Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771: Chapter 772

"Given what you know about Serena, what do you think the chances are she actually said those things?" Kenneth and Louisa peered anxiously at Rosemary, as if on tenterhooks for her verdict.

"One hundred percent."

Rosemary’s unequivocal response floored Kenneth and Louisa.

"Has she been doing things behind our backs, things to hurt you, like disrespecting you, being two-faced, or maybe still carrying a torch for Romeo?"

"Yes."

The confirmation rocked Kenneth and Louisa to their core, "When did it start?"

Was it recent weeks? The past couple of months?

"Always."

"You’re saying, for the entire six months since you returned home, Serena has been like this? Just putting on a show for us?"

"Yes."

Rosemary’s final word left Kenneth and Louisa utterly stunned. They exchanged speechless glances, unable to articulate their disbelief.

"I’ve got some issues to sort out at the office. I should go," Rosemary stood up; she had urgent matters to attend to.

Louisa watched her leave, murmuring after a long silence, "How could this be?"

They had doted on Serena all her life, and she had always been the picture of sweetness and empathy in their eyes. They never imagined she would do such things behind their backs.

"I thought Serena and Rose would get along," Kenneth had not foreseen that Rose’s homecoming would change things.

"Rose must have turned a blind eye to Serena’s behavior because of the bond we’ve formed with Serena over these eighteen years." Louisa was suddenly overcome with sorrow, "We wanted to make it up to Rose, but instead, we’ve allowed her to be hurt under our very noses."

And the hurt was inflicted by the daughter they had cherished for eighteen years.

"Rose is naturally reserved and quiet. If we hadn’t brought it up today, if Serena hadn’t been this way for six months, I doubt she would have ever mentioned it. I bet she’s suffered a lot in silence," at the thought of this, Kenneth was wracked with guilt.

"She must have kept quiet about Serena’s actions to spare our feelings, to keep us from being upset.

She’s so considerate, it breaks my heart."

Louisa felt a lump in her throat, realizing that Rose had faced every slight, every hypocrisy from Serena alone, all the while caring for her parents’ emotions, never speaking ill of Serena, always the picture of forbearance.

"Serena must have been slandering Rose behind her back this whole time; otherwise, Rose wouldn’t be so certain it was her doing. Serena has become a stranger to us," Kenneth never imagined Serena changing this way.

"I thought all the talks we had with Serena had sunk in. She always called Rose ’sis’ and greeted her with such a bright smile. I was so pleased. To think it was all an act." Louisa felt a chill of disappointment and distress.

"If Serena and Rose truly can’t get along, there’s no point in forcing them to live under the same roof.

Let’s have her move out in a few days." Kenneth said with a heavy sigh.
