Chapter 1820
Even in death, Martin was determined to bring Serena home.
Serena''s biological father had been captured, her mother had passed away, and her adoptive parents
had severed all ties with her.
She was left with no one but him to rely upon.
Even if all he could reim was her lifeless body, even if he could never walk her down the aisle, he
was resolved to take his beloved back home, to ensure her soul could find peace.
"Thank you," Martin''s voice choked up, "Thank you, Mrs. Collins, thank you everyone."
He knew he no longer had the right to be part of the Collins family.
But still, he was deeply grateful for their decision.
When Serena was brought before him, Martin could hardly believe his eyes.
The once dignified and beautiful heiress, with her poise and grace, now appeared disheveled, battered,
and hanging by a thread.
His heart felt as if it were being crushed by a weight of thousands of tons, too heavy to breathe.
His Serena, the moonlight of his heart, now looked so miserable.
Not only did she have wounds on her forehead, but her face, limbs, and clothes were all stained with
blood.
When the servants handed Serena over to him, he couldn''t believe it, holding her gingerly in his arms,
afraid to cause her the slightest pain.
He had held her before, but the person in his arms now was frighteningly light, much lighter than
before, her body limp and without any strength, her skin scorchingly hot.
Tears uncontrobly streamed down his face, his heart torn asunder.
His Serena, whom he hadn''t seen in days, had be this.
Louisa ordered the staff to bring up tworge trunks.
Inside were trophies, medals, and certificates Serena had won from childhood to adulthood.
In truth, these des were also gifts from the Collins family. Without their years of nurturing her
talents and supporting her interests, she would never have achieved such honors, such glory.
"Take these with you," Louisa said coldly, devoid of any emotion, her expression indifferent, "Beyond
this, anything rted to her, we will dispose of. Furthermore, she is not our biological daughter, and she
will no longer appear on our family registry."
They were the heads of the household, with the right to move her registration.
As for where she might be registered in the future, that was her own affair.
Martin understood that the Collins family was intent on erasing every trace of Serena''s existence from
their home.
If it wasn''t for their deep-seated hatred, given the Collins'' reputation for decency, they would never
have taken such a ruthless step.
They truly wanted to cut ties with Serena.
Although it pained him to see Serena reach this point, and to see her sh with the family she cared
for, Martin also understood the feelings of the Collins family. This time, Serena had truly broken their
hearts.
"From now on, the Collins family and she go our separate ways, with no further ties," Louisa stated with
an icy finality.
"Yes." Martin knew Serena hadmitted an unforgivable error, and he spoke with sincere remorse,
"Over the years, Serena has caused everyone trouble, and I''ve thanked Mr. and Mrs. Collins, as well
as everyone in the Collins family, for all the care and nurturing you''ve given Serena. I will always hold
your care and sacrifice for Serena in the past eighteen years close to my heart, and I will never forget."
"Remember your words. If one day she survives and bes a threat, we will not only eradicate the

problem at its root, but we will not spare the Cooper family either," Louisa warned.

Her words stunned Martin momentarily, but he quickly responded with politeness, "Yes, ma''am, I will
always remember your words. Now, Mrs. Collins, Mr. Collins, my dear elders, Mr. and Mrs. Griffith, I
must take my leave."
He bowed in gratitude to everyone present.
