"What's wrong?"
Martin had rushed over as soon as he finished his business, and upon seeing Serena clutching her old paintings, sobbing her heart
out, he couldn't help but scold the servants nearby, "Who thought it was a good idea to bring Serena here?"
These things were part of Serena's cherished memories, and he couldn't bear the thought of the Collins family tossing them away
like trash. He didn't want Serena to see them discarded, so he had kept them safe for her.
He had planned to wait until Serena was feeling better before he broke the news to her.
But the servants had brought her here too soon. Wasn't this just rubbing salt in her wounds, making her feel even worse?
"I'm so sorry, sir, we had no idea these things would upset Serena." Dora and June quickly apologized sincerely with regret.
"Everyone, out." Martin didn't want to see them anymore. He knelt gently in front of Serena, tenderly wiping away her tears, at a
loss for words.

Serena gazed at her childhood painting of a sunflower, remembering how Sean had proudly displayed it on his bedroom wall,
treasuring it so dearly.
But now, Sean just abandoned it.
Between sobs, Serena also discovered the gifts she had once given to her grandparents - emerald rings and bracelets, all piled up
here.
"Did they throw these away, too?" Serena's heart ached unbearably. They just disposed of such precious, high-quality jewels
without a second thought.
Had even her grandparents given up on her completely?
In the past, these things were inseparable from her grandparents, who cherished them daily, always wearing them.
But now...
"They auctioned them off, donating all the proceeds to charity, saying they wanted to do something good." Though it pained him,
Martin revealed the truth, "I had someone bid on these for me."
It was inappropriate for him to appear in person.
At the auction two days ago, he had made sure to buy back all these things.
Serena hadn't realized Martin had done so much for her behind the scenes and couldn't help but embrace him.
In the whole wide world, it seemed no one else could love her like he did.
After crying for a while, as if all hope was lost, she finally said resignedly, "Martin, when you have time, helptake all the
identification info and certificate | have at the Collins family."

At this point, she no longer wanted to stay where she was unwelcome.
By leaving on her own terms, she could at least maintain sdignity.
"It's already been done. To be precise, it was Mr. and Mrs. Collins who removed you first."
Serena's eyes widened in disbelief, not knowing about this at all.
"Also, your bank accounts have been frozen. The Collins family said they've given you enough over the years, and that money was
theirs. They're going to leave it to Arabella."
Serena was utterly shocked. She never imagined that all the money from selling her properties, cars, clothes, bags, and more,
painstakingly handled by her and Martha, was now frozen, and eventually, it would all go to Arabella.
Was she now left with nothing?
"But don't worry, you can use my cards. Every d| earn is yours." Martin reassured her.
