Chapter 424
Tears welled up in Serena’s eyes and began to roll down her cheeks.
"You heard it yourself," Martha started. "They’ve been giving spending money to Ms. Rose. They were bedridden for months, and the first thing they did when they woke up wasn’t to check on you, but to transfer money to Ms. Rose. What does that tell you? They care more about their real granddaughter. To them, you’re nothing more than a stranger."
Serena’s heart ached even more.
"They’re family, after all. Ms. Rose only visited them a few times, yet their bond is so strong. They text and call each other every day. Look at your phone—how many messages, calls, or monetary transfers have they sent you since they woke up?"
The light in Serena’s eyes dimmed. The answer was none. Not a single one.
They hadn’t transferred any money to her, nor had they sent her a single message of care.
"Martha..."
Martha sighed. "Serena, you’ve been protected too well all these years. You don’t understand the complexities of society and the wickedness of people. I’ve tried to warn you many times, but you wouldn’t listen. If you had been more realistic back then and fought for your share, you wouldn’t be left with nothing now."
Serena looked at her blankly. "What share are you talking about?"
"Of course, I’m talking about the company dividends. Don’t you want to receive a monthly dividend from the company just like your brothers? It’s a substantial amount of money. And while your parents still hold a bit of affection for you, you could ask for more properties, more storefronts. Whatever you can get now is a bonus. Your wedding gift will depend on their goodwill. Or at the very least, get them to buy you a few limited-edition supercars, branded bags, and luxury watches. If you ever need money, you can sell those for a good price."
Serena’s eyes dimmed again. "But what I want is their love."
