Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 148

"How can a young person go to bed so early?" Louisa suddenly understood. No wonder Rose sounded a bit off when she called this morning. Did Brooklyn give her

trouble?

Did the designer from the Reed family also join the design competition today?

Thinking about it, Kenneth asked a bit angrily, "Is this injury on your hand related to her? If it is, I’ll make the Reed family explain!"

"This has nothing to do with others." Rosemary said, looking at Serena, "Aren’t you going to make a phone call?"

Serena had to reluctantly take out her phone. If she made the call, wouldn’t all the lies be exposed?

How could she live with herself after that?

"Ms. Rose, Serena has always treated you like her own sister. You misunderstood–her" Martha said, pretending to be heartbroken,

"In Serena’s heart, you hold the highest place. How could she possibly badmouth you, hurt your feelings, and destroy this precious sisterhood?"

Rosemary was annoyed. So all of this was her fault? Serena was innocent?

"Martha." Louisa reached out to stop her from continuing: "I know very well what kind of person Serena is, but Rose isn’t someone who talks nonsense and creates trouble for no reason. Brooklyn is someone, I’ve watched grow up since she was a kid. Even though she’s a bit spoiled, she wouldn’t be so unreasonable."

Hearing this, Martha and Serena felt a sense of unease.

"If Brooklyn knew that Rose was my biological daughter and her engagement with Romeo was justified, and they both really liked each other. If she knew Serena’s status, she wouldn’t easily give Rose trouble."

There were only two possibilities. One was that she didn’t know Serena was adopted, and the other was that she didn’t know Rose’s real identity.

So, did Serena not tell her, or did she deliberately hide it from her, misleading her? This was important.

"If that girl from the Reed family thought that Rose stole Serena’s fiancée, then what would Rose become?"

A shameless person who destroyed other people’s relationships? A scheming girl?

"That’s a serious issue. If it’s your friend who misunderstood, you should call her and explain everything". Louisa said,

With tears in her eyes, Serena said in a pitiful voice, "Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll call Brooklyn right now."

"Put it on speaker; I want to hear what she has to say."

"Madam?" Martha looked surprised. "Don’t you trust Serena? You weren’t like this before Ms. Rose came home."

Tears streamed down Serena’s face. She felt wronged.

"Rose suffered for eighteen years outside. Since the moment she stepped into this house, I have made a vow in my heart that from now on, I will protect her and not

let her get hurt!"

Louisa looked at Martha and said, "Our whole family has regarded Serena as our own child for the last eighteen years. Even after Rose came back, our care and concern for Serena haven’t lessened! We’re just showing a little more concern for Rose now! Is that wrong?"

Seeing this, Martha immediately changed her attitude and hurriedly said, "Madam, you misunderstood; of course it’s right."

"Now that I know about this, I can’t let my biological daughter be subject to all these rumors! I must find out what’s really going on. Go make the call, call Brooklyn"

The truth would soon come out.

Serena knew she couldn’t avoid it. With tears streaming down her face, she dialed Brooklyn’s alternate number.

Buzz Buzz. Buzz.

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered on the other end.

Serena breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Brooklyn had two phones and two numbers.

"Brooklyn’s probably asleep by now; it’s okay; I’ll try again."

Serena knew that Brooklyn seldom used this number, so she was confident when she dialed again..

As expected, nobody answered the call.

"Brooklyn must be sleeping." Martha breathed a sigh of relief in her mind, relieved that Brooklyn didn’t answer the call, or else Serena’s cover would be blown!

Louisa glanced at the clock. It was only ten o’clock at night; it was unlikely for a young lad to go to bed so early.

"Try leaving her a Voicemail."

Hearing Louisa’s suggestion, Serena was stunned. Voicemail??

Although Brooklyn had two mobile numbers, she only had one WhatsApp account. If she called now, wouldn’t she be asking for trouble?

"I think I have Brooklyn’s WhatsApp." Louisa suddenly remembered, took out her phone, and started looking for Brooklyn’s WhatsApp.

Serena was frightened. If Louisa contacted Brooklyn directly, it would be better for her to make the call!

"Mom, let me make the call." Serena hurriedly said, "I can handle this small matter on my own."

She plucked up the courage to make a voicemail call, and within a few seconds, Brooklyn answered.

"Serena? Haven’t you gone to bed yet?" Brooklyn’s cheerful voice came from the other end.

"Brooklyn, did you cause trouble for my sister today?"

Serena didn’t wait for her to answer but blurted out, "I know you mean well, but my sister and Romeo are truly in love! Please stop bothering my sister, she misunderstood everything. I have to go explain everything to her now, so don’t cause any more trouble."

Upon saying this, Serena quickly hung up the phone.

Brooklyn was stunned. What was going on? Why did Serena suddenly call and say all this? Did Rosemary cause trouble for Serena?

Serena wouldn’t sit back and let her sister bully her like this.

She’s just a little assistant; what’s there to be afraid of?

Brooklyn subconsciously touched her own neck, recalling how Rosemary had hit her at the competition today.

Serena must have been threatened, hence the unexpected call.

The WhatsApp message she sent to Serena today also went unanswered.

Thinking about this, Brooklyn dialed again, worried about Serena’s safety.

After Serena hung up the voicemail, she turned off her phone.

Unable to get through, Brooklyn could only leave a message asking about the situation.

Seeing no response from Serena, she grew even more worried.

Serena lifted her tearful eyes and said pitifully, "Sister, don’t worry, I won’t snatch your husband from you. His heart and eyes only see you. It’s pointless even if I

wanted to."

Before Rosemary could say anything, Serena had already stood up, sadly saying, "I won’t eat his late–night snack anymore, in case you guys misunderstand again. I’ll go upstairs to rest now."
