NovelEnglishChapter 817 “I'm just curious." Clark noted her wariness, his smile intensifying.
"Seems like you two aren't exactly getting along." Serena lowered her gaze, taking a moment before opting for honesty. "At first, Mom and Dad suddenly brought her home without any warning. | wasn't prepared at all. That day, they had prepared a magical surprise for her. | thought it was for me, and ended up making a fool of myself." Her eyes seemed to dim, "Then | found out she was the real daughter of this family, and | was the adopted one.

So, if I say | have zero resentment towards her, it would be a lie." Serena's gaze dimmed for a while before she spoke again, "Afterwards, after everything that happened, | suddenly wanted to be friends with her, but she doesn't seem to want to be friends with me." "What do you mean?" Clark seemed a bit puzzled.
"She doesn't seem to care about these trivial matters." In Serena's memory, Bella was either soaked in her lab doing experiments or busy with her business across the country. She didn't seem to care about sisterly bonds.
“And what about her?" Clark asked again.
"Her personality is pretty neutral. She treats everyone the same. It's not like she's targeting me." Clark was surprised to hear this. Unlike Martha, Serena didn't take the opportunity to badmouth Bella, but expressed her thoughts fairly.
"What about other aspects?" "Other aspects?" Serena pondered for a moment, "She's quite outstanding. Anyway, you'll know when you meet her, Clark." It seemed that his younger sister was not too bad in Serena's eyes.

Why not let her come to my place and help me out?" "Clark, you want to move Martha to your place?” Serena quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Can you get another maid? I've gotten used to having Martha around me all these years." "Habits can be changed." "Clark." This time, Serena realized something, "Did Martha say something to upset you earlier? I'll apologize for her. Can you please not move her away?" Unable to resist Serena's pleas, Clark finally conceded, "If you want her to stay, fine, but you need to make your own judgments. If you have any problems, you should ask me instead of always asking her." "lI promise!" Serena quickly agreed.
"Also, Mom and Dad feel a deep guilt towards Bella, because they weren't able to give her anything in the past eighteen years. As her brother, | also feel that | should make up for her, but this doesn't mean you're less important in this family, understand?" Serena was taken aback, but then nodded.
"You're still part of this family, it's just that now, we have one more family member. We should welcome and accept her, not alienate or despise her." "I understand, Clark." "You're a good kid. Remember, if we didn't like you, we would've kicked you out a long time ago." Clark patted her shoulder, fearing that she might be led astray by Martha. It seemed that he would have to keep a closer eye on Martha's actions from now on.
At least for now, Serena was still a kind and innocent child.
It was just that Martha held a deep prejudice towards Bella.
It would be best if it could be changed, but if not.
