The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1767

As tears welled up in Louisa's eyes again, she quickly reached up to wipe them away. "Why bring her up? I'm just heartbroken over

Bella's situation."

She revealed the truth about Bella being the leader of Mafia Flame, and the grandparents couldn't believe that their granddaughter

was someone so significant.

It was a reputation hard-earned through blood and tears.

All those loyal people following her showed how she was worthy of their love and respect.

Their granddaughter was truly remarkable.

It was heart-wrenching.

The grandparents silently wiped away their tears, proud and yet just as pained for their granddaughter's plight as Louisa.

"Where has she gone? Why don't | see her?" Belinda scanned the room, not spotting her beloved granddaughter.

If she wasn't busy, she would have definitely been here to greet them.

"She's on her way back from overseas, should be here in a few hours. Let's go inside to talk," Louisa suggested, taking coats from

the servants and helping her mother and father put them on.

Eunice wrapped the scarves she had prepared around their necks.

The weather was getting colder, and they linked arms with the elders, guiding them into the main house where a fireplace warmed

the room.

Darren, having weathered many storms over the years, sipped his tea before asking, "What's to be done about that child?"

Louisa knew he was referring to Serena and glanced at her sister-in-law.

Eunice nodded, encouraging her to speak. Louisa began, "Mom, Dad, you've already heard about her character from my sister-in-

law, but what I'm about to tell you might be too much to bear. | hope you're prepared."

"Could there be anything worse?"

Belinda had been shocked and furious upon learning of the child's actions the day before, and now, judging by her daughter's

expression, there seemed to be more severe issues they were unaware of.

Louisa signaled to a servant, who immediately went to fetch the family doctor to wait in the nearby parlor.

Once the doctor was on standby, Louisa played the security footage that Bella had sent. It showed Martha's people kidnapping

Arabella, Serena not only refusing to help but also wanting to carve words into Arabella's face, making her kneel and beg.

Darren couldn't handle the shock. He clutched his chest, gasping for air, visibly shaken.

Was this the Serena he knew?

No, she didn't carry the Collins name; she was the child of Erik and Martha.

And the three of them dared to bully Bella.

"Dad, take it easy. Breathe deeply." Louisa quickly patted his back.

Belinda was too outraged to form a complete sentence, "She actually, actually."

"Mom?" Eunice hadn't expected her mother to faint from the overwhelming emotions, and she called out, "Doctor, quickly!"

Several doctors rushed from the parlor, medical kits in hand.

"How could she beclike this." Darren's vision went dark as he collapsed.

Had Eunice not caught him in time, he would have hit the floor.

Kenneth and Bard laid them out on the sofas, thankfully spacious enough for them to lie flat.
