"Martin's not here, so you can drop the act." Florence towered over her with an air of superiority, "I want you away from my son. Pack your things and get out of this house." Serena stared back at the woman before her, a sense of familiarity washing over her. It clicked, "You're the lady from Dawnstar." Back then, she hadn't known who the woman was, so she'd been curt and dismissive. And now, fate had a wicked sense of humor - the woman was Martin's mother.

"Since you remember, you should know the Cooper family won't accept someone who is disrespectful, self-centered, malevolent, and two-faced into our family. Take the clothes and jewelry Martin gave you, but from now on, you're forbidden to canywhere near my son!" Florence declared her ultimatum and settled onto the couch with her daughter, waiting for Serena to leave.
Serena's inner fury brought a sardonic smile to her lips, but she kept up a gentle façade, "Dora, would you fetch us stea and pastries?" Dora nodded and was about to step away when Florence interjected, her voice airy and dismissive, "My staff doesn't take orders from you. Dora, two cups of coffee, please. It's tto cool off." "Yes, ma'am," Dora hurriedly bowed and retreated from the explosive situation.

Diana spoke up, her tone flat, "And I saw the whole thow you tormented my brother in the lavender fields." "If you saw everything, then why lie? Your brother clearly enjoyed it. Didn't you see him smiling all day?" Diana was taken aback by Serena's audacity; the latter was unafraid and didn't take them seriously even when confronted by both of them.
"My relationship with Martin is our business, you two don't have to concern, it. And this manor is already in my name. If anyone should feave, it's you," Serena's smile was a blend of sweetness and provocation. Florence and Diana were shocked and enraged. The manor, worth over ten million, was in her name? That fool!! "Since you've call this way, I, as the lady of the manor, can offer you scoffee to calm your nerves, but askingto leave Martin? Sorry, that's not gonna happen." Florence was stunned by the girl's shamelessness and superciliousness.
Diana fumed, "You're not even part of the family yet, and you're already so bold? Do you really think you can marry Martin? Entering the Cooper family isn't just up to him!" "I'm like this, and he's still beggingto marry him. It's quite the predicament. If you have any objections, feel free to discuss them with him. Whether or not I stay is for him to decide." Florence and Diana's rage reached a boiling point. This angelic bitch had the audacity to speak to them like this!
