Chapter 183: Chapter 183: She Still Defends the Undersized

"They aren’t blind; they are simply too conceited because Serena has been living in the countryside all these years, taking her back is regarded as a huge favor."

Thus, everyone in the Summers Family looked down on Serena.

With Grace Summers maliciously instigating.

Serena quickly became the target of public criticism.

Vincent Carter clenched his cellphone, a surge of anger suddenly rising in his chest.

The Summers Family really doesn’t appreciate what they have.

They have no idea how outstanding Serena is.

"It’s better this way. Being severed from the Summers Family, there will come a time when they regret it. The person they look down upon is exactly the one they can’t hope to match."

Edward Selwyn sneered with coldness in his eyes.

Vincent Carter nodded in agreement, "You’re right, let them come and beg Serena in the future."

"How is your film crew doing? I’ve been too busy recently, haven’t had time to follow the news." Edward Selwyn opened a news app and typed in Prosperity Hill, immediately seeing the news of a torrential downpour.

"Nothing much, just that a few staff members and actors were seriously injured, and have already been sent to the hospital." Vincent Carter lay down despondently on the bed, spreading out his arms and legs.

He looked up at the white ceiling and sighed, "All thanks to Serena. If it weren’t for her stepping in, it might have been a major disaster."

Vincent Carter briefly recounted how Serena had treated the injuries of Crystal Harper and Claire Tanner, sounding extremely proud.

His little junior sister is truly remarkable!

After hearing this, Edward Selwyn frowned, "I told you to learn medicine properly, but you wouldn’t listen. If it weren’t for Serena, do you think you could still survive in the entertainment industry? Moreover, such incidents are bound to happen more than once."

"Big senior brother, just let me be. I’m really not cut out for medical studies!"

Among the four disciples taken by Victor Bennett, only Serena had a talent for medicine.

The other three were all half-baked.

Only Edward Selwyn was relatively competent.

The others... well.

Initially, the master, Victor, was frustrated and urged the three brothers daily to study medicine.

Later, he simply gave up and focused all his attention on teaching Serena, passing almost all his life’s medical skills to her.

"Even if you are not proficient in medicine, you should at least understand the most basic medical knowledge, otherwise how can you claim to be a disciple of Victor Bennett?" Edward Selwyn has always been indulgent to his younger fellow disciple, but more so he felt disappointed.

"Big senior brother, please spare me!" Vincent Carter quickly pleaded.

"By the way, how is Serena doing? Is she injured?"

"She’s fine, with Lucas Shaw looking after her, she hardly needs me." Vincent Carter clicked his tongue, "Ungrateful little thing, I’ve doted on her for so many years, I only said a few words against Lucas Shaw and she already took his side."

Edward Selwyn laughed lightly, "You know her temperament. Although she appears obedient and gentle, she is actually extraordinarily stubborn, and once she’s set her mind on something, she’ll stick to it no matter what."

Thus, when he knew of Serena’s determination about Lucas Shaw, he did not try to stop her excessively.

Because he knew it would be futile to attempt to stop her.

The two brothers chatted for a while longer, and Edward Selwyn instructed, "No matter what, you must take good care of Serena. Once I finish my work here, I’ll personally make a trip there."

After hanging up the phone, Vincent Carter lapsed into deep thought.

When had Edward Selwyn ever cared so much about his fellow disciple?

He believed, if not for Serena being there, Edward Selwyn certainly wouldn’t bother with him.

Nonetheless, once he returns to S city, he needs to investigate the Summers Family thoroughly.

Declan Summers says he is Serena’s real older brother.

But his attitude towards Serena doesn’t show any of the close-knit intimacy you’d expect between relatives.

To call them strangers would not be an overstatement.

It’s clear that Serena’s life in the Summers Family is not well.

Vincent Carter tossed aside his phone and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

Daring to bully Vincent Carter’s junior sister, truly tired of living.

Meanwhile, in another room, Declan Summers also connected to the hotel’s internet.

His phone notifications popped up one by one, and Declan thought they were work-related messages, so he didn’t open them immediately.

After he finished dinner and returned, he discovered that the number of messages on his phone had already surpassed 99+, and there were also several missed calls.

Among them, the majority of messages were from Grace Summers.

He arched his eyebrows and couldn’t help but curve his lips upward.

Grace still has some conscience; his doting on her had not been in vain.

His slender fingers tapped on the screen, opening the chat interface with Grace Summers. His fingertip slid down for a long while before finally finding the first unread message.

Declan originally opened it with joy, but the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Grace started by persistently complaining that Serena Summers overtly and covertly targeted her.

She also very kindly defended Serena, saying it wasn’t intentional and hoped he wouldn’t blame Serena.

If there had only been one or two such messages, Declan might not have noticed anything wrong.

But there were dozens of similar messages inside, which made him start to doubt.

Being steeped in the entertainment industry for so long and having seen all kinds of people, he knew about the subtle tactics often used within the industry to smear people.

At first, he never thought about it in this way because Grace was someone he had watched grow up.

He knew Grace’s character better than anyone.

But now, staring at the chain of messages on his phone screen, he suddenly fell into thought.

Is Grace... really as pure and kind as she appears to be?

If she truly were kind, she wouldn’t say such things.

Yet, he didn’t want to speculate maliciously about Grace.

Declan was internally conflicted, but his fingers didn’t stop.

Sliding to messages from about half a month ago, his gaze suddenly froze.

The day before, Grace had shared her joy about her upcoming engagement, but the next day, her style completely changed.

She sent several emojis of crying and feeling wronged.

Serena Summers had ruined her engagement party with Everett Parker, tarnished her reputation in front of everyone by slandering her, and even played a digitally altered recording.

Declan didn’t know what the recording was, but clearly, it had a severe negative impact on Grace.

The engagement was called off, and Grace’s reputation in the entertainment industry was completely destroyed.

Declan immediately opened Weibo and searched for Grace Summers in the search box.

Several entries popped up.

Declan clicked on each and began to read through; the more he read, the worse his expression became.

For some reason, these Weibo entries had not been deleted, so the recording was still there.

After listening to the recording, Declan was completely stunned.

The voices were indeed Serena’s and Grace’s.

But Grace’s voice was sharp and harsh, with a trace of indefinable resentment, strikingly different from the Grace he knew.

He believed that those malicious words had all come from Grace.

In his memory, Grace had always been gentle, kind, and empathetic.

Ever since Serena was brought back to the Summers Family, Grace had always been forbearing, even when she was wronged, she would just silently cry, never...

At this thought, Declan suddenly froze.

He realized that every time Grace was bullied, he had never personally witnessed it.

All this had been told to him by Grace.
