FreeNovel“I had no idea they were my biological parents.” Serena’s voice trembled, her face drained of color as tears streamed down her
cheeks. “I only found out just now.”
To make matters worse, her birth mother had died that very day, having fallen from the eighteenth floor.
Louisa was livid with rage. “Your mother brought a gang to kidnap my daughter, they pulled her hair, whipped her, slapped her
twice. Today, I'm going to get justice for my girl.”
“Mom.” Serena was petrified.
Before she could beg for mercy, Louisa raised her hand and struck Serena with a series of harsh slaps.
Serena's face swelled from the blows, a trickle of blood running from the corner of her mouth. Just then, Edith approached with a
rolling pin in hand.
“Ma’am, we didn’t have a whip, but this should do.”
The rolling pin, typically used by chefs to roll out dough, now found a different use.

Serena was both angry and desperate, never having imagined Edith would kick her when she was down, fetching a rolling pin from
the kitchen.
The rolling pin was solid wood, as if they wished her dead.
Louisa, unable to find anything else suitable, seized the rolling pin with fierce determination and struck hard.
Serena instinctively raised her hands to protect herself, but the blow from the wooden rolling pin was so painful that it drained the
color from her face.
“You watched Bella get kidnapped, threatened, humiliated. You didn’t plead for her once. Instead, you reminded your mother to be
careful of Bella wearing a wire or a hidden camera. Fearing any slip-ups.” Louisa lashed out at Serena, “You traitorous, heartless
wretch.”
Serena collapsed onto the glass shards, her palms and the backs of her hands pierced by countless pieces. Pain coursed through
her body, causing her to tremble, nearly fainting from the shock.
“Did you think that without Bella here, you could take her place? With Bella gone, you could be the darling Miss Collins again? Did
you think without Bella, your engagement to Romeo could just carry on?”
“l never thought that.”
As soon as Serena spoke, Louisa swung the rolling pin again, landing another punishing blow.
The rolling pin struck her shoulder, and Serena’s body went limp from the pain, a sharp sensation overwhelming her senses,
making her gasp for air, realizing any further struggle was futile.
Louisa was consumed by fury, her voice cracking, “If it wasn’t for Bella's own wit, that vile woman would've disfigured her,
chopped off her hands and feet, pushed her off the building. She even said she wanted to grind Bella's flesh and flush her down
the drain. Absolutely monstrous and appalling!”
Perhaps too enraged and disappointed in Serena, tears streamed down Louisa’s face, a mix of sorrow and anger.
How could she have raised such a monster.
For eighteen years, she was blind, treating this monster like the jewel of her life.

Serena was terrified, tears flowing like a fountain, crawling over the glass shards to clutch at Louisa’s pant leg, pleading
desperately.
“Mom, | was wrong. | was momentarily blinded, and | don’t dare ask for your forgiveness. Just please don’t harm yourself over
someone like me. It's not worth it.”
Louisa’s fury was like a thunderous storm, “Stop with your false displays of remorse in front of me.”
Serena sobbed miserably, “Mom, | truly realize my mistake now.”
Louisa looked at her with cold disdain, “When you video called your mother, seeing all her henchmen, you weren't surprised at all.
That means you've known for a long tthat she was with Doom, yet you kept it from us, complicit in her crimes. Tell me, what
exactly was she and Erik plotting by infiltrating the Collins family for all these years?!”
Louisa couldn't believe they were there just to be with their biological daughter.
There had to be another agenda.
Over the past eighteen years, the Collins family had weathered many storms, perhaps orchestrated by those two.
