    Reflections Mansion.


    Keh and Louisa were utterly shocked upon hearing that George had lost his temper and hit


    someone in defense of Be.


    In their eyes, George was not a man prone to anger or violence, especially not in public.


    "That just goes to show how much Mr. McMillian cherishes his daughter-inw, Be. He can''t bear to


    see her treated unfairly; Edith, their housekeeper, said with a grin, "Be is truly blessed to have such


    caring inws."


    "I heard that a couple of days ago, Jennifer even stood up for Be and put the Evert family''s daughter


    in her ce,’ Louisa added, feeling a wave of emotion. It was clear to her that George and Jennifer saw


    Be as their own daughter and went to great lengths to protect her.


    With such inws, she was confident that Be would lead a happy life in the future.


    "They''reing over tonight. Edith, have you prepared everything I asked for?" Louisa suddenly


    asked.


    George and Jennifer were to visit that evening on Be''s behalf.

    Jennifer had arranged to go shopping with Be to not only buy her things but also to pick out gifts for


    Keh and Louisa.


    However, Louisa was unaware of that.


    "Madam, everything is ready;'' Edith answered, smiling, "The house has been thoroughly cleaned, fresh


    flowers have been ced in the vases, and there''s no shortage of pastries and fruits. We''re just waiting


    for their arrival."


    "Good, good,’ Louisa nced at the clock, noting that they had two hours left until the agreed meeting


    time. She was filled with anticipation.


    At that moment, Serena entered the gate of Reflections Mansion, noticing the considerable changes in


    and around the house. The garden was adorned with a variety of new flowers, each blooming vibrantly.


    "Serena, you''re finally here; Martha pulled her aside and whispered, "Have you decided on the piece


    for tonight''s performance? And your dress? Do you need my help?"


    “Martha, I''m not here to steal the spotlight,’ Serena said, revealing her true intentions to her, "I''m on


    vacation and I missed my parents, so I decided to stay here for a few days. After I greet everyone


    tonight, I''ll just go to my room. I don''t want to disturb them."


    "Serena, you''re still as stubborn as ever!" Martha eximed in frustration. She was disappointed to see


    that Serena had changed so much ever since she was frightened by an incident with Chasel and Myrna


    Ger.


    This evening presented a rare opportunity. If she could impress Romeo''s parents, bing the future


    daughter-inw of the McMillian family wouldn''t be a problem!


    After all, even if Romeo loved Be, could he really go against his parent''s wishes and marry her


    directly?


    "Mr. and Mrs. McMillian have watched you grow up all these years.


    They surely feel more affection for you than for Be."


    Yet, she was doing nothing on her behalf to grab that golden opportunity!


    "Martha, didn''t you just say in our WhatsApp group that Mr. George and Jennifer have already taken


    Be''s side twice? They must really like her. I don''t want to waste my time orpete anymore. There


    are plenty of men in the world besides Romeo. Worst case scenario, I''ll remain single forever."


    "But he''s the best, the most capable, the most protective, and the most deserving of you!" Martha said


    passionately, her voice heavy, "Serena, I''ve watched you grow day by day. I truly can''t bear to see you


    fall from the pedestal of a golden girl to an ordinary citizen.


    Can you understand my feelings?"


    Just then, Serena noticed Be entering through the mansion gate.


    "Alright, Martha, let''s leave it at that. I''m going to my room now: "Serena, Serena.’ Martha called after


    her, frustrated by her nonchnce.


    Just as Serena was about to climb the steps to the main building, she heard Martha yelp. Turning back,


    she saw Be standing coldly beside Martha, who had fallen to the ground.


    Rushing over, Serena helped Martha up, asking, "Martha? Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?",
