Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 513

"I’m alright."

Serena forced herself to steady her emotions, quickly shooting a message to Martha.

(Martha, are you certain? Did David really give the concert tickets to Rosemary?)

(I was right there when your mom called, no doubt about it! Not only did David give Rosemary the ticket, he gave her the best seats!)

Perhaps sensing Serena’s heartache, Martha couldn’t help but express her outrage.

(David’s being totally out of line. He tells you there are no tickets left and then just turns around and hands them to his own little sister. He’s not considering your feelings at all!)

The term "little sister" pierced Serena’s heart like a dagger.

She couldn’t believe that David, who had been so gentle on the phone just moments ago, had lied to her!

(You mentioned earlier that Hunter already has a date for the charity dinner next week. It’s not Rosemary, is it?) Martha messaged again.

Serena hesitated. It couldn’t be.

(Serena, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Rosemary’s status in their eyes seems to be getting higher and higher while you are becoming less and less important.)

Unable to keep her emotions in check, Serena excused herself to the restroom, leaving her friends in a state of confusion.

"Is Serena on her period?"

"I guess so. She’s gone pale. Let’s wait for her here."

"To be honest, I think that Rosemary at Westerly College plays the violin like a true virtuoso. It’s just mesmerizing!"

"Me too. The moment her music started playing, I was completely blown away. She’s better than my private tutor!"

"Hush, keep your voices down. Do you want Serena to hear? We still need her to get close to her brothers!"

Everyone made a shushing gesture before starting to whisper again.

"If you become her sister-in-law, and I become her sister-in-law, we could hang out often! Just like now."

"Look, Alma is heading to the restroom. Do you think she’s going to make trouble for Serena?"

"Should we go help Serena?"

One of the girls with curly hair wanted to help but was held back by her friends.

"Don’t! You forgot about the time Serena mentioned that Alma beat her up on the staircase at the hospital when they were visiting their grandmother?

We’re not strong enough to be of any help. What if we end up with bruised faces? How would we face people?"

"Exactly. What if we have to dine with Hunter next, with a bruised face?"

"I have to attend David’s concert, and I can’t show up looking like that."

Even though they knew Alma would most likely cause trouble for Serena, the group of girls didn’t dare to intervene. They even wandered off to a further location, feigning ignorance.

As soon as Alma entered the restroom, she could hear Serena’s anxious voice on the phone, even sounding a little tearful.

"How did it come to this? Why?" Serena was close to tears, but upon catching sight of Alma in the mirror, she gripped her phone tighter. She had no idea how long the sly Alma had been eavesdropping, but she quickly ended the call.

With her arms crossed over her chest, Alma watched Serena’s flustered and angry state with an air of nonchalance.

"Perhaps you should call Martha and let her give you some advice?" Alma sneered, stepping further into the room. She pulled a tube of lipstick from her bag, freshening up her lips in the mirror.

"A foolish servant can hardly come up with any good advice!"

"You’re talking as if you’re some hotshot. Didn’t you still lose to Rosemary? I don’t know why a defeated player like you dares to show off in front of me!" It was clear Serena looked down on her.

Alma smirked, her lips cold and beautiful.

"Rosemary’s violin and chess skills are indeed better than mine. I heartily admit defeat to her. But you, after years of violin lessons, can’t even play decently."

Serena clenched her fists, her eyes darting to the lipstick in Alma’s hand, a limited edition from Louis Vuitton. The diamond necklace around her neck was a new design from VW Fashion. Even her dress and the heels she wore were all limited editions!

She had never seen them before!

Where did she get all the money to buy these?!

Suddenly, Serena remembered her aunt and uncle, including Alma and her sister, always appearing in expensive attire.

Even her parents didn’t live as lavishly.

It seemed like their money was inexhaustible.

Seeing Serena staring at the lipstick in a daze, Alma coldly scoffed.

"An adopted daughter is always an adopted daughter. Your attire is getting more and more modest. What, the Collins family can’t afford to buy you decent clothes now?"

Furious, Serena gripped her purse tighter, swinging the chain towards Alma’s back.

Alma quickly dodged, pushing Serena’s head into the sink.

The faucet sensed a presence, and water gushed out, soaking Serena’s hair and face.

She struggled, but Alma held her head down firmly.

"Let me wash your hair to strengthen our bond."

Unable to get up, Serena stepped back in anger, driving the heel of her shoe into Alma’s foot.

The pain made Alma let go. Serena scooped up water from the sink and splashed it onto Alma.

"Bitch, I’ll fight you!"

Serena was furious. She grabbed her purse again, lashing out at Alma with the bag’s chain.

Alma flinched from the pain, grabbed a nearby trash can, and dumped its contents onto Serena.

Though Serena instinctively dodged and blocked with her hands, the dirty contents still stained her dress.

"Ugh." Serena felt nauseous.

Seeing how dirty she was, Alma also found her disgusting and quickly kept her distance. freewēbnoveℓ.com

After delivering her final words, Alma turned and left.

Serena was livid, but the stench from the trash made her retch. She was driven to madness, vowing to make Alma pay one day when she caught sight of her disheveled reflection.

She whipped out her phone, calling her friend.

"Send me a dress, any dress, immediately!"

She felt a twinge of anger. How could her friends have missed Alma, a fully grown woman, entering the restroom?
