Chapter 1333


    The gossip was spreading like wildfire, with the potential to circle back home,nding in the ears of


    teachers and ssmates.


    If her admirers ever found out, that would be utterly mortifying!


    Who knew if some random passerby snapped a photo, or if there''s a video secretly making the rounds?


    That would be a real headache.


    Meanwhile, the household staff continued their hushed conversations.


    “Did you guys see the gorgeous clothes, shoes, and bags Mrs. Griffith bought for Ms. Be yesterday?"


    "Mrs. Griffith''s taste is impable; she’s renowned for her fashion sense throughout high society."


    "It must''ve cost a pretty penny, at least a few grand, I reckon. Mrs. Griffith really dotes on Ms. Be."


    "Well, she is her niece by marriage, and it was quite the reunion. How could she not spoil her?"


    Upon hearing this, Serena clenched her fists tightly!


    Suddenly, someone spotted her lurking nearby, and with a start, they stood up straight, bowing


    respectfully, "Miss Serena, what brings you here?"


    The other servants looked over, dropping their chores to bow in turn, "Serena, we''re so pleased you''ve


    With a practiced smile, Serena inquired, "Where''s Aunt Eunice?"


    "She''s inside."


    "I think I''ll go give her a surprise. Carry on with your work."


    As Serena gracefully made her exit, the servants wanted to mention something but couldn''t get the


    words out in time.


    Serena was unaware that Eunice and Ms. Be were off to a birthday celebration.


    Pushing aside her displeasure, Serena tiptoed into the living room, where she saw Euniceughing and


    chatting away. Bursting with excitement, she leaped out, eximing, "Aunt Eunice."


    Her smile froze as she spotted Arabe, also decked out in formal attire, standing opposite her aunt.

    They were obviously heading out, but to where?


    "Serena? You''re here!"


    Eunice had heard about her arrival at Dawnstar the night before and wasn''t surprised to see her now


    but greeted her with an affectionate smile.


    "It''s been a while, and you''re as mischievous as ever, jumping out to startle me."


    Chuckling, Serena turned to Arabe and sweetly called her.


    Arabe ignored her, but Eunice, sharp as ever, caught the slight and smoothly interjected, "Why didn''t


    you let me send a car for you?"


    “Aunt Eunice." Serena suddenly clung to her, her voice filled with emotion, "If you weren''t standing right


    here, I wouldn''t believe I could ever hug you again. It''s so wonderful you''re back!"


    Her voice quivered as she continued, "Aunt Eunice, I''ve missed you. Seems like all those church visits


    weren''t in vain. My prayers have been answered. Seeing you here, safe and sound, it''s all worth it."


    "You''ve been praying for me in church?" Eunice looked down at her, smiling, "Why are you crying


    now?"


    "It''s nothing." Serena quickly turned her tears into a beam, "I''m just overjoyed to see you again,


    couldn''t help it"


    "You silly child,” Eunice chuckled.


    “Aunt Eunice, you and sister are all dressed up; where are you heading?" Serena clung to Eunice''s


    hand like a child, "Can you take me with you? I''m so bored all by myself."


    "We''re off to Arlen''s birthday bash. Your sister and I just need to drop by, Eunice exined with a smile.


    "Why don''t you pick a room to rest in? We''ll be back before you know it."


    There was an important matter to attend to tonight, and it wouldn''t be appropriate to bring her along.


    Serena had been pampered all her life, and tonight''s event was not the ce for her.
