Chapter 294 Several cars drove along and quickly pulled up in front of Serenity‘s bookshop. Serenity and Jasmine, who had just entered the shop, looked at the fleet of cars. Serenity‘s face fell when her keen eye caught the cars belonging to her cousins. These people were relentless.
With Mike leading the younger pack, they walked into the
shop.
They came bearing two baskets of fruits each. “Serenity.”
With a smile on his face, Mike put his baskets of fruits on the cash register and said to Serenity, “I bought you and your sister some fresh fruits.”
Spotting Sonny, he asked, “Is this your sister‘s son? He looks like your sister.”
He then reached out to stroke Sonny‘s head, but Sonny shied away, refusing to let the man touch him. Mike responded with a grin, “Don‘t be scared, little guy. I‘m your uncle.”
The rest wanted to place the other fruit baskets on the cash register but since there was no more room on the counter, they placed them on the floor instead. Serenity asked faintly, “What brings you here? I‘d advise you to give up if you‘re trying to make me pay.”
“Aren‘t you going to invite us to have a seat, Serenity?”
John kept a smile on his arrogant face. Out of all his cousins and brothers, he was most successful as his annual salary was more than a million bucks. This was what he took pride in. He barely looked straight at Serenity when he came to look for her the first time.
He had been suspended from work for a while now. There was no telling when he could return to work. There was still a possibility that he might lose his job.
His brothers, cousins, uncles, and parents had also hit a low point in their careers and businesses. They would be screwed if their savings were not keeping them afloat.
They would not be able to hold out for long.
If Serenity and Liberty refused to reconcile, their hard–earned family assets that had been around for two generations would be lost.
His youngest cousin, Noah, was still detained in prison. They tried to bail him out, but no amount of money could persuade the authorities to let Noah go.
