Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Chapter 477

Rather than focusing on Serena’s emotions, Clark was at the moment more concerned about Rose and Carol’s injuries, so he didn’t bother to explain much.

Serena, on the other hand, was growing increasingly upset when Clark didn’t call back after she hung up. Tears were streaming down her face like pearls slipping off a string.

Martha, who was nearby, overheard the conversation and had an inkling that something was amiss. She asked cautiously, "Serena, do you think Clark is annoyed with you for disturbing them?"

"Clark is becoming more and more unreasonable," Serena huffed, angrily wiping away her tears. "He deliberately didn’t answer my calls just now. I had to call four or five times before he would pick up. Then he asked if something was wrong. Can’t I call him if there’s nothing wrong? He even sounded irritated! As if I was interrupting something important!"

She sobbed a few times, then continued, "And he said he’s been busy lately and asked me not to call or text him for a few days. What could he and Rosemary possibly be busy with? Eating out, sightseeing, snapping photos?

That’s not important! So busy that he doesn’t have time even to answer my calls? Can’t even bother to pretend to care about his sister!"

Serena cried for a while longer before she managed to say, "He claims to treat me like a sister, but it’s all lies!

They’re probably checking in at some tourist spot right now, having a great time! Rosemary must have been gloating when she heard how Clark talked to me! She’s probably just a step away from flaunting her victory in front of me!"

She sniffled, "I don’t see what’s so great about her. She always acts so smugly, yet everyone likes her! Why, why doesn’t anyone like me? Did Rosemary make them act this way?"

Martha sighed, "Do you now see the importance of blood ties?"

Serena’s tears welled up in her eyes. Could it really be because of blood ties?

"When they mistakenly thought you were a blood relative, they treated you exceptionally well. But now that you’re not, just think about the change in their attitudes. Clark was pretending at first when he came back, but he couldn’t keep up the act. All you did was call to check on him, and he treats you like this!"

Martha’s disapproval of the Collins family, particularly Clark, grew stronger. As soon as he came back, he was glued to Rosemary. Anyone would think they were a couple!

Nobody stuck to their sister like that. It’s just disgraceful!

Among his five brothers, he was definitely the least respectable!

"Martha, I’m so upset," Serena sobbed into Martha’s arms. "Why, why don’t they accept my feelings when I genuinely consider them as my family? My parents, my brothers, even Rosemary!"

All this time, she had been trying so hard to win them over, but to no avail.

"They don’t care about my feelings. None of them care about my feelings!"

Martha patted her back sympathetically and sighed, "The worst part is you can’t leave this family. If you do, Rosemary will only laugh at you even more."

"Martha, what should I do?" Serena sobbed. "You’re the only one who can help me figure that out now."

In that household, only Martha was truly devoted to her, treating her with the utmost kindness.

"I do have a suggestion," Martha proposed while rubbing her back. "Before Mrs. Collins exposes you as a false heiress, you’re still considered the genuine Miss Collins in everyone’s eyes. Before the announcement, why not secure a good marriage for yourself? Use the Collins name as a stepping stone to leap into another wealthy family. You could take a considerable wedding gift with you. Wasn’t that better than enduring the hostilities here?"

"But..." Serena hesitated. She was only a freshman in college and didn’t want to rush into marriage. Most importantly, she still held a sliver of hope for this family.

She fantasized that they would treat her kindly, that they would change their minds and treat her as in the past.

"I’ve done some research," Martha continued. "On the global billionaire list, Romeo sits at the top. The second to the eleventh are much older. The thirteenth is a playboy. The fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth are all women.

The eighteenth and nineteenth don’t fit. All in all, I think the best match for you is the thirty-sixth on the list—the Cooper family we were discussing."

A while back, when Louisa discovered Serena was still harboring hopes for Romeo, Martha quickly covered for her, lying that Serena already had a boyfriend.

Martin Cooper had been pursuing Serena since middle school for a full six years. After the college entrance exams, Martha lied that Serena was touched by Martin’s sincerity and was giving him a chance to court her.

She assured everyone that Serena had no inappropriate thoughts about Romeo.

Since then, Serena had been forced to occasionally go out for dinner or a movie with Martin just to keep up appearances for her family.

Martin, thinking he finally had a chance, would often buy expensive gifts and drive to the Collins’ residence just to catch a glimpse of Serena.

He was infatuated with Serena—almost worshiping her.

But Serena didn’t share his feelings.

"Their department store chain has over six thousand branches worldwide, employing over two million people.

Martin, leveraging his family resources, launched a logistics company. After a successful round of funding, he now owns fifty cargo planes and exclusive air routes. His air cargo business has expanded nationwide, outperforming other logistics companies!" Martha explained.

If things continued in this way, the Cooper family could potentially surpass the Collins family, ranking in the top fifteen globally.

"The key is his business acumen at such a young age. His future prospects are promising."

At such a tender age, he was already making strategic decisions in business. How many people in the world possess such capabilities?

Seeing Serena still hesitating, Martha couldn’t help but add, "He could very well be the next Romeo! Serena, his family is well-off, and he’s quite handsome. Plus, he’s absolutely obsessed with you. You must seize this opportunity. Countless women marry into wealthy families only to find their status lower than the family pet.

But with Martin by your side, your future is bound to be bright! Instead of chasing after Romeo, who’s clearly uninterested, why not choose someone who loves you? I want you to be happy."

Serena was somewhat disappointed. Her former fiancé, Romeo, was a top-tier figure—the envy of many. How many people admired her, looked up to her...
