Chapter 1020


    "I''m alright."


    Serena forced herself to steady her emotions, quickly shooting a message to Martha.


    (Martha, are you certain? Did David really give the concert tickets to Arabe?]


    (I was right there when your mom called, no doubt about it! Not only did David give Arabe the ticket,


    he gave her the best seats!]


    Perhaps sensing Serena''s heartache, Martha couldn''t help but express her outrage.


    [David''s being totally out of line. He tells you there are no tickets left and then just turns around and


    hands them to his own little sister. He''s not considering your feelings at allt]


    The term "little sister" pierced Serena''s heart like a dagger.


    She couldn''t believe that David, who had been so gentle on the phone just moments ago, had lied to


    her!


    [You mentioned earlier that Hans already has a date for the charity dinner next week. It''s not Arabe,


    is it?] Martha messaged again.


    Serena hesitated. It couldn''t be.


    (Serena, I don''t know if you''ve noticed, but Arabe''s status in their eyes seems to be getting higher


    and higher while you are bing less and less important]


    Unable to keep her emotions in check, Serena excused herself to the restroom, leaving her friends in a


    state of confusion.


    "Is Serena on her period?"


    “I guess so. She''s gone pale. Let''s wait for her here."


    "To be honest, I think that Arabe at Westerly College ys the violin like a true virtuoso. it''s just


    mesmerizing!"


    "Me too. The moment her music started ying, I waspletely blown away. She''s better than my


    private tutor!"


    "Hush, keep your voices down. Do you want Serena to hear? We still need her to get close to her


    brothers!"


    Everyone made a shushing gesture before starting to whisper again.


    “If you be her sister-inw, and I be her sister-inw. We could hang out often! Just like now.


    “Look, Alma is heading to the restroom. Do you think she''s going to make trouble for Serena?"


    "Should we go help Serena?"


    One of the girls with curly hair wanted to help but was held back by her friends.


    "Don''t! You forgot about the time Serena mentioned that Alma beat her up on the staircase at the


    hospital when they were visiting their grandmother?


    We''re not strong enough to be of any help. What if we end up with bruised faces. How would we face


    people?"


    “Exactly, what if we have to dine with Hans next, with a bruised face."


    “I have to attend David''s concert, and I can''t show up looking like that."


    Even though they knew Alma would most likely cause trouble for Serena, the group of girls didn''t dare


    to intervene. They even wandered off to a further location, feigning ignorance.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as Alma entered the restroom, she could hear Serena''s anxious voice on the phone, even


    sounding a little tearful.


    "How did ite to this. Why?" Serena was close to tears, but upon catching sight of Alma in the


    mirror, she gripped her phone tighter. She had no idea how long the sly Alma had been eavesdropping,


    but she quickly ended the call.


    With her arms crossed over her chest, Alma watched Serena''s flustered and angry state with an air of


    nonchnce.
