Chapter 1379


    “Something wrong? I''m just outside. I could take him to the hospital to get checked out,” Romeo offered


    with concern.


    "No need, I''ll have Uncle Bard drive himter. Have you arrived?" Arabe whispered back, ‘Wait for


    me a moment."


    “Alright.


    Arabe hung up the phone and nced at Serena, preparing to leave.


    “Arabe!” Serena suddenly called out, unable to hold back her question, "If Romeo wasn''t in the


    picture, would you be friends with me?"


    Arabe stopped in her tracks and gave her a cold look, "You should ask yourself, from the first day I


    returned to this house, did you ever consider being friends with me?"


    Initially, Serena was full of hostility towards her.


    And as time went on, her animosity only intensified.


    "How many times have you schemed behind my back? I can''t be bothered with you. First, I think it''s a


    waste of time and unnecessary. Second, I look down on your petty tactics. Third, my life is more than


    just these trivial matters. Why waste your years on me? Find something you''re passionate about, love


    someone who truly loves you, and strive to better yourself. Isn''t that much more worthwhile than sitting


    here, wracking your brain with jealousy and envy?"


    Serena stood rooted to the spot, watching Arabe''s retreating figure, perhaps understanding why


    everyone liked her.


    It was like a moment ago, she despised Arabe so fiercely, but now, the hatred seemed to have


    lessened.


    After Arabe left the parlor, Eunice stepped out from the corner where she had overheard the entire


    conversation crystal clear. She hadn''t expected Serena, who always appeared so sunny and upbeat, to


    have so many cunning thoughts behind her back.


    It seemed she was just afraid of not being able to stay in this family, causing her to make mistakes.


    As for Arabe''s magnanimity and vision, it made Eunice see her in a new light, improving her


    impression significantly.

    Eunice walked to the doorway of the parlor, leaning casually against the frame, and called out,


    “Serena."


    Serena, still in a daze from the earlier conversation, was startled to see her aunt and quickly said, ‘Aunt


    Eunice, what are you doing here?"


    “Just passing by, and I overheard you and your sister." Eunice began.


    Serena''s face instantly paled, “Aunt Eunice, let me exin."


    “l''ll understand the situation well enough. Be is right. Nobody in this family sees you as an outsider,


    but you''re not allowed to pull any more tricks behind people''s backs."


    Even though Eunice didn''t know the specifics of what Serena had done, Arabe’s words were proof


    enough that Serena had been up to no good in the past.


    “Aunt Eunice, I was foolish before. It won''t happen again." Serena was worried about leaving a bad


    impression on her aunt.


    "Can you promise me you''ll change?" Eunice looked into her eyes seriously, “Look me in the eyes and


    tell me."


    Serena bit her lip and nodded, “I can."


    “Then I''ll trust you this time,’ Eunice dered confidently, "You should count yourself lucky to have a


    generous sister like Be. If you had to deal with someone more conniving, you''d really suffer."


    Serena''s gaze fell slightly.


    "You''re not ufortable with me praising her, right?"


    Serena shook her head quickly.


    “People like her because she''s honest, brave, kind, unpretentious, intelligent,posed, capable, and


    she doesn''t show off." Eunice continued, then turned to Serena, “But you, when did you be so


    sensitive?"
