Chapter 777


    The other girls looked at her, their eyes filled with sympathy for her.


    Catching her fiancé cheating would be a tough pill to swallow for anyone.


    "Serena, men are like that. They party hard and y around before marriage, but they settle down

    afterward,’ One of them offered her point of view.


    "You guys aren''t even officially married yet, let him go out and have his fun for a couple more years. By


    the time you graduate and be thedy of the McMillian family, let''s see if those girls still dare to


    approach him; Another one suggested.


    "Well, he is Romeo after all. These girls are all over him, but doesn''t that just prove how outstanding he


    is?" Another one chimed in.


    "Once he''s had his fun, he''ll realize that you''re the best, and he''ll focus all his attention on you,’ thest


    one assured her.


    But those words offort didn''t help Serena at all. She looked up, her eyes filled with sadness, and


    asked, "If I wasn''t the


    heiress of the Collins family, would you all still be my friend?"


    "Serena, what kind of question is that? We''re friends with you because of your kindness, not because


    of your family background!" One of them retorted.


    "Yeah, look at the heiress of the Bradshaw family in our school, I don''t even bother to talk with her.’


    "Serena, are you hiding something? If there''s anything troubling you, just tell us, and we''ll help you


    solve it."


    Serena wanted to speak up several times, but, in the end, she kept silent. She lost her appetite and just


    picked at her food.


    On her way back to school, Serena received another call from


    Martha. Apparently, Romeo''s parents wereing to visit in a day or two.


    Martha advised her to take a leave of absence to go home and make a good impression on Romeo''s


    parents, hoping to outshine Arabe.


    To turn the tide.


    But recalling theughing and chatting between Romeo''s parents and Arabe, Serena knew that no


    matter how hard she tried, it seemed impossible to surpass Arabe in their hearts as it seemed like


    they were happy with Arabe.


    Everyone in the McMillian family, from the grandparents to the aunts and uncles, seemed to have a soft


    spot for Arabe.


    Martha went on and on over the phone, urging her not to give up and to keep on trying her best. She


    even said that during


    Arabe''s absence, their parents missed her and mentioned her more often than they did Serena.


    That suggested that Arabe''s status in their parents’ hearts had increased while her status had


    decreased.


    Martha went on to say that if things continued like that, her ce in the family would slowly be taken


    over by Arabe.


    "Serena, it''s not that I want to criticize, but you''re too kind. You''re trying to make amends with her,


    bringing her food and drinks,


    checking on her, but has she ever responded to your efforts? To be honest, she doesn''t need a sister


    right now. Your existence only threatens her ce in the family. Serena, it''s time for you to wake up.


    You''ve humiliated yourself, and all you''ve got in return is more and more disdain and contempt from


    your family."


    Martha''s words echoed in Serena''s mind. She didn''t know what she had done wrong and why it was so


    hard to change.


    Did she still need to persevere?


    The next afternoon, Arabe arrived at the location Jennifer had booked as agreed.


    It was a trendy restaurant where therge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed a close-up view of


    Astronisia''s biggest Ferris wheel. The beautiful seascapes were truly a sight to behold.
