Chapter 613
"Absolutely not!" Martha sympathized. "Have you forgotten? Last time, you were fooled by just a few words from Hunter. You naively thought they would treat everyone equally. If Hunter really saw you as his sister, he wouldn’t have warned you like that—let alone lock you up like he did today."
Serena let out a sorrowful laugh. If anyone knew that she had been locked in her room by Hunter for self-reflection...
The word would spread, and it would be so humiliating.
"Last time, I told you to take advantage of their affection for you. Either kick Rosemary out of the Collins family, strive for the maximum benefits within the family, or marry Mr. McMillian and become the most glamorous woman in the world. But you chose none of these paths. Instead, you came up with the most useless one—to build a good relationship with Rosemary and please everyone in the Collins family."
Only now did Serena realize how foolish she had been, thinking she could be real sisters with Rosemary.
"If I had listened to you earlier, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. I was the one who couldn’t let go, always holding onto a shred of illusion, always feeling that Hunter and the others could really be impartial."
"Ah, if they were truly fair, before Hunter asked you to talk on the terrace, they wouldn’t have planted her favorite flowers on Rose’s balcony."
That was not something Hunter would do!
If he was really fair, why did Rosemary have flowers, and Serena didn’t?
Everything that he had given Rosemary—like planting flowers, gifting a four-leaf clover necklace—were things that Serena had never owned.
Serena didn’t know how long she had been crying. For the first time, she realized that her tears seemed endless.
