78: Chapter 78 How do you know I never said that?
Unexpectedly, the Sumrs Family still managed to take advantage.
I wonder if I can ever take it back!
Serena Sumrs quietly thought.
Evan Sumrs’ face stiffened as he suddenly rembered the broken phone.
“Serena, why wouldn’t you talk about these things before?”
Evan Sumrs looked at Serena Sumrs, his eyes filled with guilt.
He had never known that Serena Sumrs was even worse off than a servant in the Sumrs Family.
If only she would have spoken up…
“Giggling…”
Serena Sumrs couldn’t help but laugh so hard she bent over, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Her laughter, clear and pleasant as silver bells, lingered in Evan Sumrs’ ears, but his heart couldn’t help but sink.
“Evan, you are really too naive.
How do you know I never ntioned it?”
After she had laughed enough, Serena Sumrs tightened her face and squinted at Evan Sumrs without blinking an eye.
How do you know I never ntioned it…
Evan Sumrs felt a shiver as he was stared at, his mind suddenly exploding.
He panicked, getting up and fleeing the Shaw Family.
He didn’t even dare to take another look at Serena Sumrs.
Those clear, spring-like eyes seed to peer into one’s soul, exposing all filth and unsightliness.
Watching Evan Sumrs flee, Serena Sumrs couldn’t help but sneer.
She had ntioned her plight before, but any hint of aggrievance was t with ridicule without explanation.
The Sumrs Family would also assu she coveted Grace Sumrs’ belongings.
Over ti, she simply stopped speaking.
Rembering the past, Serena Sumrs took a deep breath, suddenly overwheld by a sense of inexplicable sadness.
When she learned that her parents were still alive, she was overjoyed and wanted to tell her master and three senior brothers imdiately.
But later, she found out that her biological parents didn’t seem to be looking forward to her return.
Her brothers had found a new favorite.
Whenever Serena Sumrs appeared in front of that girl, even slightly close, it was misinterpreted as having ill intentions.
They hated her like a thief, convinced she was an utterly despicable and scheming person.
She didn’t even have the chance to explain.
“Madam, are you alright?”
Sister Green walked to the couch without notice.
She looked at Serena Sumrs, her eyes full of concern.
Serena Sumrs returned from her mories, chuckling and shook her head.
Seeing concern in Sister Green’s eyes, Serena Sumrs reassured her with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, Sister Green, I’m fine.”
Sister Green frowned worriedly, helplessly sighed, “Madam, the Sumrs Family is truly shaless, treating you like that before, and now they still have the nerve to ask you for help!”
“So people, they only believe what they want to believe.
As for the truth, they simply don’t care.”
Serena Sumrs’ eyes narrowed slightly, her lips curling into a cold smile.
The Sumrs Family has always been full of themselves, especially Evan Sumrs.
Among the three Sumrs brothers, Evan Sumrs was the fondest of Grace Sumrs.
Initially, the one who ridiculed and taunted her the most was also Evan Sumrs.
I wonder if Evan Sumrs will continue to deceive himself when the truth is revealed?
She looked forward to seeing Evan Sumrs’ performance next.
Sister Green looked at Serena Sumrs with pity, as if looking at a little one deprived of affection.
“Madam, would you like so dessert?
I heard that having so dessert can lift one’s spirits.” Sister Green was worried that Serena Sumrs might be stricken by Evan Sumrs’ visit.
Although it was presumptuous, she gathered the courage to say it.
“Sure.
Thank you, Sister Green.”
Serena Sumrs smiled at Sister Green, her clear eyes sparkling with bright, dazzling starlight.
Her whole deanor was unnaturally gentle and soft.
Sister Green lowered her eyes, sighing inwardly with regret, then turned to the kitchen.
Shortly after, she retrieved a chilled small cake from the refrigerator.
Elsewhere.
Evan Sumrs fled the Shaw Family’s ho in a panic, his whole being suddenly becoming disoriented.
He wandered aimlessly along the roadside, Grace’s last words echoing in his mind, “How do you know I haven’t said it?”
Evan slowly crouched down, wrapping his arms tightly around his head and burying his face deep into his knees.
A tide of remorse and guilt surged through him like a wave.
Indeed, he rembered.
Serena had ntioned needing a change of clothes.
It was her third day back ho.
That day, he had been dragged by Grace Sumrs to go shopping at the mall.
Grace liked all kinds of beautiful and exquisite dresses and jewelry, insisting on buying anything she took a liking to.
That day, he bought Grace a dozen pieces of clothing, three or four sets of diamond jewelry, and several shoes and bags…
Upon arriving ho, he bumped into Serena.
Her gaze fixed on the shopping bags in his hands, a flicker of hope passing through her eyes.
Back then, Serena still harbored a bit of hope for familial affection.
However, what did he do?
He hid the shopping bags behind him and glared fiercely at Serena, warning her: “These are all for Grace, don’t even think about coveting them!”
Serena looked up, her clear eyes trembling slightly as she ekly said, “Big brother, I have no clothes to change into, could you possibly…”
“You must be dreaming!
Bringing you back to the Sumrs Family was already more than generous.
Everything in the Sumrs Family is for Grace, you shouldn’t even think about touching them!”
With those words, he left without looking back.
Evan had never considered how deeply those words would hurt Serena, who had just been brought back ho.
Suddenly rembering sothing, Evan quickly stood up and ran in the direction of the Sumrs Family ho.
Sumrs Family.
After Evan left, Grace imdiately rushed to the restroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her pale face, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Her makeup skills were indeed superb, almost flawless.
Grace examined the fragile and sowhat sorrowful face in the mirror, frowning slightly.
It seed not pitiful enough.
For better effect, she hurriedly took out an eyebrow pencil from the drawer and redid her eyebrows.
A slightly furrowed brow made her appear even more woeful, eliciting pity.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Grace was satisfied with the curve of her lips.
The next second, Evan’s voice ca from outside.
“Grace, are you in the restroom?”
Grace was startled by the sound, nearly dropping the eyebrow pencil.
She nervously patted her chest and quickly responded, “Yes, I am!”
She hurriedly checked her reflection in the mirror, then breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out.
She had entered the entertainnt industry years ago, so she knew how to leverage her facial features.
Thus, when Evan saw Grace coming out of the restroom, she appeared even paler and weaker.
Her shoulders were gaunt, her eyebrows tightly knit, and her face bore an unwavering sorrow, as if she might faint at any second.
However, Evan’s mind was filled with Serena’s words, and he failed to notice the change in Grace’s complexion.
“Big brother, you ca back so quickly?” Grace looked at Evan in surprise.
