Chapter 1110
Whether it was Serenity’s hometown or the neighboring villages, the young worked in the cities while only the older
generation stayed behind. The elderly could not do much farm work, so the fields were deserted. Since there was
someone rich who wanted to rent the fields from them, they would not refuse the opportunity to earn money.
Serenity and Jasmine were very pleased to hear this.
After Elisa finished updating them about the investment project, she looked at Serenity and hesitated a moment
before saying, “That was the good news. Time for the bad news. Seren, I also got someone to inquire about what
your relatives were up to while talking about contracting the
land.”
“Everything they’ve done has been bad news. Just say it, Elisa. I’m prepared to hear whatever it is they’re doing
recently. At most, they hauled away the bricks, sand, and gravel and sold them.”
“The trucks of materials you sent to rebuild the house were still there. They were stacked properly untouched. Your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrelatives didn’t try removing them or selling them.”
Serenity said, “It seems my threat against Noah worked.”
Noah was not his grandparents‘ favorite, but he had his own advantages as the youngest.
She told Noah to keep an eye out and not allow the Hunt family to move the materials she had delivered. Noah
probably took it as an order because he was terrified of her.
“Back then, you said that you’ll be filing a lawsuit to get your parents‘ house back. Although the two old ones don’t
know much about the law, the younger ones do. After they explained, your grandparents realized what a lawsuit
meant. They know that they won’t benefit from a lawsuit.”
Elisa continued, “Your grandparents were displeased, so they started spreading rumors in the village, saying that
you and your sister were not their biological granddaughters. Since you’re not biologically related, you have no
right to compete for the family property.”
Jasmine was speechless.
Serenity was stunned and then sneered. “They’re going that far? They said I’m not my father’s biological daughter?
I take after my father. The only way for Liberty and I not to be their biological grandchildren is if my dad wasn’t
their biological son either.”
“The other villagers also said that you look like your father, and it’s impossible that you’re not his flesh and blood.
They also said that your parents had a good relationship when they were alive. Your mother would never have had
an affair behind your father’s back.
“So, the final version of the rumor they spread is–your
father wasn’t their biological son. He was adopted. They
said they raised him and helped him marry and have children of his own when he grew up, so he owed them. Thus,
after your father died, the property he left behind, which was the house, should be given to them, his parents,
instead.
Jasmine looked at her best friend sympathetically. How unlucky was Serenity to have such vile relatives? They
sought nothing but profit.
Serenity sneered. “Do they think they can take my parents‘ inheritance by spreading such rumors? That old man
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprobably forgot that out of all of his children, my father took after him the most. The others favor the old woman.”
The two elderly went too far. Serenity did not even want to call them her grandparents anymore.
Old Mr. Hunt was older now. His face was full of wrinkles, and he looked much more different than how he did when
he was young. However, Serenity took after her father, and her father took after Old Mr. Hunt. Thus, there was
some facial resemblance between Old Mr. Hunt and her.
“If he claims that my dad was adopted, then how will he explain their similar physical features? They’re really doing
everything they can to twist the facts. They even denied their relationship with their own son. Do they think they
can get away with it because my dad is no longer around?”
In fact, their spreading these rumors would not affect the outcome of the lawsuit. Whether Serenity and Liberty
were
their parents‘ biological children, or whether their father was Old Mr. Hunt’s biological son had no effect on the
verdict.
Her parents raised her sister and her for so many years. Even if they were not biologically related, they had a legal
adoptive relationship. Either way, the truth remains they were their parents‘ biological children.
The Hunt family spread such rumors because they wanted to use morality to get the sisters to voluntarily give up
fighting for the legacy left behind by their parents.
