Old Mr. Hunt said, “Fine, takeaway food it is. Serenity, don’t forget to pay the man later.”
Serenity wanted to laugh.
Leopards sure could not change their spots.
These people were always trying to milk her in every way possible.
She coldly blurted, “You order, you pay.”
Serenity took a glance at the local produce John and Mike hoisted into the shop. Since the sacks were not sealed, she could see they were a bag of sweet potato and a sack of yam.
Old Mr. Hunt thought he could handle the money of her business with two sacks of produce.

Old Mr. Hunt spoke in a matter–of–fact manner. “Serenity is an orphan, and she could marry into the York family. My other granddaughters have both parents around and come from good families. They’re no lesser than Serenity, so why can’t they marry into the York family?”
“Serenity, your granddad’s right. Family should always come first and stick together. Hook your cousins up so they can marry into the York family. Your position as the lady of the house will be secured with them around to help you. No one will be the boss of you.”
One of Serenity’s uncles had a daughter who was younger than Serenity by two years. She was still single.
The uncle’s eyes lit up at the opportunity of marrying his daughter into money.
In the past, the Hunts believed marriage with the rich and powerful was out of reach. It was not like they had seen the upper crust up close and personal before.
Now that a nobody like Serenity became the wife of the wealthiest man in the city, they thought marrying up was not that hard after all. They began to fancy themselves in Serenity’s position.
Their niece married a rich husband, but she might not help them since they were not on good terms. However, it was a different story if their daughters were the ones with wealthy husbands. Surely, their daughters would help out the family financially.
The Hunts might join high society in a few years with the York family taking them under their wing.
The Hunts would go on and tell people that they were related to Mrs. York, and the envious looks the Hunts got from the public fed into their ego. Alas, the Hunts were too blind to tell apart envy from cynicism.
