Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 103 Guilt

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Guilt

Due to the fact that blood tests for siblings’ DNA may not be very accurate, he specifically called Mr. Summers to the hospital.

A few days later, the DNA test results came out, confirming that Serena Summers was indeed his long-lost younger sister.

But at that time, the entire Summers Family treated Grace as their treasured darling, and subconsciously concealed this matter.

Later, when the Summers Family was about to face bankruptcy, Mr. Summers heard that the Shaw Family was looking for a bride for Mr. Lucas Shaw to avert misfortune and immediately thought of Serena.

Even though Marcus did not agree with this approach, they had no other choice at the time.

The Summers Family owed Serena too much.

Perhaps it could never be repaid in this lifetime.

Thinking of that cold and distant girl, Marcus felt a pang in his heart.

All night, the atmosphere in the Summers Family house was extremely eerie.

Grace hid in her room and cried for most of the night.

The servants did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

Looking at the bright moonlight, Marcus suddenly recalled the first time he met Serena.

She appeared very delicate, with exceptionally fine features, and her eyes and brows bore a slight resemblance to Mrs. Summers.

Her personality was very quiet; she never fought or scrambled for anything.

She never actively asked for anything.

When she came to the Summers Family, her eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He didn’t know when, but the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Probably because she was disappointed in the Summers Family.

Marcus felt a sudden stab of pain in his heart.

He placed his hand over his chest, and a bitter smile crept across his lips involuntarily.

Was it a mistake after all?

Upstairs.

Mrs. Summers tossed and turned in bed, her mind full of the audio of Grace’s malicious and indifferent voice.

Grace was raised by Mrs. Summers, and she couldn’t believe that Grace could be so malicious.

But the reality was undeniable.

Mrs. Summers reached out to nudge Mr. Summers.

"Henry, did we do something wrong? Serena is our biological daughter, did we go too far before?"

Despite not having much affection for her dropped flesh and blood, Mrs. Summers still felt a bit guilty.

Mr. Summers snapped his eyes open and said coldly to Mrs. Summers, "The moment Serena came back, she caused turmoil in the house, what’s there to sympathize with? Grace was the one we raised, don’t you understand her? Her character might indeed be a bit spoiled, but how could she have done such a malicious thing? It must be Serena slandering her..."

Mrs. Summers frowned, feeling something odd about that statement.

But before she could think further, Mr. Summers continued, "Right now, think about how to deal with the Parker Family’s anger. We have already offended the Shaw Family, and now the Parker Family wants to break off the engagement with us."

Mrs. Summers’ attention was indeed diverted, and she asked hesitantly, "So, what should we do?"

"Our families’ marriage agreement was set by Old Master Parker; they would need his approval to cancel it," Mr. Summers said with a dark expression and a sharp glint in his eyes.

Mrs. Summers’ eyes lit up, and she eagerly said, "I will take Grace to see Old Master Parker tomorrow. But Old Master Parker always cares about reputation, would he truly still want to pursue this marriage?"

Mr. Summers gave Mrs. Summers a cold look and said, "As you said, Old Master Parker values reputation the most. What would outsiders think of the Parker Family if they knew Old Master Parker did not keep his promises?"

Mrs. Summers suddenly understood.

"Alright, let’s go to sleep, I have to work tomorrow," Mr. Summers coldly retracted his gaze, turned away from Mrs. Summers, and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at his back, Mrs. Summers couldn’t help but frown.

Lately, Mr. Summers turned his back to her every night, leaving her feeling somewhat uneasy.

Mrs. Summers pursed her lips and slowly moved behind Mr. Summers, extending her hand to wrap around his waist.

"What are you doing? Go to sleep quickly." Mr. Summers’ body suddenly stiffened, and he quickly brushed off Mrs. Summers’ hand.

With a aggrieved frown, Mrs. Summers said, "We’re husband and wife, what’s wrong with me hugging you?"

"I’ve already said that I’m very tired and want to sleep." Mr. Summers was already immensely troubled by the Parker Family’s decision to cancel the marriage arrangement, and his mood was at an all-time low.

He turned over, got out of bed, and walked toward the door with the pillow and blanket.

"Where are you going?" asked Mrs. Summers in a deep voice.

"To the guest room," Mr. Summers said without turning his head and left.

Unable to restrain herself, Mrs. Summers stomped her foot in anger, and had a bad night’s sleep.

Serena Summers was completely unaware of everything happening in the Summers Family.

In the past few days, she had recompared the data and samples and discovered that the samples indeed had been tampered with.

Looking at that tampered sample, Serena Summers’ face grew cold.

There were only five people, including herself, who had keys to Liam Shaw’s lab.

Serena’s key was newly made, and she had only received it a few days ago.

This meant that the person who tampered with the samples was definitely among these five.

The lab had not installed any cameras previously due to confidentiality.

Therefore, Serena wasn’t sure who was responsible.

Liam Shaw had kept them on the team partly because their abilities were strong enough, and partly because they were trustworthy.

So it was unforeseen for such an incident to occur.

After discussing with Liam Shaw, they decided to bide their time and do nothing for now.

If someone could tamper once, they could do it a second time.

What they needed to do was to wait patiently.

"Serena, how’s your wrist? We’ve all seen the hot search on Weibo; I can’t believe Grace Summers’ fans are so crazy," Emily Green asked with concern.

"Exactly! Aren’t there any normal people when it comes to idol-chasing these days?" Sean Wynn muttered in agreement, at a low voice.

"It’s much better after applying the ointment Professor Parker sent me," Serena Summers replied with a light laugh.

Serena Summers lowered her gaze to the wound on her arm.

The red mark had faded quite a bit, but the scar had not yet healed.

Emily Green suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, "How did it get so severe?"

"Yeah, Serena, with such a serious injury, why didn’t you rest at home?" Sean Wynn frowned and stared at Liam Shaw accusingly.

Serena Summers was the lab’s treasure.

Despite the short time, Serena’s medical talent had far surpassed everyone’s imagination.

Sometimes, even these "seniors" facing obstacles would subconsciously consult Serena.

Problems that seemed very difficult to everyone else would be quickly resolved when they reached Serena.

Sean Wynn was both envious and jealous, wishing he could crack open that little brain of Serena’s to see what was inside.

"Don’t blame Big Brother, I’m the restless one; I wanted to come and have a look," Serena Summers said, the corners of her lips slightly lifting in a delicate smile.

"Did you hear that? Don’t wrongly accuse me," Liam Shaw raised an eyebrow, then turned his head to Serena and said, "Serena, if your hand is really not convenient, you shouldn’t do those heavy research tasks."

"I understand."

Serena Summers smiled and nodded her head, then took out quite a few herbs from her bag and placed them on the table.

Sean Wynn looked at Serena curiously, "Serena, what are you doing?"

"I’m preparing some medicine for treating burns," Serena responded with a smile.
