"If that's the case, you should realize the price you'll have to pay once you've made your choice."
Edward Selwyn clenched his hands into fists, struggling to suppress the turmoil within.
He originally thought that Serena Summers married Lucas Shaw simply because she was forced.
He never expected her to go to such lengths for him!
"I know."
Serena's voice trembled, and she softly replied, "Big brother, I have no other choice."
The young girl's eyes were red-rimmed, filled with clear tears, looking both pitiable and stubborn.
Once Serena made up her mind, not even nine bulls could pull her back.
As her eldest senior brother, he knew this better than anyone.
Edward Selwyn's mind hazily drifted back to the first time he encountered this girl, seventeen years ago.
At that time, Serena was just three years old, a tiny bundle curled up in a pile of trash, already delirious from hunger.
She was filthy all over, like a broken, abandoned doll without a hint of spirit or vivacity.
