“It's work-related.” Hearing this, Louisa thought, work-related? Not done yet? Seeing her daughter so dedicated to her work, she laughed, “Don’t overwork yourself; remember to eat; if you can't get it done, ask someone for help.” “Sure.” Arabella replied gently, “I'll be quite busy for the next few days; there's a competition | need to attend.” After hearing that, Louisa chit-chatted for a bit and then hung up.

I've asked you to come home and check on your sister; how many days has it been? Are you trying to piss me off?” She was about to give him a piece of her mind when she heard him say, “I'm coming back tonight.” Louisa was taken aback. “Tonight?” That's pretty sudden! “Yes, I'm coming home for dinner.” Hans Collins had already bought presents and was on his way home, telling Julian, who was driving, “Step on it.” Upon hearing that, Louisa immediately said, “No rush; safety first.” Great, Hans Collins was coming back! After hanging up, she had more dishes prepared.
When she heard that her brother was coming back, Serena Collins was.overjoyed. She waited at the front door for quite a while, and finally Julian's car pulled up at the villa.
Julian opened the car door for Hans Collins.
Seeing that tall and stern figure stepping out, Serena excitedly called out, “Brother!” Hearing her voice, Hans Collins softened a bit. After all, they grew up together, and before Arabella came, the whole family doted on her like a little princess.
Their bond was real.
“You're finally back; | missed you so much!” Serena's face was full of joy. “You're always abroad; it's not easy for you to come home. Can you stay longer this time?” Hans Collins* face softened. “Sure.” “Awesome!” Although Serena was somewhat in awe of her brother, she boldly walked over and took Hans Collins‘ hand. “We've got a new sister at home recently; it's quite lively, and now that you're back, it's going to be even more so!” Hans Collins glanced at her hand, gently removing it. “You're grown up now; you should act more mature.” He never liked being touched, but he didn’t mind Serena's touch; he was even somewhat gentle.

Upon hearing this, Serena's face changed, and she quickly said, “Good, quite good. just like you, a person with a strong personality.” She deliberately avoided eye contact, even feigning fear in her heart.
Her behavior naturally caught Hans Collins‘ eye. It seemed that the girl was a difficult person to get along with.
“It's alright, spill the beans.” Hans Collins walked with her towards the main hall.
Along the way, Serena wanted to speak but hesitated.
She deliberately concealed the fear and anxiety in her eyes and hesitated for a while before saying, “All in all, you'll find out soon enough.” Hans Collins’ eyes dimmed a bit; it seemed that sister of his often bullied her.
