Chapter 275I don’t want to believe it
“So you gave Cristian a chance to wait for him to give you a satisfactory answer?”
Speaking of that, Serena’s eyes faded a bit: “It’s already been a few days, and I still haven’t gotten a satisfactory answer.”
“Don’t worry, after all he asked you to believe him, just give him some more time.”
Saying that, Anna had a hunch and began to analyze it.
“See how I told you Alice is a little slut? And I also said that Cristian really likes you, and in fact he really likes you.”
Serena: “…”
Anna told her again that Alice was a little slut. Serena still felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned and was about to respond, but Anna anticipated her, “Don’t say no. She has done this kind of thing before. If you defend her again, I won’t help you in the future.”
Hearing this, Serena could not help but sigh and whispered, “The thing is. I don’t know what the truth is.”
“No matter what the truth is, she’s made it point. She is now wearing the pair of earrings Cristian bought her, isn’t she? No matter what she says or does, she can’t clean herself up. Serena, open your eyes you cannot excuse her forever for what you went through. Maybe she was a good person before, but I want to tell you the truth. People don’t change so suddenly, maybe she approached you with this ulterior motive from the beginning.
Serena: “She approached me with a second from the beginning?”
“Yes. You met in college, surely there was something to exploit you for.”
Was there something to exploit her for in college?
Serena thought and shook her head, “I never had anything in particular, what you just said cannot be true.”
“Maybe you’re the one who doesn’t know you have something that can be exploited, but she does. Just like now, you married Cristian and she takes him away from you. Serena, if you had never seen that pair of earrings, would you know that Alice is wearing them behind your back? Maybe. She’s already taken a lot of things away from you, but you’ve only just discovered her.”
Serena: “…”
“Don’t be conspiratorial, maybe it’s just that she likes Cristian, so she had no other alternative…”
“You go to so much trouble! When are you going to stop? That’s just the way she is. Are you still protecting her? Serena, do you want me to slap you to wake you up? Or will you wake up when she has taken everything away from you?”
Serena stared at her with a blank stare. Anna’s face was swollen from how angry she was; she was obviously angry about the thing.
They looked at each other for a moment. Serena suddenly lowered her eyes and was as if lifeless.
“But how could I believe it? I have spent so much time with her and she has always been a good person. She always helped me when I needed it.”
Even when he asked her to investigate who the man was on that rainy night, Alice did it for her.
Moreover, he had always given her suggestions. She also wanted her to be happy, and Alice had even pushed her to confess to Leonardo. She could not believe she had done it all on purpose.
Anna was silent for a moment.
She sat beside Serena and could understand Serena’s mood.
They were almost like sisters in their later years; she did not easily believe that he had cheated on her.
Unless he had heard with his own ears Alice to admit it.
But she was so treacherous that it was impossible she would admit it.
Thinking about it, Anna sighed, “I know it’s hard for you, but sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth, maybe she will have had her own reasons. Even if Alice explained the problems that made her do it, it doesn’t matter, you still have to accept things as they are. I just came today to see how you are doing. Since I see that you’re fine, I’m leaving now.”
Hearing that he was leaving, Serena immediately became nervous: “Are you leaving? I’d like you to stay here for dinner.”
Anna smiled weakly, “Do you think I wouldn’t want to stay for dinner? But I have to go back to work, you know? I’m not like you! I don’t have a rich husband. If it weren’t for saving you, I would have won the swimming competition that night, and then, in the spotlight, all the richer men would have noticed me. Maybe I would even be in love now?
After listening, Serena commented in a serious tone, “This is stupid.”
“Fuck you, I’m leaving now, I’ll come see you another day.”
After Anna left, Serena was left alone to think.
She did not really believe that Alice had ulterior motives. Even after that incident, she thought that since they were happy, she would be the one to leave.
But she expected herself.
Serena lowered her eyes and felt her thoughts begin to wander.

Later, when Cristian returned, the room was empty. Several maids were rearranging things on the table and talking together.
Usually, Serena was talking and joking with them.
Cristian saw that scene every time he walked through the door. But today Serena was not there.
“Cristian, you’re back.” Said Noa respectfully stepping forward.
Not having seen Serena, Cristian felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. He tightened his thin lips and looked at her questioningly.
Having already realized what his question was, Noa explained, “Serena does not seem to have an appetite today, so she went back to her room to rest. Cristian, Serena seems to be in a bad mood.”
Hearing this, Cristian frowned, had she not let Anna come to see her because she was in a bad mood?
Thinking about this, Cristian nodded, “All right, everyone leave.”
“All right.”
Cristian entered the room. The room was dark. He bent down and found the switch. After turning on the light, he found that there was no one in the room.
The room was empty as if no one lived there.
At that moment, only one idea came to Cristian’s mind.
Serena had run away!
Immediately, Cristian began to breathe heavily, his forehead swelled, and he angrily spun his wheels out of the room.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
This damn woman wanted to run away again, did she really think she could escape?
Even though Cristian was in a wheelchair, he was very fast and left very quickly.
He went straight for Serena. When he came out, he was angry, and he did not notice that there was someone sitting not far from the shore. Serena was sitting there, holding her knees and looking at the sea at night.
The sea under the moon was more beautiful than during the day. The bright moon was reflected on the sea, which gave an end-of-the-world feeling at that moment.
