If Isabella kept acting like this and upsetting Serena, then it was time for her to leave the family.
A warmth spread through Serena’s heart.
She curved her lips into a smile. "Alright. Thank you, Grandpa."
***
Isabella ran back to her room in tears, intentionally leaving the door slightly ajar.
But she waited and waited.
No one came to comfort her.
It had to be that country girl. She must have pulled some trick to keep the family from coming upstairs to console her!
Now that even Agnes was gone, there was no one left who would bother.
Isabella grew more miserable the more she thought about it, and she began to wail.
It was all that country girl’s fault!
Not only had she stolen her family, but she had also stolen Nicholas!
She thought about how Nicholas had been cold and distant to her advances for so many years. He only ever responded to her out of respect for their grandfathers, and even then, his replies were brief and cool.
And forget about him ever giving her a gift!
But now…
How long had it been?
Nicholas was already living with Serena and even giving her presents!
It was that very gift from Nicholas that had gotten Agnes banished to the maintenance staff on the far end of the estate.
Isabella fumed.
Suddenly, she shot up in bed.
That gift box…
Alfred had brought it upstairs.
Right now, everyone was fawning over Serena. No one was paying attention to what was happening up here.
She was going to see exactly what kind of gift Nicholas had given Serena!
