The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2098

Martin was dumbstruck, unable to comprehend why Arabella would do something like this. Why was she so intent on exposing Serena's true colors?

"I caught someone," Arabella paused before continuing, "He confessed that it was he who pushed Florence down the stairs, and he orchestrated the car accident as well."

"What are you saying?" Martin's grip on his phone faltered, his whole world seemed to implode at the revelation.

He had thought that his mother's supposed suicide was a result of his stubborn decision to get engaged to Serena. It never crossed his mind that Serena could have orchestrated such a vicious act.

And his sister's car accident. He had always thought it was just a tragic mishap, especially since the traffic cameras had caught Jennifer's truck driver dozing off, leading to the crash.

But Fitch had just revealed that the driver had been drugged, indicating that the accident was premeditated.

Given Arabella's straightforward nature, she had no reason to lie to him. She must have concrete evidence to make such claims.

But why would Serena do such things? There was no deep-seated hatred between her and Martin's mother or sister. If there was any, it was only because his family didn't support their union. Was that enough for her to harbor such resentment and resort to murder?

"It gets worse. Serena also hired a hitman to kill me, thinking she could use Yolanda to do her dirty work. But she didn't anticipate that her accomplice would spill everything," Arabella stated, her voice calm. "What floor is Florence on?"

"The sixteenth." Martin was still reeling from the shock, struggling to process everything.

Soon enough, Arabella arrived on the sixteenth floor.

"Arabella." Martin hadn't expected her to arrive so quickly. A mix of gratitude and guilt washed over him.

She could have easily turned a blind eye, but she didn't!

Just then, the doctor issued another critical condition notice, and the young nurse reluctantly approached Martin with the form to sign.

Firstly, she didn't want to stay and give Martin any chance to plead with her.

Secondly, she feared that Martin might secretly find her hidden phone at the estate and hand it over to Arabella.

Watching the girl he once adored, Martin's emotions tangled into a complex knot.

Her gaze was cold, seemingly afraid he would cling to her, and she maneuvered her wheelchair towards the elevator.

Martin blocked her path and asked, "Where are you going?"

At that moment, he clung to a last shred of hope, wishing that Serena wasn't as heartless and terrifying as he feared.
