Chapter 1625


    [Arabe bought him a new massage chair?] Serena asked in disbelief.


    [Yeah, Ms. Arabe got some brand I''ve never heard of before. Mr. and Mrs. Collins said it felt like


    heaven and wouldn''t stop praising it all night.]


    Turned out her parents really that fickle, which Serena found unexpected. Was it just because the chair


    she had bought them before was too cheap, not high-end enough? But that was the prize money from


    her pianopetition.


    [And that painting you did for them, the one that used to hang in their bedroom, got taken downst


    night, too and was reced with one by Ms. Arabe.]


    She couldn''t believe her ears. Her parents were erasing her presence, stripping away years of her


    affection with the removal of that painting!


    [So, practically nothing you ever gave them is left in their room. That nket you bought them has


    been packed away. And the clothes you gifted them, they''re not wearing those anymore either, all


    packed up.]


    Serena''s expression soured, realizing just how much her parents seemed to disdain her.


    [And especially, the bracelet you bought for Mrs. Collins with all your prize money, the one she used to


    cherish so much, she took that offst night too. Now her wrists are bare.]


    Frozen in shock, Serena wondered, why this sudden change of heart from her parents?


    [Ms. Serena, you haven''t had a falling out with Ms. Myrna, have you?]


    Myrna? Chasel''s girlfriend?


    [Why do you ask?] Serena pressed urgently.


    [Because she came by yesterday, and after that, Mrs. Collins was furious. She took off the bracelet and


    ordered your painting to be taken down.]


    Serena remembered the unpleasantness at school. Could Myrna have bbed everything to her


    mother? With that thought, her resentment towards Myrna grew even more.


    She couldn''t believe that before even officially joining the family, that bitch was already causing so


    much trouble.


    [And there''s more.] Erik hesitated, but eventually continued, [Last night, I overheard something through


    their door - they were talking about asking you to move out after New Year.]


    Serena stood there, dumbstruck.


    Move out? Were her parents kicking her out of the Collins family? Not even the house next door was


    good enough for her now; they wanted her gone. Weren''t they the ones who always said they treated

    her as their own daughter? Weren''t they supposed to be fair and loving? Why were they driving her


    away?


    [Erik, did you really hear that?] Serena''s fingers trembled as she typed the message.


    [I did hear it, but they were just discussing. I don''t know what they''ve decided in the end.]


    Tears streamed down Serena''s face; eighteen years of being raised by them, and they could still be


    this heartless.


    Even a pet would garner more affection.
