CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: ACTUALLY, THIS WAS MEANT FOR SERENA

Cassia Everett returned to the Everett Family and immediately saw the household servants busy setting up the living room. Most eye-catching was the Crystal Piano inlaid with 500,000 Swarovski crystals placed in the center.

Cassia’s eyes were instantly glued to the piano, unable to look away, "It’s so beautiful! This piano must be a gift from Fifth Brother to me!"

It must be that Niall Everett knew how much she had sacrificed for the piano over the years and felt particularly sorry for her. So, he bought this Crystal Piano as a surprise to make her happy!

Seeing Niall Everett coming downstairs, Cassia couldn’t wait and rushed toward him.

"Fifth Brother, I knew you treat me best! You even bought this Crystal Piano for me! I really love it, thank you, Fifth Brother!"

She knew that her decade-long relationship with Niall could not be rivaled by Serena Everett, who had just returned!

Although he gave Serena a black card to spend, he gifted her a luxurious, exquisite Crystal Piano. It seemed that in his heart, she was much more important than Serena!

Seeing Cassia’s joyful and excited expression, Niall had a hard time telling her that the piano wasn’t for her.

"Cassia, actually this Crystal Piano..."

Before he could finish, Cassia quickly interrupted, "I know, I know, Fifth Brother, you wanted to give me a big surprise, so you didn’t tell me in advance, right?"

Serena happened to walk in at this moment and saw the scene. Cassia couldn’t help but flaunt proudly as she walked up to her.

"Sister, this is the Crystal Piano Fifth Brother gave me. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so beautiful, I can’t even bear to play it!"

Hearing those words, Serena’s delicate porcelain-white face showed no change, but Niall couldn’t help but slap his forehead in frustration.

This was a surprise he had meticulously prepared for Serena, and it was all ruined now!

"Cassia, this Crystal Piano isn’t for you..."

"This Crystal Piano isn’t for me..." Cassia, still immersed in her immense joy, repeated blankly before she suddenly realized, "Fifth Brother, what did you say?!"

Niall must have been joking with her; how could this Crystal Piano not be for her?!

"Cassia, I’m sorry, this Crystal Piano is a welcome gift I prepared for Serena!" Niall’s face showed a mix of embarrassment and apology, but mostly determination.

This was a gift he specially bought for Serena and he couldn’t just give it to someone else!

Hearing that Niall had given the Crystal Piano to Serena, Cassia felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face, which stung hotly.

Instantly, her gaze filled with extreme animosity fell on Serena.

It was all Serena’s fault for not staying away! Why didn’t she just die out there?!

If she hadn’t come back, the family’s affection would all be hers, and the Crystal Piano from Niall would definitely be hers!

Cassia felt intense resentment in her heart, but she didn’t show it, only letting her eyes fill with tears, looking pitifully aggrieved.

"So, this Crystal Piano was meant for Sister, and I was being presumptuous..."

Serena watched her fake a pitiful look with cold eyes, her red lips drawing slightly, as she spoke with a cutting remark.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother, I really like the Crystal Piano."

Sure enough, with those words spoken, Cassia’s face became even more unsightly, nearly unable to maintain her pitiful facade.

"Serena, as long as you like it. I was originally planning to surprise you, but it got messed up!"

Listening to Niall’s words, Cassia grew even more upset, thinking he was blaming her for ruining the surprise meant for Serena!

Niall finally noticed Cassia’s off emotion and comforted her, "Cassia, don’t be sad. Fifth Brother will buy you another gift, okay?"

What other gift could compare to the Crystal Piano?!

Cassia felt intense anger, yet shed a few tears, shaking her head, appearing weak and fragile, softening people’s hearts.

"It’s okay, Fifth Brother, you don’t need to give me another gift, I don’t want anything!"

The servant who had always flattered Cassia spoke up, seeing her weep with such grievance.

"Sixth Miss, please give the Crystal Piano to Seventh Miss, you don’t understand how much it means to her!"

Hearing such self-righteous words, Serena’s cold eyes turned even colder, then her piercing gaze fell like a knife on the servant.

"Whether or not I give away my things, when is it your place as a servant to interfere?"

The servant was at a loss for words, their face alternating between red and white.

Serena withdrew her gaze, her tone indifferent yet carrying a strong sense of authority.

"Know your place."

This remark was not only directed at the servant but also served as a warning to Cassia.

Cassia, understanding the warning, immediately retorted sarcastically.

"Sister, she was just trying to speak up for me with good intentions, there’s no need to make such a fuss! Fifth Brother, tell Sister not to be so sensitive!"

"Serena is right; as a servant, she overstepped. She needs to understand her place, and you should go to the butler to collect your pay and leave. We don’t need servants like you!"

Niall did not think Serena was wrong; rather, he believed she was absolutely right.

This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about her being bullied in the future!

Niall was actually siding with Serena!!!

Cassia was nearly furious, suppressing her anger as she spoke, "Fifth Brother, she only misspoke, it’s too harsh to kick her out of the Everett Family for it!"

If the servant were kicked out, wouldn’t that be indirectly slapping her face? After that, none of the servants would pay attention to her; they’d all flock to curry favor with Serena!

"Cassia, I know you’re kind, but Serena is right. Someone who doesn’t know their place must be kicked out of the Everett Family!"

Listening to him call out Serena’s name, Cassia couldn’t hold it in any longer. He not only gave the Crystal Piano to Serena but now every word sided with her. It seemed that in his heart, there was only Serena!

She used to be the center of the family, but now everyone favored Serena!
