Chapter 255 - I thought it was your head

Hearing another dropped bomb, George Yue is now completely speechless. What he did on the party a few days ago were all confidential and it was all his doing -- none knew about it except the people he bribed to execute his plan. Whether he wanted to humiliate Seraphina in front of Liam Jin when the drug kicked in or, the bounty on her head that he assumed the root cause of the ruckus after her party -- George Yue was really trying to crash Seraphina either way.

However, after Seraphina's disappearance, he thought that she was dead and was only waiting for her body to resurface to god knows where. But, when the news about Seraphina being sighted going back to the Yue family mansion -- he felt troubled and unease.

After all, how can she survive unscathed after having a mark on her head? Moreover, the price on her head is a very tempting sum -- that George Yue was certain that felons in the underworld would come fawning on her just to receive the award money.

"Huh? Come on, George -- spill the beans. You don't like to end up just like the owner of this blood." referring the blood smeared on her clothes and hand, Seraphina poured herself another glass of wine and spats her warning without casting a glance on George Yue.

George Yue gritted his teeth as he could feel that he was being cornered without an opportunity to escape. Alas, despite that Seraphina knew his about his vicious deeds and his attempts of silencing her, he will never, ever confess. Hence, he attempted to turn the table and spite Seraphina's unreasonable words.

"What do you want, Sera? Why are you doing this and saying all these lies?"

"Lies? I am indeed a liar. But in this house, my words are the truth -- nothing but the truth." with full of confidence, she slowly utters her words as if engraving it to George Yue's mind.

Drinking another glass of wine, Seraphina finally turned her devoid of emotion eyes to George Yue. Just with her stare, George Yue felt a cold spirit c_a_r_e_s_sing his back -- causing him to slightly shudders to an unknown degree of fear he hadn't felt before.

"Say, Uncle, what did I do to you to hate me to this extent? I deliberately turn a blind eye on your deeds and gave up my shares on my Gramps company that he built through the years -- but, why do you hate me?" Seraphina questioned with her poker face.

Indeed, one of the reasons why Seraphina chose to study abroad isn't because she solely wanted to venture the world, but also to give Marga the attention she wants. After all, Seraphina treated Marga as her own sister but, through the years, Marga changed -- though she doesn't show it on the surface, Seraphina felt that slowly growing distance between them.

Up until on their teenage years, Marga was still keeping her gentle front and kind pieces of advice on the surface but whenever Seraphina turns her back on her, Marga would spite her and hates her even more.

Seraphina was hurt by these unanswered questions. She didn't knew the reason on the hate she was receiving by these people that should be her second family. Hence, one time, Seraphina decided to wonder at the Yue family mansion ground at night.

To her surprise, Marga was being punished at that late hour by her father George Yue. Seraphina eavesdrops for a while and heard a couple of things before deciding to leave the father and daughter duo.

Seraphina finally realizes the reason why Marga turned into another person -- it's because they were anxious about not being the real kin of Sebastian Yue. They knew the difference of how Sebastian Yue treats Seraphina and Marga, alas, they didn't also understand that Sebastian Yue's good intention.

Since then, Seraphina tries her best to give all the spotlight to Marga -- deliberately letting Marga get better grades than her, all the merits that supposed to be hers and even to the point of going abroad -- hoping that the sister she misses the most will be back.

Unbeknownst to Seraphina, her good intention will also lead her to a devastating life she had now. Yet, even though she sacrifices a lot of things for them -- for this ungrateful family, Seraphina cannot take the fact that George Yue would bite her grandfather and usurped all his company shares -- s_u_c_k_i_n_g him dry and making them homeless.

That's what happened in her previous life. George Yue inherited all the wealth of the Yue family and left them just like that -- despite that Sebastian Yue was ill. Leaving them by the hands of her enemy.

Just reminiscing about it -- Seraphina could feel her blood starts to boil and without knowing it, her grip on the wine glass tightens -- shattering it by her hand. Sensing that her hands were drenched and blood starts to drip along with the same hue of the wine, Seraphina was snapped back to reality.

"Ooops, Sorry, my bad. I thought it was your head."
