Over the next few days, the dynamic in the Vinton family shifted drastically. A bizarre, fanatical energy filled the household.
Silas, usually a strict and unsmiling man, completely broke character. He followed Serena around like a loyal puppy, eager to give her everything he owned.
"Serena, here's a top-tier penthouse in the city center of the United Realmon States. It's already under your name."
"Serena, The Vinton Group just opened a pink diamond mine in Hartville. It's yours now."
"Serena, I saw you driving Anna's old car. It's tainted, throw it away. I'm giving you my private jet to play with."
"Serena, I ordered a custom yacht under your name. Want to take it out this weekend?"
This was Silas's new normal. He was determined to empty his entire net worth for her.
Holden and Kiera were not about to be outdone.
"Shoo, shoo! Keep your junk away from her!" The two elders shoved their eldest son aside, presenting their own extravagant gifts like treasures.
Lately, the two of them couldn't stop smiling, bragging to anyone who would listen that their granddaughter was a genius among geniuses. Every single one of them had activated flawless, unconditional pampering mode.
Serena looked at the literal mountain of gifts and smiled helplessly. "Holden, Kiera, Silas, Douglas... I have to go back to Elyndor eventually. I can't take all this with me."
She really didn't need any of these material things. Her own net worth aside, she made millions daily without even trying And the Lancaster family back home had already given her so much she couldn't carry it all. Now her Vinton family was doing the exact same thing.
It was a heavy burden of love.
"Don't worry, we'll pack it all up and ship it back for you," the family insisted. They just wanted to make up for twenty years of lost affection all at once.
Douglas clapped his hands together. "If you ask me, Serena, you should just stay here in the United Realmon States. Elyndor is boring, too many rules and restrictions. It's much freer here."
Serena caught his underlying meaning. The gray-area operations they dealt with were indeed heavily restricted back in Elyndor.
"This is my home, and so is that one," Serena smiled. "I'll travel between both when I have time."
The Vinton family exchanged
glances, silently communicating. If
Serena liked Elyndor so much, shouldn't they move their main headquarters back there? They had only stayed in the United Realmon States for the elders' medical treatments. Now that Serena had
cured them, there was no reason to stay.

Moving back to Elyndor meant they could see her all the time and be her ultimate backing. The more they thought about it, the better the idea sounded!
Meanwhile, Isabella had become utterly invisible, completely marginalized by the family. She stood in the corner holding a fresh fruit platter, unable to get a word in. No one even noticed her.
She watched the Vinton family
shower Serena with gifts, practically
begging for her attention. And
hearing
the plot to move the entire
family to Elyndor just för her... her
teeth ground together in pure envy.
Just days ago, before coming here, she was the beloved foster daughter of the
Vinton family.
