The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788

"Oh, by the way, the outfit that your parents are wearing today was a gift from Arabella, and yours,’ Martha added once again, "you might want to take a look at the seasonal wardrobe."

The seasonal wardrobe, as the name implies, was where the unwanted and unused clothes were temporarily stored. After a while, some of the better pieces would be picked out for donation, a kind of charitable act.

The wardrobe was packed to the brim, taking up a massive space.

It was teeming with clothes, too many to count.

Serena could hardly contain her surprise. When she went to take a look, she found her carefully selected pieces, some of which she had even paid a pretty penny for a designer to tailor specifically for her parents, all shoved to the back.

They were not worn, not even once!

She felt a pang of disappointment.

Tonight, Romeo's parents were coming over. Her beloved parents were wearing the designs of Arabella and not the ones she gave them. Did this mean they thought her gifts were not up to the mark?

“Serena, have you noticed that your fate is quite similar to these clothes? Initially, you thought you could catch your parents"

attention, but it turned out that they didn't even give those clothes a second look."

Serena's eyes dimmed.

Meanwhile, a glint of complacence flashed in Martha's eyes.

Yesterday, she had told Kenneth and Louisa that she would take Serena's clothes to be ironed. With their consent, she secretly moved these brand-new pieces to the seasonal wardrobe, intending to let Serena see and misunderstand.

The clothes Serena gave this time were mainly black and white. To avoid being found out, she took a few black and white pieces that Serena had given to Kenneth and Louisa half a year ago, tried to make them look worn and old, and asked if they wanted to keep them.
