Sera had detested Angeline since childhood, so she was not interested in owing Angeline any favors. She sprung up from the couch and walked up to Yumi, saying solicitously, "If that's the case, I'll leave my marriage in your hands then, Yumi."
Anne glared at Sera with exasperation and reasoned with her. "I spent all my life trying to figure out your sister Angeline. Although she has a bad temper and can sound harsh sometimes, she really isn't that bad o f a person. Not only that, she knows how to appreciate her family. So Sera, don’t get angry with your sister or you'll regret it one day."
Would Sera listen to her mother's advice, though?
When Yumi saw how distant Sera was acting toward Angeline, a malicious smile played out in her eyes.
"I have something to tell you, Sera. Come with me."
While keeping things mysterious, Yumi brought Sera t o the courtyard and crossed her arms, sizing Sera up and down.
"Now aren't you just beautiful," she exclaimed insincerely.
"It's a pity that a beautiful shell like that isn't being put into good use."
Sera glared at her and said a little impatiently, "Stop talking all that nonsense. Get straight to the point!"
The poisonous smile in Yumi's eyes was overflowing. Suddenly, she leaned in closer to Sera and muttered under her breath, "Do you know that he's back?"
Sera looked numb and indifferent. "You mean the former young master, right? So what if he has returned?"
Yumi said, "I'm sure you don’t know that he has lost his memory, right?"
Sera’s eyes widened...
Yumi said, "Your sister is keeping this a secret, so no one in Imperial Capital is bold enough to say a word to Jay. She’s keeping him like some kind of rare treasure, but what she doesn't know is that the more she treasures something, the more vulnerable and susceptible to damage that thing will become."
"What do you mean?"
"I heard that like Angeline, you've had a crush on him for the longest time. Are you really going to resign to this? You didn't seize the opportunity and allowed Angeline to get to him first, and right now, you actually have the opportunity to compete with Angeline again. Maybe God will take care of you this time, and who knows, you might just be the one to tie the knot with the young master in the end?"
Sera staggered a little. All the unwillingness and despair that she had sealed off in her heart were now stirring and eager to get into action again.
