Chapter 402
Watching David walk away, Serena was fuming.
Just then, Martha hurried over to her, looked around to ensure no one was around, and whispered, “Serena! I heard David’s welcome gift for Ms. Bella is a limited edition diamond set from CN.”
“CN did release a few diamond sets recently, but each one is worth a fortune!” Serena’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is David really willing to spend that much on a sister he’s never met?”
This jewellery set was globally limited. A lot of people, including foreign royals, wanted to buy it. It wasn’t something she could just buy if she had the money! It involved connections, power, status and was incredibly complicated.
Even though Serena wanted that jewellery set, she knew that as an adopted daughter, she had no right to ask her parents to buy her something that expensive! But David had easily bought it and given it to that person!
The worst part was all she got were ten autographs. It was so unfair!!
“Everyone in the family says they’ll treat everyone fairly, but their attitudes towards you and Arabella are clearly different, and the treatment gap is huge!” Martha sighed, “Serena, no matter how hard you try, you can’t change this fact.”
Serena bit her lip unwillingly. Could her parents and brother easily take back the love they had for her for 18 years just because of blood ties?
She used to be the little princess of the family. They promised to make her the most carefree and happy little princess–in the world! They were all liars!!! They stopped taking care of her after their biological daughter came back!!
It would be so much better if Arabella didn’t come back.
David walked quickly and soon caught up with Arabella, “Bella!”
His clear voice reached Arabella’s ears. Arabella had just walked into the room and turned her head with a puzzled look when she heard the voice, “Bro, what’s up?” David quickly handed her a black card and sincerely said, “This is some pocket money for you, no limit. Feel free to spend it. Consider it a little token of my affection.”
Arabella looked at the black card in his hand with some surprise. Why did all the brothers in the house like to give her money?
“Thanks,” Arabella said softly, “I have enough money.”
Yes, when someone wanted her to write a song before, she said she was not short of money and didn’t take orders.
When asked to design jewellery, she also said she was too busy to do it. She was not short of money at all!!
Not only was she not short of money, but as the founder of QY, a pianist, and composer, her income must be very high. How could she be short of money?
But David still insisted on giving it to her and said seriously, “This is a token of my affection. Are you not accepting it because of what happened tonight? I was wrong tonight, and it was all my fault. Can you forgive me?”
Before Arabella could answer, David said pleasingly, “Can I buy you some candy?”
Arabella found it amusing, “I’ve already forgotten about tonight.”
“Really?” David immediately showed a happy smile, and couldn’t help pinching her face, “You’re so well–behaved and understanding. I’ll be nicer to you in the future! You have to take this card, no refusals!”
Just as Arabella was about to speak, David said loudly, “It’s only natural for a big brother to earn money for his little sister to spend! If you don’t accept it, you don’t care about me!”
When David said this, his tone softened a bit, “Please accept it.”
Arabella was amused by him, thinking he was kind of cute. She reached out to take his card, It didn’t matter if she kept it without spending it.
“You can’t save money for me! If I find out that you haven’t spent a penny from the card, no matter how busy I am, I will fly back and take you shopping!”
“I got it.”
“Good girl!” David pinched her face again, thinking his little sister was well–behaved and likeable.
“What about your WhatsApp?”
“Oh right, WhatsApp!” He wanted to add her on WhatsApp, but every time he asked Louisa, she told him to ask his sister at home!
He knew what Louisa was worrying about! He wouldn’t just chat a few words with his sister on WhatsApp and not come home. He wasn’t that kind of person!
“Let me add you!” David immediately took out his phone, hoping to be his sister’s friend on WhatsApp soon, and then he could show off in front of his other
-brothers!
David scanned his sister’s QR code business card and immediately added her as a friend, with the note: Bella.
After adding WhatsApp, Arabella sent him two pictures..
When David opened it, his eyes widened, “Sheet music?”
“This is my original composition. It’s never been released. I think it suits you.” Arabella’s eyes were very gentle, “This is my welcome gift for you.”
David was hugely surprised. He was dazed for a moment, vaguely hearing his sister talking.
“I was indeed very busy before, and now I have to manage the family business. I’m really stretched thin.”
David only found out after asking that his parents had handed over the nearly bankrupt company to his sister to manage!
