The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1604

In the past, vacations for Serena were bustling with life, as her friends would flock to her place, a giggling gaggle ready for fun. They’d hit up the local diner, catch the latest flick at the cinema, or pamper themselves with a spa day.

But this winter break, she found herself confined to the walls of her home.

Confined for so long that she and her friends barely crossed paths.

“I actually thought she realized her mistake and was considering giving her another chance. But it turns out, apologies are just part of her routine. They are just empty words.”

Serena had sounded so sincere that Kenneth nearly fell for it!

Louisa was heartbroken and disappointed, never imagining Serena could turn out this way!

It was utterly disheartening!

“It seems we were too lenient sending her to the guesthouse to reflect on her actions.” Louisa mused.

If the homemade biscuits with milk, the handwritten letters, the colds and fevers, including the heartfelt message she had sent today were a scheme to escape the guesthouse and return to the main house, then her heart must be incredibly terrifying.

Louisa didn’t dare to think about it, because on closer thought, she realized Serena was nothing like the person in her memories. She was becoming someone unrecognizable.

When had she changed? Was it since Bella left for home, or was it when Martha started stirring the pot.

“Mr. and Mrs. Collins, I swear on my family’s life that there is no falsehood in my words.” Edith suddenly knelt down, raising her right hand to swear, “You treat me like your own, and Ms. Bella has always treated me with genuine respect and kindness. I can’t bear to see you deceived any longer, and I can’t stand to watch her bully Ms. Bella like before, with such arrogance.”
