The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1742

Before, the girl had put on quite the show, acting as if she adored her sister, Bella, and she held Bella in the highest regard.

It was all a farce!!

Behind closed doors, she was actually bullying Bella.

Bella must have endured so much suffering, so many indignities at her hands.

"And there's even more," Eunice's gaze swept over them, "Back at our place, Serena would argue with Bella over simple breakfast

items like fluffy omelets and cheesy egg wraps."

Kenneth and Louisa were speechless by the shock.

Could someone really be that petty?

Fluffy omelets and cheesy egg wraps cost next to nothing, and besides, since when did Serena even like fluffy omelets?

"At the time, the chef knew she didn't like them, so he didn't prepare Serena's share. Clearly annoyed, she made ssnide

comments, leading anyone who didn't know better to think Bella had taken her favorite dish, leaving her with nothing to eat. But

as an aunt, how could | arrange only for those two breakfast items?"

The table was laden with a variety of delicious foods, yet Serena still competed with Bella over something so trivial.

Her pettiness was excessive, malicious!!

"And there's more. Serena once dragged Dad to go out for a walk in sub-zero temperatures, just to snap photos for Facebook to

show off how beloved she was at home, and how close she was with the family."

Eunice's gaze settled on them as she spoke calmly, "It was her pulling on Dad that caused him to fall. Afraid that others would find

out, she warned the servants to keep quiet, and she took it upon herself to apply medication, without even bothering to change his

wet clothes promptly."

Eunice took a sip of her coffee, then continued, "Bella found out about this and was furious. | heard Serena once complaining that

even though she hasn't been deprived of anything in this home, she gets less than Bella, that the gifts you give to Bella are more

and more expensive, and so she feels resentful."

Kenneth and Louisa were dumbfounded, unable to imagine Serena could be such an ungrateful person.

She was living a life of luxury as before, and yet, not only was she ungrateful, but she even had the audacity to speak such words

about their precious daughter!

How could she say such things?

"In Serena's eyes, if you buy Bella a purse, she expects an identical one," Eunice continued. "But you've actually had hundreds of

dresses custom-made for Bella, and none for her."

Louisa had to defend their actions, "But we've bought her clothes over the past eighteen years! If we were to tally it up, she's

received more than Bella, never less."

"But in Serena’s view, you're playing favorites, you're not treating them equally. She resents Bella, feeling you've wronged her."

Louisa glanced at Kenneth, unable to fathom that after eighteen years of care, they had raised such an ingrate!!

Kenneth was also filled with anger and disappointment. Serena had truly changed, becunrecognizable.

"After that argument with Bella, | even talked to her. She promisedto my face that she would change, but then." Eunice

pressed a button on the small remote.
