Chapter 673
How on earth?
Everything's topsy-turvy?
Serena couldn't believe that the image she had worked so hard to build had collapsed so easily. She
closed her eyes tightly, took a moment to laugh, then slowly rose to her feet.
Since the cat was out of the bag, there was no need for her to keep up the pretense.
“Yes, I am indeed the adopted child.” Serena lowered her head and took a while before lifting it to look
at Arabella. There was self-mockery, heartache, and jealousy in her eyes. “She’s the real Collins family
daughter.”
“What on earth is going on?” Delia and her three friends were totally bamboozled.
However, Serena was not in the mood to answer her question. She looked at Chasel, tears streaming
down her face.
“You all said that after Arabella came back, you would still treat me like family. But every single thing
you do, every word you say, you're all siding with her!”
Serena's tears fell pitifully.
“Chasel, we've lived together for eighteen years. Are our feelings less important than those of a sister
who just came back?”
Chasel's eyes were complicated, but it wasn’t true.
“And you, from the day you set foot in the Collins family's home, have you ever been friendly to me?”
Serena loudly questioned Arabella.
Kelly, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped in to defend: “Bella's always
been sort of aloof, but she has a heart of gold.”
“And you!” Serena glared at Kelly and said, “What's it to you? You’re an outsider so why are you
sticking your nose in other people’s business?”
Serena, saying this, shed more tears of hurt and disappointment: “I just wanted things to stay the
same, to continue having the love of my parents and brothers. What did I do wrong? Why did
everything change when Arabella came back?”
“This has always been her home so she should be here.” Chasel, as always, kept his cool, but his gaze
became more complicated. “And you've enjoyed her life for eighteen years, but you smudged her
reputation and spread rumors about her after she came back. Did you tell our classmates she was kept
by an old man?”
Kelly, Joyce, and Mya: What? Was there such a thing? If Serena really did say this, that's way too
much!
“No, I didn’t say that!” Serena shook her head, laughing in despair. “So now, whatever bad rumors
there are about her, I'm the one who spread them? Let me make it clear again: I did not spread this
rumor!”
“Then, did Myrna really push you?” Chasel looked into her eyes again, fluctuating between hope and
disappointment.
“If I say yes, would you believe me?” Serena cried and then laughed, saying, “If I say no, would you be
even more disappointed in me?”
“Enough with the dilly-dallying. I've already gotten the surveillance footage from just now.” Kelly,
standing aside, directly interrupted her, playing the video clip from her phone for everyone to see.
To make sure everyone understood, she even set it to slow motion. In the video, Myrna clearly pulled
back her hand, but Serena still deliberately fell onto the grass.
The truth was crystal clear!
Delia was also stunned when she saw this. How could this be? Did Serena really fall on her own?
She had just defended Serena without hesitation, trusting her friend and even claiming that she saw
Myrna push someone.
She never thought the truth would be like this. Her disappointment in Serena was extreme.
“I considered you my best friend, but you deceived me time and time again! Your fainting spell just now
was fake too, wasn’t it?” Delia gritted her teeth and said, “Serena, you've really let me down!”
