Chapter 839 "Don't forget to check, okay?" After ending the video call, Arabella resumed her breakfast.
Sitting across from her, Serena's mood took a deeper dive. She hadn't expected her grandparents to be so dependent on, and indulgent towards, Arabella.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey even transferred her pocket money! Every time Arabella's phone vibrated, Serena couldn't help but glance at it, curious to know how much her grandparents had transferred and what secrets they were sharing with her.
With her slender fingers, Arabella was commenting on her grandfather's work.
Serena's dissatisfaction grew. Was there really a need to act so busy while just having breakfast? Clark noticed Serena's sullen expression and texted her.
[Bella just got home. It is normal for grandparents to give her a bit of allowance. They've always given you plenty too.] If this had been any other day, Serena would have felt ashamed after reading this. But today, she couldn't help responding, [You always take sides, Clark.] [How am | taking sides?] Clark was puzzled, not knowing what he had done wrong.
[Why can't you all just be honest and tell me you don't like me anymore? Isn't it tiring to keep pretending every day?] After sending this message, Serena stood up. [I'm full.] She threw her spoon back into her bowl with a huff, not caring about the etiquette of a lady, and stomped off.
"Hey Serena.” Clark started to get up to follow her, but his phone vibrated. It was a message from Romeo.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[I'm here.] Clark had to say, "Bella, Romeo's at the door. I'll go get some food and drinks ready. Take your time eating, don't rush, and make sure you eat plenty." Serena ran upstairs and waited, but Clark never came up to cheer her up.
Hmph, he was just pretending! He promised to treat her like a sister, yet he bought so many things for Arabella and hovered around her like a nanny! Had Arabella ever given him a second glance? He didn't even buy her a small gift last night, not even a hairpin!! At this moment, Martha, who had noticed the commotion, slowly walked upstairs and asked with concern, "Serena, are you crying?" “I'm not.” Serena wiped her tears away, still in a huff.
"Look outside." Serena didn't understand what was so interesting outside. When she looked, she saw Clark with a backpack, opening the car door for Arabella. It looked like they were going to go out and have fun with Romeo.
"You're up here crying, and they're all happy, about to walk the glass skywalk. What does that tell you? Clark doesn't care about your feelings." Serena's jealousy flared uncontrollably.
"Do you know what the maid found when she cleaned Ms. Bella's room this morning?" "What?" Serena asked, huffily.
"Clark's personal black card, right on Ms. Bella's desk. What does that tell you? Clark has given his personal black card to Ms. Bella!" Martha added fuel to the fire. "Has Clark ever done that for you?" Hearing this, Serena felt even worse.
"Never mind how much Clark earns each year, just his monthly dividends from the Collins Group are more than he can spend. And it's all for Ms. Bella! Serena, they are real siblings. There's a difference between you and a stranger with no blood relation."
