Delia got it! She had chat records!
"Rosemary, you just can’t let it go, can you? My phone has a huge mory, and all the chat records are stored clearly. I’m going to dig them out for you now!"
Delia opened her chat history with Serena, searching for keywords like "water," "swimming pool," etc. Soon, the relevant chat records and chat tis appeared.
"See that?" Delia held her phone up for everyone to see. "How are you going to explain this now?"
"Oh," Rosemary glanced at the day Serena said she splashed water and said, "I happened to be in Switzerland that day."
At that ti, Grandpa Alberto wanted to choose euthanasia. Roo arranged a private jet for her, and she flew to Switzerland that day and didn’t co back that night.
"As for the swimming pool, if I rember correctly, the Collins family’s servants clean the pool every Monday, so the pool is empty the whole day. If I pushed her in, wouldn’t she die from the fall?"
Serena thought she had the upper hand, but her face turned pale when Rosemary said this.
At that ti, she just wanted to badmouth Rosemary with Delia, and she randomly accused Rosemary of so cris without much thought.
Seeing Serena’s reaction, Delia was also sowhat skeptical, but to protect her friend, she still said, "Who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
"She’s not lying," Chasel suddenly spoke. "Cleaning the pool every Monday is a long-standing habit of the Collins family. The day she went to Switzerland, my family also told that it was because an old man Rose knew had health problems. Rose went to see him and didn’t return that day. As for the damaged clothes, I’ll call my family and ask."
"Chasel," Serena started, but saw the deep disappointnt in Chasel’s eyes.
She called out Chasel’s na too urgently, too panicked! She was indeed lying!
"Is this how you slander your own sister in front of your friends?" Chasel’s tone was full of disappointnt.
Since when did his always simple and kind sister change?
"Chasel, listen to . The situation was—" Serena was about to explain, but she rembered that besides Delia, there were three other friends she knew present, so she whispered, "Can we talk sowhere else? After all, this is a family matter."
"Let’s talk here," Chasel was firm, which relieved Kelly and others. Luckily, Chasel was reasonable. Now let’s see what Serena did.
"Chasel," how could Serena admit to slandering Rosemary in front of so many people? Wouldn’t that ruin her image?
Seeing that she kept silent, Delia couldn’t help but ask, "Serena, what’s going on? You wouldn’t lie to , would you? Why would you slander Rosemary for no reason? Also, you said she stole your fiancé."
"That’s not her fiancé! It’s Rosemary’s!"
Kelly, Joyce, and Mya all suddenly said this sentence at the sa ti, startling Delia. What’s going on?
"Serena is the adopted one!"
The three of them once again said this sentence in unison, leaving Delia and her other three friends speechless.
Serena was the adopted one? Roo was Rosemary’s fiancé? How on earth? Everything’s topsy-turvy?
Serena couldn’t believe that the image she had worked so hard to build had collapsed so easily. She closed her eyes tightly, took a mont to laugh, then slowly rose to her feet.
Since the cat was out of the bag, there was no need for her to keep up the pretense.
"Yes, I am indeed the adopted child," Serena lowered her head and took a while before lifting it to look at Rosemary. There was self-mockery, heartache, and jealousy in her eyes. "She’s the real Collins family daughter."
"What on earth is going on?" Delia and her three friends were totally bamboozled.
However, Serena was not in the mood to answer her question. She looked at Chasel, tears streaming down her face.
"You all said that after Rosemary ca back, you would still treat like family. But every single thing you do, every word you say, you’re all siding with her!"
Serena’s tears fell pitifully.
"Chasel, we’ve lived together for eighteen years. Are our feelings less important than those of a sister who just ca back?"
Chasel’s eyes were complicated, but it wasn’t true.
"And you, from the day you set foot in the Collins family’s ho, have you ever been friendly to ?" Serena loudly questioned Rosemary.
Kelly, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped in to defend: "Rose’s always been sort of aloof, but she has a heart of gold."
"And you!" Serena glared at Kelly and said, "What’s it to you? You’re an outsider, so why are you sticking your nose in other people’s business?"
Serena, saying this, shed more tears of hurt and disappointnt: "I just wanted things to stay the sa, to continue having the love of my parents and brothers. What did I do wrong? Why did everything change when Rosemary ca back?"
"This has always been her ho, so she should be here," Chasel, as always, kept his cool, but his gaze beca more complicated. "And you’ve enjoyed her life for eighteen years, but you smudged her reputation and spread rumors about her after she ca back. Did you tell our classmates she was kept by an old man?"
Kelly, Joyce, and Mya: What? Was there such a thing? If Serena really did say this, that’s way too much!
"No, I didn’t say that!" Serena shook her head, laughing in despair. "So now, whatever bad rumors there are about her, I’m the one who spread them? Let make it clear again: I did not spread this rumor!"
"Then, did Myrna really push you?" Chasel looked into her eyes again, fluctuating between hope and disappointnt.
"If I say yes, would you believe ?" Serena cried and then laughed, saying, "If I say no, would you be even more disappointed in ?"
"Enough with the dilly-dallying. I’ve already gotten the surveillance footage from just now," Kelly, standing aside, directly interrupted her, playing the video clip from her phone for everyone to see.
To make sure everyone understood, she even set it to slow motion. In the video, Myrna clearly pulled back her hand, but Serena still deliberately fell onto the grass.
The truth was crystal clear!
Delia was also stunned when she saw this. How could this be? Did Serena really fall on her own?
She had just defended Serena without hesitation, trusting her friend and even claiming that she saw Myrna push soone.
She never thought the truth would be like this. Her disappointnt in Serena was extre.
"I considered you my best friend, but you deceived ti and ti again! Your fainting spell just now was fake too, wasn’t it?" Delia gritted her teeth and said, "Serena, you’ve really let down!"
