She opened her bag and checked the contents. All her belongings were still there. As for her phone, she recalled that it had been sna tched away from her at the Foster’s house when they discovered it. Her phone was turned off, so she turned it back on only to find that there were tons of missed calls and unread messages.
Some of those were from her grandmother, some from Lisa, and others were from unknown numbers.
Serenity had a good guess of why her grandmother would call her. As for Lisa.. She scrolled through her phone and found that Lisa had called her more than twenty times, so she called her back right away.
Lisa picked up almost as soon as the call went through and asked, “Is that you, Serenity?”
“Yes,” she replied, “it’s me. I… turned off my phone yesterday, and I saw your calls just now when I turned it back on.”

Lisa sighed in relief and said, “Oh my Go d, I was so worried when I couldn’t call you last night. You told me you were going to your grandmother’s house for the New Year’s Eve dinner. I was afraid that something might happen to you since your. grandmother is the only one who treats you well in that family. The rest of them just want to kick you while you’re down.”
Lisa frantically added that she had been trying to call Serenity since last night till this morning, but the call just would not get through. The more she thought about it, the mare anxious she got. She finally decided that if she was unable to call Serenity by noon, she would rush to Serenity’s grandmather’s house right away since she already knew the address anyway.
“By the way,” Lisa asked with concern, “did they do anything awful to you last night?”
“They tried to sell me off to a psychopath as his wife,” Serenity replied without concealing anything, and they wanted to use the money to buy a house.”
She then proceeded to tell Lisa about everything that had transpired yesterday.
“How could there be such brazenly savage people?!” Lisa exclaimed through gritted teeth. “How are you? Did they hurt you?
“I’m fine,” she replied. “Jack saved me just in time, so nothing happened to me.”
“Where are you now? Are you back at your place? I’ll come to find you.”
“Don’t bother,” she told Lisa hastily, “1… I’m not back home yet. I’m with Jack right now. I’ll come to see you after I’ve gotten home.”
Hearing this, Lisa reminded her to be careful and added, “Those relatives of yours must be taught a harsh lesson this time, otherwise, if you let them go this time, they’ll surely try to sell you off again next time.”
“Okay, okay, I got it.”
