Chapter 1129 “Martha, over these past eighteen years, the total worth of the gifts I've received is not a paltry sum." “Serena, have you been brainwashed by sorneone again? You mustn't believe their nonsense. You're just a foster daughter now, an outsider to the Collins family. Of course they'll want to fob you off with as little money as possible" Serena was firm, “I believe Uncle Sampson doesn't think like that." “Was it your uncle who brainwashed you?" Martha knew she shouldn't have let Serena go out alone. She was too innocent, too susceptible to manipulation.

"Martha, | think Uncle Sampson's right. Arabella suffered for eighteen years growing up in the Murphy family. It's only natural that everyone wants to make it up to her now that she's back with her biological parents" “You're sympathizing with her now?" Martha was frustrated. She hadn't expected Sampson to change Serena's mind so easily with just a few words.

"She's part of this family. She didn't kickout the moment she cback, but letstay, enjoying the wealth and luxury that should have been hers. It's like she's sharing her fortune and her family with me." “Foolish girl, this is not sharing. You've been with the family for eighteen years. They're willing to pay for this bond. The gifts they give, the care they show, have nothing to do with Arabella. It's due to the bond formed over these eighteen years that they're willing to do this for you." “But Martha, she was switched at birth. The family feels guilty about her. If she asked to get rid ofusing this quilt, there's a high chance the family would agree." "Sweetheart, even if they let you leave, they would still worry about you. They would still take care of you in their own ways. Do you know why? Because for the past eighteen years, they've loved you like their own daughter! This bond, formed over eighteen years, can't be severed just because Arabella says so." Serena lowered her head, remaining silent for a while before speaking, "But Martha, | still think Uncle Sampson makes sense." Her parents still treated her as their daughter, throwing her grand feasts.

Her brothers still treated her as their sister, gifting her things she liked.

And Uncle Sampson wasn't biased. The worth of his gift was the sas previous years.

Serena put herself in Arabella's shoes, "If | were her, | couldn't be as magnanimous as she is, allowingto stay and share her status, wealth and family. She's already very generous." "Oh dear.” Hearing Serena say this, Martha sighed heavily, “When you're bullied by Arabella again, you'll understand that I'm looking out for you." "Martha, she also gavea gift." “What?” Martha was taken aback.

“She gavea Christmas gift. It's a calligraphy piece." Serena described the scene as it happened.

Upon hearing what Arabella had written, Martha scoffed, ‘She's warning you not to be too greedy. | knew she was up to no good.

She's trying to win over the family by giving you a gift, while subtly implying something else." “But she's Labella after all. Each of her characters is worth a fortune. What | gave her in return was just a cheap bracelet." Normally, Serena would disdain such a bracelet, but Arabella didn't mind. She even reciprocated with a valuable gift.

If they could be real sisters, that wouldn't be so bad.

“it was just a thought.” Serena knew Arabella wouldn't be friends with anyone.

In her eyes, it seemed that there was only room for ambition.
