Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 813 - 814

"David gave them to me before."

Never did she expect that David would show up in the same pair. It was all a coincidence, but to the fans online, it was proof positive they were an item.

Rosemary scrolled through a list the fans had compiled, outlining the ten pieces of ’evidence’ that they were dating. One point was about a fan noticing the way David looked at her while singing - full of adoration, his smile brimming with affection.

And then there were fans saying, [Do you know who Summer is? Big shots in the industry can’t even invite her over, so how does David swing it? Because they’ve got to be dating, that’s how! Otherwise,

why would David spend an entire night clearing up rumors for her about lip-syncing and plagiarism.He’s got no obligation! They’ve got to be hiding something!!]

Rosemary was almost convinced by their deductions, especially when someone zoomed in on the in-ear monitor she wore while singing.

[I’m David’s die-hard fan, and I recognize those in-ears! That’s David’s favorite set - the pair he treasures most! I can’t believe he’d let Summer use them.]

[Their relationship must be pretty tight.]

Rosemary was at a loss for words. She had been a last-minute replacement onstage and hadn’t brought her own in-ears - was borrowing David’s really such a crime???

And then there were the countless fans who swooned over that hug on stage, claiming it was the kind of embrace only real lovers would share.

Next, they dissected the eyes beneath Summer’s mask, saying, "Those clear bright eyes, so full of life and grace, they could only belong to a young girl, not some older woman past her prime!!"

So, they excitedly begged Summer to drop the mask and for her and David to go public with their romance - both their fan bases would celebrate.

"You and David are really trending magnets; anything you do hits the hot topics." Louisa knew all too well that fame came with its baggage, "Thankfully, no one knows you’re Summer and Summer is you.

Otherwise, you’d have reporters camping at our doorstep. That would make life pretty inconvenient."

As Louisa peeled an egg for her daughter, she added, "David used to avoid coming home often, just so he wouldn’t disturb the family."

Rosemary hadn’t realized David’s fame came at such a cost, keeping him from home.

Meanwhile, Serena sent a message to Erik, eager to gauge her parents’ mood.

Relying solely on Betty for updates wasn’t enough - Erik was the family’s butler, and since Martha left, he was the one who truly knew their parents’ thoughts.

She chose her words carefully, hit send, and clutched her phone tightly, waiting. Soon after, the phone vibrated.

[Ms. Serena, at this point, there’s no use in me keeping secrets.]

Serena’s heart sank as she read Erik’s message. The vibe from her parents didn’t seem warm.

[The skincare you bought for Mrs. Collins with your prize money, she’s stopped using it. Instead, she’s switched to the Ar-Bl-Clear Group series gifted by Ms. Rosemary. As you know, Ms. Rosemary is the founder of the Ar-Bl-Clear Group skincare line.]

Serena’s fingernails dug into her palm. This news had even reached Erik. If he knew that Rosemary was behind Ar-Bl-Clear Group, then surely the lower servants were cozying up to Rosemary, hoping she’d help them look more beautiful? Rosemary must have been doling out skincare products to win them over.

Thinking this, Serena felt a surge of resentment towards Rosemary’s underhandedness.

[Also, the massage chair you got for Mr. Collins with your piano competition winnings, he used to love it, and had it in his room. Last night, it was moved to storage.]

[What are you saying? Why?] Serena was too shock to believe; she typed the message with trembling hands.

[Mr. Collins claimed the massage chair broke, saying it was uncomfortable and even gave off electric shocks. But I think it’s because Ms. Rosemary gave him a new one, and that’s why the old one was

discarded.]

[Rosemary bought him a new massage chair?] Serena asked in disbelief.

[Yeah, Ms. Rosemary got some brand I’ve never heard of before. Mr. and Mrs. Collins said it felt like heaven and wouldn’t stop praising it all night.]

Turned out her parents really that fickle, which Serena found unexpected. Was it just because the chair she had bought them before was too cheap, not high-end enough? But that was the prize money from her piano competition.

[And that painting you did for them, the one that used to hang in their bedroom, got taken down last night, too and was replaced with one by Ms. Rosemary.]

She couldn’t believe her ears. Her parents were erasing her presence, stripping away years of her affection with the removal of that painting!

[So, practically nothing you ever gave them is left in their room. That blanket you bought them has been packed away. And the clothes you gifted them, they’re not wearing those anymore either, all packed up.]

Serena’s expression soured, realizing just how much her parents seemed to disdain her.

[And especially, the bracelet you bought for Mrs. Collins with all your prize money, the one she used to cherish so much, she took that off last night too. Now her wrists are bare.]

Frozen in shock, Serena wondered, why this sudden change of heart from her parents?

[Ms. Serena, you haven’t had a falling out with Ms. Myrna, have you?]

Myrna? Chasel’s girlfriend?

[Why do you ask?] Serena pressed urgently.

[Because she came by yesterday, and after that, Mrs. Collins was furious. She took off the bracelet and ordered your painting to be taken down.]

Serena remembered the unpleasantness at school. Could Myrna have blabbed everything to her mother? With that thought, her resentment towards Myrna grew even more.

She couldn’t believe that before even officially joining the family, that bitch was already causing so much trouble.

[And there’s more.] Erik hesitated, but eventually continued, [Last night, I overheard something through their door - they were talking about asking you to move out after New Year.]

Serena stood there, dumbstruck.

Move out? Were her parents kicking her out of the Collins family? Not even the house next door was good enough for her now; they wanted her gone. Weren’t they the ones who always said they treated

her as their own daughter? Weren’t they supposed to be fair and loving? Why were they driving her away?

[Erik, did you really hear that?] Serena’s fingers trembled as she typed the message.

[I did hear it, but they were just discussing. I don’t know what they’ve decided in the end.]

Tears streamed down Serena’s face; eighteen years of being raised by them, and they could still be this heartless.

Even a pet would garner more affection.
