Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Booking a Plane Ticket

Whenever Grace Summers felt aggrieved, she would seek out her brothers to lament, and after her sorrow, she would then pretend to be strong and ensure them that she was fine, asking the three of them not to trouble Serena Summers.

So, the three brothers never doubted the truthfulness of Grace Summers’ words.

Hearing that even when Grace was wronged, she was considerate enough to plead for Serena, they only grew more sympathetic towards Grace and more disdainful towards Serena.

He never gave it much thought before, but now reflecting on it... it was terrifying.

By the time Declan Summers regained his senses, he realized that his back was soaked with a cold sweat.

He immediately opened his contacts and called Evan Summers.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello? Second brother? Are you alright? I heard there was a heavy downpour on Prosperity Hill. How are you? Are you injured? Everyone at home is really worried about you." Evan’s voice came through, filled with concern, warming Declan’s heart.

"I’m fine, I’ve already come down from the mountain." Declan was feeling conflicted as he thought about Serena and quickly asked, "Evan, has anything happened at home in the two months I’ve been away?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and a flicker of pain crossed Evan’s eyes.

He gripped his phone tighter, his voice hoarse and choked, "Second brother, you already know? I could never have imagined that our sister, who we watched grow up, could harbor such malice."

Hearing Evan’s words, Declan’s heart sank sharply.

If he had held a sliver of hope for Grace before, now the last shred of that hope was shattered with a bang.

His lips parted slightly, asking in disbelief, "So... the things going around on the internet are all true, Grace’s fans really splashed hot water on Serena and attacked her online?"

Evan replied: "She did far more than just that! Second brother, we always thought Serena was arrogant, spiteful, and bullied Grace, but it was only later that I realized everything was an illusion."

As he spoke, Evan’s voice began to falter, and he couldn’t help the redness welling up in his eyes.

He blamed himself for trusting the wrong person, which led to his own sister suffering so much humiliation at home.

In the end, Serena was even taken by their own parents to serve as a substitute bride at someone else’s wedding.

"Where’s Grace now? Where is she?" Declan’s voice filled with a cold edge.

Evan sniffed, disgust flashing in his eyes, "I haven’t been home for a long time now, she should still be at the Summers Family’s house."

"What about our parents? Didn’t they do anything?" Declan couldn’t believe his ears.

Although he loved Grace the most, after learning the truth, he quickly sifted through all the logic.

He knew clearly that some mistakes needed to be stopped promptly.

But why, why did their parents still want to keep Grace?

He couldn’t figure it out.

Neither could Evan.

He scoffed, "I don’t know what kind of spell Grace has cast on our parents, they refuse to kick her out no matter what."

Serena was obviously their biological daughter.

Declan fell silent for a long while, then slowly said, "Grace must truly have that ability, otherwise she wouldn’t have fooled us all these years."

"If Grace hadn’t done those hurtful things, it would be fine for her to stay in the Summers Family. But I, Declan Summers, will absolutely not tolerate a woman with such a malicious heart being my sister."

Right now, Declan was looking through various messages from Grace complaining about her grievances and begging him to speak up for her on social media, and couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

How brazen was Grace to say such things?

"Second brother... I really treated Serena poorly in the past, and she refuses to forgive me or see me to this day."

Evan hid in his room, burying his face in his knees, as tears fell without restraint.

He was pampered by the Summers Family since he was little, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a little tyrant.

For all these years, he has only made others cry, but right now, such a stubborn and proud young man’s tears were uncontrollably falling, overwhelmed with grievance.

Although he felt somewhat heartbroken hearing the sobs from the phone receiver, what he felt even more was guilt towards Serena Summers.

After Serena returned to the Summers Family, not a single person in the household showed her any kindness.

He was included in that as well.

Even though he hadn’t spent much time with Serena, he had never shown her a warm face.

"Evan, this time with the heavy rainstorm, our entire crew was trapped in the mountains, do you know who came to rescue us?"

"Who?"

"Serena Summers."

"What?"

Evan Summers leaped off the bed, eyes filled with astonishment and shock, "Second brother, are you serious? You really saw Serena? Why would she go to such a dangerous place?"

"I’m not quite sure, but if it wasn’t for her, I would probably have been trapped to death in the cave," Declan Summers said bleakly.

Evan swallowed hard and anxiously opened the ticket booking app, "Wait for me, Second Brother, I’m going to purchase a ticket and head over immediately."

Declan Summers frowned and asked, "What are you coming for?"

However, Evan didn’t respond and just hung up the phone.

City S, the Summers House.

Evan opened the ticket booking app to look for flights to Prosperity Hill, intending to book the earliest flight.

However, there was no information about any flights to Prosperity Hill on the website.

He later found out that due to the severity of the disaster at Prosperity Hill, flights had been canceled for the next few days.

With no other choice, Evan dejectedly sat back down on the bed.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that he had a private plane and immediately called to have the private plane prepared.

Meanwhile.

Prosperity Hill.

A flash flood had erupted, causing the collapse of many houses in the area this year, and many people were injured.

The town’s hospital was quickly occupied to capacity, with medical staff becoming scarce.

The entire hospital was in a state of frantic distress.

Though Prosperity Hill was a 5A-level scenic spot, the economic development of the surrounding small town was very slow, so the hospital in the town was usually quiet.

Now that so many people had come all at once, the doctors in the hospital were not only short-staffed but also appeared flustered.

To protect her privacy, her agent Sister Grace had arranged a private room for Crystal Harper.

Sister Grace brought back food from the hospital cafeteria and couldn’t help but sigh, "Luckily we arrived early. Otherwise, we would have ended up like those people, unable to get a room and forced to queue and squeeze in downstairs."

She didn’t care much for herself, but Crystal Harper was a public figure, after all.

If people discovered that she had been injured and hospitalized here, it would definitely draw a lot of attention.

Crystal Harper opened her eyes weakly and said helplessly, "The rainstorm came so unexpectedly, nobody was prepared. I saw on the news that the houses of residents around here have all been washed away."

"Yes. There are many injured patients queueing outside, with adults holding their feverish children crying, it looks quite pitiable," Sister Grace put the food container on the bedside table, sat down by the bed, and couldn’t resist sighing.
