The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2078

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.

Martin and Serena's engagement party was in full swing at the Century Grand Hotel.

The intewas abuzz with news of their wedding, with Martin having invited over a hundred journalists to their engagement

party, in addition to business partners and all his friends.

Except for Fitch, all his buddies showed up to support them.

He didn't invite family or personal connections. Just the people Martin had met were enough to throw a lavish wedding.

When the auspicious moment arrived, Serena, dressed in a stunning wedding gown designed by a top designer and wearing a

priceless tiara and jewels, was elevated from beneath the stage into the view of all the guests.

Today, she wasn't in a wheelchair but had a supporting chair hidden under the voluminous skirt of her gown. Because her dress

was so full, the guests couldn't tell there was an issue with her legs and, seeing her posture, assumed she was standing on the

stage.

Led by the master of ceremonies, Martin walked down the aisle, holding Serena's hand under the gaze of all the guests, uttering

his vows with deep affection and devotion.

As petals rained down, Martin slipped a diamond ring worth a fortune onto Serena's finger.

Amidst thunderous applause, they kissed. To avoid any slip-ups, Martin spoke only a few words of thanks to the guests before

leading Serena off the stage, out of sight.

A celebrity took the stage to sing a fitting song titled "I Do," captivating the guests below.

Backstage, Martin asked Serena if she was tired, if it was hard to rely on the supporting chair. Serena shook her head gently; she

wasn't done making her mark yet.

Suddenly, Martin received a phone call that changed his expression. "What? Okay, I'll be right there."

Serena, seeing him hang up, asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"My mom tried to jump from a building, she's been taken to the hospital. | need to go."

Martin moved to leave, but Serena grabbed his hand, "I'm coming with you. I'm your wife now!"

After all, she was part of the Cooper family now!

Martin glanced at her flouncy wedding gown, knowing she was not easily mobile, "The engagement party can't go on without you.

I'll check out the situation and get back to you. Stay here for now."

Serena watched his hurried departure without further protest.

At the hospital.

Florence was rushed into the emergency room, and when Martin arrived, he only found panicked servants and bodyguards.

"Where's my dad, my sister?" Martin asked.

"Your dad fainted when he saw Mrs. Florence had an incident. The doctor said it was a stroke; he's in the ICU now. As for Ms. Diana,

wasn't she at the wedding venue?" Lana was confused, having been surprised to see Martin rushing in alone, wondering why his

sister wasn't with him.

"When did she go to the wedding venue?" Martin took out his phone, dreading his sister might cause a scene at his engagement

party.

Lana replied, "About an hour ago."
