"Hey, just stepped out of Grandma's room, what about you?" Arabella asked in a gentle whisper.
“I'm well, I'm not tired yet."
“What were you mumbling about on your phone earlier?"
"Well." Seeing no one was around, May moved closer to Arabella and whispered, "It was Serena's post
on Facebook, a bit too showy if you ask me. She wanted to flaunt the expensive gifts she received from
her family and even posted pictures of them. For each gift, she attached a note mentioning who it was
from, too obvious."
“What's wrong with that?" Arabella laughed. Wasn't it just like Serena's style?
She had always been this way. If she didn't flaunt the gifts, it would be unlike her.
“But you're the famous calligrapher Labella! Your words are worth their weight in gold. She wanted to
show off the value of the gift but didn’t want to give you due credit. Look at the photo, she just wrote
‘sister, without specifying which sister. Who knows who she's referring to?"
This meant Serena merely wanted to show off the value of the gifts, not her real relationship with
Arabella.
“It feels a bit manipulative." May couldn't help expressing indignation on Arabella’s behalf, “Either don't
flaunt it at all, or mention who it's from."
“Enough, go to sleep." Arabella didn't seem to mind. She had never taken Serena seriously, not in the
past, not now.
Meanwhile, in a luxury car, a rich young lad scrolling through Facebook couldn't help teasing his friend.
"Martin, your darling is showing off her gifts. How come I don't see anything from you?"
There were gifts from her parents, uncle, sister, and several brothers.
Only Martin was missing.
He was nowhere in the text, nor in the pictures. Going through Serena's previous Facebook posts, it
seemed like Martin had never been mentioned.
"Do people still not know you're her boyfriend?" The rich lad leaned back nonchalantly, phone in hand,
casually asking, "That ring and necklace, I remember you having a hard time getting them. But they are
nowhere to be found on her Facebook. She most likely considers you a backup."
Beside him, a young man with neatly cropped hair and clear eyes exuded a charm and maturity beyond
his years. Despite being dressed in a suit, his youth and upbringing were evident.
Such an upbringing shaped by wealth from a young age, his every move radiated elegance.
His name was Martin, who had accompanied Serena to Lidaria today on the pretext of work.
After Serena went to her uncle's house, he met up with some friends. Now, they were planning to stay
overnight at a friend's hotel.
“All the gifts from family members have been displayed except yours.” The rich lad hadn't finished his
sentence.
Martin calmly interjected, “I haven't passed the test yet. I'm not considered her real family."
"Why do you care so much?" The rich lad couldn't help but put his phone away, staring at him in
disbelief. "It's just a girl. How can she mess with your mind like this? Listen to my advice, if she's
keeping you hidden, let's find someone else. There's plenty of women, why let her have you wrapped
around her finger?"
It was then Martin looked at him, “I don't want to hear this from you again."
The rich lad was taken aback, "Do you enjoy being a lapdog?"
"I just like her, doesn't matter what I am to her."
Previously, she was engaged to Romeo, and all he could do was watch from afar. Later, it was rumored
that the engagement was called off privately.
As for the reason, he wasn't sure.
The fact that she was willing to be with him was more than enough.
