Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1017
Serenity, Liberty, Mrs. Stone, and the others were on their way to the Hunts‘ hometown when Old Mr. Hunt brought his sons and
two grandsons to Wiltspoon School. Here they were to talk cash with Serenity again.
Old Mr. Hunt refused to believe the Yorks were unfazed by all the big hoo–ha the Hunts stirred in the last few days.
Serenity might be feeling the pressure now.
Alas, they arrived at Wiltspoon School only to find that Serenity’s bookshop was closed.
“Why isn’t it operating for business? It’s eight o’clock. It says here they open at eight.”
Getting out of the car, Old Mr. Hunt grimaced upon noticing the shop was closed. He ran his mouth and called Serenity out for
being a lousy businessperson.
Mike looked at the shops around and said, “Granddad, it’s Saturday today. The school is off. These shops target students as
customers. They won’t bother opening when the school is closed.”
Old Mr. Hunt mumbled, “The brat usually stays open on the weekend. She thinks she’s all that now that she’s the wife of a
wealthy man. I bet the profit of this shop isn’t much to her now. Mike, maybe we can change the plans and get her to give you
the business if the brat refuses to relent.” 1
“Serenity established the shop with her friend, Granddad. She could only afford a business because of her friend. The Sox girl
comes from a well–to–do family. I heard that the Sox family makes their money off collecting rent. Apparently, her aunt is the wife
of some local businessman. The whole family is pretty business–minded.”
There was no way they could take over Serenity’s book–selling business.
“God knows why the brat is so lucky.”
The public was not the only one jealous of Serenity’s good fortune. Her own grandfather could not stand to see her living large.
So what if Serenity married well? She refused to share the fortune with her family.
“Since she’s not open for business, should we head to your house then?”

Old Mr. Hunt asked John as John was his favorite grandson. Old Mr. Hunt often asked for John’s opinion before doing anything.
His sons were merely here to make up for the headcount. It was power in numbers after all.
The rest of the family had returned to their hometown.
It was a huge expense for everybody to stay in the city. Even though Old Mr. Hunt did not have to cover the expenses, he felt the
pinch for his sons and grandsons‘ wallets. Old Mr. Hunt did not want to spend too much of their money back when they were still
working, much less now that they were eating away their savings.
That was why Old Mr. Hunt thought about Serenity and Liberty when his spouse needed to have surgery in the city. Why spend
his sons and grandsons‘ money when he could spend Liberty and Serenity’s?
To Old Mr. Hunt, his sons and grandsons were family. Their money was his money.
His granddaughters would marry into other families and their money was their husbands‘ money. Why should Old Mr. Hunt care?
Old Mr. Hunt wanted to manipulate Serenity and her sister since they were doing well in life. However, the
plan backfired and blew up in their faces. Not only did they fail to get anything out of the sisters, his sons and grandsons lost
their sources of income.
He hated the sisters‘ guts for that, especially Serenity. She married into a wealthy family, and her in–laws were loaded. Why
could she not spare them some change? A bit of change went a long way.
What was the point of having a granddaughter when she could not include her family in all the money and success?
Old Mr. Hunt hoped to drive Zachary and Serenity to divorce. He wanted Serenity to lose everything.
He also wished Harriet’s plastic surgery would go well, so the latter could take Serenity’s place.
“She lives in a gated community. We can’t get in. She might be staying in some villa right now, and God knows which one. Mr.
York owns a lot of properties.”
Old Mr. Hunt turned green with envy at the mention of Zachary’s multiple properties.
Although his son had built a nice estate in his hometown, the rural buildings could not compare to the structures in the city.

They had caused a scene at Wildridge Manor. Although the Hunts could not enter the residence, they caught a glimpse of the
manor through the gaps in the gate. The place was huge and beautiful. Old Mr. Hunt was envious as he imagined himself living
there.
