Chapter 1419


    "Mom, what are you doing here?" Diana burst through the door, her anger simmering, but upon seeing


    her mother, she toned it down a notch, "Are you looking for Martin?"


    "Oh, you needed him for something?" Florence, taken aback, confessed, "The staff downstairs said he


    dashed out, in a hurry, no clue when he''ll be back.


    What do you need him for?"


    "Mom." Diana hesitated, biting her lip. She really couldn''t stand Serena. Just earlier, her bestie texted


    her, saying she bumped into Serena out shopping yesterday, unting Martin''s tinum card, splurging


    hundreds of thousands like it was nothing.


    She was livid, ready to give her brother a piece of her mind.


    But she hadn''t expected to run into her mother here.


    "Diana, has your brother got himself a girlfriend? Were you aware of this?"


    Surprisingly, Florence was the first to ask.


    Diana was caught off guard, "Did he tell you? Or did you find out yourself?"


    "Lwas out shopping yesterday” Florence recounted the previous day''s events.


    Diana hadn''t expected Serena to be so rude, running down the QY brand, insulting the sales staff,


    indirectly mocking her mother, and snatching away the items her mother had her eye on with Martin''s


    credit card.


    "Mom, I can''t keep this to myself any longer” Diana came clean about what had happened on Rodeo


    Drive, including Serena''s antics at the botanical garden, and her insistence on a private viewing at the


    Tower.


    Florence was shocked to learn that the reason her son messaged his father about the private event


    was for a woman.


    It was so out of character for her son.


    After all, when he started his business, no matter how tough or difficult things got, he never once asked


    for help.


    But now, for a girl, he had broken his own rule.


    Just then, a message from Fitch popped up on Diana''s phone, leaving her thunderstruck.


    It took her a moment to regain herposure before she numbly informed her mother, "Serena isn''t a


    real Collins. She was switched at birth! She shares no blood with the Collins family"


    "What did you just say?" Florence was even more astonished.


    Once Diana exined everything, Florence mmed her fist on the table, "So, she knew she wasn''t


    from a background as prestigious as the Cooper family, yet she''s been acting high and mighty because


    of my son''s affection. I will not allow such a person to set foot in the Cooper household! Call Martin


    right now, I want him here in half an hour to tell him myself."


    Diana agreed that their mother needed to step in and give her brother a stern talk. Otherwise, Martin''s


    future and the Cooper legacy could be ruined by Serena alone!


    Serena was already on a shopping spree with Martin''s card every other day and bullying Martin on top


    of it.


    What would happen if they actually got married?


    Diana prided herself on being reasonable. Even if Serena had a troubled background and her biological


    parents were unknown, it wouldn''t be an issue as long as she was willing to live a good life with Martin.


    But her constant drama was a surefire way to bring chaos into their home.


    She pulled out her phone, dialed her brother''s number, and said angrily, "Mom wants you at the office


    in half an hour. Don''t say I didn''t warn you. She''s fuming. You''ve already missed Grandpa''s birthday


    once. If you don''t show up this time, no one can save you"

    Martin''s car was midway to his destination when his sister''s voice came through, "Mom''s heart''s acting


    up again, her old condition. If you make her worse, you''ll regret it for the rest of your life"


    After hearing the dial tone on the other end, Martin ultimately turned the car around and headed back.
