"Thanks a lot," Eunice said, taking the mug with a warm smile.
The aroma of fresh coffee wafted up to her nose, and she could tell it was top-shelf stuff.
She handed the mug to Louisa, just like old times—any time she had something good, she'd
instinctively offer it to her sister first.
Then she got herself another cup.
After taking an elegant sip, Louisa smiled and asked, "How's the taste?"
"Good," Eunice replied.
"I saved these coffee beans just for you, knowing how you and Bard love a good brew," Louisa said.
As she finished speaking, Kenneth chimed in with a cheery grin, "I can vouch for that. I wanted to make
a cup yesterday, but she said we had to wait for you two to enjoy it together."
Laughter filled the room, with Bard and Eunice joining in.
Louisa giggled, "Coffee like this is best enjoyed in good company."
"Absolutely, my dear. Whatever the wife says is the law," Kenneth joked, echoing his old habit of
unconditional support for his wife, which drew more chuckles from everyone around.
After a few more sips, Eunice set down her mug gracefully and asked, "Where's Serena? Still holed up
next door?"
"Yes."
The mention of Serena erased the smile from Louisa's face, and her expression became a mix of
disappointment and sorrow.
"The reason Bard and I came by early was to show you guys something," Eunice said, putting her mug
aside. She pulled out a small remote, a gadget her company had released a while back. With a click, it
could project images, videos, even surveillance footage onto a flat wall or cabinet.
Images of several receipts appeared, and Louisa looked puzzled. What did these mean?
She couldn't make heads or tails of it.
"Did you prepare a bunch of gifts for Serena for her trip to Dawnstar?" Eunice asked, turning to Louisa.
Louisa nodded, her confusion growing, "Yes, didn't you get them?"
"On her way to the airport, she had Erik drop off these items at Martha's place, to be sold off gradually.
All the money went straight into her pocket," Eunice explained.
Louisa and Kenneth's eyes widened. What?
Serena had done that?!
"And the gifts she brought us," Eunice continued, looking at the projected images, "were bought in
Dawnstar, charged to Martin's credit card."
As she spoke, the wall displayed a series of extravagant expenses, "She spared no expense using
someone else’s money—bags worth thousands, jewelry worth millions. She bought everything she
fancied. These are the records of her shopping sprees in Dawnstar, and they match the so-called gifts
she claimed to have brought us."
