Chapter 1459

"Romeo's here? Have a seat, make yourself at home!" Belinda beamed with warmth, "I caught the

news today. That mess at the Ar-Bl-Clear Group, and you were the first on the scene. You're such a

hero."

Hidden on the second floor, Serena watched as her grandparents fussed over Romeo, bringing him tea

and pastries, clearly over the moon with their grandson-in-law. Serena couldn't help but clench her fist

in frustration.

Was all this really necessary?

Her aunt was so blatantly biased, inviting Romeo over for dinner but not Martin! Was it just because

she thought Martin wasn't graceful enough to sit with them?

With these thoughts swirling, she covertly snapped a photo of the scene and sent it to Martin.

[Seeing this just makes me feel sour. Aunt Belinda invited Romeo for dinner. I wish she'd invite you

too.” Maybe because I'm not a true Collins by blood, they don't pay me much mind, and that's spilling

over to you. Martin, when will we ever get some respect from this family?]

Her message was loaded with implications.

It was as though Eunice didn't value Serena and thought Martin wasn't good enough, intentionally

excluding him.

Martin quickly replied, [It's my fault for not making more money, for not being able to hold my head high

in front of your family. Before I was too proud, too arrogant, thinking that making money by myself

would be enough to provide a good life for you. I see now that was naive. From now on, I'll seize every

Opportunity to give you the life you deserve]

Serena felt a twinge of irritation reading his words. No matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't surpass

Romeo in just a few months.

Still, she pretended to be encouraging, [No, I need to talk to Aunt Belinda about this, and try to get you

invited over for dinner!]

[It's alright, Serena. Your aunt can invite me whenever she finds it appropriate. It doesn't have to be

today.) Martin didn't want her getting into a family squabble over him. After not hearing back from her

for a while, he texted again, [Serena, please don't. Just listen to me.]

Serena left him hanging for a long time.

Eventually, she sent a crying emoji, lamenting, [Aunt Belinda said tonight's dinner is just for Romeo. I

raised some objections, and she snapped back saying she'll invite whoever she wants into her home.]

Martin couldn't help but call her, his voice filled with concern, "It's okay, Serena. The fact that you even

spoke to your aunt about it means so much to me. I'm touched. I'm just not there yet, but I promise I'll

work harder to win their approval. Don't upset yourself"

“Uncle Bard just arrived." Serena whispered as she saw Bard return, greeting Romeo with utmost

civility, "He's praising Romeo, saying how relieved they are to have someone so capable for my sister. I

bet it's because Romeo brought another fancy gift!"

Serena said it with a pout, trying to hint that Martin should step up his gift game next time to outshine

Romeo.

But Martin counseled, "Serena, your uncle's a wise man. He wouldn't heap praise on Romeo just for

some gifts. There must be something about him.

Don't be upset. I assure you, I'll work even harder to gain their respect.

Serena pouted, pretending to be moved, but inwardly she was full of disdain.

Promises for the future, who knew how long that would take.

She quickly found an excuse to hang up and retreated to her spying post on the second floor.

Every so often, Romeo's gaze would drift to Arabella, filled with adoration and affection, and Serena

watched, filled with both envy and jealousy.
