Chapter 376
A neighbor then told her that her father and stepmother had gone on a vacation and were not at home.
As for Aria, the neighbor said she very rarely ever came here after having bought a big house
somewhere else and had been basically living
there.
Hearing this, Serenity started to worry if they had done this on purpose. They must have known that
she would visit her mother’s grave today, so they made sure not to be home.
10 million dollars! When she thought of her father’s demand, her whole body went numb all over. How
could she possibly find 10 million dollars to give him in her current state?!
After saying goodbye to the neighbor, Serenity quickly called Aria.
“Where are you?” she asked her sister. “I need to talk to you.”
“I’m sorry,” replied Aria in a voice tinged with cold contempt from the other end of the line, “but I’m
really busy right now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Then let me just ask you,” Serenity responded, “where has Dad moved my mother’s grave to?”
“I don’t know anything about that,” answered Aria with a hint of mockery in her voice.
“Then you must at least know where they are now, right?!”

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t know. How about this? I promise that I’ll tell them you were looking for them
when they get back, okay?”
Shortly afterward, Serenity could hear the voice of a man on the other end of the line saying, “I don’t
think this lipstick suits you.”
She was stunned because she recognized that voice to be Lucas’s.
She then heard her sister replying coquettishly, “But I thought you’d like this shade! Fine, I’ll choose a
different one.”
After saying that, Aria then went back to the phone and said, “Okay, I’ve got to go now. I’m in the
middle of something.
She then hung up the phone.
Serenity stared at the phone screen. An indescribable feeling arose inside her. She had just met Lucas
Gomez a few days ago, and he had said all those things to her… Yet, while he was not with Serenity,
he was with Aria, choosing lipstick with her.
For a man like Lucas Gomez, she must have been just something new that he wanted to try playing
with for a while. That was probably the only reason why he had said all those things to her. He might
have some feelings for her, but he was likely the sort of man who had feelings for many women at the
same time.
Just like the way he treated all his ex–girlfriends and the way he treated Aria now.
Once his interest had waned, this man would become the most ruthless and heartless man in the
world, just like the way Serenity had once seen him behave toward his ex–girlfriend back then.
And now, that ex–girlfriend of his who had used to be one of the hottest actresses in the entertainment
industry with at promising future had virtually vanished from the face of the earth.
Serenity put her phone back in her handbag. Her mood was in a downward spiral. There was no way
she could ever find 10 million dollars for her father, and now, she had no idea where to even find her

But even if… she found them one day, would they really tell her where her mother’s grave was?
When that day came, what would they ask from her in return?
She had always thought that her fate had been tragic enough, but now, it seemed that she was not at
rock bottom yet and that it could always get worse and worse.
Meanwhile, when Lucas saw Aria put her phone away, he asked her in an offhand manner, “Who was
that on the phone?”
“Just someone looking for my parents,” Aria replied, pretending to sound casual and nonchalant.
“They’re on vacation, so

that person called me to ask where they are.”
Aria then clung onto Lucas and asked Lucas, “Which shade of lipstick do you like, Lucas? From now
on, I promise I’ll only wear your favorite shade of lipstick!”
But Lucas only frowned slightly as his gaze once again fell on Arla’s lips. For some reason, the more
he saw the bright red shade on her lips, the more irritated he felt.
