The live stream audience was stunned. Previously, the incident had caused Rosemary to be viciously attacked online internationally. If it weren’t for Sampson stepping in to cool things down, she might have been blasted from abroad all the way back home.
Now, many realized they had misunderstood this filial young woman, who was merely buying gifts for her uncle, and never expected to stir up such a backlash. Some netizens even started to apologize to Rosemary online.
"All the suits, the cufflinks, it’s all from Rose," Sampson said, casting another warm glance at his niece.
People began to notice that Rosemary wasn’t just generous. She had impeccable taste. The clothes and accessories she chose for Sampson made him look even more dashing and youthful.
[At last, I can speak up! I was the jewelry store clerk who served Mr. Sampson and Ms. Rose. She showered him with gifts, and he was so touched that he brought her back to our store to pick out jewelry for herself. Whenever Sampson heard about something that would complement Rose’s style, he’d have it wrapped up.]
[Rose was reluctant to let him pay, but Sampson boldly declared that if she didn’t let him buy the gifts, he’d just buy the entire brand and put it in her name.]
[He really treats Rose so well!]
[Their relationship isn’t for show, it’s genuine care. I think being Rose’s uncle or Sampson’s niece must be such a joy.]
[And just to let you know, Mr. Sampson bought a ton of jewelry for his niece. He truly dotes on her!]
Many netizens were green with envy.
Elsewhere.
A reporter saw Sean alone and thought it was an opportunity to get a scoop, so he scurried over for an interview.
"May I ask, Mr. Collins, do you still consider Serena Collins your sister?"
Sean’s gaze lifted and narrowed ever so slightly, the dangerous aura around him sending shivers down the reporter’s spine.
Had she stepped on a landmine?
The reporter was taken aback.
The image was all shaky!
The cameraman was not just scared; his body was betraying him!
Everyone was shocked.
Someone approached Sean, looking to share a couple of drinks, but he casually remarked, "Now, I’ve got my little sis watching over me. I’ll stick to water, thanks."
Water? At a gathering like this?
The once jovial Sean, a man never seen without a wine in hand, was sipping on water?
The guests were flabbergasted.
They watched in disbelief as Sean actually raised his glass of water for a toast. Panicked, they hurriedly lowered their own glasses a touch to show deference. After clinking glasses with him, they
saw Sean nearly finished his drink and quickly downed theirs as well.
Tears brimmed in Serena’s eyes, a mix of shame and anger boiling within her.
Was this really necessary?
Did Sean truly need to humiliate her so publicly at such a grand affair?
So what if she wasn’t his biological sister? So what if she didn’t carry the Collins family blood or had once been cruel to Rosemary? Did that warrant such harsh treatment?
Was all his past kindness just an act?
"Serena, don’t cry." Dora, although aware of Serena’s past mistakes, knew that now Serena was her charge, her mistress. In that moment, all she could do was offer a tissue and a comforting word.
Watching the reporters flock to her brothers, Serena felt even worse.
Hunter, the eldest, declared, "From the moment Serena tried to harm Rose, she is no longer my sister."
