The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855

"Ms. Serena?” Edith held a vase, perplexed. "I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"You must have tipped her off! That's why she suddenly called and whisked Clark away; Serena fumed. "Everyone in this house knows you're her lapdog!"

"Serena, looking after Ms. Bella was a task assigned to me by the lady of the house. I'm just doing my job. How have I become a ‘lapdog’ in your eyes, unworthy even of being a human? I wasn't aware of Clark's sudden change of plans, and I believe it has nothing to do with Ms. Bella. It's just a coincidence."

"You're still arguing!"

That damn servant! Not only was she defending herself, but she was also defending Arabella!

What had Arabella done to bewitch her?

"Clark was about to get into the car, and then that conveniently timed call came through, and he left? There were plenty of other times throughout the day to call. Why that exact moment?"

Edith felt wronged. "You should be asking Clark, and he's the one involved. I don't know anything. You're blaming the wrong person."

"What, now you're using Clark to pressure me?" Serena looked at Edith and the few trembling servants behind her. She couldn't help but sneer. "That's right, you all think you're something special now, climbing up Bella's big tree, not giving a damn about anyone else."

"Serena, I've never thought that way. Whether in the eyes of the master and mistress or us servants, you're always the lady of this house."

"Who among you has ever treated me like a real lady?" Serena was so furious she knocked the vase out of Edith's hands.

The vase fell to the floor, shattering with a crisp sound. The junior maids were frightened and hid behind Edith, not daring to look up.

Edith was startled and thought Serena was being unreasonable today and too much.
