The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1749

Why would Mother hit her??

"Mom, what's wrong. Did | do something wrong??"

Never before, even when she had made the gravest mistakes, had her mother laid a hand on her.

What was different today??

"Look at the mess you've made—" Louisa, seething with anger, pointed at the projection on the wall.

Eunice had set up a slideshow, and only now did Serena realize with utter shock that there was a projection on the wall!!

As the list of her past misdeeds unfolded before her eyes, including fighting with Arabella over a dress, splashing wine on Arabella,

slipping a drug into Arabella's drink, and even hiding the truth about a killer's death.

The more Serena saw, the colder and shakier she felt. Was this why Mother was confronting her?

Was it Eunice?!

Had Eunice gathered this evidence and presented it to her parents?

Why would Eunice want to hurt her??

Yes, it had to be Eunice. Only Eunice would do this because Eunice adored Arabella and disliked Serena, the outsider!

Serena's gaze was one of shocked disbelief, mixed with resentment, as she turned to look at Eunice, who sat on the couch still

exuding her usual charm.

"I told you, givea few days to wrap up sbusiness, and I'd cfor you."

Eunice's words sent a chill down Serena's spine, leaving her mind utterly blank.

What to do??

How could she explain herself??

Every single thing here was enough to send her parents into a fury.

They might even kick her out of the house.

What was she to do??

If only Martha were here, she'd have an idea.

But Arabella had caused Martha's death!!

Damn that Arabella!!

"With such damning evidence, how dare you try to squirm out of this—" Louisa, seeing her like this, grew even more incensed,

gritting her teeth, "At this point, you're still trying to make excuses?? How could the Collins family have raised such a heartless

creature—"

Hearing her mother's thunderous roar and scathing words, Serena was petrified, her tears stuck in her eyes, frozen in place.

Her mind went blank with fear, she didn't know how to explain, only managing to crawl over, blurting out in panic, "Mom, you've

got it all wrong, it's not what it looks like."

"You have no right to call'Mom'—nor to be my daughter—you soulless, venomous, cruel, despicable cur."

Just as Serena crawled to her feet, she was kicked away.

"You dare to live as nothing has happened and to bully my own daughter, how can you have the face to live in this world?? You're

the most terrifying, most vile, most disgusting creature I've ever seen." Louisa spat out, kicking Serena again with all her might.
