Chapter 1788

Sometimes Sean would think that she was a bit manipulative, but she was his sister after all, so he let it

slide. Who could have imagined the face on the surveillance footage?

When his biological sister first came back to the family, he thought all sisters were like Serena, all mind

games and clinginess, maybe even relentless. Fresh to high society, she likely felt timid and out of

place.

At that time, he was nursing a serious injury, hanging onto life by a thread, and had no energy to deal

with her or cater to her feelings.

He dreaded a girl's tears - what if she was a crybaby?

As word got around that she was becoming the family's darling, he figured she must be playing a game

more sophisticated than Serena's. Otherwise, how could she have won everyone over so quickly?

Turned out his sis had real skills, a unique charm that captivated everyone. She was nothing like the

"sister" in his head.

Watching Serena, he suddenly realized that Serena was leagues behind. Bella was subtle yet

formidable, wise and resolute, with solid morals and integrity. Serena, on the other hand, was two-

faced, malicious, and morally bankrupt.

"Your real mom humiliated my sister, and now that she's gone, you'll pay her debts."

Perhaps not expecting such ruthless words from Sean, Serena looked stunned and hurt. She was

already down, unable to get up, and here he was, ready to hit her on behalf of Arabella?

Suddenly, her resentment towards Arabella bubbled up again.

"Considering we were once a family, is asking for twenty slaps too much?"

To a stranger, death would be too kind, but considering they lived together for eighteen years, played

siblings for that long.

Sean turned to Betty, "Ever hit someone?"

Betty shook her head in fright.

"Here's your chance. Go on, get some practice," Sean couldn't be bothered to do it himself; he had

grapes to peel for his sister and didn't want to get his hands dirty.

Betty knew how Sean was; if he said to do something, it had to be done.

Trembling, she stepped forward, and although she found Serena's actions despicable, she hesitated to

strike. After all, she had once seen Serena as her boss.

Serena knew she was an outsider to this family. Even after eighteen years, once the truth came out,

past affections meant nothing.

She knew pleading was useless; tears streamed down as she weakly cried out, "Sean."

"What are you waiting for?" Sean’s patience was running thin.

"Forgive me," Betty steeled herself and slapped Serena, the sound echoing through the air.

Serena's cheek reddened from the blow, lying on the floor like a fish on a chopping board, helpless.

"Haven't had your breakfast? Has the Collins family been treating you poorly?" Sean wasn't satisfied

with Betty's strength.

Just then, another voice rang out, "Sean?"

Followed by another, "Sean??"

It was Arabella and Steward, rushing over after hearing from Kenneth that Sean had gone to the

basement to settle scores with Serena.

"Sis, what are you doing here? It's dirty and smells. Go upstairs; I'll peel you some grapes later."

Sean’s doting tone for Arabella only highlighted the sadness in Serena's defeated smile.
