Chapter 6: The Smith family's old scores will be settled in due time

"Serena?"

Samuel and Rosalind's expressions froze for a moment, as if blown by a cold wind.

Why did this stubborn girl wake up at this moment?

Serena was wearing a loose white dress, with her long chestnut curly hair like seaweed lazily draped over her shoulders.

She has bright eyes, white teeth, and skin whiter than snow. Although her delicate face is pale, it adds a touch of fragile beauty that is very attractive.

Shirley's eyes flashed with jealousy. Serena's appearance made her feel unwilling every time she met her.

"Young Madam——"

William stood up from the sofa, his face full of undisguised respect. The young lady's appearance is even more outstanding than in the photo, and the old man will be very satisfied. As for the young master... take your time.

Seeing this, Samuel and the other two had to stand up with unnatural expressions to welcome Serena 's arrival.

Serena looked at William with a faint smile on her face: "William, please sit down."

She behaved decently and generously, just like the real owner of the villa. However, only she herself knew that her heart was far from being as calm as it appeared.

Robert is Ethan's father and the Miller family's butler. His appearance means that Tristan will also appear soon.

The man who had embraced her and shared despair with her.

Serena felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.

William sat down, and when he faced Serena, his smile became more sincere: "If you don't mind, Madam, you can call me Robert like the young master."

"Okay." Serena smiled and nodded. With the memory of her past life, it was indeed more convenient to call her Robert.

" Robert ."

" Serena ," Samuel frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, "Does your head still hurt?"

Looking at Samuel's hypocritical appearance, Serena raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded lightly: "Much better."

"That's good." Rosalind sat down next to Serena, holding her hand tightly with one hand and pretending to wipe the corners of her eyes with the other hand. "Your uncle and I have been worried and unable to sleep these past two days, fearing that..."

Before she finished speaking, Serena had already withdrawn her hand, looked sideways at Robert, and smiled faintly: "Robert, you just said that these are the gifts Frederick gave me?"

Rosalind's words were interrupted, and her face turned pale. Normally, Serena would be flattered when she showed a little gentleness, so what happened today?

Shirley's eyes also flashed with displeasure.

Samuel was afraid that his wife and daughter would say something wrong in front of the Miller family , so he quickly winked at the two of them secretly.

Robert had been in the Miller family for many years, and his ability to read people's expressions had already been perfected. He took in the expressions of Samuel and the other two, and had something in mind.

"Yes." Robert became more respectful to Serena and informed her in detail the amount of the betrothal gift and the location of the two manors.

The Smith family's appetite is indeed not small.

Serena lowered her beautiful eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her face. In her previous life, she knew nothing about the bride price.

"This betrothal gift is too expensive." Serena said, pushing the box in front of her towards Robert, her meaning was self-evident.

Samuel and his wife looked anxious. What was this damn girl doing?

" The old man specifically ordered that you are the wife of the head of the Miller family . In the future, the entire Miller family will be yours." Robert once again handed over the box with both hands, looking sincere, "These are just a small gift from the Miller family . Please accept it, Madam."

Shirley could hardly conceal the jealousy in her eyes. Samuel and Rosalind looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"That's right, Serena." Samuel was afraid that Serena would refuse again, so he quickly smiled and said, "This gift represents the Miller family's importance to you. If we don't accept it, it will show that our family doesn't know etiquette."

Rosalind also nodded, her chubby face full of smiles again: "Your uncle is right, take it."

Serena narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, smiling but not smiling, with a cold look in her eyes. The Miller family never took back what they gave. What she did just now was just to tease the Smith family . It was really interesting.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Serena took the box calmly and said, "In that case, I'll take it."

Robert nodded with satisfaction, and Samuel and the other two felt relieved.

However, at this moment, Serena's sweet and gentle voice sounded again: "Now that I have accepted the betrothal gift, I should also prepare my dowry."

Samuel and Rosalind's eyebrows jumped when they heard the word "dowry". What did Serena want to do?

Shirley 's face under the delicate makeup showed displeasure.

" But after grandpa's accident, I have been living with my uncle. How can I trouble my uncle again with the dowry..." Serena lowered her eyes, looking pitiful.

Robert looked at Samuel, who froze for a moment, then reacted: "Serena, don't say that. Your aunt and I have always treated you as our own daughter. It is only natural for us to help you with the dowry."

Rosalind smiled and nodded, but secretly stepped on Samuel's foot. Samuel felt pain in his foot, but his face remained calm. When he spoke again, he changed the subject: "But Shen's Group has encountered some troubles recently, and my uncle is also powerless. Fortunately, a family like the Miller family will definitely not mind."

Robert remained silent, but his gaze towards Samuel faded a little.

" I understand uncle, so I don't want you to prepare anything." Serena nodded sensibly, "Fortunately, before grandpa disappeared, he transferred the yard and a small hospital under his name to me, so I can use this as a dowry."

She glanced at Samuel with a faint smile on her face, "Is it okay, uncle?"

The yard and the hospital? Samuel and his wife turned pale. While Serena was unconscious, they had sold these two assets and put all the money into the Shen Group. Now, how could they use it as a dowry for Serena?

Shirley stared at Serena , her expression quickly darkening. Damn Serena !

" Since it was left to the young lady by Mr. Shi, the Smith family naturally has no reason to disagree." Robert obviously saw the clue and looked at Samuel calmly , " Mr. Smith , what do you think?"

"This..." The Miller family's attitude was so clear that Samuel couldn't refuse.

“…William is right.”

Robert nodded. Rosalind looked unhappy, her lips trembling but she couldn't speak. She just stared at Serena with complicated eyes. Serena ignored him and smiled with curved eyebrows, which made her look more beautiful.

"Then please send the ownership information of the yard and hospital to the Miller family as soon as possible."

Under Robert's gaze, Samuel nodded heavily.

"Madam, the old man specifically asked me to pick you up." Robert looked at Serena and said softly, "Since everything has been decided, we..."

Miller House .

Are you meeting Tristán ?

Serena suppressed the bitterness in her heart and stood up from her seat: "Let's go."

Robert also stood up and followed closely. The mercenary behind him picked up the box on the table with an expressionless face and followed him out.

Gone now? The Smith family didn't get a cent of the high-priced gift!

Rosalind was stunned and quickly grabbed Samuel's arm: "Serena..."

Samuel hurriedly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay: "You just woke up, you should rest at home for a night, and then go to Miller Family when you are in better condition."

"No need." Serena turned her head, her eyes were cold, "I think the Miller family's recuperation conditions will not be worse than the Smith family . And..."

She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Shirley with a gloomy face , and smiled: " Sister Shirley really pushed me down the stairs accidentally. I'm fine now. Don't blame yourself, and don't blame her."

Before she finished her words, Serena left without looking back.

Was the young lady pushed down the stairs by someone from the Smith family?

Robert's face completely darkened. It seemed that what he expected was right. The young lady's life in the Smith family was far from being as easy as it seemed.

"I will take you to the hospital for a detailed examination. If there is any hidden danger, no one can afford to be blamed by the old man and the young master." The deep meaning of the words is self-evident.

Samuel and the other two had a flash of panic in their eyes. They wanted to say something else, but Serena and Robert did not give them the opportunity to speak and walked out of the hall.

Inside the car.

Looking at the Smith family villa getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, a cold smile appeared in Serena's eyes.

The Smith family’s old accounts will be settled in due time.

She wanted to wait until the person who instigated the Smith family to kill her appeared, and then make the Smith family fall into the abyss when they reached the peak.
