Chapter 1423


    Florence couldn''t control her son with money, nor could she let the world know their family was at odds


    over a woman. So, aside from threatening to take her own life, she felt her only option was to sever


    ties.


    Martin watched his mother''s resolute figure disappear into the distance, then turned to Diana, "Diana,


    you just don''t get Serena. She''s genuinely easygoing. At school, everyone says she''s kind-hearted and


    sensible. Sure, she can be a bit moody at times, but nothing serious. I have no issues with her.”


    "Have you been brainwashed or something? You see a freak show, and you treasure it? This is eye-


    opening for me! Let me be blunt, if you marry her and


    Mom decides to jump in the river, I''ll be there ying music and parading her body to your wedding


    venue. I''ll give Mom a proper send-off and then sh my wrists!”


    Martin was shocked his sister would resort to threats, "Can’t you just meet her, get to know her


    properly?”


    "Are you naive? Sometimes, what you see is just a facade, a deliberate act for you! The real her is the


    one shouting at the sales clerks! I''d rather turn a blind eye than let her into our home and turn it upside


    down!"


    Diana stood up, her heart hardened, "If it''s her you choose, then consider me no longer your sister!”


    Martin still wanted to reason with her.


    "Oh, and tell her to watch herself. If she crosses me, I won''t be so forgiving!”


    With those words, Diana stormed out, mming the door behind her.


    Martin stood there, feeling helpless, when his phone pinged with a message from Serena.


    [Going out for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa today. Let''s reschedule our date]


    She ended the message with a kiss ernoji.


    Suddenly, Martin felt all the negativity dissipate. He replied, (Sure, have fun.]


    JY Sky Restaurant.


    Upon hearing that the big boss Bard wasing for a meal, the restaurant manager had cleared out


    the best private room with a view and gave it a fresh setup.


    Arabe, led by her grandmother, noticed the opulence of the room immediately—it spanned over


    2,000 square feet and even included a beautiful terrace with a stunning view.


    "Mr.Darren, Mrs. Belinda.” The manager greeted everyone, "Boss, Ma’am, Miss Serena."

    When it came to Arabe, he couldn''t recall her name and looked apologetically at Eunice.


    "This is my niece, Arabe Collins;’ Eunice introduced her formally, "In the future, treat her as you


    would us."


    The manager was taken aback, but quickly replied respectfully, "Miss Be, it’s your first time here. If


    there''s anything you need, just ask for me."


    "Thank you,’ Arabe said with a gentle smile.


    The manager noticed that from start to finish, Eunice and Belinda were holding Arabe’s hand,


    indicating a deep affection for her.


    Who exactly was Miss Be? She was a new face, suddenly announced as Eunice''s niece.


    And she bore the surname Collins.
