Chapter 118
Just then, she could hear her grandfather’s goading voice through the phone saying, “Why haven’t you told Serenity to rush over to the police station and tell them to release her uncles and the rest?!”
“Release them? Why should they be released?! They committed the crimes themselves, so they should be locked away for as long as they deserve!
“Have you forgotten that they’re your children?! How could you take the side of someone with a different surname?!
“What do you mean ‘someone with a different sumame?! She’s my granddaughter! Since her mother’s gone, it’s my job as her grandmother to support her!”
“Aren’t you worried that no one will take care of you when you get old and frail if you act this way? Or are you that granddaughter of yours who’s been in prison before to take care of you?!”
I counting on
The old couple continued to argue, almost as if they had forgotten that the call was still ongoing. After a long while, Serenity’s grandmother finally remembered that she was still on the phone, so she asked, “Serenity, are you still there?”
“I’m still here.”

“I’m just glad that you’re okay, Serenity. As for your uncles, aunt, and cousins, they must’ve been blinded by money to have done such a wicked thing! You don’t need to think about withdrawing the case. Just let them be locked up for as long as they deserve!”
