Chapter 1743
The screen showed Martin and Romeo having a full-blown fistfight right outside her front door, leaving
Keh and Louisa absolutely gobsmacked. What on earth was happening? Why were these two
throwing punches at each other?
"Over the past six months, Serena has kept Be''s existence from Martin, so he had no clue about her,
nor did he know Serena was the adopted daughter of the Collins family."
"What did you just say?" Both Keh and Louisa were staggered in shock.
"Serena lied to Martin, telling him Romeo was the kind who abandons the old for the new. She imed
he was unting his new me in front of his ex just to rub it in her face, to deliberately hurt her. She
also set up these ''coincidental'' run-ins. No matter where Serena and Martin were or what they were
doing, Romeo would show up with his new love and outshine them. That''s why Martin lost it and threw
punches the moment he saw Romeo at my doorstep."
"Romeo can''t be that childish!" Keh was fuming. "How could Serena stoop to such a level."
Lying had be second nature to her!
"Before this, she fooled her good friend Brooklyn Reed, iming that Be sabotaged her engagement
with Romeo. We had hoped she would change, but she has continued to y the same tricks, even
lying to her own boyfriend." Louisa''s mind was a whirl of disbelief that wouldn’t settle.
"Romeo is indeed madly in love with Be—that is not an act. They don''t need to put on a show of
affection. What everyone sees is genuine," Keh defended.
"That''s true. Romeo has always been cared for Be," Eunice chimed in with satisfaction. "He''s got her
back. Once, Romeo also made it clear to Martin that, before Martin came into the picture, he had rarely
seen Serena. He was actually considering calling off the engagement, but then he met Be, took a
liking to her, and that''s why the families'' engagement went on."
"You, what are you saying?" Louisa''s eyes bulged in disbelief. Could it be that the reason Romeo came
over with all those gifts, was not to see his fiancée as he imed, but to break off the engagement with
Serena.
She and Keh had assumed he had heard the news that they had found their biological daughter,
and came specifically to bring gifts for his real bride-to-be.
But it turned out.
"No wonder Romeo wasn’t around much before, but ever since Be came back to us, he’s been
visiting frequently."
It was all because of Be that the families'' engagement has held.
If Be hadn''t returned, if Serena were their biological daughter, he wouldn''t have chosen Serena,
regardless of the families'' ties or even Phillip’s persuasion to the point of a heart attack.
He simply didn''t like Serena, that’s the whole of it!
"Martin must be disappointed with Serena''s actions, that''s why they broke up, right?" Keh asked,
regretfully. He really thought Martin was a good guy.
But as good as Martin was, Serena truly didn''t deserve him.
Not just Martin, even Keh, who had been her father for eighteen years, felt chilled to the bone and
utterly let down by Serena''s behavior.
How much more disheartening it would be for someone on the outside.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
"That''s not the case," Eunice rified. "Martin still cares for her, but she took it for granted. She even
had someone tamper with Be''s lemonade."
"What?" This time, Keh and Louisa were utterly astounded, both staring at Eunice as if petrified.
Euniceid out everything she knew, "At that time, mom and dad were away in Dawnstar, and we all
went out for dinner. Be seemed to sense something off with the lemonade and insisted Serena drink
it. Serena was clearly reluctant, obviously scared to drink it. I suspected there was something wrong
with it, and sure enough, Serena, out of sheer desperation, drank it and ended up rushing to the
bathroom, hallucinating, and even making a move on Romeo in front of everyone. She mistook me for
Be several times and tried toe at me."
