Sure, here’s the translation of the provided text:
Bang!
Serena Sinclair raised her hand, and the enormous dining table collapsed backwards.
The bowls, chopsticks, cups, and plates on the table clattered to the ground.
The sound of breaking porcelain was incessant.
In a matter of seconds, the grand living room was in chaos.
"The Lockwood Family’s?"
Her tightly clenched hands trembled violently. Serena Sinclair stared at Beatrice Sutton, her face pale as if possessed by a ghost, "My mom killed Mason Lockwood. The law has already judged this!"
"A mother’s debt, paid by her daughter. I exchanged a kidney for Adrian Lockwood, nearly died on the operating table. This life, I have already repaid!"
The crowd exchanged glances.
The spacious villa was in deathly silence.
Dad was a company buyer, Mom Selene Sumrs was a teacher.
Serena Sinclair originally had a happy family.
Until Dad’s increased socializing made him fond of gambling, and ho beca chaotic.
Then, that man beca a gambling addict.
Winning money, he wouldn’t return ho.
Losing money, he’d return ho to vent on Selene Sumrs.
Not only did he ss up his own job, but he also jeopardized Selene Sumrs’ teaching career.
The most hateful ti, Serena rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
Anyway, she was only 12, not yet 14, and wouldn’t bear legal responsibility.
But when she rushed into the bedroom with the knife, she only saw her mom bleeding profusely, barely conscious.
After that day, that man disappeared.
Nervously, they lived on for so ti without any news of him.
Soone said he committed a cri and hid in another place.
Others said he died out there.
Anyway, from the age of 12, Serena finally lived a peaceful life with her mom.
During those years, Selene Sumrs did many jobs.
An extracurricular tutor.
A supermarket stocker.
A maternity nurse.
A nanny.
A part-ti maid.
Kind and efficient, Selene Sumrs quickly beca a golden reputation for the housekeeping company.
Later, Beatrice Sutton, searching for a maid at an interdiary company, selected her, making her the Lockwoods’ nanny.
It was Selene Sumrs’ 7th year at the Lockwoods’.
Also, the year Serena Sinclair and Adrian Lockwood were sophomores at Aethelgard University.
Selene Sumrs went to jail for intentional homicide.
She killed Mason Lockwood.
Beatrice Sutton’s husband, Adrian Lockwood’s father.
Beatrice Sutton reported it to the police.
Following investigation and evidence collection, the police confird Selene Sumrs’ homicide.
Selene Sumrs confessed as well.
The facts of the cri were clear, with solid evidence.
The court’s verdict was delivered quickly.
Ten years.
Before the incident, Beatrice Sutton was very fond of Selene Sumrs and Serena Sinclair, jokingly claiming they were friends rather than master and servant.
Even Serena, during holidays, would receive red envelopes and clothes, jewelry from Beatrice Sutton.
After the incident, Beatrice Sutton changed her attitude.
Serena Sinclair could understand. In anyone’s shoes, if soone hard her most beloved person, not killing the perpetrator would be the greatest tolerance, not to ntion accepting the person as family.
She suggested a breakup, but Adrian Lockwood was unwilling to let go, saying her mom was the murderer, unrelated to her.
Adrian Lockwood also said that his relationship with his father was thin, to him, Mason Lockwood was like a stranger, better off dead.
The guilt towards Beatrice Sutton.
The gratitude towards Adrian Lockwood.
All transford into years of hard-working dedication after marriage.
Serena Sinclair even secretly swore to spend a lifeti loving Adrian Lockwood, respecting Beatrice Sutton, as a substitute for her mom’s atonent.
Unfortunately, tis change, and people transform.
"What happened back then, only heaven and earth know, you and I know."
Heart pounding rapidly, not knowing whether Serena learned sothing.
Beatrice Sutton’s face was white as paper.
Serena’s cold voice said, "Ten years imprisonnt, a kidney and a life... the debt to your Lockwood Family has been paid off by and my mom!!!"
