Chapter 765
“I just went to the sanatorium to drop off some things for Mrs. Montrose, and I
overheard her on the phone with the young miss… Oh wait, we’re supposed to call her Miss Serena p>
Most of the maids hired by the Vinton family were Elyndorian.
They naturally conversed in Elyndorian.
“Mrs. Montrose said that from now on, Miss Serena is the undisputed jewel of the Vinton family. Whenever we see her, we must address her with the utmost respect p>
The maid’s voice dripped with envy. “You have no idea how much the old couple adores Miss Serena! Just over a simple phone call, they were beaming, calling her ‘darling’ with every other breath p>
“The moment Miss Serena woke up, Mrs. Montrose practically shoved Mr. Vinton out the door to go to the hotel to serve her p>
“That’s right, serve her p>
“And Mr. Vinton actually rushed over eagerly! I’ve never seen him act like that in my life p>
“I heard Miss Serena already has a fiancé… our future son-in-law p>
“He’s incredibly handsome and attentive. I heard that just to make sure Miss Serena got some proper rest without being disturbed, he rented out the entire top floor of the hotel p>
The other maids clicked their tongues in awe. “It sounds like Miss Serena is incredibly favored p>
“Of course she is! Her status in the Vinton family… it’s off the charts!” a maid who had just returned from outside chimed in. “I heard Mrs. Montrose say they’re preparing an extravagant Gala for her, and invitations have already been sent to The Royal House of Vaelion p>
“The Royal House?!” the other maids gasped. “Then when Miss Serena gets back, we definitely need to put on our best performance for her p>
Every word of their gossip felt like a jagged knife plunging directly into Isabella’s heart.
She bit her lip savagely, desperately controlling her facial expressions to ensure the camera wouldn’t catch anything inappropriate.
She bit down so hard she tasted copper.
She was so furious she felt physically twisted.
She was trapped here, suffering immense pain and humiliation.
While that nobody was out there basking in all the glory!
Why p>
The hotel suite.
Serena had slept deeply.
She really had exhausted herself.
By the time she opened her eyes, the city lights outside the window were already flickering on.
Serena glanced around.
The room was quiet, lit only by a warm yellow floor lamp.
On the nightstand sat an insulated food container, resting on top of a handwritten note.
The handwriting was bold and
elegant, exuding a noble air: [I have
some business to handle at the
l.ne
branch office. I’ll be back the moment it’s done. Have the soup. when you wake up, and we’ll grab
dinner together later p>
Serena smiled faintly. Her slender fingers lightly tapped the note before she folded it neatly and tucked it away.
She got up, washed her face, and carried the container over to the dining table.
When she opened it, a mouth-watering aroma filled the air.
It was her favorite, a rich seafood bisque.
One whiff and she knew the soup had been personally prepared by the Blackwood family’s prized heir.
Given the time p>
If she finished this whole bowl, would she even have room for dinner?
Serena picked up the spoon and began to eat.
As she ate, her phone buzzed.
She tapped the screen. It was a
message from Douglas: [My favorite
niece did you sleep well? Care to
join me for dinner p>
Serena scrolled up.
Douglas had sent several messages, but they were all short check-ins spaced a few
hours apart.
He had clearly been afraid of waking her.
Serena replied: [I’m up p>
A second later, a video call from Douglas popped up.
Serena answered.
Douglas’s handsome face filled the screen, His eyes crinkled with a smile clearly in high spirits. “My favorite niece, are you well rested p>
