The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2137

They might have been in too much pain then, and their expressions showed it.

It was then that Beverly realized the misunderstanding was massive.

“You said we spent more twith Hans and the others than with Frederica and Alma. That's because their kids were born before

yours, and after handing over the company, we had all the tand energy to play with the grandkids. But by the tyou had

Frederica, we were getting on in years. And our homes are far apart.”

It used to be just a ten-minute drive to Reflections Villa.

But to get to Beverly's, it was about forty minutes.

They couldn't make that trip every day, their bodies just couldn't handle it.

“But you can ask Frederica and Alma. Do they really feel that Grandma and Grandpa play favorites?” Cornelia said, exhausted as

she looked towards Frederica and Alma.

Beverly too, with tears in her eyes, looked at her daughters.

Alma shook her head, tears spilling over, “Grandma and Grandpa treatjust the sas my five brothers. never have | felt they

were biased, nor have | ever felt neglected by them.”

This was her heartfelt truth.

Grandma and Grandpa doted on her; they didn’t treat her differently because she is a girl.

On the contrary, she was a bit of a scamp as a child, and whenever she got in trouble and was scolded by her parents, Grandma

and Grandpa would still defend her.

“Grandma and Grandpa are really good to me,” Alma answered honestly, “I've never felt that they love my brothers more than

they love me.”

Beverly couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and her tears burst forth.

She had always thought her in-laws were biased, and when Lucas heard what she had to say, he also felt their parents’ actions

were unfair.

Further compounding that, he always felt that he was not valued.

That's why they kept making one mistake after another.

“Oh, the tragedy.” Cornelia was devastated, and Beverly was in tears as well.

“All this time, over such trivial matters, you've been tripping up Kenneth and Louisa, even trying to set fire to their hwith their

newborns inside.” Cornelia couldn’t hold back her tears, “We're family.”

Lucas and Beverly were full of regret, but it was pointless to say anything now.

They knelt before their parents and brother and sister-in-law, tears silently streaming down, heads bowed like children who had

done wrong.

Cornelia had someone bring the family discipline rod, and with each strike, she hit them hard.

“| really regret loving you all these years. You two went too far, you've disappointedtoo much.”

She hadn't struck many times before she collapsed from the severe emotional shock she suffered.
