Chapter 1220
Jasmine rubbed her forehead and said, “I know you never loved Shawn. I was just worried that you’d feel guilty. Shawn is fine the way he is now. He’s the successor of the family, so he has to suffer a little. He needs to face some setbacks in order to grow and become steady.”
“Aunt Rachel did all that for his own good. It’s good that he was sent away to train himself. What do I have to be guilty about?”
Serenity sat at the counter and took out her phone. “I’ll tell my man about this lest he gets jealous and misunderstands again.”
Taking the initiative to tell Zachary was better than him finding out from the bodyguards.
With Zachary’s personality, he was sure to get jealous again if he found out from his bodyguards that Shawn and she had met.
Jasmine went into the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with a plate of grapes and placed it on the counter, saying,” Shawn bought these–the seedless grapes we often eat.
“So, how was it? Was your dad your grandparents‘ biological son?” Jasmine asked with concern as she took a seat.
“Yeah. The DNA test I did with my granddad showed that we’re related by blood. After I took the report and showed it to John and the others, they finally behaved and stopped fussing.
“We’ve resolved the matter through a negotiation.”
Serenity picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth. “These grapes are so sweet.”
Jasmine saw that Serenity was in a happy mood and smiled. “It’s great that you’ve settled it. You don’t have to get involved with them in the future.”
“We’ll be going back tomorrow to sign a new agreement with them. I’ll give them the money after they transfer the title deed of the house to my sister.”
Although Serenity felt that Old Mr. Hunt was getting his just desserts, she did not feel happy or satisfied. She just felt sorry for her parents.
Her parents were incredibly filial to their parents when they were still alive, but the more filial her dad was, the less her grandfather liked him. Even after her dad passed away, he was still being bullied by his own parents.1
Jasmine paused. “Isn’t John your granddad’s favorite? He used to have an annual salary of a million dollars when he worked in Elisa’s company. Elisa made him lose his job, but he deserves it. A person like him shouldn’t have a good life.”
“Old Mr. Hunt fought for my family property because he wanted to give everything to John, so John’s words really pissed him off. That was why he so easily agreed to the solution we proposed.”
Serenity felt the reason her granddad compromised so quickly was largely because he was hurt by his sons and grandsons‘ attitude.
In any case, the issue with the house was resolved.
