Chapter 563
Serena’s eyes widened slightly. Was someone finally different from the others?
"You were pampered for eighteen years. Then one day, a girl comes along—and she is the real heiress of this family. You’re told you have no blood ties to this family, and you’re someone else’s child. Everyone tries to make up for her, treating her with more affection than they once had for you. You can’t say that doesn’t hurt."
It seemed like Sampson could read her mind, causing Serena’s eyes to well up with tears.
"But think about it from her perspective. Because of a mistake, she suffered at the Harris family for eighteen years. Now that she’s returned to her biological family, isn’t it normal for everyone to treat her well and make it up to her?"
Serena looked up. It did make sense, but it hurt so much. She felt so much jealousy and sadness.
"Who poses the biggest threat to her position when she returned? Isn’t it you, who was doted upon by the family for eighteen years?" Sampson hit the nail on the head. "But she didn’t kick you out immediately. Instead, she allowed you to continue enjoying the luxury that was originally hers."
Serena was taken aback, suddenly understanding the situation.
"She didn’t resent, get angry, or jealous that you stole her family and enjoyed the life she should have had for the past eighteen years. She didn’t hold it against you. Doesn’t it show that she’s willing to accept you?"
Serena’s tears welled up in her eyes, a bit stunned.
"From your conversation just now, it’s obvious there are some small frictions between you two. Like just now—even though you were a bit too assertive—she didn’t threaten to kick you out of the house, but calmly explained not to overthink. In my understanding of her, she’s already making the biggest compromise.
Where’s yours? I didn’t see it."
