Chapter 102: Chapter 102 They Misunderstood Serena Summers

Today is Grace Summers’ engagement ceremony.

Grace Summers is filled with joy as she dresses up today, unable to hide the excitement and thrill in her eyes.

The servants who have worked for the Summers Family for many years all know that Miss Grace Summers and Young Master Parker, Everett Parker, have deep feelings for each other.

Grace Summers has been looking forward to this engagement ceremony for a long time, and now her wish is finally fulfilled.

Everyone is also happy because of it.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Grace Summers would return in tears.

Her delicate makeup was smudged, looking patchy with black and white, making her appearance particularly eerie.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her complexion extremely unsightly.

Mr. and Mrs. Summers, who could never bear to see Grace wronged before, were disheartened and had no intention of comforting Grace.

All the servants were full of doubts.

But after all, they were just servants and had no right to inquire about their masters’ affairs.

"Dad, Mom, I don’t want to live anymore! Why did my sister have to treat me like this?"

Grace Summers cried for a long time, yet she never received comfort from Mr. and Mrs. Summers or Evan.

She simply gave up hope.

"You still have the nerve to speak! This incident today was all caused by you! Now the Parker Family wants to cancel the engagement with our Summers Family! Do you know how big of a loss this is?"

The thought of losing the engagement with the Parker Family made Mr. Summers furious, his face filled with anger.

Although Mr. Summers was fond of Grace Summers, he was a businessman, and businessmen value profit above all.

If his daughter Grace could no longer bring him any business value, he would certainly give her up, just like he did with Serena.

Mr. Summers’ roar frightened Grace considerably.

Her shoulder shuddered violently with fear as she looked at her father.

Mrs. Summers, feeling pity, patted Grace’s shoulder and whispered to Mr. Summers, "Why are you yelling? Look how scared you’ve made the child! How can you blame Grace for this? It was clearly Serena wanting revenge on us, not wanting Grace to have a good life!"

Hearing Mrs. Summers’ defense, the injustice in Grace’s heart surged.

Tears fell like beads off a broken string.

"Mom, believe me, those things were really not done by me. I don’t know why my sister would frame me like this..." Grace cried breathlessly.

Seeing Grace in such a state, Mrs. Summers felt unbearable pain.

"I believe you, I raised you myself, how could I not know your character?" Mrs. Summers stroked Grace’s hair, her eyes filled with affection.

"I think Serena must resent that Grace is marrying into the Parker Family, so she deliberately framed Grace. What do you think, Evan?"

Evan did not respond immediately but looked at Grace with a complex expression.

"Grace, were those things indeed said by you in the audio?"

Although Evan does not like Serena, he feels that Serena has no need to lie.

Nor any reason to frame Grace at such a significant event.

"I didn’t! Evan, don’t you believe me either?" Grace’s eyes reddened, filled with grievance.

Evan’s lips parted slightly, but he said not a word.

"Marcus, was it necessary? Grace is already suffering enough today, yet you still question her like this!" Marcus rebuked coldly.

"I just want to clarify the truth. Have any of you considered what Serena has gotten after staying with the Summers Family for a full month?"

Evan’s words made everyone present inevitably stunned.

"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Summers couldn’t help but frown.

"It means exactly what it sounds like. We all thought that as soon as Serena came back, she would steal Grace’s affection and take her things. But has she ever asked us for anything?"

Evan cast a cold glance at everyone present, unable to resist a bitter laugh.

He answered himself, "No, she hasn’t asked for anything. Because everyone in the Summers Family told her that everything here belongs to Grace, and has nothing to do with her, the true biological daughter."

Evan’s words exploded like thunderclaps in everyone’s minds.

Mrs. Summers opened her mouth, her heart trembling hard.

Even Marcus Summers, who always wore a poker face, could not help but purse his lips tightly.

Serena Summers indeed had never actively asked them for anything.

More precisely, when the Summers Family took Serena back, it was done with impure motives.

So all they had to make sure was that Serena was still alive.

Nothing more.

Not even an extra word of concern.

Mrs. Summers sat stunned on the sofa, her heart felt as if it was tightly clutched by an invisible pair of hands.

Looking at their reaction, Evan Summers couldn’t help but sneer.

"Sometimes I really wonder, is Serena truly your biological daughter? Can there really be parents in this world who are so cruel to their own daughter?"

Grace Summers stared blankly at Evan, her eyes filled with astonishment and shock.

She had never expected her usually loving third brother to spontaneously speak up for Serena.

"Third brother..."

"Grace, I always thought my sister was a gentle and kind girl. But now, I can’t seem to understand you."

In his memory, Grace had always been well-behaved and sensible.

Thus, after Serena was taken back to the Summers Family, if Grace showed even a hint of grievance or sadness, he would do everything to protect her.

But now it seemed that he had always been played by Grace.

"Third brother, I didn’t..." Grace whispered in defense.

"Don’t call me third brother." Evan rebuked coldly, then turned and walked towards the door.

"It’s so late, where are you going?" Mr. Summers asked with a frown.

"I’m going to apologize."

Evan paused, his voice slightly choked, "Have you all forgotten? Just like Grace, Serena is also only twenty years old this year. Initially, she was overjoyed thinking she found her biological parents, but what did we bring her?"

Pain, despair, and hurt.

Having said that, Evan didn’t look back and left the Summers residence.

"Mom and Dad, how could he, how could he not trust me!" Grace cried incredulously.

However, everyone was immersed in their complicated emotions and paid no attention to her cries.

At night, Marcus Summers stood in the yard, smoking one cigarette after another.

Until late into the night, there were already a pile of cigarette butts at his feet.

The words of Evan circled in his mind over and over again.

Regardless of whether Grace admitted it or not, everyone had their answer in heart.

They had misunderstood Serena.

But now it was too late.

Everything was too late.

He and Mr. Summers had used Serena as a business pawn to exchange for their current life of luxury.

Back then, when the Summers Family faced bankruptcy, they had no other choice.

If they had to sacrifice someone, that person could only be Serena.

Actually, he and Mr. Summers had known Serena was still alive six months ago, but they had not been able to locate her.

Six months ago, Marcus was accidentally injured and hospitalized, needing an urgent blood transfusion.

The hospital’s blood bank was short at the time, and Serena happened to be at the hospital, so she gave him blood.

When the doctors tested the blood, they discovered a familial relationship between him and Serena.
