Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Hating the Injustice of Fate

After that, the Lane Family severed all ties and interactions with Jeanette Lane.

They even deliberately avoided paying any attention to the news about the Summers Family.

As time went by, they acted as if they had no such sister.

What they never expected was that the Summers Family had actually lost Serena Summers, and she was gone for over a decade.

Thinking about it, tears suddenly welled up in their eyes.

Julian Lane reached out and hugged Serena tightly, murmuring non-stop, "It’s good that you’re back... so good."

Serena could clearly feel the sadness emanating from Julian Lane.

She extended her arms to hug Julian back, patting him on the back.

"Uncle, I’m already back."

So, don’t be sad.

Lucas Shaw watched the two embrace tightly, his fists clenched involuntarily, but in the end, he didn’t rush forward to separate them.

Let it be, after all, it was Serena’s uncle.

He restrained himself.

The clothes needed to be shipped from overseas and would take half a day, so the three of them went to Flavor Pavilion for lunch.

At the dining table, Julian sat next to Serena and kept adding dishes to her bowl, not knowing her preferences, so he took a bit of everything.

Soon, Serena’s bowl was piled high like a little mountain.

She smiled helplessly, "Enough, enough, Uncle, you should eat too."

This was the first time Serena felt the care of a relative, so warm that she was slightly overwhelmed.

But happiness and excitement nearly filled her entire heart.

She felt very happy.

Lucas Shaw sat on the other side of Serena, holding vegetables he initially wanted to give her but then hesitated.

Finally, he silently retracted his hand.

Forget it, given his senior status and that he had just recognized Serena back, he would tolerate it this time.

...

When Declan Summers received the news that Grace Summers had been taken out, he rushed back to the Summers Family without stopping.

He didn’t believe it at first, but as soon as he stepped through the front door, he was stunned.

Grace, who should have been locked up in the police station, was now sitting leisurely on the sofa, eating fruit.

Her demeanor was very relaxed.

However, her complexion was much worse than before; her carefully maintained face now looked darker and thinner.

Hearing the footsteps, Grace turned her head in realization.

"Second Brother! You’re back?"

Grace slowly raised a sweet smile. As if all those previous things had never happened, all just a dream of Declan.

As if Grace was still his most beloved sister.

But Declan was very clear that it was not a dream, but reality.

Grace was not his sister, Serena was.

"How did you get out?" Declan asked with a dark face, standing tall in front of the sofa.

Grace laughed softly, her smile becoming even brighter, "Second Brother, did you think I wouldn’t be able to leave once I was in?"

"Second Brother, how cold-hearted you are. Do you know how scared I was inside?"

But although she spoke of fear, her face showed no sign of it.

Declan replied coldly, "If you hadn’t done those stupid things, how would you have ended up there? All of this is just your own fault."

"Didn’t you used to hate Serena before? How come you’ve changed all of a sudden? Is she worth you being so good to her? Have you forgotten how she bullied me before?"

"Nonsense!" Hearing Serena’s name, Declan’s anger flared, "You have no right to mention her name. I know all about the past now, that so-called bullying was nothing but your framing and plotting."

From the beginning to the end, Serena was the most innocent one.

But back then, they all believed Grace’s words, thinking Serena was a vicious woman, and made things difficult for her.

In the end, Serena Summers finally felt cold towards The Summers Family.

Thinking of Serena’s indifferent voice when she answered his call, Declan Summers felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Hearing Declan’s words, Grace Summers suddenly burst into a loud laugh, "Big Brother, from the very beginning I never said that Serena bullied me! Isn’t everything just a figment of your own imaginations? So the fault doesn’t lie with me, the ones who truly hurt Serena are you so-called family members."

Grace’s true colors had been exposed long ago, so there was no need for her to keep up the act any longer.

Looking at Declan’s increasingly pallid face, Grace felt a rush of exhilaration inside her.

She just didn’t want Serena to have a good life.

Why should Serena’s fate be so good?

From her birth, she was cherished by everyone, her mother was the Miss of the Lane Family, and her three brothers were all outstanding.

What about her?

She was just an illegitimate daughter who couldn’t see the light of day.

An illegitimate daughter who couldn’t make it onto the stage, living in the shadows.

She and Serena were only a few days apart in age, yet their destinies were worlds apart.

Both daughters of Henry Summers, yet Serena lived in such a grand villa.

While she and her mother could only squeeze into a tiny rental room.

Everyone knew Serena was The Summers Family’s precious young lady, loved and adored.

But what they didn’t know was that she too was Miss of The Summers Family!

Yet she lived a life worse than that of The Summers Family’s servants.

She was filled with hatred!

Hatred for Serena!

Hatred for The Summers Family!

And even more so for the injustice of fate!

She never considered herself inferior to Serena, but ever since Serena returned, the people around her were stolen away one by one.

Her third brother, her second brother... they had clearly said before that in their lifetimes, the person they would love and treasure the most was only her.

But how long has it passed? In just a few short months, they had changed.

Declan glared at Grace angrily, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles cracked.

"Grace! If it weren’t for your deception, how could we possibly have done that to Serena?"

"That’s why I say you’re foolish, whatever I say, you just believe," Grace shrugged her shoulders, a trace of smugness flashing in her eyes.

Declan’s eyes dropped in disappointment, and he let out a self-mocking laugh, "It’s not stupidity, it’s just that we cared too much about you. Everything you did to Serena, was just because you relied on our favoritism towards you."

Grace was stunned, her lips parted slightly, but in the end, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Declan continued: "We’ve already realized we trusted the wrong person, favored the wrong person, so what’s the problem if we take back our affection for you?"

He gave Grace a deep look, one devoid of any warmth, which suddenly made Grace feel a sense of panic.

As if something intangible had disappeared, her heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of helplessness.

But the current Grace hadn’t yet understood what that emotion was.

Only when the day came that she understood, did she find out everything was already too late.

Declan did not wish to speak another word to her, and he strode towards the stairs leading up.

Upstairs in the master bedroom, Jeanette Lane paced back and forth holding her phone.

Listening to the mechanical busy tone from the phone, she started to panic.

She originally thought that Julian Lane’s willingness to help her was a good start, that she could finally mend her relationship with the Lane Family.

But now, she realized she had thought too much.

Because Julian Lane’s phone was no longer reachable.

Even the phone of his assistant could not get through.

It shouldn’t be like this, how could this be?

Henry had clearly said, since Julian Lane was willing to help Grace, it meant that the Lane Family was not angry with him anymore.
