Chapter 1949


    Serena''s eyes lit up in an instant when she heard June''s words. "What did you say?"


    "There''s a room. It has your parents'' memorial ques. But Mr. Cooper didn''t want to upset you, so he


    didn''t tell you."


    "Take me there now!"


    June didn''t dare dy, and wheeled Serena into the elevator, descending to the basement level.


    The door opened, and Serena saw the memorial ques of her biological father and mother hanging


    on the wall,plete with their photographs. On the table below were flowers.


    Tears streamed down her face as she hadn''t expected Martin to be so thoughtful, to set aside such a


    space in the mansion!


    "Mr. Cooper has always kept you in his heart, treating yourte parents with genuine respect."


    "He instructed us to refresh the flowers every day. Just this morning, Mr. Cooper even paid his


    respects."


    "Mr. Cooper is really good to you."


    Serena couldn''t stop her tears. Eventually, with the help of the servants, she put another batch of


    flowers and bowed deeply.


    "Dad, Mom, forgive me for not being able to kneel before you. All these years you''ve endured so much,


    working in silence to give me a better life. I swear here, I will avenge you! Those two viins will pay!"


    After Serena silently finished her vow, tears flooded her eyes once more as she gazed at her parents''


    ques, her resolve for revenge growing even stronger.

    After Keh and Louisa finished discussing the next day''s ns with Arabe, the family stayed up


    until half-past midnight, and then Arabe went to take a shower.


    She emerged to find messages from Romeo, saying he''d made it home, and several gifts from her


    grandfathers, sent hours ago. She had been so busy, she''d only just noticed the messages.


    In Grandpa Beck''s living room, the 3D holographic firece flickered endlessly with its artificial mes.


    The grandfathers were gathered together for warmth, some lying on rocking chairs, others leaning on


    the couch, and some snacking.


    Without exception, each of them checked their phones, hoping for a reply from their darling girl.


    Grandpa Beck, once again, unlocked his phone only to be met with disappointment, and couldn''t help


    asking the others, "Has Be epted the gifts we sent?"


    Grandpa Charles replied immediately, "Not yet," his expression slightly forlorn.


    The other grandfathers also reported that Arabe hadn''t replied to their messages for a while, let


    alone epted their gifts.


    "Word has it Be was bringing the McMillian boy home for dinner, then had to apany him to the


    McMillian estate. She''s probably just got back home to celebrate the New Year with her own family."


    Grandpa Jarvis remarked with ack of enthusiasm, "The New Year doesn''t feel quite right without the


    youngster around."


    "Now Be is so busy she doesn''t even have time to ept our gifts, let alone join us for dinner."


    Grandpa Charles suddenly felt nostalgic for the past when Grannie Grace brought the girl to join them


    for the holiday meals, and one year, she even spent New Year''s Eve with them alone.

    Those were days of happiness, so distant and so dearly missed.


    "Be has more people caring for her now, her New Year''s is busier than ever. We should be happy for


    her!" Grandpa Eugene chimed in optimistically, "Besides, we''re in her heart, and once she''s done, she''ll


    surely ept our gifts."
