Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692: Chapter 692

Serena hung her head low.

"It’s all my fault. I promise I’ll change."

"Serena, I’ve watched you grow up, and I know you’re a good kid at heart," Eunice said, looking at the girl before her and offering guidance.

"I won’t bore you with a sermon, but now that Rose has come back to this family, I hope you two can live in harmony. Be polite when you speak to her. She is your elder sister after all."

Serena nodded.

"I understand. I’ll try."

"There’s another thing I need to criticize you for," Eunice continued.

Serena, who had just started to relax, tensed up once more.

"I saw you, dragging your grandpa out for a walk and having the staff take pictures. If I’m not mistaken, you started running with him to make the pictures look better, didn’t you?"

Fear flashed across Serena’s face.

"Aunt Eunice, please, let me explain. I know it was wrong. I just wanted to take more photos with Grandpa as keepsakes."

"Your grandpa just had surgery. Rose just saved his life, and here you are, playing around. What if something dangerous had happened? It wouldn’t just be on you. How would your uncle and I explain this to the rest of the family? After all, he fell while he was in our care."

Eunice was known for her straightforwardness.

"I know kids your age love to post on Facebook, but you can’t disregard your grandpa’s health for some online likes. It was so cold, even from a distance, I could see him hunched over from the chill."

In truth, Serena had also noticed her grandpa shivering from the cold, but she had hoped he could endure a little longer for the sake of the pictures—even though she herself was shivering.

"Also, about the birthday party last night—I didn’t take you because it was a setup, a trap. You have no idea what Rose and I went through. It’s not something you could have handled."

Upon hearing this, Serena suddenly felt there was more to last night’s party than she had known. Why did her aunt think she couldn’t handle it, yet Rosemary could?

"Rose has been through a lot and has made many sacrifices for our family. You don’t have to be best friends, but at the very least, you should treat each other with respect. If you can’t even manage basic courtesy, then why bother living under the same roof?"

Serena lifted her eyes, looking at her aunt in astonishment.

"I won’t say anymore. Rose has finally come back to this family, and like everyone else, I don’t want her to be mistreated again. Think about what I’ve said."

With that, Eunice turned and left, bumping into Bard as she exited the tea room.

Bard had just finished applying medicine to his father, who had fallen asleep. Remembering his wife was waiting outside, he went to find her.

He hadn’t expected to walk into the middle of a conversation between his wife and his niece, having overheard everything from the tea room.

He motioned for his wife to talk somewhere more private, away from the tea room. Once they were alone, Bard asked in a low voice,

"What’s going on?"

Eunice succinctly recounted the events, leaving Bard in disbelief. When had Serena become so evil?

Was it her dragging Darren out for a walk in sub-zero weather just for a Facebook photo? Was it her causing both of them to fall and then instructing the staff to keep quiet about it? Was it her disrespect towards Rosemary, the underhanded tactics?

Bard suddenly felt as if his niece had become a stranger.

Was it because they hadn’t been in touch for so long, or was this who she truly was deep down?

"We’ll have to keep a closer watch," Eunice said.

"Even though we’re just her aunt and uncle and shouldn’t interfere too much, if Serena refuses to mend her ways, her presence is not good for Rose. It might be better to set her up in her own place. She’s eighteen now—an adult."

Bard nodded, seeing the sense in his wife’s words.
