Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 613

"Absolutely not!" Martha sympathized. "Have you forgotten? Last time, you were fooled by just a few words from Hunter. You naively thought they would treat everyone equally. If Hunter really saw you as his sister, he wouldn’t have warned you like that—let alone lock you up like he did today."

Serena let out a sorrowful laugh. If anyone knew that she had been locked in her room by Hunter for self-reflection...

The word would spread, and it would be so humiliating.

"Last time, I told you to take advantage of their affection for you. Either kick Rosemary out of the Collins family, strive for the maximum benefits within the family, or marry Mr. McMillian and become the most glamorous woman in the world. But you chose none of these paths. Instead, you came up with the most useless one—to build a good relationship with Rosemary and please everyone in the Collins family."

Only now did Serena realize how foolish she had been, thinking she could be real sisters with Rosemary.

"If I had listened to you earlier, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. I was the one who couldn’t let go, always holding onto a shred of illusion, always feeling that Hunter and the others could really be impartial."

"Ah, if they were truly fair, before Hunter asked you to talk on the terrace, they wouldn’t have planted her favorite flowers on Rose’s balcony."

That was not something Hunter would do!

If he was really fair, why did Rosemary have flowers, and Serena didn’t?

Everything that he had given Rosemary—like planting flowers, gifting a four-leaf clover necklace—were things that Serena had never owned.

Serena didn’t know how long she had been crying. For the first time, she realized that her tears seemed endless.

Her heart was truly broken, and she was in despair.

"You can tell she was raised in a small family, inexperienced in the world. Even after returning to the richest family, her poor taste has not changed! Every time I see the marigold flowers swaying in the wind on her balcony, I feel that she lacks refinement, is superficial, and cannot hold her own in society! Her taste has brought down the standard of the Collins family’s prestigious garden!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Serena thought the same. Out of all the flowers, why did she have to like marigolds—such a common plant?

After Serena calmed down a bit, Martha gave her some advice.

"Serena, there are many online platforms that buy luxury goods at high prices. You have a whole closet full of clothes, shoes, and bags—many of them still with tags. I calculated it, and you could sell them for at least a million dollars."

Some of the dresses worth tens of thousands of dollars, Serena wore only once.

Some of the limited edition handbags—worth eighty or so thousand dollars—Serena carried once and then let them gather dust in her closet.

"If you really marry Mr. Cooper in the future, and have a chauffeur to drive you around, there’s no point in keeping all those luxury cars. You might as well sell them all."

If she sold all of them, she could get one or two million dollars. And that was just from the cars!

"And all the jewelry you’ve received since you were young..."

That was worth a lot.

Just the pink sapphire necklace she received on her birth year was now worth over two hundred thousand dollars.

If she kept a few pieces of jewelry as her dowry and sold the rest, she could easily make a few million dollars.

"My initial estimate is that if you sell everything, you could make around six million dollars."

Serena was surprised that Martha knew her assets better than she did. She had never paid attention to how much these things were worth.

"Serena, not to rain on your parade, but if Hunter is capable of doing this, who knows if he might kick you out someday? Instead of leaving penniless, it might be better to start selling some stuff now."

She had at least sixty million dollars in the bank, plus her real estate like houses and stores. Her personal assets could easily surpass a hundred million dollars.

"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If Hunter forgives you and you stay in this family until the day you marry Mr. Cooper, you can earn more. Your parents once mentioned that your wedding gift would be more than Brooklyn’s sister. If it reaches around a hundred million, your net worth would jump to two hundred million!"

How many heiresses could boast of such fortune?

"And if Mr. Cooper gives you more money and shares as a wedding gift, imagine the wealth you’d amass."

It was unimaginable!

Hearing Martha’s words, Serena’s tears welled up in her eyes, forgotten to fall.

She had never realized her assets could amount to so much.

"So the goal now is to find a way to stay in the Collins family, keeping your parents happy and willing to spend money on you. Later, we can sell these things—every penny counts."

Serena used to think Martha’s idea was wrong, as these were heartfelt gifts from her family. But after Hunter’s coldness, she finally nodded.

"After this storm passes, you can help me handle this. But be cautious."

"Serena, don’t worry! Leave it all to me. Act as if you don’t know anything. If we get caught, I’ll take the fall," Martha spoke, looking at her with a hint of pity. "But for now, you’ll have to swallow your pride. I know you’ve never had to do this."

Serena’s eyes reddened, and her nose stung.

"If they are heartless, they can’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Swallowing her pride was only temporary.

Even if she had to leave, she would take all the benefits—and ruin Rosemary first!

Martha was overjoyed seeing Serena’s change of heart, but she kept her excitement concealed.

"They treasure Rosemary because she’s talented and their own daughter. In the end, it’s all Rosemary’s fault. If she had spoken up for you when Hunter was blaming you, things could have been different."

Serena chuckled coldly. Rosemary standing up for her? It would be a miracle if she didn’t add insult to injury!

Martha was right. It was all Rosemary’s fault. If Rosemary was more amicable, they could at least be sisters.

Even ordinary sisterhood would be better than being enemies!

"Hunter will be traveling abroad soon. The Temple family lost a child, and your parents will be visiting there often.

The opportunity to deal with that brat is coming."

Did the Collins family think Rosemary was so great?

If they could find out that Rosemary also had flaws, or irreparable stains...

"But if something happens to Rosemary, Hunter will suspect us first."

If those luxury goods hadn’t been sold yet, and Hunter kicked her out...

"We’re not trying to kill her, just teach her a lesson. I’ll find someone to do it seamlessly. Without evidence, Hunter can’t blame us, can he?"
