The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1546

Kenneth and Louisa were both taken aback; they had never imagined that Serena could be so crass and rude to the help.

At that time, Clark had just returned home, and to everyone's surprise, Serena had already started a covert rivalry with Bella.

"Not only did Serena hurl insults, but she also knocked over the flowers | had given to Ms. Arabella Collins, shattering the vase."

Even now, Edith felt a pang of sadness when recounting the incident because the surprise had been carefully prepared for

Arabella.

"It's all because of that Martha, always leading Ms. Serena Collins astray, not just brainwashing her, but also the others. She

claimed that for the past eighteen years, it was Ms. Serena Collins who was pampered by you, and it was she who was adored to

the bone by all five of your sons. With such deep affection, Ms. Serena Collins could make anyone she wanted to leave, just like

that, and Martha made it clear that we should all be siding with Ms. Serena Collins."

"That's outrageous! Absolutely unconscionable!" Louisa exclaimed, infuriated by the thought of Martha being such a troublemaker,

stirring the pot wherever she went, "We let her off too easily back then. Had | known, | would have never let her go so lightly."

She would have made sure Martha paid dearly for her actions!

Kenneth patted her back, trying to soothe her, "Don't let it get to you; let Edith continue."

If it hadn't been for Edith spilling the beans, they would have remained oblivious to the true faces of Martha and Serena.

"l even tried to warn Serena not to be led astray by Martha, but | guess she didn't take my words to heart. Ms. Arabella Collins is

truly kind-hearted. She noticed | was looking pale and gavestonics to boost my energy. She even toldto cdirectly

to her if | needed anything, promising to helpout. Everyone was praising Ms. Arabella Collins because she genuinely helped us

a lot, teaching us how to dress, how to get rid of acne, and how to improve our skin. But when Martha and Serena overheard this,

Martha accused Ms. Arabella Collins of winning our support, wondering why we didn't regard Ms. Serena Collins with the same

esteem."

"That's utterly malicious!" Kenneth slammed his fist on the table, regretting ever leaving Martha by Serena's side. With such a

twisted mind, how could she possibly raise a child properly!

"Exactly, we all tried to explain that it was us who sought advice from Ms. Arabella Collins, that she had nothing to do with it, that

she wasn't buying us off. But Martha kept whispering to Ms. Serena Collins that because she didn't give us presents, we were

always singing Ms. Arabella Collins' praises behind her back, implying that Ms. Serena Collins was stingy."

Kenneth and Louisa were almost beside themselves with rage, unable to believe that the outwardly sweet and approachable

Martha could be such a gossip behind their backs!

"Martha even went as far as to say that what Ms. Arabella Collins gave us was worthless junk, not even fit for display, and that Ms.

Serena Collins would be embarrassed to give us such things," Edith's voice was tinged with anger as she spoke.

For them, it was the thought behind Ms. Arabella Collins' gifts that mattered, not someone else's unsolicited opinion.

That Martha was detestable! She did nothing but disparage others!

For eighteen years, Martha had been receiving gifts from Serena, yet Edith and the other servants were chastised just for accepting

smedicine, coffee beans and teas from Ms. Arabella Collins.

Thinking about it now still made her blood boil.
