Chapter 1410
Florence watched as Serena prepared to leave and quickly asked, “Is that gold card really yours?"
"What's it to you?" Serena replied with a scowl.
"I recognize that card. There's only one in all of Dawnstar, and it's not yours."
Hearing this, Serena gave the lady a second look, her features unfamiliar, then snapped, "None of your business!"
As Florence watched Serena strut away in her heels, she all but confirmed the card didn't belong to her.
Could it really belong to her son?
When did her son start dating this girl? And this girl's so rude and uncultured.
She had to get to the bottom of this.

She wouldn't let anyone of questionable character step foot into the Cooper family home!
The Cooper family was in the midst of turbulent times, and if this girl really was her son's girlfriend, Florence would be the first to
object!
"Pete, start the car, we're heading over to Martin's"
Meanwhile.
After Serena finished her shopping spree, she soon learned that her grandmother's plane had landed at the apron, and the
household staff had all gone to welcher. Serena, not one to miss out, got dolled up and hurried over to cozy up to her.
Arabella had been out running errands that morning and upon her return, she saw Serena clutching her grandmother's hand,
cooing, "Granny, what do you think of this brooch? It symbolizes peace and good fortune. | bought it with the prize money from a
competition, just for you. Do you like it?"
"That brand is my favorite, isn't it? That brooch must have cost a pretty penny. You've won another competition, haven't you?"
Belinda was touched and impressed by Serena's thoughtfulness, not only for her parents and brother but also for remembering her
dear old granny.
"It's from competitions a while back, the prize money added up."
Arabella's lips twitched in skepticism. What competitions could possibly accumulate enough to afford a KCY brooch.
The lies didn't even seem to require preparation.
Just as she was about to enter the house, she heard Serena say, "May, this is for you!"
May was a favored servant by Sampson's side and someone Belinda trusted implicitly, sharp and savvy.
But ever since Serena posted on Facebook, flaunting gifts she'd received, including calligraphy from the master artist Labella.
She'd mentioned everyone who gave her a gift—parents, brother, etc.—except for her own sister, Arabella.
So May didn't think too highly of her.
Serena had accepted Arabella's gift but only seemed interested in showing off its value, not in letting people know the real

"Serena, | appreciate the thought,” May declined gently, "but this bracelet is quite expensive, and I'd be uneasy accepting it. Please
take it back."
"What's wrong? Don't like the style?" Serena knew May was close to Arabella.
Was her refusal a way of taking a stand? Did she only recognize Arabella as her mistress?
The thought made Serena uncomfortable. Could Arabella be bribing May on the side?
“It's not about the style. Madam, you knowbest, please speak for me,"
May implored, turning to the matriarch for support.
Belinda beamed warmly, "You know May's character. If you give her such an expensive gift, she won't be able to sleep at night,
feeling guilty. Put it away.
It's enough that May knows you thought of her"