What truly happened back then, only Beatrice Sutton, Selene Sumrs, and Mason Lockwood who died, knew.
After the incident, Selene Sumrs was taken by the police imdiately, Serena Sinclair couldn’t even speak to her.
Afterwards, Selene confessed, and the court sentenced her.
With quarterly visitations, because Serena obsessed over what happened that night, Selene Sumrs stopped seeing her.
It was then Serena stopped ntioning it.
But to this day, Serena couldn’t believe her mom would kill soone.
That mom who taught her to be a person before doing things since she was sensible.
That mom beaten and bloodied wouldn’t make a sound, fearing her concern.
That mom who taught and educated, being an example as a teacher.
She absolutely wouldn’t commit murder!
The scene fell into deathly silence.
Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang tily, and a trembling servant went up to open the door.
It was then that Chloe Lynch arrived.
When Adrian Lockwood encountered Serena Sinclair, he was on the phone with her, hearing the sharp distinction of "where’s the gift," Chloe knew Serena ca empty-handed.
Regarding her relationship with Adrian Lockwood.
The first step was to force Serena Sinclair out.
The second step was to ascend in status.
Thus, there was no better opportunity for her to make an entrance than today.
So, she ca.
"Aunt..."
Though startled by what she saw, Chloe Lynch could still wear a graceful smile, her waist elegantly moving forward, "I heard from President Lockwood that today is your birthday. Happy birthday to you, a little token, please accept it!"
Chloe Lynch smiled as she handed over the gift box.
Then, she looked at Adrian Lockwood, her eyes bright and soft.
Before her was the young and pretty, smiling Chloe Lynch.
A few steps away was Serena Sinclair glaring at her like a ghost.
Even a fool knew whom to choose.
Suppressing the panic within, Beatrice Sutton took the gift, smiling broadly, "Thank you, Chloe, Auntie really likes it!"
Chloe Lynch responded with a smile.
Her gaze swept over the lake blue gown Serena was wearing, Chloe then looked at Adrian Lockwood, not uttering a word, yet her eyes filled with grievance.
"I’m sorry!"
Adrian Lockwood’s voice was soft, "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to pick sothing better!"
Chloe Lynch nodded with a smile, winking playfully at Miles Lockwood cradled in Adrian Lockwood’s arms.
"Aunt Chloe..."
Miles Lockwood grinned broadly, reaching out towards Chloe Lynch.
The awkward, embarrassing situation instantly shattered with Chloe Lynch’s advent.
Beatrice Sutton breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Serena Sinclair, her face turned particularly unpleasant, "Divorce, right? Fine, roll away! ...If it weren’t for Adrian, I wouldn’t have let you into the Lockwood’s house even if I had died. Making you Mrs. Lockwood allowed you to enjoy years of luxury, what a bargain for you!"
"Adrian..."
As if feeling not vindicated enough, Beatrice Sutton turned to Adrian Lockwood, "The company was built by and your dad from scratch, the house and car, you bought them, don’t give her a penny."
"Mom..."
Adrian Lockwood frowned, signaling Beatrice Sutton to stop.
Zoe Lockwood jumped out, as quiet as a mouse, "And there’s that one million!"
"Mom, for your birthday, my brother transferred a million to her, asking her to pick out a gift for you. Guess what, she took the money but didn’t buy any gifts, how shaless!"
Wanting to incite chaos, Zoe Lockwood added fuel to the fire.
Furious enough to tremble, Serena pulled out her phone.
Ding!
On the table, Adrian Lockwood’s phone screen lit up.
Serena refunded that one million transfer.
"Twenty-one days..."
Pale-faced, Serena raised her eyes to look at Adrian Lockwood, "Adrian Lockwood, see you at the civil affairs bureau’s entrance in 21 days! Whoever doesn’t show is the grandchild!!!"
Serena turned to leave.
Adrian Lockwood’s voice sounded from behind, "Wait..."
