Martha wasn't quite sure what to say, it took her a moment to finally ask, “So, what did Mr. McMillian gift
Arabella? Did you hear anything?"
Serena truthfully replied, "He used a swarm of drones to confess his love to her, even orchestrated a
light show on all of McMillian Corporation's skyscrapers in Lidaria. Word is there were fields of flowers
too."
Some resort guests saw it, even took pictures, and posted them online.
Although the couple were too far away to see clearly, the woman's outfit was identical to what Arabella
wore that day.
The silhouette, the aura, it was undoubtedly Arabella.
“And what about Mr. Martin? What did he gift you?" Martha couldn't help but inquire.
“He gave me a ring on Christmas Eve, and a necklace for Christmas."
“Are they expensive?"
“Both combined, probably around $200,000."
Martha breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was more valuable than what Romeo prepared for Arabella.
That light show was merely a waste of electricity.
Those flowers were just some worthless blooms.
"It seems like Mr. McMillian is losing interest in her, putting up a show but not willing to actually spend
money."
Upon hearing this, Serena was somewhat surprised, "Really? I thought Romeo seemed pretty smitten
with her."
“Is Romeo short of cash?"
“No."
“Then why didn't he buy a priceless ring or necklace for Arabella? If he's so smitten, why is he reluctant
to spend money?"
“But girls find these surprises romantic."
On the contrary, Serena felt Martin was too rigid, didn't know how to be romantic. The designs of his
gifts weren't as appealing as the ones her brothers gave her.
And he just handed them over, without any element of surprise.
"By the way, there's a significant decrease in online posts and videos about ‘Sampson taking his
girlfriend shopping’. Unless you specifically search for it, there are no related topics popping up. I guess
your uncle used his connections to suppress the hype. He probably didn't want you to see it, I bet he's
feeling guilty"
Martha couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, "If you ask me, he's just being unfair, buying all those
things for Arabella. I heard that in about ten hours, a plane will land directly at Reflections Villa. It's filled
with gifts your uncle bought for Arabella, and they even told us to bring more people to unload, claiming
there's plenty of stuff."
Serena's response was much more subdued, “Well, I did see a comment or two from mall employees
saying that it was Arabella who bought lots of QY items for my uncle, and he was merely reciprocating.
Their familial relationship was also clarified, leaving the only trolls with no ammunition, which is
probably why the hype slowly died down."
Martha noticed that Serena was consistently defending Arabella tonight, which made her anxious.
She thought, "This naive girl is brainwashed and she doesn't even realize!"
She had worked hard to steer the child on the right path, only for the manipulative Collins family to lead
her astray again!
At that moment, Serena heard a commotion downstairs, followed by someone rushing up to knock on
her door.
"Serena, Serena, are you resting? Your grandma is awake!"
Upon hearing this, Serena quickly bid Martha goodbye, hung up the phone, and rushed downstairs.
At the same time, upon receiving news of her grandmother's awakening, Arabella immediately rushed
back to the villa.
“Once Grandma's condition stabilizes a bit, I'll go visit her.” Romeo patted Arabella's head, already
feeling contented.
Tonight, Arabella had spent an entire hour with him.
Much more than he had anticipated.
With her grandmother's current condition, Arabella's presence was needed, for they still needed to
recognize each other.
