Chapter 341
“I’m telling you, in a few days, I’ll swing by your place too! You’re going to take me out to dinner, and I’ll eat even better than him. Then I’ll snap some photos to rub it in his face and show him that I’m living even better! Oh, by the way, the college entrance exam results are about to come out. I’ve got to say this now; you can’t consider other universities. Even if you want to check out other schools, you’ve got to remember me!”
Arabella, smiling, said, “Sure thing.”
Grandpa Beck rattled on for a bit more, then hung up the phone..
Serena; being helped into the room, placed a diamond bracelet into Martha’s hand and said, “I can’t wire money to Lily and Holly right now, and you can’t make it obvious. Find some people you trust and let them transfer some cash to Holly and Lily’s accounts.”
If it weren’t for their help today, her image would have been completely ruined!
“Remember, don’t leave any trace.”
“Rest assured, Miss.” Martha put away the bracelet, knowing that it was worth a hundred grand. She couldn’t help but ask, “So you mean, fifty grand each?” “Five grand is for you; the rest is split between them. You fell and hurt yourself while helping me today. If it weren’t for you speaking up for me and making up a boyfriend on the spot, my mom looked like she was going to eat me alive!”
The more Serena thought about it, the more pissed she was. “She promised to treat me like her own, but when there was a conflict of interest with her own daughter, she didn’t hesitate to back her own! In her eyes, I’m just an outsider!”
“Miss, the madam has already been very tolerant.”
“And my brother, he bought a gift for Arabella, but nothing for me!” Serena was livid. Nobody took her seriously. Why on earth did Arabella have to come back? Why did she have to come back and cause her trouble?
“Actually, Serena, the boyfriend I made up for you, you could consider continuing to play boy friend–girlfriend with Mr. Cooper. That way, your parents wouldn’t be suspicious! And our plan can proceed smoothly.”
That’s exactly what Serena was thinking. Although Martin wasn’t her ideal guy, even if he was a bit annoying, at least he could act as a shield. If anything comes up in the future, she could get him to do it!
After a while, Serena took out her phone and messaged him.
He immediately called back, excited, “Serena, have you finally accepted my pursuit? You’re willing to be my girlfriend? Fantastic!!”
“It’s just a trial, not officially dating.”
“Already giving me a chance–that’s enough to make me happy! Serena, can I come see you now? I have a lot to tell you!” Martin has liked her for six years, and he couldn’t wait to pamper her.
Seizing the opportunity, Serena hinted, “There’s a movie tonight; I heard it’s good.”
“What’s the name? I’ll fly back immediately to take you.”
Serena could hear him ordering plane tickets on the side; she couldn’t help but ask, “You’re abroad?”
“I accompanied my sister to Dawnstar for shopping and checked out our subsidiary here. Serena, do you like Dawnstar? When you’re free, I can show you the lavender fields here; they’re beautiful!”
“We’ll see.” Serena told him the movie name and hung up.
By dinner time, Edith and Martha had upstairs to call the two young ladies for dinner. They glanced at each other, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction and disgust, quickly looking away.
“Sir, Madam, and the five young masters have been with Serena for 18 years; this deep bond can’t be replaced by a bit of blood.”
As Martha went upstairs, her eyes fixed straight ahead and her tone arrogant.
Edith didn’t look at her; she looked ahead and coldly sneered, “Your injuries don’t hurt anymore? I thought this fall would knock some sense into you; I didn’t expect you to be even more stupid! If you can’t say something smart, shut up. Don’t show off your ‘intelligence‘ here.”
