The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2011

[My aunt's a nurse at Hope Hospital, swore it was the real deal.]

Online, everyone was gabbing about Arabella's medical miracles.

Meanwhile, Eunice caused quite the stir with three videos she leaked online.

One video showed Serena at the Style Plaza, shamelessly tussling with Arabella over a dress.

Another caught Serena throwing a fit outside a chic boutique after they refused to sell her their goods, hurling insults at the staff from the sidewalk.

And the third? A doozy where Serena, aiming to drug Arabella, bungled it and drugged herself instead. The result? A spectacle at her aunt's house.

In that video, Serena was hugging a tree, convinced it was Romeo, pouring her heart out. The servants tried to clue her in, telling her it's just a tree, but she wouldn't let go, even slapped one for their trouble.

She ranted to that tree, spewing venom about Arabella, dreaming aloud about marrying Romeo and having kids.

Once those videos hit the internet, Serena's reputation tanked.

The court of public opinion was ruthless, slinging mud at Serena for her shamelessness.

[Who on earth raised that nightmare? I felt a twinge of pity seeing her bullied by Alma in the elevator, carried out on a stretcher by the paramedics. Now it's clear, there's always a reason to pity the pitiful.]

[Alma did a good job!]

[How did she not knock some sense into her?]

Alma knew this was her moment. She waltzed into the public eye and, sure enough, the lurking reporters swarmed her.

"I'm really sorry for hogging the spotlight with my personal drama. Truth is, Serena's been off the rails since Bella came back, and I just couldn't stand by and watch. Like that last blowup at the mall, she was mouthing off at Bella again. I just lost it, so a few girlfriends and I went to have a 'chat' with her by the stairwell."
