Seraphina looked coldly at Chloe. This is my mother. In her mother's eyes, Linara was the perfect daughter. Her mother would always find thousands of excuses for Linara even if her ugly, dark side were exposed. No matter what Linara said, her mother always believed her words. In Chloe's eyes, Linara was a well-educated, noble, and elegant lady. And Seraphina? She would be criticized as long as she made the slightest mistake In Chloe's eyes, Seraphina was just a coarse, uncultured, rude thug. Scenery like this happened countless times over the past eight years. From the initial sadness and hurt to jealousy and anger, it all eventually turned into hatred. Anger and hatred made her lose herself and led her down a path of no return. She began to target Linara, taking everything that belonged to her. People around her looked at her as if she was crazy. They only saw Linara's grievances and difficulties within the Whitewood Family, but no one noticed those things originally belonged to her. She was just returning them to their rightful owner. Maybe Linara's fragility and kindness were too enchanting, making all the men around Seraphina fall for her. Her adoptive brother liked her, her nominal fiance liked her, and even her cousin, who was like a brother, secretly loved her. Linara's life was like a heroine in a novel. She had countless men who would sacrifice everything for her without her doing anything. And Seraphina? She was like the villainous supporting character in a novel, not only taking away her identity as the young lady but also taking away the happiness that should have belonged to her, constantly bullying her maliciously. Looking back, it was really laughable. The one who usurped the nest could garner everyone's sympathy and pity after losing everything. Yet, as the true victim, she faced everyone's jealousy, envy, contempt, and disapproval. Shouldn't I be the one who deserved sympathy? For sixteen years, Seraphina endured the hardships and sufferings meant for Linara. I'm just taking back what belongs to me. What's wrong with that? Perhaps the mistake was that she shouldn't have returned. She shouldn't have taken back what was rightfully hers. She should have been willing to let Linara continue to enjoy it. Chloe turned to Seraphina. "Linara meant well. You didn't appreciate it, and now you're sowing discord. This bad habit will not be tolerated in our family." See, it's clearly Linara's fault, but in the end, it's turned against me. Isn't it laughable? Her heart, which had been scarred in her past life, no longer felt the emotion of sadness. Seraphina looked calmly at her biological mother, enduring her distorted accusations. "Enough." Oberon rebuked, taking a card from his bag and handing it to her. "Buy whatever clothes you like." Oberon glanced at Linara and spoke to Seraphina in a rare, gentle tone. "The daughter of the Whitewood Family doesn't need to wear clothes that others have worn. Don't worry about saving money for me; buy whatever you want." Seraphina accepted the card. Oberon and his secretary quickly left.Only the three women were left in the room, staring at each other, while the housekeeper and others stayed far away. Seraphina waved the bank card in her hand and smiled at the mother and daughter. "I'm going shopping. You can go to the party by yourself. Have fun." Her smile was like an invisible slap, harshly striking her face, causing a stinging pain.
