Chapter 225: Chapter 225: So What If I Ordered It

Grace Summers’s crying abruptly stopped, and her heart violently skipped a beat.

What did she just hear?

Declan Summers said Alexander Forrest told him everything?

How could that be possible!

She bit her lip, feigning calm as she spoke, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?"

"Grace, it has come to this point, are you still going to play dumb with me?" Declan Summers scoffed, a hint of mockery flashing in his dark eyes.

He always thought, as someone who watched Grace grow up, how could she be so scheming?

But at this moment, Declan Summers could no longer deceive himself.

Perhaps from the beginning, that layer of gentle and obedient façade was all fake.

It was all a pretense.

Grace Summers opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a single word.

It was as if someone had grabbed her throat, and her mind also went blank for a moment.

Even her vision started to blur, indescribably suffocating.

"Second brother, why, why do you say that? Would you rather believe Alexander Forrest than your own sister?"

Grace Summers still retorted stubbornly at this point.

Truly not giving up until she reached the end.

Declan Summers nodded towards Evan Summers standing beside him; Evan immediately took out his phone and played a recording.

The two brothers, worried about possible complications, had specifically made backup copies of the recording.

One was in Declan’s hands and another in Evan’s.

The moment the recording played, Grace Summers was completely dumbfounded.

She could never have imagined that Alexander Forrest would record it.

Alexander Forrest, known for being carefree and having a fiery temperament, acted impulsively, which was well-known in the industry.

So even his sudden pursuit of Serena Summers wouldn’t raise any suspicion.

Grace had initially seen this as an opportunity, which is why she had contacted Alexander Forrest.

She chuckled bitterly; she had been outwitted by the person she least respected.

Since the truth was out, Grace decided not to continue her pretense.

She sneered, "Even if I orchestrated it, so what? Second brother, have you forgotten how you used to treat Serena? Do you think what you’re doing now is of any use?"

"You!" Grace’s words were like a sharp needle, fiercely stabbing at Declan Summers’s pride.

Grace was right.

No matter what they did, there was no way to redeem Serena.

He felt somewhat defeated, but Evan Summers by his side scoffed and retorted, "Is all this not thanks to your doing? Initially, we genuinely cared for you, worried that Serena’s arrival would hurt you, hence we protected you fervently. But what have you done?"

What did you do?

You exploited the Summers Family’s affections to repeatedly harm and target Serena.

Even going as far as maliciously framing her, just to completely drive her out of the Summers family.

Grace Summers froze suddenly, feeling as if something was lost inside her, suddenly hollow.

But before she could reflect deeply, she heard Evan continue: "Whether Serena forgives us or not, I won’t let you bully her anymore. We owe it to her."

After speaking, he hung up the call.

Grace looked at her phone screen, dazed for a long time, unable to recover.

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

No!

She had to act fast and push forward her plans.

She couldn’t accept this.

Why would Serena have such good luck?

After being lost for over a decade without dying, and despite being used as a marriage pawn for profit, she managed to win Mr. Lucas Shaw’s affection.

That was Mr. Lucas Shaw!

A person high above that everyone looked up to, but could hardly reach!

It is said that Lucas Shaw’s illness is now cured, many heiresses regret not seizing the opportunity earlier.

Instead, Serena, an unknown person, reaped the benefits.

Grace bit her lip, feeling even more unwilling.

Everything Serena now had should have belonged to her.

If she had been the one to go through with the marriage back then, would the outcome have been different?

The place by Mr. Lucas Shaw’s side, would it have been hers!

Damn Serena!

Why wouldn’t that bitch die!

Why does she have to live and annoy her?

She hated her so much!

Grace tightly clutched her phone, her eyes, usually soft with gentleness, now brimmed with resentment and dissatisfaction.

She made a phone call, gave a few orders, and then hurriedly hung up.

By now, the internet was in chaos, with netizens’ abuses and attacks on Serena flooding everywhere.

Although it was unclear whom Serena had offended, the current situation was most advantageous to her.

Soon, there was a sudden surge of new paid trolls online.

They agreed to target Serena, while incidentally bringing up Grace’s matter.

"Does everyone still remember Grace Summers, who was driven out of the industry because of Serena? Now that I think about it, with her cunning, was that incident also deliberately staged?"

"Poor Grace, such a promising young starlet, driven out of the industry."

"I heard Grace is really gentle off-screen, I don’t believe she could do such things, it must be some misunderstanding!"

"Is Serena toxic, wherever she goes her name appears, is she aiming for a controversial path?"

"Grace is so pitiful, just because of a baseless recording, her career is gone, her engagement too."

...

While everyone was incessantly discussing, Grace, who hadn’t updated her Weibo for a long time, suddenly came online.

Then, she quickly posted a Weibo.

It was a selfie, taken against the light, her face looking a bit haggard, but still gentle and beautiful.

The accompanying text read, "The night is so long, I hope dawn comes soon."

This ambiguous statement was quickly interpreted wildly by various marketers, who pulled out Grace and Serena’s conflict for analysis.

Eventually, Grace was successfully whitewashed.

All responsibility was pushed onto Serena.

Netizens launched a new round of slander and ridicule.

Serena herself rarely updated her social media and never shared her Weibo account with anyone.

But despite this, the multitude of netizens dug it out.

Opening it randomly, she saw numerous abusive private messages.

She raised an eyebrow, opened Grace’s Weibo to take a look, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Was Grace stepping in at this time to deliver the final blow?

Too bad, her calculations were wrong.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was Crystal Harper calling, "Serena, did you see Weibo? I’ve already prepared the clarification draft, do you want to see it?"

"Do you believe me?" Serena asked curiously.

"Of course! I know you better than anyone! You’re my lifesaver, and definitely not what the internet portrays you to be!" Crystal’s tone was firm and serious.

Feeling the unconditional trust from someone, Serena felt a touch of warmth in her heart, "Thank you, Crystal."
