Chapter 1756


    "Let me handle this," Bard hoisted his sister into his arms, taking the stairs one by one.


    "You okay to walk?" Eunice whispered to Keh.


    Keh clutched his chest, gasping for air for what seemed like an eternity before he finally nodded


    through his tears. With a shaky hand on the banister, he began his slow ascent.


    As Serena watched his frail and despairing figure retreat, a twinge of conscience pricked her heart, and


    she was suddenly consumed with regret.


    What had she done to bring everything to this point.


    Eunice gazed at the young woman before her. Her forehead, cheeks, and chin were covered in blood;


    her clothes were damp, her hair a tangled mess, and her eyes, once vibrant, now dull with remorse. It


    seemed she trulyprehended her mistakes.


    "This family, from the start, has treated you as one of their own. If you hadn’t done what you did, you''d


    be just as important to us as before. In Keh and Louisa''s eyes, you and Be are their dear


    daughters. Bard and I, we’ve always seen you as our beloved niece, and to your brothers, you''re their


    cherished sister."


    Eunice''s casual words made Serena lift her tearful eyes in shock, as if she couldn''t believe what she


    was hearing.


    "But it''s toote for any of that now." Eunice cut through her fantasies and aspirations with a cold


    finality. "Your whole family has to pay for your mistakes."


    "Auntie." Serena sobbed, trying to say more.


    "Be survived – that''s her own doing. But that doesn’t absolve you of the consequences of your


    actions."


    Eunice''s indifferent figure continued up the stairs, leaving Serena crying out in desperation, "Auntie.


    please, one more chance, I promise it''s thest time."


    She truly regretted her actions.


    She longed to return to the past.


    She wished she could turn back time.

    The house staff dragged her down to the storage room in the basement.


    Calling it a storage room was generous; it was nothing but a small space with a few scattered items, a


    stark contrast to the luxurious princess room she was ustomed to.


    She crashed to the floor, the shards of ss digging deeper into her palms and the back of her hands,


    the pain making her entire body tremble.


    The cut on her forehead throbbed, her jaw ached, and the bruises from her mother''s blows –


    shoulders, arms, chest, back – all ached in a way that cut her to the core.


    Tears streamed down Serena''s face as she sat lost and broken, unsure of what to do next.


    She had always harbored some resentment toward Eunice, feeling she favored Arabe. But after


    hearing Eunice''s words, Serena realized she had misunderstood her.


    Eunice might have seemed cold and stern, but deep down, she cared.


    And then there were her parents.


    The memory of their disappointed, furious faces twisted her heart. She never imagined Erik and Martha


    would turn out to be her biological parents, let alone that one would abandon her in a crisis, and the


    other would fall from the eighteenth floor. What was she to do.


    In the master bedroom.


    Louisa wasn''t sure how long she had been unconscious, her dreams haunted by the image of her


    daughter being pped by Martha. She shook her head, tears streaming down, before suddenly crying


    out—“No!”
