“Serena, Hans and Mr. McMillian are aware of everything. It's best if you just confess and stop fighting


it."


Edith's kindly advice only served to make Serena clench her fists. Even a servant dared to trample over


her now?


“Serena, come here."


From a distance, Hans called out to her, his expression cold.


Caught between a rock and a hard place, Serena knew her tricks wouldn't work anymore. So she


mustered up the courage and walked over.


“Why did you lie?" Sylvia was the first to confront her as she approached. Her eyes were tear-streaked,


and she questioned angrily, "I've always considered you my best friend, sharing all my secrets with


you! In my heart, you've always been a pure and innocent girl. Why have you changed so much?"


Antonia expressed her disappointment as well, "We know everything now, Serena."


“You've completely changed. You're unrecognizable to us now.” Melissa also asked, evidently


disappointed, "When did you start to change? How did we not notice?"


“It was not your fault that you were switched at birth,’ Una began, “Hans still treats you like a sister, and


you are still the lady of this house. Your living standards and privileges have remained the same as


before. There was no need for these lies."


“Yes, we used to envy your status, envying the limited edition designer clothes in your closet, and how


everything revolved around you like stars around the moon. But we were not just after the benefits you


could offer. We wouldn't stop being friends just because you're not a Collins by blood.” Christine added.


Although they were indeed hoping to benefit from Serena today. Some limited edition bags and shoes


were hard to come by with their connections.


But for Serena, she had too many. More than she could ever wear or use.


Serena had often given them older models with tags still attached. Those were limited editions, and


they were more than happy to accept.


To them, it was a sharing between best friends. They too had given Serena branded items.


Even though they weren't as expensive as what Serena gave them.


Overall, even if Serena no longer had the ability to send them anything in the future, their years of


friendship were real.


Otherwise, they wouldn't have stepped in for her earlier, wanting to put Arabella in her place.


"I'm sorry."


Suddenly, Serena bowed deeply to them. When she raised her face, tears were already at the corners


of her eyes.


"lL actually guessed that you knew everything when I saw you standing here from afar. To be honest, I


feel relieved now. I'm glad I don't have to lie anymore"


As Serena said this, she smiled sadly, tears streaming down her face.


"You may not understand how insecure, uneasy, and frightened I felt when someone suddenly


appeared who could potentially take away everything I had."


Before Serena could finish, Sylvia cried out, "But what you enjoyed was her life! You should give it


back!"


The other girls nodded in agreement.


“Arabella didn't ask you to return it. She let you continue to enjoy this life. Shouldn't you be grateful?


Instead, you secretly slandered her. Honestly, Serena, I'm very disappointed in you. We shouldn't be


friends anymore. Don't contact me."


Sylvia turned to leave, but suddenly something seemed to occur to her. She stopped, looking back at


Serena.


Serena thought she had changed her mind.


But the next second, her gaze moved to Arabella, and she walked over to her, bowing respectfully, "I'm


sorry. I blamed you without knowing the whole truth. I even insulted you. I was wrong."


The other girls also apologized to Arabella one after another.
