Chapter 340 Beware of Her


    "Yes. Hello, madam." Serenity''s expression remained unchanged as she responded faintly.


    "Adopted girl?" Susan proimed with a smile, "After s o many years of getting along with them,


    Serene is closer to mom and dad than me."


    Serenity smiled and did not say anything else.


    Madam Shaw had already interrupted the conversation coldly. "That’s not how it goes. The adopted


    child is still the adopted one. How can it bepared to a biological one?"


    Madam Shaw’s voice was sharp and piercing. The atmosphere became charged in an instant.


    Susan could not help but re at Madam Shaw. Why would she direct suchments at Serenity


    all of a sudden?


    "Let''s get in the car." Julian opened the door and the atmosphere eased slightly.


    At the Shaw Mansion...


    "Good day, Mr. Shaw. Good day, Mrs. Shaw." As soon a s they arrived at the door, two neatly-


    arranged rows of servants greeted them respectfully.


    Susan was shocked. "Mom, why are there so many people?"


    Madam Shaw chuckled. "You''re now pregnant, Susie. How could Mama Jean look after you by


    herself? I called to hire a few more servants while you were away. I''ve hired five people for the


    kitchen alone, all of whom are the best. Don''t worry, Susie. They''re just meant to make sure you eat


    well and feelfortable."


    At first nce, there were at least dozens of people, and Susan was slightly ufortable.


    However, in order to avoid rejecting Madam Shaw’s kindness, she nodded in response.


    When they entered the house, the servants took Julian and Susan''s luggage and they went upstairs


    to unpack.


    "Serene, there are plenty of rooms on the second and third floor. You''re wee to choose any one


    of them."


    "Okay, I''ll get up there and take a look." Serenity grinned while following the servants upstairs to


    choose a room for herself.


    When Madam Shaw saw that Serenity had gone upstairs, she could not help moving closer to


    Susan''s side and saying softly, "Susie, why did Serenity follow you back?"


    Madam Shaw''s tone sounded awkward. Susan froze for a second before saying, "Serene is here to


    take care of me."


    "Take care of you? It would already be considered nice enough if she’s not here to harm you."


    Madam Shaw''s voice suddenly became louder.


    "Mom, what are you talking about?" Susan could not help but furrow her brows.


    "Susie, I don’t want to berate you, but you''re still too naive." Madam Shaw took Susan’s hand and


    exined earnestly, "I''m more experienced than you i n life, so I can tell with a nce the cards that


    Serenity is trying to y now."


    "What cards could she be ying?" Susan, who was baffled, took a nce at Madam Shaw.


    "Listen to my take on it." Madam Shaw continued exining with a straight face. "Before you were


    located, Serenity was your recement in the Wright Family. Now that you''re back, her status in the


    Wright Family must''ve plummeted. Do you think she would wee you back wholeheartedly?”


    "Mom... You’re overthinking..." Susan could not help but say as she started to understand what


    Madam Shaw was trying to convey.


    "You listen to me!" Madam Shaw interrupted her and said, "Besides look at her. Look at that


    coquettish appearance. She looks just like a vixen and nowhere near a good person. She came


    here now, iming that she''ll be taking care of you, but deep down she must b e upset. I think she


    might seduce Julian and try to ruin your rtionship. She might even harm your baby 99


    Madam Shaw spoke like she was very reasonable and was making good arguments, but Julian and


    Susan


    were left desperately speechless.


    Julian could not help but stop Madam Shaw from getting increasingly more outrageous. "Mom, what


    drama have you been watchingtely?”


    "Lately? Nothing much. I''ve been watching ''The Three Vengeful Daughters'', ''The Fog of Love'',


    and..." Madam Shaw was puzzled for a while as she replied.


    Julian said helplessly, "Mom, you should watch fewer dramas.”


    "What’s wrong with dramas?” Madam Shaw raised her eyebrows. "Dramas are based on reality. I


    really think that she looks exactly like the vicious female antagonists in TV series. She must be evil."


    She had seen too much with those eyes. She couldn''t b e wrong!


    "Mom.” Susan started to feel helpless. "You can say this to Julian and me, and we''ll just pretend that


    we didn''t hear. But don''t talk such nonsense when Serene is around.”


    "So what if I said this in front of her?" Madam Shaw frowned. "I''m still thinking of finding a way to


    drive her away. She’s just an adopted daughter. Why should I be afraid? Susie, you don''t have to be


    afraid of her either. Just kick her out of the Wright Family as soon a s possible to stabilize your


    status in the family."


    "Mom! Such groundless remarks cannot be made irresponsibly." Susan started to feel bothered.


    "Plus, the Wright Family is not asplicated as you think i t is. Everybody just lives together. It''s


    that simple. There is no such thing as a stable or an unstable status."


    "But..."


    Madam Shaw still had something to say, but Julian interrupted her directly and said, "Mom, Serene


    is here under Mrs. Wright’s orders. What would Mrs. Wright think if you were to drive her away?


    What would Marshal Wright think?”


    "About that..." Madam Shaw’s expression changed. She then said faintly after thinking about it, "So


    I won''t drive her away! Are you good with that?


    However, don''t me me for being a scaremonger. You must be warier of that girl, or who knows


    what maddening things she could be capable of."


    "Alright, alright. I am on that." Julian made a perfunctory promise.


    "You better take my words seriously. After all, I am speaking based on all the experience that I


    have..." Madam Shaw kept on speaking non-stop.


    "Okay, mom. I''m hungry already. Let''s get ready and eat, alright?" Susan said with a smile.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "You’re hungry? Alright, I’ll go into the kitchen and take a look at the soup," Madam Shaw


    responded immediately.


    She then left for the kitchen.


    Julian and Susan gazed at each other, both feeling a little speechless.


    Seriously, if Serenity had been raised by another family, Susan would not have dared to stay too


    close t o her, as their identities made the situation a little awkward.


    However, Serenity had grown up with the Wrights.


    Given Marshal Wright’s personality, he would not have allowed such a mindset in the family.


    Luna, though cautious,prehensive, and cunning, would not harm others either.


    The apple would not fall far from the tree.


    Serenity might be a little jealous of her. Susan would believe that.


    But why would Serenity do something to hurt her? Susan would never believe that.


    "Susie, I''m done choosing. I picked the room just next t o yours. It will be easier to take care of


    things, just in case something happens." Serenity, who was done choosing a room, was now


    heading downstairs.


    "Thanks, Serene," Susan said with an appreciative grin.


    "Why are you thanking me? We’re family." Serenity flipped her hair with a charming posture.


    Susan nced at her with a slightly envious look.


    Serenity''s actions were not deliberate. However, she had been born with a curvaceous figure, and


    inbination with her enchanting face, anything she did was enough to attract any man''s


    attraction.


    Such natural beauty could only be considered a blessing, and other people could not imitate it.
