Chapter 7 Scheme Rashad was the head of the Willard family . On top of that , he had a few mistresses on the side and even some illegitimate children . One of them was sharp and ruthless , and he despised Rashad . He could become Seryna's weapon . Rashad's three sons were each venomous than the last , but this time , things would be different . Seryna no longer clung to the illusion of family ties . She could ruin them all if she wanted to . " Stop that . Can't you just admit that Sera is amazing ? Now come eat breakfast." Tehila's face turned ghostly white , and the blood drained completely from her cheeks . She thought Seryna must be lying to their dad , trying to steal his attention . If Seryna surpassed her , her place in this family would collapse . She had to get rid of Seryna , no matter what it took . Rashad looked at Seryna's pretty face and smiled , " Sera , I've set you up with some etiquette lessons , the kind a noble lady is supposed to know . Since you're not too busy with studies right Chapter 7 Scheme now , it's a good time to learn . Here's a card . It's my little gift for you . Buy whatever you want ." Seryna took the card without hesitation . No one in their right mind said no to money. Had she not once craved their shallow affection , perhaps her fate would have been different . But Tehila and Jennett hadn't learned their lesson . Jennett couldn't hold back any longer . " Rashad , Tila needs a new violin now . She's already at level six and has won so many awards . It's time she gets a reward too ." Tehila's eyes lit up with excitement as she looked at Rashad . She wanted a black card , too . Suddenly , Seryna bowed her head , tears welling up in her eyes . She looked at Rashad through her glistening tears . " Dad , Mom is being so unfair . She knows how much I've suffered . I'm the one she carried for ten months and gave birth to . But when she sees you give me a card , she's trying to do the same for Tila . People who know the truth may say she's playing favorites , but those who don't will think Tila is her real daughter !" Chapter 7 Scheme Jennett was left speechless . Tehila trembled with rage . She wanted to rip Seryna apart . Why did Seryna always have to bring up who the real daughter was ?! " Alright , Sera , I know how wonderful you are and how much you've suffered . Don't cry . After breakfast , the etiquette instructor , Ammie Legg , will come to pick you up . You gotta study hard , okay ? " Seryna nodded meekly, her eyes full of affection as she gazed up at Rashad . " Mm - hmm ! Dad , I'll never let you down . I'm only this outstanding because of your amazing genes . No one but you has such a brilliant and beautiful daughter like me ! " " Hahaha ! " Rashad laughed heartily at Seryna's flattery . His amusement was palpable in every note of his laughter . Seryna smiled too . Having lived this life before , she wasn't about to let Tehila get the upper hand so easily . Tehila's eyes blazed with jealousy . Rashad had never laughed like that in front of her . But Jeremiah was due back tonight , and he would help her deal with Seryna . Chapter 7 Scheme Her three brothers didn't even bother to come home when Seryna was back . They wanted to show Seryna who was in charge and make it clear that she was the princess around here . Breakfast ended with Rashad in high spirits . After she saw Rashad off to work , Seryna didn't even spare a glance for Jennett as she made her way back to her room on the third floor . The room , about 300 square meters , was split into two parts . Right next to it was a big , bright walk - in closet that she really liked . As she sank into the soft bed , memories from her past life crept back . She had it tough before , and she pretty much had it coming . From what she remembered , Jeremiah would come back tonight . As the oldest son , he held absolute power in the company . Tehila often plotted against her , driving a wedge between them . Once he was back , Tehila would flirt with him , on and off , winning his complete trust and using that opportunity to scheme against her . Seryna let out a cold , derisive laugh . From now on , she wouldn't give Tehila any more chances to hurt her , no matter what came Chapter 7 Scheme next .
