Chapter 1327

What on Earth was going on here?

"Hey, are you okay?" The clerk, seeing she was a girl and probably not up to no good, picked up the

dropped cellphone and handed it over. "Is this yours? How'd you end up in a sack? You should head

home quick, alright."

Serena didn't know how long she'd been out of it until the clerk left and her phone started ringing again.

That was when she finally snapped out of it and saw ‘Uncle Bard" flashing on the screen, but she

couldn't bring herself to answer.

Sitting in his car, Bard had called Serena three times with no answer, and he was starting to worry.

“Could something have happened?° "You said she called you for help, mentioning she was being

bullied?" Eunice asked.

"Yeah, Bard replied, worried his niece might be in danger. He was about to get someone to check on

her when his phone rang.

It was Serena!

Trying to muster strength, Serena stood up against the wall, forcing a smile, and said with a light laugh,

“Uncle Bard, you don't need to come get me. My boyfriend just came by and he's taken me back to the

hotel safely. I've just finished taking a shower.

Bard, relieved yet surprised, said, "Since when do you have a boyfriend?"

"It's a long story." Serena teased sweetly, avoiding a lengthy explanation, "I'll tell you all about it when

we meet tomorrow."

“You mentioned on the phone that you were bullied? What exactly happened? Did you have a fight with

your boyfriend?” Bard asked with concern.

"No, it's not that." Serena didn't want to tarnish Martin's image, especially since he was already no

Romeo. To speak ill of him now would only make him seem worse.

She lied, “My boyfriend's been tied up with work in Dawnstar, busy for a long time. He said he missed

me, couldn't get away, and wanted me to come see him."

Serena could feel pain all over, but she endured it, standing and smiling, “I thought, it's been a long

time since I've seen Grandpa and you, especially since I heard Aunt Eunice is back. I couldn't contain

my excitement, wanting to visit you all. I planned to stay at a hotel tonight and come see you tomorrow,

but I didn't expect that as soon as I got to Dawnstar, while waiting for my boyfriend on the street, some

thugs started harassing me."

Bard frowned slightly, "Thugs? What did they do to you? Can you remember what they looked like?"

Serena was afraid Bard would check the surveillance footage and find out that she wasn't harassed by

thugs but was, in fact, the one who got into a scuffle with Arabella and ended up in a sack, taking a

beating.

So she lied again, “It wasn't much, they just whistled at me and said a few rude things. I’ve never

encountered such people before, so I got scared. Maybe they got bored when they saw me crying and

left."

Bard seemed unconvinced, “Nothing else happened?"

"Nothing. Uncle Bard, don't worry. I've adjusted my attitude. Please don't tell my parents about this. I'm

eighteen now. I should start facing this complex world. If you tell them secretly, they won't let me go out

alone next time."

Bard relaxed, not pressing further, "Alright, as long as you're okay, I promise I won't tell."

Serena felt a lump in her throat and a sudden urge to cry.

“Which hotel are you staying at? Send me the address, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow,

Bard offered.

Serena hadn't actually settled on a hotel yet and chuckled, "No need, Uncle Bard, I want to spend

some more time alone with my boyfriend. I don't know when I'll be free to visit you. Don't bother coming

to get me; my boyfriend will arrange that."

"Then get some rest. Now that I know you're safe, I can relax. If you need anything, just call me,’ Bard

said warmly. "I'm glad you thought to call me. Will you reach out next time you're in trouble?"

“Of course,’ Serena's voice wavered, and she sniffled, “Well, Uncle Bard, you and Aunt Eunice should

get some sleep too."

“Alright; Bard said, finally at ease and hanging up the phone, content that she was safe.
