Chapter 1117


    How could they?!


    How could they be so unfair?!


    Was the eighteen years of affection all just a sham??


    Could it really notpare to the blood rtion??


    It must have been Uncle Sampson''s idea. There wasn''t a single servant in the garden, and they must


    have gone inside to dine, joining in the gaiety.


    Serena pushed open the intricately carved gate, alone walking in the garden.


    She remembered, when she was in elementary school, one winter break, she hade here.


    Just like now, it was snowing then, spotless snow kes drifting endlessly. The garden was so vast that


    she couldn''t see the end of it. She ran around in the garden for a long time, even throwing snowballs at


    her uncle.


    Her uncle would y along, smiling gently, looking at her with indulgent eyes.


    That moment was so beautiful, all the maids were smiling, saying that Sampson liked her the most, and


    she was the only one in the world who dared to throw snowballs at him.


    Another year, in the autumn, she came with her parents to visit her uncle, picking numerous precious


    flowers and nts from the garden.


    Back then she didn''t know the value of those nts. She just thought they were pretty. Louisa scolded


    her, but Sampson indulgently said, ‘It''s nothing. As long as Serena likes them, the whole garden, even


    the whole vi can be given to her: Everything in the past was so beautiful, and it was heart-wrenching


    to think about it.


    At that moment, a few maids passed by in the garden.


    “Tonight''s dinner was reallyvish. Ms. Collins is so lucky to have so many family members dote on


    her."


    “Even the gift wrapping paper was studded with crystals, it must have been expensive, right?"


    "Mr. and Mrs. Collins were so generous, a private ind and the world''srgest castle-themed


    amusement park!"


    “Ms. Collins’ brothers are generous also, making a special trip to give her a surprise and such costly


    gifts."


    "There were private yacht and private ne. David even gave away his favorite luxury cars, three in


    total."


    “The vi is also quite valuable. I heard it ranks among the world''s luxury home."


    Serenaughed even more bitterly, more painful.

    Tears streamed down her face, and her heart felt as if it was pierced by a thousand arrows. The more


    sheughed, the more she wanted to cry; the more sheughed, the more she felt on the verge of


    copse.


    When her parents were giving Arabe such expensive gifts, did they ever think of their daughter they


    had taised for eighteen years?


    When Sampson was giving gifts to please Arabe, did he ever think of his other niece?


    And her brothers, usually tied up to work, all managed to find time today just to give Arabe a


    surprise?


    As for Hans, a stiff and cold workaholic like him wouldn''t make exceptions for anyone. Even if he didn''t


    have work on Christmas Eve, his strict routines would never allow him to be here, let alone fooling


    around with the other brothers.


    “Let alone the value of the gifts, just the fact that these brothers could spare the time and fly here to


    give Ms.


    Collins a surprise, to sing and dance for her, to prepare fireworks for her, these movements are really


    touching!"


    “Isn''t that the truth? Having such brothers is truly wonderful. My brother only ever cheats me out of my


    allowance, and whenever he does something wrong, he would throw me under the bus because he


    knows our parents dote on me and wouldn''t scold me.


    “After all, this is Ms. Collins’ first time visiting Sampson''s ce, and her first time celebrating Christmas


    Eve and Christmas, it should be a grand event, shouldn''t it?"


    Tears streamed down Serena''s face once again, her smile more bitter. She looked more heartbroken.
