Chapter 198
Serenity immediately knew what was going on. They probably called her over to make her pay.
If she guessed correctly, they must have prepared a script in advance.
As expected, Francis immediately said, “Dad, we don’t have any money. I don’t even have the money
to hold a wedding for my son. That’s why Myran is still single.”
Desmond followed up with, “Yeah, Dad, we really don’t have any money!” He then turned to Serenity
and said bitterly, Serenity, we only tried to marry you off to the Foster family because we’re so poor that
we had no choice.”
”
“What? Just because you’re poor, you can marry me off to a moron? Does being poor make you right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSerenity retorted coldly.
Desmond was at a loss for words, but Francis immediately complained, “Your two cousins can’t find
matches because we’re too poor. They have to keep the Walker family line going. Your Granny treats
you very well, so shouldn’t you repay her? Besides, you’re an ex–convict, so you should feel grateful
that someone is willing to marry you!”
“Granny’s the one who treats me well, not you guys, so why should I sacrifice myself to repay you?”
Serenity found it ridiculous.
Some people would always be selfish and self–serving. They would only think of how much benefit
they could take from others and never think of how much they could give to others.
“Great! You said it yourself, your Granny treats you well Now that she’s hospitalized, you should pay for
some of her medical expenses.” Theresa looked elated, as if Serenity had fallen for their trap.
Serenity was not surprised to hear Theresa say that. She simply remained quiet and waited to hear
what Theresa had to say
next.
Theresa continued, “Serenity, if you had told us earlier that you know a big shot like the man from that
day, that whole misunderstanding would never have happened. We merely wanted to help you find a
husband, that’s all.”
“How did you meet a man like that, by the way? Does he know that you’ve been in prison before?
You’re not hiding the fact that you’re an ex–convict from him, are you?” Serenity’s cousin, Lynette,
asked jealously.
She had never met the man, but from what she heard from her uncles, the man was not only powerful,
he was handsome too! She felt incredibly jealous. Serenity was not worthy of a man like that!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShouldn’t men like him look down on a woman who had been in prison before?
Serenity just smiled without saying anything.
Theresa lightly rebuked her daughter, then said to Serenity, “It’s great that you found a man like that,
Surely that means you have a lot of money now. Why don’t you take care of your Granny’s medical
bills? Besides that, you should also reimburse us for coming to the hospital to take care of your Granny.
The bus fare and the meals cost money too. Also, considering your Granny’s condition, we should hire
someone to take care of her full–time. The total cost should come up to about $30,000. LË your
Granny’s medical bills go up in the future, we’ll ask you for more.”
“Okay, it’s decided then.” After Theresa finished spealing, Henry clapped his hands and concluded,
“Serenity, make sure you. Transfer $30,000 into your Uncle Francis‘ bank account later.”
“I never said I agree,” said Serenity.
