Chapter 263


    Chapter 264 – Over the years, they would live a pampered life and had fattened up.


    Even a little movement left them panting with exertion.


    They really could not afford to start a fight with Serenity and her husband, especially since Serenity


    knew martial arts.


    It was a mystery how Liberty brought up her sister that she let Serenity learn martial arts.


    Luckily, they had the foresight to take Serenity’s father’s life insurance payout for safekeeping, or else it


    might have been thoroughly wasted by Serenity and her sister.


    “Serenity, you’d better not go too far! I’m telling you, if you don’t get Noah out of jail and something


    happens to him in there, you’ll never hear the end of it from me! Don’t assume that I’d be afraid of you


    just because you have a husband now!” Abigail yelled while pointing at Serenity.


    Zachary finished washing his hands and turned his head.


    With just a sweep of his sharp, icy gaze over her, Abigail’s curses immediately softened.


    She was pretty scared of this cold, taciturn man.


    “Serenity.


    ” Stuart Hunt finally spoke, “No matter what it is, it’s not right to raise your hand against someone.


    If you ask your husband to apologize to your aunt, as the elders, we won’t hold it‘ against you further.


    ” “So you do know it’s not right to raise your hand against someone.


    When Noah led a bunch of thugs, all carrying metal bars, to block my way in the middle of the night and


    threatened me to leave the car, I was so scared back then.


    And when I got down, he made a move against me first.


    If it weren’t for my quick reactions, hat metal bar of his would have hit me.


    How do you think I’d have ended up then?” The corner of Zachary’s mouth twitched when he heard


    Serenity say she was so scared then, but there was a hint ofughter in his eyes.


    Serenity continued, “He was in the wrong and I was only acting in self– defense.


    How am I at fault? Now you guys havee here in a big group, at night, to use me and verbally


    abuse me.


    Do you think you’re justified in doing that?” Stuart Hunt was rendered speechless.


    After a moment, he said, “Serenity, we do know that Noah’s in the wrong, but aren’t you fine? You know


    martial arts, and Noah with his gang of people couldn’t even beat you.


    You’re perfectly fine.


    What’s a little conflict between cousins? Since you’ve fought it out, just let it pass.


    Why did you have to involve the police? “Noah’s still a minor.


    His detainment will greatly affect his future.


    You’re his cousin.


    Isn’t it a little too heartless of you to treat your own family like this?” Serenity said coldly, “Don’t talk to


    me about family.


    If I was heartless, he wouldn’t have just been detained.


    And anyway, don’t you think it’sughable for you guys to chastise me for being heartless? When have


    you guys ever beenpassionate? When my parents died, do you remember how you treated my


    sister and I? “Fifteen years ago, you guys personally severed any ties of family between you and my


    sister and I.


    So now, don’te and talk to me about being family!” Serenity walked forward to stand in front of


    Abigail, who red at her fury, wishing she could burn her alive with her gaze.


    Although she was very tempted to attack her, with Zachary‘s cold eyes pinned on her, Abigail was too


    much of a coward and in the end, did not dare to make a move.


    “You should be grateful.


    Just think about it–your son‘s underage, but he‘s already got the gall to lead a bunch of thugs to block


    someone‘s road.


    They didn‘t manage to get me because I know martial arts.


    But if I had been a weak, feeble woman and he‘d assaulted me and smashed up my car, and even


    stolen my valuables and stuff, what do you think he‘d have be? “A robber.


    The crime of robbery is a very serious one.


    He wouldn‘t only be detained–he‘d also have been sentenced to prison for quite a few years.


    Sure, he‘s a minor, but he‘s already reached the age of 16.


    If he breaks thew, he has to take responsibility for doing so.


    “Now, this will teach him a lesson.


    Detaining him will make him understand what he did was illegal.


    After hees out, he‘ll know to restrain himself and he won‘t be like those crooks.


    He wouldn‘t dare to mess around in the future.


    If this isn‘t saving him, what is?” Serenity spoke with reason and justification, and the elder Hunts


    unexpectedly had no way of refuting it.


    She continued to say, “If it weren‘t for my taking into consideration the fact that we‘re still blood–rted


    in the end, I wouldn‘t have saved him this time.


    I‘d have just left him to it and not cared if he died.
