Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 72 - The Ungrateful Wolf
72: Chapter 72 The Ungrateful Wolf
72 -72 The Ungrateful Wolf
Grace Summers was momentarily lost in thought before quickly gathering herself.
“It’s okay, brother, I’m alright…
you heard wrong just now!
This has nothing to do with Serena!
It’s all my fault…”
She choked up, her eyes red but stubbornly holding back tears.
Evan Summers saw it and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
He furrowed his brow and urgently asked, “What exactly happened?
Don’t cry just yet, if it really is Serena’s fault, I will stand up for you.”
Grace sniffled and retold the story of how her fans took revenge on her behalf, embellishing the details.
“It’s all my fault for not managing my fans properly, leading them to become so extreme!
But she didn’t mean it, she just felt sorry for me.”
“The Shaw Family has filed a police report, and it’s become a huge mess online; there’s a lot of fans who are now withdrawing their support!”
The more Grace spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
She had worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years and had finally managed to gain ten million fans.
Now, because of this incident, many of her fans had switched sides, with some even turning into haters.
The internet was filled with criticism, and the trending searches were unrelentingly hot.
At this rate, her public image would be completely ruined!
It’s all that little bitch Serena’s fault!
If it weren’t for her, she would still be a star shining brightly, almost scandal-free and positively perceived!
Mrs.
Summers, on the side, chimed in: “Ever since Serena was brought back here, our home has never had peace!
When she wasn’t here, we were all fine, but look at us now…”
When Serena was mentioned, Mrs.
Summers could hardly contain her anger.
Toward this biological daughter, her heart was filled only with resentment.
Seeing Grace cry so pitifully, Mrs.
Summers felt both heartache and anger, “As expected, she wasn’t raised by our family; Serena didn’t have any sympathy, and even let the Shaw Family file a police report, ruining Grace’s reputation!”
Grace’s weeping and Mrs.
Summers’ complaining echoed in Evan’s ears, making him suddenly feel irritable.
In the past, he would have shared their anger.

But for some reason, he now just felt annoyed.
“If you and father hadn’t been so extreme with Serena, would this have happened?” Evan retorted irritably and coldly.
He sat on the sofa, frowning deeply.
“Evan, what’s wrong with you today?
Why are you always speaking up for that dead girl?” Mrs.
Summers noticed Evan’s abnormality and asked with a cold, frowning voice,
“Nothing.”
Evan took a deep breath, concealing the frustration in his eyes.
“I just feel that Serena didn’t do anything wrong.
This incident was caused by Grace in the first place.
If that hot water had really splashed on Serena, she could have been disfigured!
If it were me, I would have called the police too!”
Evan was just being rational and not because he cared about Serena.
Grace always used to mention how important a girl’s face was.
Grace indeed took her face very seriously, spending countless amounts of money on it each year.
If Serena had been disfigured, her whole life would probably be ruined.
“How can you be so unsupportive?
Besides, isn’t Serena fine?
We took her in and provided her with good food and care, only to end up raising an ungrateful person!” Mrs.
Summers secretly clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with malice.
Evan had always thought of his mother as dignified and gentle, and he had never imagined she could show such a venomous expression.
He was stunned for a long while, thinking he had seen wrong.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at Mrs.
Summers again, who had already reverted to her usual gentle demeanor.
Evan slowly exhaled.
He thought to himself, how could his mother show such an expression?
He must be seeing things!
“Wuwuwu, big brother, you don’t care about me at all!
I’m in so much pain, and you still speak for others!” Hearing Evan Summers repeatedly mention Serena Summers, Grace Summers immediately felt displeased.
She hung her head, whimpering sadly.
Listening to Grace’s soft crying, Evan’s heart immediately softened.
After all, she was the little sister he had doted on since childhood, seeing Grace so upset made Evan feel distressed too.
“Alright, alright, stop crying, it’s all my fault…”
Evan quickly sat down beside Grace, gently stroking the top of her hair, his tone becoming ever more gentle.
“Big brother, wuwuwu…
I believe my fans were just impulsive, she definitely didn’t do it on purpose!
If she gets detained, she’ll definitely end up with a record, her life will be over!
Can you help me, big brother?”
Evan silently sighed in his heart, his Grace was truly naive and kindhearted.
However, this matter involved the Shaw Family, and Evan couldn’t think of a good solution right away.
As he frowned in thought, Grace continued, “In a few days, I’m going to be engaged to Brother Everett.
If this blows up, I don’t know what Aunt Parker will think of me.”
Evan gently stroked Grace’s hair, soothing her in a low voice, “Aunt Parker likes you so much, she definitely wouldn’t let such a trifle come between you and her.
The priority is to minimize the negative public opinion about you.”
Grace raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, looking at Evan with reddened eyes, “Big brother, what should I do then?”
Evan pursed his lips in silence for a long time, then slowly began to speak, “Do you have contact information for Serena?
I’ll talk to her.”
Grace and Mrs.
Summers both fell silent.
How could they possibly have Serena’s contact information?
To them, Serena was nothing more than an insignificant invisible person.
Grace frowned and said, “Sister’s phone broke the second day after returning to the Summers Family, she probably doesn’t have a phone now, right?”
As she said this, Grace suddenly felt guilty.
Serena’s phone had been broken by her.
But it wasn’t on purpose.
When Serena had first come to the Summers Family, she had intended to find Serena, only to discover that Serena wasn’t in her room.
The phone left forgotten on the table kept ringing, so she reached out to answer it.
But before she could check it, she was startled by a cold voice.
The phone fell to the ground in response.
An old model phone, not at all resistant to falls.
Just like that, it shattered.
The battery flew out too.
The screen cracked into a spider web.
She was scared at the time, instantly her eyes reddened.
Evan happened to pass by, seeing her eyes red-rimmed, he thought she was being bullied by Serena.
Thus, he gave Serena a fierce scolding.
Evan clearly remembered this incident too, his expression turning somewhat ugly.
Anger flickered in his dark eyes, “Didn’t I tell you to take her to buy a new phone?
Didn’t you buy her one?”
Evan remembered instructing Grace to take Serena to pick out a new phone.
Although Evan was unwilling to admit he scolded the wrong person, he didn’t want to be harsh on Serena over such a trivial matter.
Grace guiltily lowered her head, nervously defending herself, “I, I was going to take her, but then…”
Then, she completely forgot about it.
