Chapter 1117 How could they?! How could they be so unfair?! Was the eighteen years of affection all just a sham?? Could it really not compare to the blood relation?? It must have been Uncle Sampson's idea. There wasn't a single servant in the garden, and they must have gone inside to dine, joining in the gaiety.
Serena pushed open the intricately carved gate, alone walking in the garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe remembered, when she was in elementary school, one winter break, she had chere.
Just like now, it was snowing then, spotless snow flakes drifting endlessly. The garden was so vast that she couldn't see the end of it. She ran around in the garden for a long time, even throwing snowballs at her uncle.
Her uncle would play along, smiling gently, looking at her with indulgent eyes.
That moment was so beautiful, all the maids were smiling, saying that Sampson liked her the most, and she was the only one in the world who dared to throw snowballs at him.
Another year, in the autumn, she cwith her parents to visit her uncle, picking numerous precious flowers and plants from the garden.
Back then she didn't know the value of those plants. She just thought they were pretty. Louisa scolded her, but Sampson indulgently said, ‘It's nothing. As long as Serena likes them, the whole garden, even the whole villa can be given to her: Everything in the past was so beautiful, and it was heart-wrenching to think about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, a few maids passed by in the garden.
“Tonight's dinner was really lavish. Ms. Collins is so lucky to have so many family members dote on her." “Even the gift wrapping paper was studded with crystals, it must have been expensive, right?" "Mr. and Mrs. Collins were so generous, a private island and the world's largest castle-themed amusement park!" “Ms. Collins’ brothers are generous also, making a special trip to give her a surprise and such costly gifts." "There were private yacht and private plane. David even gave away his favorite luxury cars, three in total." “The villa is also quite valuable. | heard it ranks among the world's luxury home." Serena laughed even more bitterly, more painful.
Tears streamed down her face, and her heart felt as if it was pierced by a thousand arrows. The more she laughed, the more she wanted to cry; the more she laughed, the more she felt on the verge of collapse.
When her parents were giving Arabella such expensive gifts, did they ever think of their daughter they had taised for eighteen years? When Sampson was giving gifts to please Arabella, did he ever think of his other niece? And her brothers, usually tied up to work, all managed to find ttoday just to give Arabella a surprise? As for Hans, a stiff and cold workaholic like him wouldn't make exceptions for anyone. Even if he didn't have work on Christmas Eve, his strict routines would never allow him to be here, let alone fooling around with the other brothers.
“Let alone the value of the gifts, just the fact that these brothers could spare the tand fly here to give Ms.
Collins a surprise, to sing and dance for her, to prepare fireworks for her, these movements are really touching!" “Isn't that the truth? Having such brothers is truly wonderful. My brother only ever cheatsout of my allowance, and whenever he does something wrong, he would throwunder the bus because he knows our parents dote onand wouldn't scold me.
“After all, this is Ms. Collins’ first tvisiting Sampson's place, and her first tcelebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas, it should be a grand event, shouldn't it?" Tears streamed down Serena's face once again, her smile more bitter. She looked more heartbroken.
