Chapter 74
"Are you going to take the call?"
Zachary asked as he caught his wife staring at her phone when he entered the car after loading the
shopping bags in.
"It might be my money-hungry rtives."
"You''ll know who it is when you pick up the call.You can''t run forever.Don''t fear them.You got me."
With him around, he would have her back no matter what.
Serenity was embraced by warm tingles when Zachary said he got her.
The guy might have many ws, but simrly, she was not perfect either.
Zachary had gone above and beyond for her even though they got into the marriage knowing nothing
about each other.
That scored Zachary another brownie point in Serenity''’s books.
Serenity epted the call from the unidentified number.
"Serenity, it''s me.Granddad."
A slightly unfamiliar voice resounded withmand over the phone.
Despite losing contact with the family back in hometown, Serenity identified the voice to be
Granddad''s.
Serenity hummed a response, waiting for Granddad to go on.
"Mike called you in the afternoon to tell you that your Grandmom is sick and needs to be admitted into
a hospital in the city.
You were supposed to make an appointment with a specialist, but you didn’t.
We came this far only to be told to redo the examination before Grandmom could be admitted since we
didn''t have an appointment.
"Where are you and your sister staying? We couldn''t find you at yourst address.
The people staying there said you moved away a long time ago.
Couldn''t you let your family know beforehand? Do you have any respect for your family?
"A lot of people havee along on this trip, so we don''t have a ce to stay.Hurry up and text us
your current address.We need amodation for two days.Get cooking now.We haven''t had
dinner.You could also wire me cash if you think we might be a bother in your house.We can stay at the
hotel."
Serenity saw a rush of blood to her head.
Refusing to let his words get the better of her, Serenity asked with a t voice, "How did you get here?
By bus or on your own?"
"Your cousins took us in their cars.Speaking of which, don’t forget to pay for your cousin''s gas.The trip
cost a lot."
"Oh, so your precious children and grandchildren are penniless and strapped for cash?"
"What are you talking about, Serenity? Just because you and your sister have it good in the city, it
doesn''t give you the right to say that about your family.Well, excuse me.You must be fairly disappointed
because your cousins are sessful in their careers.Your cousin, John, has an annual ie of a
million..."
Serenity cut Granddad off with a tap on the screen.She knew Granddad had a big mouth.

Thetter would brag about every tiny achievement of his children and grandchildren so the world
would know how great his offspring was.
It stroked his ego, that was for sure.
Despite having sessful children and grandchildren like John who made a million a year, Granddad
had the nerve to get Serenity to pay for the hotel and gas.
Did they take her for a pushover? Granddad''s eyes widened as he was interrupted from blowing his
horn, and tags quickly took over.
Stopping himself from smashing the phone, Granddadshed out, "Serenity, that b*tch, hung up on
me!"
Mike said, "She probably blocked my number."
"Does she think she doesn''t have to pay by refusing the call? Do you know where the sisters are
working? Make them show up and cough out the money for your grandmom’s medical fees.We''ll need
some funds to stay here and take care of her.Get the sisters to pay for that too."
Mike shook his head.
"I don’t know, but I have a way to make theme looking for us and pay up."
As ruthlessness shed past his eyes, Mike decided to use his connections to teach the sisters a
lesson.
