Chapter 6
They were eager to know about my experiences over the years, so I told them only the pleasant parts.]]
As I spoke, my mother suddenly started crying again. She probably couldn’t pretend any longer and held me tightly.[]
“I’m sorry. Mom and Dad had you looked into. You’ve suffered. My Serena, you’ve suffered so much! Your father and I arrived too late, we really did!“[]
I hugged her back in return and said, “You’re not late. You came at the perfect time. Not late at all.“[
Suddenly, and very abruptly, a disheveled Vivian White appeared in the doorway.[]
Looking fragile and pitiful, she walked straight up to my parents.[]
“Uncle, Auntie, I don’t want you to be deceived. Serena loves to lie. Back at the orphanage, she seduced the 40–something director and bullied the other children every day! Look at me–what she did just now was on purpose! Uncle, Auntie, I can tell you’re good people. I hope you will think carefully. After all, Serena is a natural curse and will likely bring you misfortune…. Ah!”
With a cold expression, I grabbed Vivian’s hair and smashed her face against the wall.
With great force, in just three hits, the skin on her face was broken.
“Ah! Aaaah! Help! Help! Uncle, Auntie, please save me!“]]
I paused my actions slightly, pretending to observe them casually.
I was doing it on purpose. In my past life, my unconditional trust in people had caused me a great deal of suffering.]
Although I had looked forward to having my parents, I still had to test their attitude.[]
The result was.
My mother stood up, the gentle kindness on her face gone, replaced by a cold sharpness. “Vivian White, is it? You’re the one who stole my child’s adoption spot with the Martinez family and spread rumors to slander her at school.”
My father pulled me into his arms and patted my shoulder reassuringly.]
He said, “You’ve come at just the right time. My lawyer will be here in half an hour. Regarding the school bullying, the lawyer will have a good talk with the school and your adoptive parents
Instantly, Vivian was stunned, her face deathly pale.
in front of the Martinez, she had always been the innocent, pitiful little girl who needed to be loved.]
If Mr. and Mrs Martinez were to find out her vicious true nature
Vivian hurriedly reached for any left artuli
I dodged just in time
Chapter 6
Her voice tinged with tears, she said, “Serena, it was my fault before. I apologize to you! For the sake of us both coming from the orphanage, please spare me this one time.”
I didn’t answer, but instead looked behind her.[]
“Ethan?!” Vivian grew even more nervous. “You. When did you get here?“]]
I answered in Ethan’s place. “He saw the whole thing.“]
“What!” Vivian was practically dumbfounded. With tears in her eyes, she put on a practiced crying expression. “Ethan, let me explain. I was also afraid of retaliation. I suffered so much in the orphanage before, I just wanted to live a good life.“[]
In the past, upon hearing these words, Ethan would have been overcome with pity.[]
But now, he actually ignored her, walking step–by–step until he stood before me.]]
Ethan said, “Serena, congratulations on finding your parents. But are you really going abroad?“|
I looked at my birth father and mother. They cared very much about my thoughts now and expressed complete respect for my
choice.
A look of joy appeared on Ethan’s face. He was a little nervous, his gaze fixed intently on me.
I knew he was hoping I would stay, that I would say words of forgiveness.
I smiled slightly and began, “Of course-“]
