"Eh, Serena, | didn't really want to tell you this but." Martha paused, sighed, and after a while continued, "Your dad didn't even open the gift you sent. Instead, he's using the one Arabella sent every day." "Did you tell him our gifts could be used together?" Serena's friend had told her about a new foot bath on the market that was very advanced. Although it was expensive, many people were very satisfied with it, which is why she decided to get one for her father.

Martha paused again and sighed, "Serena, I'm not trying to bring you down, but the high- end skincare products you sent the other day... the lady used them to moisturize her hands." Before Serena could respond, Martha lamented, "Those were for her face. How could she use them on her hands? The unlabeled product Arabella sent before, she used it on her face. Look at the comparison.” Hearing this, Serena felt a bit downcast but quickly said, "It's okay. They should use whatever product they find useful. It doesn't have to be the one | bought." As long as her parents received the gifts, whether they used them or liked them, she couldn't force it.
"Serena, you're too kind." Martha started to say some unpleasant things, "The stuff you send me, | can hardly bear to use them.
If it wasn't for the anti-aging cream you sent that's about to expire, | wouldn't have even opened it." "Martha, | know you mean well, don't worry." "Okay, it's getting late, you should also get back to your dorm and rest. I'll remind your parents again tomorrow, sigh.” "No need," Serena said understandingly. "Some things can't be forced. As long as | do my part, the rest will take care of itself." "Mm, okay." After hanging up the phone, Martha suddenly heard Louisa calling her.
"Martha? Martha??" "Yes, ma'am, I'm here. You're still awake?" Martha quickly stuffed her phone into her pocket and hurried out of the kitchen.

Did someone in the house sign for it?" Serena said it should have arrived three days ago, but there was still no news, what was going on? "I'm not sure either. But there were a bunch of deliveries from brands two days ago. | don't know if Serena's package got mixed up with them. Let me check.” Martha had already hidden the package. When she heard Louisa was looking for it, she pretended to find it.
"Here it is! Some servant must have put it in the storage room. Ma'am, do you want to open it now?" "Mm, open it. I'll take it up to Kenneth." Louisa felt relieved. "Serena is becoming more sensible. She sent me a set of skincare products a few days ago. But my skin is sensitive, so | can't use them. | tried them on my hand. The effect was pretty good." "Yes, Serena has always been good. It's a pity, she's not a real Collins.” Martha faked a sigh.
"We can't say that." Louisa said seriously. "In our hearts, she's part of the family. You can't treat her as an outsider." "Ma'am, rest assured, I've always been loyal to Serena." "I know." Louisa took the foot bath and was about to go upstairs. She stopped and said, "Bella and Serena are both my children.
You need to treat them equally.” "Yes, ma'am." Martha didn't agree in her heart, but on the surface, she maintained a respectful demeanor.
Watching Louisa go upstairs, a cold glimmer flashed in Martha's eyes.
