The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1437

Chapter 1437

She planned to blame all her behavior on the classic excuse of having been drunk.

After all, getting a little wild after a few drinks was a common enough tale.

"I'll go freshen up. Would you mind asking someone to tidy up my room?"

Serena said, feeling the uncomfortable stickiness all over her skin.

Half an hour later.

When she got down the stairs after her shower, she immediately noticed Eunice sitting in the prime spot on the couch, looking at her tablet.

Eunice was browsing the financial news and looked up at the sound. "Feeling better now?"

“Aunt Eunice." Serena's voice was timid, afraid that Eunice might be about to settle scores.

Eunice put her tablet aside and with a commanding presence instructed, "Call the doctor over."

“Yes, Mrs. Griffith” The servant hurried to get Dr. Justin.

“You put on quite the show last night trying to break a table with your bare hands and ended up with a fractured wrist, so I called the doctor to have a look; Serena had a creeping feeling that Eunice was settling scores with her but expressed her gratitude nonetheless, "Thank you, Eunice."

“Serena, take a seat, and let's have a look at that hand,” said Justin, a renowned orthopedic surgeon and one of the Griffith family's trusted doctors.

Sitting down on the couch, Serena could feel Eunice’s penetrating gaze and began to explain, "I had too much to drink last night and did a lot of ridiculous things. I wouldn't have believed it myself if the servant hadn't told me. I'm so sorry for my behavior, Eunice. I didn't mean to be so disrespectful"

Eunice, cutting straight to the point, asked, “Have you always had feelings for Romeo? Haven't you moved on?"

But Serena insisted, “Eunice, why would I drug myself? What's in it for me?"

"What if you meant to harm someone else but ended up harming yourself by mistake?"

Eunice's suggestion left Serena stunned and in disbelief.

Eunice always had an air of cool authority, and right now, her gaze was piercing.

Facing Eunice's imposing demeanor, Serena felt the weight of her gaze.

Eunice was Serena’s elder, her presence and intensity outmatching Serena's.

Just then, Serena faintly heard her grandfather's footsteps descending the stairs, and tears welled up as she asked with a hoarse, aggrieved voice, “What are you implying, Eunice? Everyone at the dinner table last night is family. Not to mention the years we've spent together, even my sister, who's only been back in the family for half a year, has given me precious gifts and shown me nothing but kindness. How could I harm anyone? Why would I harm you all?"
