But all the other lines were developed by her company's research and development teams, as she

owned so many companies, she couldn't possibly attend to them all.

"Wow, that's damn impressive.” The crowd erupted in awe, completely taken aback by how outstanding

this girl was at such a young age.

Serena watched as everyone circled Arabella, with Eunice even snapping photos of her with their

grandparents on her smartphone. A twinge of jealousy pinched at her heart, but she kept up her smile,

"Let's take a big family picture later, shall we? I'm going to step outside to capture some shots of the

night view!"

There was another large terrace at the end of the corridor, not only offering a view of Bard's eco-resort

and golf course but also the city lights twinkling in the distance.

After a while, Serena returned, her eyes glued to her phone as she edited the photos, not forgetting to

coax her aunt with a sweet voice, "Do you think this one looks good? Is the lighting okay in that one?"

"You've overdone it with the filters, it looks unnatural," Eunice commented honestly, "This one won't do,

your eyes look too purposeful, the smile seems fake. This one isn't flattering either. Your chin looks too

sharp. This one’s not good either. You're trying too hard to look cute. All these pouting selfies, you're

overdoing it. It's not attractive"

Out of the more than twenty pictures Serena took, Eunice only complimented one landscape shot

capturing the eco-resort and golf course.

At that moment, the restaurant manager came out to serve the dishes personally.

One by one, the mouthwatering dishes were presented on the table, with the restaurant manager

respectfully introducing each one before bowing out.

Arabella started serving the elders with the cutlery, and Serena, keen to follow suit, noticed Arabella

reaching for a piece of fish to place in Belinda's bowl. She quickly intercepted with a larger piece,

placing it in the bowl first.

"Grandma, this is your favorite fish. Have some more,’ Serena said purposefully, stealing the words

right out of Arabella's mouth. As Arabella reached for the beef, Serena hurriedly did the same.

After her little display, she suggested, "Let's all raise a toast! First, to celebrate our grandparents’

health, second, to welcome Aunt Eunice home safely, and third, to celebrate my sister's return to the

family"

Seeing Serena finally acting sensibly, Eunice joined in, lifting her glass, "Shall we all clink glasses?"

Arabella raised her glass of lemon water to join the toast, but just as she was about to sip, she noticed

something off about the floaters.

Though there were fine bits of lemon pulp, a closer look revealed tiny specks of powder floating and

slowly dissolving in the water.

She was a regular lemon water drinker, so even the slightest difference didn't escape her notice.

She sniffed, catching the usual scent of lemon water. Could the person who spiked her drink have used

something colorless and tasteless?

Everyone else had already downed their lemon water, but Arabella noticed no powder floating in their

glasses.

"Bella, why aren't you drinking? Lemon water is so refreshing, especially after eating too much meat."

Serena's voice brought Arabella back from her thoughts.

"I was just thinking. does my sudden return to the family unsettle you?"

Caught off quard by Arabella's unexpected question, Serena stumbled for a moment before laughing,

"Why would it? This has always been your home.

I'm just grateful you're letting me stay"

"And if the family started treating me twice as well, compensating me, giving me more than they give

you, you wouldn't mind?"

"Of—of course not.” Serena was baffled by Arabella's comments. Could Arabella have sensed

something was amiss?

No, it couldn't be. Martha had assured her the drug was colorless and tasteless, dissolving completely

in water in less than a minute.
