Chapter 98
Serenity’s blood boiled as she heard about the underhanded schemes her grandparents were trying to pull. The audacity of their demands, and the complete disregard for her and Liberty’s well-being, only fueled her determination to put an end to it. As Mrs. Deli shared more details about how the Hunts were manipulating the situation, Serenity felt a mix of anger and resolve.
“They really think they can get away with this,” Serenity murmured, her voice thick with emotion. She clenched her fists, trying to control the surge of frustration inside her. “They’ve exploited us enough.”
Zachary, who had been silently listening, turned to her with a steady gaze. He could see the fire in her eyes, a reflection of the same resilience he admired in her. “We won’t let them. We have the truth on our side, and now we have evidence. They can’t hide behind their lies anymore.”
The recorded conversations from Mrs. Deli and the townspeople were invaluable. The more Serenity heard about her grandparents’ and uncles’ actions, the more she realized how much they had wronged her and Liberty. Her heart felt heavy with the weight of the injustice they had suffered, but she knew this was the only way forward.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, the Hunts were plotting their next move, still under the illusion that Serenity and Liberty would cave to their demands. Mike, with his connections, was taking full advantage of the viral tweet, hoping to use public pressure to force the sisters into submission. The cruel remarks and accusations circulating online gave him a sense of victory, as if the virtual world was on his side.
Serenity and Zachary weren’t about to let the Hunts manipulate them any longer. “Let them think they’re winning,” Zachary said quietly, his tone unwavering. “When we strike, it’ll be too late for them to undo the damage.”
Serenity nodded, her resolve hardening. She wasn’t going to let her family’s legacy be tarnished by those who didn’t deserve it. The truth would come out, and the Hunts would face the consequences of their actions. She wasn’t afraid anymore.
As the couple drove away from Mrs. Deli’s house, Zachary pulled her hand into his, offering a silent show of support. They were in this together, and no matter how difficult the fight would be, they were ready to take it on. Serenity felt a quiet strength in the way Zachary stood by her side, and for the first time in a long while, she allowed herself to feel hope for the future.
