Chapter 281


    “How can a young person go to bed so early?” Louisa suddenly understood. No wonder Be sounded


    a bit off when she called this morning. Did Brooklyn give her


    trouble?


    Did the designer from the Reed family also join the designpetition today?


    Thinking about it, Keh asked a bit angrily, “Is this injury on your hand rted to her? If it is, I’ll


    make the Reed family exin!”


    “This has nothing to do with others.” Arabe said, looking at Serena, “Aren’t you going to make a


    phone call?”


    Serena had to reluctantly take out her phone. If she made the call, wouldn’t all the lies be exposed?


    How could she live with herself after that?


    “Ms. Be, Serena has always treated you like her own sister. You misunderstood–her


    Martha said, pretending to be heartbroken, “In Serena’s heart, you hold the highest ce. How could


    she possibly badmouth you, hurt your feelings, and destroy this precious sisterhood?”


    Arabe was annoyed. So all of this was her fault? Serena was innocent?


    “Martha.” Louisa reached out to stop her from continuing: “I know very well what kind of person Serena


    is, but Be isn’t someone who talks nonsense and creates trouble for no reason. Brooklyn is someone


    I’ve watched grow up since she was a kid. Even though she’s a bit spoiled, she wouldn’t be so


    unreasonable.”


    Hearing this, Martha and Serena felt a sense of unease.


    “If Brooklyn knew that Be was my biological daughter and her engagement with Romeo was justified,


    and they both really liked each other. If she knew Serena’s status, she wouldn’t easily give Be


    trouble.”

    There were only two possibilities. One was that she didn’t know Serena was adopted, and the other


    was that she didn’t know Be’s real identity.


    So, did Serena not tell her, or did she deliberately hide it from her, misleading her? This was important.


    “If that girl from the Reed family thought that Be stole Serena’s fiancée, then what would Be


    be?”


    A shameless person who destroyed other people’s rtionships? A scheming girl?


    “That’s a serious issue. If it’s your friend who misunderstood, you should call her and exin


    everything. Louisa said,


    With tears in her eyes, Serena said in a pitiful voice, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll call Brooklyn right


    now.”


    “Put it on speaker; I want to hear what she has to say.”


    “Madam?” Martha looked surprised. “Don’t you trust Serena? You weren’t like this before Ms. Be


    came home.”


    Tears streamed down Serena’s face. She felt wronged.


    “Be suffered for eighteen years outside. Since the moment she stepped into this house, I have made


    a vow in my heart that from now on, I will protect her and not


    let her get hurt!”


    Louisa looked at Martha and said, “Our whole family has regarded Serena as our own child for thest


    eighteen years. Even after Be came back, our care and concern for Serena haven’t lessened! We’re


    just showing a little more concern for Be now! Is that wrong?”


    Seeing this, Martha immediately changed her attitude and hurriedly said, “Madam, you misunderstood;


    of course it’s right.”


    “Now that I know about this, I can’t let my biological daughter be subject to all these rumors! I must find


    out what’s really going on. Go make the call; call Brooklyn”


    The truth would soone out.


    Serena knew she couldn’t avoid it. With tears streaming down her face, she dialed Brooklyn’s alternate


    number.
