Chapter 1474

Eunice's smile was gentle and beautiful as she spoke, "I’ve cherished you for eighteen years, honey.

You wouldn't leave without even saying a word to me, would you?"

"What exactly are you trying to say, Aunt Eunice?"

"I know you're still a kid at heart, love. There are some things you might not know how to handle, so I

thought maybe I could help you."

"You still suspect that I had something to do with what happened last night, don't you?" Serena lifted

her gaze, a touch of hurt in her eyes as she bit her lower lip, asking sadly, "Am I right?"

"Is this incident related to you in any way?"

Tears began to stream down Serena's face, her eyes filled with an unbearable sense of injustice. She

seemed to be holding back her emotions, but the sense of being wronged made her reveal a hint of

resentment.

"Why do you have to think so poorly of me, Aunt Eunice? If my sister had never come back to this

family, if there had never been any mix-up, would you still think of me this way?"

Looking into Eunice's eyes with profound sadness, Serena asked, "If I were still your biological niece, if

I still shared blood with this family, if I were still the same old Serena I've always been, would you still

believe that I was capable of such a thing?"

Eunice remained silent; her beautiful eyes gave nothing away.

"Just because I'm not the flesh and blood of this family, you think you can throw any accusation at me.

If one day it turns out that I have nothing to do with this, will you feel even the slightest bit of guilt for

how you've treated me today?"

Eunice's gaze fell upon her, but she still said nothing.

Serena laughed, though her smile was laced with bitterness and sorrow, "I know you won't. Because in

your eyes, I'm no longer your dear niece. Now you have my sister, who is more capable and impressive

than I am. The less she speaks, the more you all think she's better than me. Isn't that right?"

"Serena."

Eunice seemed like someone who had weathered great storms; the slight turbulence before her did

nothing to disturb the calm composure of her smile and gaze.

"You might have forgotten, but I’ve only just returned to this family. After what I've been through, I look

at everyone with fresh eyes, not like your grandparents, whose image of you is frozen in the past. A

person who lived under the identity of her sister for eighteen years, fighting over simple things like a

breakfast burrito or a cheesy omelette, completely disregarding the hardships she endured all these

years; A person who deliberately hid her sister's true identity, allowing her boyfriend to believe her

'fiancé' was seduced by her sister."

"A person who doesn't even care when her own boyfriend is hurt, not sparing him a single look of

concern. Someone who, even when drunk, can't stop thinking about her brother-in-law. Do you think I

can look at her with the same eyes as before?"

Serena looked up, her emotions complex as she faced the woman before her.

"I watched you grow up, thinking I knew you. But it turns out I didn't know you at all; you've become a

stranger to me. Since we've come this far, I will ask you straight. Did you do it? Did you kill him?"

Serena closed her eyes in despair, letting the tears fall freely before finally replying, "No, I didn't."

Before Eunice could respond, Serena continued, "No matter if you're straightforward or beating around

the bush with your questions, the answer is no. I won't admit to something I didn't do. How he died has

nothing to do with me, and if you're only here to talk about that, then there's nothing left for us to

discuss."

Eunice looked into her eyes and simply said, "Alright, then we won't discuss it."

Serena was taken aback, looking at her aunt with a mix of surprise and confusion.
