When Serena woke up, the first thing she saw was a video message from Sylvia, filmed in her own backyard.
In the video, Romeo and Rosemary were acting cozy, looking every bit the infatuated couple.
Serena’s mind reeled. Why was Sylvia at her house? Why was Rosemary home on a day she normally wasn’t? And why on earth was Romeo there?
After sending the video, Sylvia added a note:
[Serena, you were napping and didn’t see how deeply Romeo cares for you. He deliberately brought this girl to your garden, showing off their closeness to provoke you, hoping to win you back. Maybe you should reconsider returning to him. Seeing him like this, I can’t help but feel bad for him.]
This was a disaster!
If Sylvia found out Rosemary was actually the heiress of the house, and Romeo was Rosemary’s fiancé, then Serena’s true identity as the adopted daughter would be revealed!
In her rush to get out of bed, tangled in the duvet, Serena fell and banged her knee hard on the floor. Ignoring the pain, she raced to the garden.
Not just Sylvia, but Antonia, Melissa, Una, Christine—they were all there!
Standing face to face with them were Romeo, Rosemary, and Hunter, looking as though they were in a standoff.
Serena’s heart dropped. Did her best friends know her real identity? Why was Hunter there too? Had Rosemary called him?
Serena’s mind went blank.
Just then, Edith came up to her and said,
"Serena, Hunter would like to see you."
Only when she looked around did she notice everyone’s eyes on her, their expressions complex.
Serena felt weak, unsure of how she would get through this.
The last time she lied to her friend Delia—saying that Rosemary had charmed Kenneth and Louisa with her looks and good grades, becoming their goddaughter and a part of the family—Chasel’s girlfriend Myrna had called her out on it.
That day, Myrna not only called Chasel but also tricked Serena into going to Westerly College, saying Chasel wanted to have lunch with her.
When she got there in the sweltering heat, there were Delia and her friends—and Myrna.
She faked fainting on the spot.
But Chasel and Myrna saw through her, even suggesting Rosemary should examine her.
Eventually, the truth came out, and Delia and her friends stopped talking to her.
Should she fake fainting again this time? But Hunter, being as astute as he was, would undoubtedly see through her.
What should she do?
What should she do?
Out of all her brothers, Hunter was the hardest to deal with.
"Serena, Hunter and Mr. McMillian are aware of everything. It’s best if you just confess and stop fighting it."
Edith’s kindly advice only served to make Serena clench her fists. Even a servant dared to trample over her now?
"Serena, come here."
From a distance, Hunter called out to her, his expression cold.
