The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 671

Was Serena playing dumb?
Did Serena mean she, as the person involved, felt awkward speaking out and needed an outsider to express it for her?
Thinking this way, Delia plucked up her courage and spilled the beans.
"As far as I know, Arabella sweet-talked Serena's parents into letting her not just become Arabella but also the adopted daughter of the Collins family. She moved into the Collins mansion, living the life of a rich girl, pampered and loved."
At this, Serena hurriedly pinched her.
Pain made Delia almost cry out. Was the matter she was talking about not important? Not serious enough?
So, Delia added, "Arabella bullies Serena a lot at home. When no one is around, she splashes water on Serena's face, ruins Serena's clothes, and even shoves Serena into the pool."
Hearing this, Serena started to sweat and again twisted her hand hard.
What a numbskull!
Delia thought, were these matters not serious enough?
After racking her brains, she did remember something!
"Right, Arabella also snatched Serena's fiancé, Romeo!"
At this point, Serena could no longer bear it. She coughed weakly a few times, asking dazedly, "What's happening? Where am I?"
Everyone looked at her speechlessly.
"Serena, you go ahead! Tell us all the things Arabella has done to bully you while Chasel is here!" Delia, still not understanding Serena's predicament, encouraged her, "Chasel will stand up for you."
"I splashed water on your face? Ruined your clothes? Pushed you into the pool?" Arabella squinted, looking at Serena with interest. "How come I don't know I've done these things?"
The Collins family had dozens of servants. If she had caused such a big scene, wouldn't someone have seen it?
"In front of Chasel, you dare not admit it? Where's the bravado you had when you were bullying Serena? Show it!" Delia stood up for her friend.
"As far as I know, every piece of clothing Serena wears is custom-made. Whether any of them has been ruined or if any is missing from the closet, I can make a call and find out."
Arabella said this and looked at Serena again. "As for when I splashed water on her face? Can you tell me when?"
"I don't remember." Serena lowered her head, looking somewhat scared.
What she meant was that Arabella did indeed splash water on her, but she couldn't remember which day it was!
"Great, Serena, do you dare to lie in front of Chasel? Do you think that if there's no surveillance in some places at home, you can make up facts at will?" Kelly was so angry that she just wanted to roll up her sleeves and give her a couple of punches.
Joyce and Mya hurriedly held her back, not letting her do anything rash.
Now, as long as Serena insisted that Arabella did splash water on her face and push her into the pool, then Arabella really can't explain!
Myrna worriedly looked at Arabella, but found Arabella smiling slightly and casually asking Delia.
"When did Serena tell you this?"
