Chapter 1365

The brothers wailed in unison, "Darren, we really see the error of our ways!"

Darren looked at them with disdain, their pitiful state laid bare before him. Just moments ago, they had

claimed they'd rather die than utter a word of complaint, and now they clung to life as if it were gold.

“You value your lives, but to you, mine and those of my son and daughter-in-law, my granddaughter are

less than the dirt beneath your feet.”

Having had enough, Darren unleashed his anger with a leather belt, lashing at them until exhaustion

stayed his hand.

"From now on, we go our separate ways. Our bond ends here. You're no longer my brothers! You have

two days

to disappear. Don't let me catch sight of you in Dawnstar or Solterra again!"

The brothers were stunned, hardly believing what they were hearing. Was Darren really cutting ties,

treating them as strangers?

"If there is a next time, I will come for your lives myself. Now get out."

After a moment of bewildered silence, the brothers sobbed with gratitude, thanking Darren before

scrambling out the door.

Finally alone, Darren's tense nerves relaxed, and he nearly collapsed.

Arabella rushed to his side to support him.

Turning to see his perceptive and thoughtful granddaughter, Darren felt a pang of sorrow. All those

years of brotherhood, of pouring out his heart, and yet this newly found girl showed him more warmth

and care than they ever did.

His pride as the family patriarch seemed to melt away, leaving him feeling old and weary. ‘Let's go

home, he said weakly.

“Of course; whispered Arabella, aiding him as they left the hospital room. They passed by two other

rooms, where the aftermath of violence was still evident—bloodied figures on beds and chaos strewn

about the floor.

Back at the estate, Serena paced her room restlessly, glancing at the clock. It was half-past one in the

morning!

Eunice, always played favorites, taking Arabella out and not returning for hours!

She felt disregarded, her eighteen years of being the niece forgotten.

That evening must have introduced Arabella as the true heiress, with everyone fawning over her!

During the introduction, Eunice must have mentioned that Serena had no blood ties to the Collins

family, that she was just an adopted daughter!

The thought made Serena uncomfortable, feeling that her aunt had crossed a line, never considering

her feelings in anything she did.

Especially now, not coming home at this hour.

Perhaps they stayed at the Arlen residence.

And Uncle Bard, what was his rush? Taking Grandpa away without allowing her a moment to catch up.

She had planned to bond with Grandpa while Arabella was away at the birthday party, strengthening

their relationship.

But then it hit her—had Uncle Bard rushed off to join the birthday gathering with Aunt Eunice and

Arabella?

Were they all staying at the Arlen residence, leaving her alone in this big house?

That would be utterly intolerable!
