you either.”
Serenity was speechless.
