53: Chapter 53: Older Age Can Be Painful 53: Chapter 53: Older Age Can Be Painful The second son, Declan Sumrs, is a well-known actor in the entertainnt industry, having acted in many classic works.
The classic scenes he had acted in were edited into short videos by nurous uploaders and posted online, with views exceeding millions.
The third son, Evan Sumrs, has a pampered and ostentatious personality and is currently a junior at S University’s dical School.
The three older brothers always treated Grace Sumrs as their own little sister, especially Evan.
The first day Serena Sumrs was brought back to the Sumrs Family, Evan inexplicably ca over to warn her not to bully Grace.
Later on, whenever Grace showed a hint of feeling wronged, Evan would lay all the bla on Serena, convinced that Serena was the one bullying Grace.
Previously, Evan had never ntioned having another sister.
So, Serena never imagined that this online friend with whom she got along so well would turn out to be her real-life brother, Evan, who always found fault with her and spoke to her harshly.
Evan, imrsed in his own emotions, completely missed the peculiar tone in Serena’s voice.
He snorted coldly, his tone full of mockery, “You tell , how could a girl who doesn’t know self-love and is ill-mannered possibly be my sister?”
“Our Grace is the best, kind and considerate, empathetic, and learned.
Not like so people who could even pull off eloping.”
Eloping.
Hmph…
Serena’s fair face darkened, and her red lips pressed into a taut line, “Did you see her elope with soone with your own eyes?”
“…No, that I didn’t, but with Serena’s spoilt and willful temper, it wouldn’t be unlike her to do such a thing,” Evan did hesitate for a mont but was ultimately persuaded by Mrs.
Sumrs.
Serena scoffed silently in her heart and said to Evan, “Let’s et.
Tomorrow morning at ten, at the coffee shop near S University.
I’ll wait for you.”
After that, she logged out of her ga account directly.
Evan was perplexed, but soon the excitent of eting his elder brother overshadowed his confusion.
Lying in bed, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Judging by the voice, his elder brother should be a sweet girl.
It’s a pity though, how could she marry so young?
The next morning, Stephen Lawrence woke to see a slender figure standing by his bed.
Startled, he quickly crawled out of bed, not forgetting to pull the covers up.
“What’s with the early visit?
There isn’t class today, is there?”
Evan stood in front of a full-length mirror trying on clothes, his handso face brimming with joy and excitent.
“My elder brother asked to et , this morning.”
Stephen imdiately beca interested, “Really?”
Stephen had also played gas with Serena.
Having witnessed Serena’s prowess, he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Evan was going to et her and leaped out of bed excitedly.
With a look of enthusiasm, Stephen wrapped his arms around Evan’s neck and said, “Buddy, take with you, will you?”
Evan pushed him away with a look of disgust, “In your dreams.
I’m eting my elder brother; what’s that got to do with you?”
Stephen, with a pained and aggrieved expression, protested quietly, “How can you say that!
We’re good brothers, your elder brother is my elder brother too!”
Evan rolled his eyes, not in the mood to bother with him, and continued to pick his clothes.
Looking at himself in the mirror, a sense of expectation welled up inside him.
Wondering what his elder brother looked like.
With such a sweet voice, the person must be beautiful, right?
For so reason, the image of Serena’s face, as delicate and lovely as a porcelain doll, flashed through Evan’s mind.
Although Serena was spoilt and willful, that face was definitely the prettiest Evan had ever seen.
Realizing what he was thinking, Evan quickly shook his head, revealing a trace of disgust.
After Serena was brought to the Sumrs Family, she had been bullying Grace both openly and in secret, and now she had even run off with soone, utterly disgraceful to the Sumrs’ family na.
She’s not fit to be my sister, not at all.
Shaw Mansion.
After arranging a eting ti with Evan Sumrs, Serena Sumrs hung up the phone and sat on the bed, her downcast eyes unusually still and silent.
That is the scene Lucas Shaw walked into when he entered the bedroom.
The girl who was usually full of bubbling enthusiasm now hung her head, her cherry lips tightly pursed, her eyelashes slightly drooping to cast two small shadows on her eyelids, making her seem a bit downhearted.
Lucas Shaw quickly walked over to sit beside Serena Sumrs.
He tilted his head, looking at the little girl imrsed in her thoughts, “What’s wrong?
Not happy?
Did soone bully you?”
Aside from Elena Ryan and grandfather, everyone at Shaw Mansion was both shocked by and fearful of Lucas Shaw, not daring to provoke him easily.
During the few days Serena Sumrs had been at the Shaw Mansion, the servants knew that she was under his protection and wouldn’t dare to bully her.
Who had the gall to bully her?
Lucas Shaw’s expression suddenly turned grim, an icy and powerful aura emanating from him.
Serena Sumrs looked up, her eyes slightly red, her small mouth turned down as if she was a wronged kitten seeking her owner’s comfort.
Lucas Shaw gently raised his hand and softly rubbed the top of Serena Sumrs’ hair, his icy deanor receding, and asked, “Who’s bullying you?”
Serena Sumrs’ lips pursed slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she said Evan Sumrs’ na.
“I previously thought that as long as I severed ties with the Sumrs Family, they wouldn’t have the right to insult at will anymore.
I didn’t expect them to concoct a story about eloping with so old man and being kept by him!”
It drove her mad!
This was the first ti Serena Sumrs had encountered the shaless likes of the Sumrs Family.
Old man Lucas Shaw: “…”
He coughed lightly, touching his chin while a hint of doubt flashed through his dark eyes.
“Do I look that old?”
Serena Sumrs: “…”
Is that the point?
“Not old, not old.
A bit older ans more caring.”
Lucas Shaw felt a lump in his throat, unsure what to say in the mont.
She looked up, frustrated, “Husband, has the financing Shaw Group promised to Sumrs Group arrived?”
Lucas Shaw nodded with a somber expression, “The day you ca to the Shaw Mansion, grandfather personally signed the investnt agreent with Henry Sumrs.
With the injection of funds from Shaw Group, Sumrs Group is already seeing improvents.”
Serena Sumrs scoffed coldly, an icy and piercing chill in her almond eyes.
Improvents?
Gains made by selling their daughter, yet they have the gall to enjoy them without a hint of remorse!
“That money should have never gone to them!
A bunch of ungrateful wretches, they don’t deserve Shaw Group’s financing!”
Just thinking about those people continuing to enjoy a life of luxury with the money they got from “selling” her, Serena Sumrs was incensed.
Seeing Serena Sumrs angry, Lucas Shaw spoke with a soothing low voice, “Don’t worry, Henry Sumrs has no idea how to run a company.
The Sumrs Family has been losing money for years.
Henry Sumrs is very arrogant, so even with the Shaw Group’s financing, Sumrs Group will still go bankrupt.”
It was only a matter of ti.
Serena Sumrs did not speak.
Bankruptcy?
That would be letting them off too easily.
She looked up at Lucas Shaw, “Husband, can I get a copy of the agreent and the transfer records of the financing Shaw Group made with Henry Sumrs?”
Back when she was with the Sumrs Family, Evan Sumrs would only call her things like bumpkin, dead girl, ill-mannered, only capable of embarrassing the Sumrs Family…
She really wanted to see what his face would look like when he saw this agreent.
