Chapter 528
Hailey listened and thought her mother had a point.
Winning a design competition hosted by a top master like Daphne would carry as much prestige as any major international jewelry contest!
And after becoming Daphne’s apprentice, she would be showered with glory and attention!
With Daphne’s reputation and her own designs, she would surely become the new star of the jewelry world.
She really shouldn’t let Serena cause her to miss such an opportunity.
For all she knew, Serena was deliberately trying to get under her skin, using this tactic to make her lose Ms. Rainsford’s support and fall back into obscurity!
“Mom, you’re right!” Hailey’s spirits lifted. She looked at the business card in her hand. “This is my chance to become internationally famous! I can’t miss this p>
She caught a glimpse of Patrick and her brothers walking toward them and deliberately said in a sincere, earnest tone, “I’m going to work hard to become Ms. Rainsford’s apprentice. If I can do that, I’ll be able to help Dad and my brother, to lighten their burden p>
“Because Mom and Dad brought me back, my sister took revenge on the Wynn family and made things so miserable… It’s my fault. I’ll do my best to help the Wynn family get back on its feet! To become the most powerful family in Vaelion City again p>
Patrick had just walked over when he heard his biological daughter’s heartfelt words.
He paused for a moment.
A wave of guilt washed over him. His real daughter was so sweet and obedient, so much better than a troublemaker like Serena.
How could he have thought Serena should stay with the Wynn family just because she used her face to hook so many connections?
His own flesh and blood was his own flesh and blood. How could she compare to that ungrateful brat?
Patrick’s heart instantly softened. He strode forward and took Hailey’s hand. “Hailey, don’t worry. Once the Wynn family is back on track, Dad will make sure you live like a princess p>
While the Wynns were having their tender moment, Serena was in the car, talking to Catherine.
“Yeah, I’m going to the hospital to check on Hank, then I’ll be back. Tell Grandpa to go to bed early anditot to wait up for me. Ms. Rainsford will drive me home p>
After the party ended, Serena needed to go to the hospital to check on Hank’s condition.
Her grandfather was getting older and was in the middle of treatment for his legs, so he couldn’t stay up late.
Serena had her family go home first, while she had Daphne drive her to the hospital.
Originally, when he heard she was going to see Hank, Nicholas had shamelessly tried to offer her a ride But since it was Brianna’s coming-of-age party, leaving her to handle all the guests and remaining tasks alone would have been a bit much.
As the host, Nicholas was forcefully pushed back by Serena to stay and help Brianna with the post-party affairs.
Serena exchanged a few more words with Catherine before hanging up.
Daphne, who was driving, let out a soft huff “So the master worries about Old Mr. Blackwood and Ole Mr Lancaster, but not about this fifty-something-year-old lady p>
Serena glanced at her. “Weren’t you the one who insisted on driving me p>
She didn’t have a habit of abusing the elderly.
Daphne was momentarily speechless, then huffed again. “But you didn’t even ask how I was doing p>
Serena looked her up and down. “From the looks of you, you could live another forty years without a problem p>
Daphne’s eyes lit up. “Really? I’ll live that long? I didn’t know I was so healthy p>
Serena looked ahead. “Of course. But if you don’t start paying attention to the road, you might only live until today p>
Daphne fell silent.
