Martha opened the door to see Edith, gave her an annoyed glare, and said with a cold snort, "Are you planning to feed Serena Ms. Rose’s leftovers or sothing? What do you think Serena is, a trash can?"
Edith got a little pissed off, "Martha, what the hell are you talking about? The lady made a late–night snack for both girls, and you’re acting like Serena’s getting Rose’s table scraps."
"Anyway, Serena’s not hungry, and she doesn’t need to eat!" Martha said coldly and then slamd the door shut.
Edith was so mad she could stomp her foot. What a piece of work this woman was!
After Martha shut the door, she went over to Serena, "Serena, I got rid of her."
Serena was sitting at her vanity, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She said coldly, "Just ignore her."
"That’s just too much! She’s just a maid, but she dares to let you eat Rose’s leftovers. Isn’t that a slap in the face?" Martha said angrily, "You’re the lady of this house, the acknowledged daughter of the boss and his lady, and she dares to treat you like this just wait and see how I’ll sort her out!"
"Martha, don’t forget, Rosemary still got that video of you. We better watch our steps.
Even though she was disappointed with her mother’s favouritism, she still said, "If you’re going to teach them a lesson, don’t do it in the house."
Big brother had already noticed her animosity towards Rosemary, what if mom and dad found out too.
She needed to take action outside!
"I knew it. The boss and his lady are biased, their own daughter ca back, and you’ve beco an outsider in this house. If they really cared about you, they wouldn’t even deny you a bowl of late–night snack! Isn’t that favouritism?" Martha growled.
Then she added, "Before he talked to you tonight, he specially planted Rose’s favourite marigold flowers on her balcony."
"Marigold flowers?" Serena was a bit surprised when she heard this, big brother doing sothing so romantic, that’s so unlike him! Did Rosemary ask for it? "He did this. Isn’t he just trying to make Rose
think of him daily? This shows he really values this little sister!"
Serena felt even more depressed, "I know."
"Didn’t he say he’ll treat you both fairly? Why does Rose get flowers and you don’t? Didn’t he say everything he gives to Rose now is what you’ve had in these eighteen years? But you’ve never had your own flowers."
Serena lowered her head, feeling even more upset.
She originally thought big brother made so sense tonight, she even started to waver, and she began to wonder if she was really wrong to Rosemary in the past.
Now, no matter how big or small the point was, it’s enough to hurt her deeply.
"Planting such low–level flowers, aren’t they afraid of lowering the family’s class? This is the richest family in the country! The cheapest flower in the garden costs/ thousands of dollars, she’s so ordinary,
even the things she likes are ordinary! Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at when they grow out?"
Martha couldn’t help but blurt out, "She’s so inconsiderate! If she wants to plant flowers, she can do it in her own room and admire them herself or let others pick so for her to put in a vase. Why does she have to plant them where everyone can see? Isn’t this just a blatant show–off?"
Serena felt like there was a ton of bricks on her chest.
"As for everything your parents and Hunter said to you tonight, none of it is sincere! You can’t trust them!
If you do, you’ll be played for a fool!"
Martha said this and then deliberately lowered her voice, "If Rosemary didn’t return, you would be the only young miss in the house. When you get married, the wedding gift they give you will be priceless.
But rember what the lady said last ti? When you get married, your wedding gift will only be slightly more than what Brooklyn Reed’s sister got!"
Her sister’s wedding gift was eighty million dollars, plus twelve houses and cars.
"So they’re going to fob you off with just these things? How could they? Didn’t they say they consider you as their own daughter? You should at least be treated like one, right?" Martha paused for a while,
then continued to persuade, "While Hunter is away, we can stir up so trouble to make the madam loathe Rosemary! As long as we achieve our goal."
Serena flicked her long eyelashes, looking unsure, "But my big brother has eyes and ears everywhere."
What if he found out and kicked her out of the house?
"We’re not trying to harm anyone. We just want to give Rosemary a taste of her own dicine! We can’t just keep putting up with her arrogance while she’s high and mighty. Besides, without proof, even if
Hunter suspects, he won’t point fingers at us!"
"So, what’s your brilliant idea?" Serena asked anxiously.
"I think," Martha leaned in and whispered a lot into Serena’s ear. Seeing that Serena didn’t react much after hearing it, she beca a bit anxious, "Serena, if you want to be the best, want to get the attention
of your parents and your brothers, want to have a future with Mr. McMillian, you have to take so risks and give it a try!" Serena still felt it wasn’t right, even though she really wanted to give Rosemary a
taste of her own dicine. But her brother’s words tonight built a thick wall in her heart, making her too scared to cross it.
"Think about everything that happened after Rosemary ca back, how your parents and Hunter treated you," Martha kept persuading her, "If that’s not favouritism, then what is?"
"But, Serena was still torn. Serena, you need to think about your future!" Martha said, "Don’t worry. Even if sothing happens, I’ll take the bla."
"Martha." Serena was touched that a servant was better than her so–called family.
"I promise you," Martha patted her chest, "If sothing goes wrong, I’ll take full responsibility."
"Martha."
"I’ve always treated you like my own child." Martha’s voice was full of emotion, "I’ll do everything in my power to fight for your best interest. I want nothing but the best for you!"
Moved by Martha’s sincerity, Serena finally made up her mind.
The next morning, Kenneth got a call from the hospital saying that his mother’s health had slightly improved, They weren’t sure if it was because of Rosemary’s acupuncture treatnt yesterday.
Kenneth was over the moon. After he and Louisa got ready, they rushed to the hospital with the dicine Rosemary gave them.
Not long after, the college entrance exam scores were available. Probably because so many people were checking at the sa ti, the system crashed in no ti.
