Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Chapter 431

"Indeed, Rose has the Collins’ family blood coursing through her veins, but don’t get too excited yet.

For the past eighteen years, the true apple of the Lady’s eye has been Serena, and the one cherished by her five brothers is also Serena! The depth of their affection for her over these years is beyond words. You all know that deep down!"

Martha, supporting Serena, spoke with words that were like a knife to their hearts.

"With such profound affection, Serena has more than enough power to kick you all out of here! If you dare to plot against her behind her back, none of you will be able to stay in this family."

"Whether we can stay or not isn’t up to you alone," said Edith, looking at Serena with disappointment.

"Serena, over the years, I’ve watched you grow up. I know you’re not inherently bad. At eighteen, you need to understand right from wrong. Don’t let your future be swayed by those with malicious intentions."

With that, Edith bent down to pick up the flowers from the ground.

She had spent thirty dollars on these flowers, and now they were desecrated and trampled on. She couldn’t possibly give them to Rose now.

It was really a pity. These beautiful flowers could have brightened Rose’s day, but instead, they were ruined by these two.

"Clean up the mess," Edith instructed the maids as she exited, holding the damaged flowers.

To her surprise, this action provoked Martha.

"Oh, look at you, ordering people around. You’re just a servant, but you’re acting as if you run the place. You think you’re something special just because you’re clinging to Rose? Stop putting on airs in front of us!"

Edith did not want to waste her words on Martha, as it would be like arguing with the stubborn—there was no reasoning with her.

She placed her hope on Serena.

"Ms. Serena, it’s Ms. Rose who approved that you were allowed to stay in this family. If she had any resentment towards you, she could have made use of her parents’ guilt and had you leave right from the start—but she didn’t."

Edith spoke from her conscience.

"When your parents and your brothers were being kind to you, Rose didn’t interfere. She didn’t sabotage you. She didn’t speak ill of you in front of them."

Edith continued, "Rose has been busy all day. Maybe she encountered some tricky issues and needed Clark’s help. They’re both doctors, right? If it’s a matter of life and death, it’s only reasonable that Clark would drop his shopping to help. Rose is straightforward. She says what’s on her mind. She doesn’t beat around the bush."

Seeing Serena silent, Edith felt she had taken some of it in, so she added, "Think about it."

After Edith left, the maids began cleaning up the mess in silence.

"What’s with the slow pace? Are you here to slack off?" Martha couldn’t help but reprimand. "In the Lady’s heart, Serena is the most important one. You short-sighted fools, you’ll get what’s coming for you."

One of the maids couldn’t help but say, "Martha, we were all watching Edith arrange the flowers just now. She didn’t use her cell phone to contact Rose, and you misunderstood her."

"You’re still defending her? It seems like you really want to leave."

The maids were scared out of their wits and quickly cleaned up and left.

"Those blind fools! I need to teach them a lesson someday, or they’ll forget who’s in charge in this house!"

Martha angrily led Serena upstairs, muttering all the way, "That old hag Edith, trying to mislead you, smear me in front of you, tell you to distinguish right from wrong—bah, isn’t she just saying I’m the bad guy? She’s the one giving Rose advice, yet she still plays the good guy!"

Serena gently patted Martha’s hand, saying, "Don’t worry, I can see clearly. It’s just that I don’t know if Clark had an emergency. If it’s really as serious as Edith mentioned, a matter of life and death, then I might have misunderstood Clark and Rosemary."

"Serena? How did she manage to brainwash you? It’s already this late. What could be so urgent that it required Clark to leave? Okay, let’s say it’s a matter of life and death. Clark could still have explained it to you. But he didn’t even consider your feelings and left you behind to follow Ms. Rose. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?"

"Clark said he would go shopping with me another day. He also told me to go first and find some friends to accompany me, to buy more of what I like, and then ask him for reimbursement."

Upon hearing this, Martha scoffed, "Clark really does play favorites. He gave his unlimited black card to Ms. Rose, letting her buy whatever she wanted. But when it comes to you, you can only buy things and then ask him for reimbursement. If you buy a lot, it’ll be awkward to ask him for reimbursement, right?"

Serena’s gaze dimmed. Yes, when she heard Clark say these words, there was a sudden chill in her heart.

She used to think Clark was the fairest, but lately, she began to feel that Clark was biased, just like Hunter Chasel—as if Rosemary was the only one in his heart.

"Serena, I’ll go shopping with you! Since Clark has already said so, let’s buy more. Having some things as our own is better than being penniless in the future," Martha persuaded. "Wait for me a moment. I’m going to change my clothes."

"But Martha, it’s already half-past eight."

The mall closed at half-past ten.

"We’ll buy as much as we can. Just pick the expensive ones. Don’t worry about whether you like them or not!"

Under Martha’s arrangement, Serena’s originally unbalanced heart was completely shaken. In the end, she went to the mall with Martha to go on a shopping spree. Both of them let loose and bought without even looking at the price tags.

Meanwhile

Rosemary parked her car in front of Villa Cascada.

The armed guard at the gate saw the boss getting out of the car with a handsome man and was somewhat puzzled.

"Boss, who is this?"

Jack noticed the commotion and immediately came over, slapping the back of his head.

"Why are you asking? This is Clark! Put away your weapon now."

The guard at the gate quickly put away his gun, calling out, somewhat bewildered, "Clark."

Clark gazed at the grandiose mansion in front of him. Just the entrance lawn alone was several thousand square meters. What was key was that many people were patrolling back and forth with weapons. The brightly lit mansion looked mysterious—like some sacred palace that did not allow strangers to enter.

Clark didn’t know why Jack knew his identity or why he called his sister "boss." No wonder his sister said on the phone that she would take him to a place, but she didn’t want anyone to know about this place and asked him not to publicize it.

With so many people holding weapons, it certainly couldn’t be publicized.

"Rose, what is this place?" Clark asked the girl beside him.

"This is one of our boss’s main bases. There are many laboratories inside, equipped with the most advanced equipment and instruments from home and abroad. Many of our boss’s world-renowned medical experiments are completed here. Like that SIR virus epidemic in Antarctica last time—the antidote was researched here by our boss."
