The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949

In that household, only Martha was truly devoted to her, treating her with the utmost kindness.

"I do have a suggestion" Martha proposed while rubbing her back. "Before Mrs. Collins exposes you as a false heiress, you're still considered the genuine Miss Collins in everyone's eyes. Before the announcement, why not secure a good marriage for yourself? Use the Collins name as a stepping stone to leap into another wealthy family. You could take a considerable wedding gift with you. Wasn't that better than enduring the hostilities here?"

“But.” Serena hesitated. She was only a freshman in college and didn't want to rush into marriage.

Most importantly, she still held a sliver of hope for this family.

She fantasized that they would treat her kindly, that they would change their minds and treat her as in the past.

“I've done some research,’ Martha continued. "On the global billionaire list, Romeo sits at the top. The second to the eleventh are much older. The thirteenth is a playboy. The fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth are all women.

The eighteenth and nineteenth don't fit. All in all, I think the best match for you is the thirty-sixth on the list—the Cooper family we were discussing."

A while back, when Louisa discovered Serena was still harboring hopes for Romeo, Martha quickly covered for her, lying that Serena already had a boyfriend.

Martin Cooper had been pursuing Serena since middle school for a full six years. After the college entrance exams, Martha lied that Serena was touched by Martin's sincerity and was giving him a chance to court her.

She assured everyone that Serena had no inappropriate thoughts about Romeo.
