Chapter 374: Chapter 374

The next morning.

Kenneth was praising while having breakfast, "The stuff Serena sent is really handy. I added the herbs Rose prepared into it, and I slept so well last night. Honey, you should try it too, I promise it’ll give you a good night’s sleep."

"Why don’t you give Serena a call later, let her know, and give her some feedback," Louisa ladled a bowl of oatmeal and handed it to Kenneth. "Also, tell her, the skincare products she sent are amazing. I love them."

"Sure, I’ll do that right away."

Just as Kenneth was about to whip out his phone, Martha brought in a spread of breakfast, chuckling, "Let me make the call. Your breakfast is getting cold, and Serena bought me some stuff a few days ago too. It’s a good chance for me to thank her."

"Alright," Louisa smiled a motherly smile. To think Serena was so considerate, not only getting gifts for her parents but also thinking of Martha, who’d been taking care of her since she was a kid.

Such a grateful child.

Martha breathed a sigh of relief and dialed Serena’s number in front of them. At that moment, Serena was in class. As Martha expected, Serena did not answer the call immediately but sent a message asking what was going on after hanging up.

"Serena is in class, she can’t answer the phone," Martha reported, then replied to Serena in front of Kenneth and Louisa, "Your dad says the foot spa you sent is very useful; he had a very good sleep last night. Your mom also praised you for being very thoughtful, saying the skincare products you sent are perfect."

After sending the voice message, Martha put away her phone, and then commended, "Serena is such a dutiful daughter, always thinking of you two."

"And always thinking of you too," Louisa laughed. "Serena has been pure and kind-hearted since she was little."

"That’s because you raised her well."

After serving Kenneth and Louisa breakfast, Martha checked her phone, and sure enough, Serena had replied.

"Martha, did you go to my parents last night?"

Last night, Martha said on the phone that she would subtly hint to Kenneth and Louisa to appreciate the gifts Serena had sent.

Martha took the opportunity to reply, "They were about to go to bed last night, so I did start the foot bath and let your dad try it. Your mom also put on the skincare products."

Serena felt a bit down. So it was because of Martha that her parents remembered the gifts she sent.

"Oh right, Myrna just sent something to the house, and your parents went to open it right after breakfast."

The difference in treatment was too obvious. What Serena sent was left aside. What Chasel’s girlfriend sent, they were so eager to see right after breakfast.

Serena felt even more down. She didn’t expect that in her parents’ eyes, she was not even as important as Chasel’s girlfriend.

"Myrna prepared gifts not only for your parents but also for Rosemary," Martha hesitated. "It’s just, it seems like there’s nothing for you."

Serena lowered her gaze. "Well, it’s nothing. She can give it to whoever she wants. My attitude towards her probably made her dislike me, which is normal."

"Serena, haven’t you noticed? Everyone in the house treats you like an outsider, even Myrna, who’s never been part of this family, dares to treat you like this," Martha wanted to say more, but hearing the lady calling her, she said, "Serena, don’t be too upset. The lady is calling me. I need to see what she needs."

"Okay," after hanging up the phone, Serena stood in the corridor outside the classroom, her eyes filled with disappointment. She felt as if the whole world had abandoned her.

"Martha, where’s Martha?"

"Lady, I’m here," Martha hurried over.

"Look, these are the gifts Myrna sent. These are for Serena. Help her take them to the cloakroom."

"Myrna sent so many gifts? Serena got some too?" Martha happily accepted the gifts. "That’s so thoughtful. I really have to thank Myrna."

"Serena’s got one too, everyone in this house has, including you," Louisa grinned, digging out a large box of gifts specifically for the staff. It was neatly packed with dozens of identical parcels.

She handed one to Martha, chuckling. "This one’s yours."

"Miss Myrna still thinks of us, such a sweetheart," Martha said, laughing. "What is it?"

Louisa unwrapped Rosemary’s present from Myrna, a bunch of stunning dresses. Louisa picked up one of them. It was so beautiful that she could already picture Rosemary in it. She was sure it would look lovely on her.

"Absolutely stunning, it fits Ms. Rose’s personality to a T," Martha complimented generously.

"Right? I think it’s gorgeous too. Myrna has a good eye for clothes," Louisa said, examining the dresses Myrna had sent for Rosemary, then said to Kenneth, "Myrna is really thoughtful."

"Yeah, Myrna’s considerate and polite, unlike Chasel who’s more introverted, and not as bubbly as Myrna."

"Each to their own. He might not be a big talker, but he always puts her first. He really cherishes her."

Spotting the lively chat, Martha took her gift and went upstairs, sneakily taking a photo of the gifts with her phone and sending it to Serena.

"These are all gifts from Myrna for Rosemary."

She exaggerated, including all the large boxes in the photo, making it seem like Myrna had given Rosemary a ton of gifts.

"Ma’am also thinks that dress is fabulous, and says Rosemary would look stunning in it."

"Looks like there are dozens of dresses."

"They look expensive."

Martha picked out the most unremarkable dress from the gifts Myrna gave to Serena, purposefully messing it up a bit, took a quick snap, and sent it, hinting, "This is what’s left."

What was left? What did she mean? Serena was a bit confused.

"It’s picked out from that pile of gifts."

Martha added on purpose, "Maybe they thought Myrna didn’t prepare a gift for you and feared you wouldn’t get along, so they picked some from Rosemary’s pile. Ah, something less noticeable, as if it’s from Myrna."

"Serena, I’ll put these in your closet. Check them out later."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Serena was more upset.

A sly glint flashed in Martha’s eyes. Serena was her own flesh and blood, watching her daughter call Kenneth and Louisa "Dad and Mom" since she was little, and with their close relationship, of course, she was jealous. This was a perfect opportunity to slowly draw her daughter’s heart closer to her, her biological mother.

She hoped to use the Collins family to help Serena gain greater success. Simply put, she wanted to score big from the Collins family, even hoping to live a better life with the Collins family’s help.

Emotionally, she didn’t want her daughter to maintain a close relationship with the Collins family anymore. She wanted her daughter to depend more on her.
