Chapter 234
Isabella couldn’t believe it.
How could someone like Serena command such respect from Old Mr. Blackwood?
Was it just because she was the true heiress of the Lancaster family p>
Didn’t he know Serena was a country girl, a high school dropout?
She was good for nothing!
Aside from her status as the Lancaster heiress, she could offer Nicholas no help at all. She would only bring him shame and make him a laughingstock!
“Isabella, what’s wrong?” Karen asked, noticing her expression and tugging on her
arm.
Isabella’s long lashes trembled, and a single tear rolled down her cheek. “Old Mr. Blackwood’s distinguished guest… it’s… it’s her… It’s Serena p>
“That’s Serena?!” Karen squinted, her eyes fixed on the girl in the plain white t-shirt and pants, who wasn’t even wearing makeup. Her brow furrowed deeply. “That’s the wild girl from the country p>
She already had a poor impression of Serena, and seeing her now, her disgust was palpable. “A country girl is a country girl. She has no manners at all! How dare she come to the Blackwood estate dressed like that p>
But seeing Serena’s simple, almost casual attire juxtaposed with the grand welcome personally led by Old Mr. Blackwood made Isabella’s own meticulously planned, elegant outfit feel like a bitter joke.
Isabella’s eyes reddened as she watched Old Mr. Blackwood proactively take Serena’s hand.
The genuine affection and warmth overflowed from the corners of his eyes and the lines of his smile.
And then there was her p>
She couldn’t even get a meeting with him. She couldn’t even deliver the priceless soup made with EverVita Essence into his hands.
She and Serena… were a study in stark contrast.
Isabella was so upset she was on the verge of tears.
Old Mr. Blackwood, whom she had considered her last trump card, had also sided with Serena p>
What was she supposed to do now p>
“Isabella, come on, we’re going over there!” Karen said, seeing Isabella’s devastated, tearful expression. She grabbed her arm to pull her along.
Isabella fought back tears, her voice choked with emotion. “Forget it, Karen… I can’t compete with Serena. Old Mr. Blackwood.seems. so fond of her don’t stand a Chance
“That’s because Grandfather doesn’t know what that bitch is really like!” How could Karen just give up on everything she had schemed for over the years?
She had helped Isabella for so long, counting on her to marry Nicholas to secure her own smooth sailing within the Blackwood family!
If Isabella gave up p>
Wouldn’t all her efforts have been for nothing?
Karen dragged her forward. “Are you
just going to stand by and watch that bitch gloat? If we leave with our tails between our legs, then… you’ll be under her feel for the rest of your lifer
Isabella let herself be pulled along.
Over by the entrance, Old Mr. Blackwood led Serena into the main hall, his eyes still fixed on her.
Serena remained perfectly calm, and when she met his gaze, she would offer a slight smile.
She was poised, steady, and serene.
Old Mr. Blackwood was thoroughly pleased. He said with a broad smile,
“Serena, heard that being by a net
Brianna’s life was hanging by a
thread after her car accident,
you who intervened in time to save. her! And later when Brianna had a annahaga heart attack, you rushed to the hospital to save her again, allowing her to be discharged so quickly… I really must thank you in person p>
For such a young girl to possess such incredible medical skill.
