Arabella waved back and proceeded into the house.
"Bella, | was wrong!" Suddenly, Serena appeared before her, bowing deeply in a sincere manner, “Hans punishedyesterday, and | know | was wrong.

I'm sorry, and | promise to improve." Arabella's gaze shifted towards the household staff cleaning in the background. Was this an act for her benefit? Did Serena want them as her witnesses to prove that she had apologized? "So, what did you do wrong?” Arabella asked, her eyes gleaming with interest.
"I shouldn't have badmouthed you in front of my friends." “How exactly did you badmouth me?" “Don't you want to forgive me, Bella?" Serena bit her lip, ‘Don't you believe that | truly realize my mistake?" "I'm not quite convinced. Tell me, what exactly did you do?" Serena was reluctant to share her embarrassing story in front of the staff. She feigned a cough, hoping to divert the topic.
"Ms. Bella, Serena is sincerely apologizing to you. She fell ill yesterday and is still recovering. She has been waiting here for you since the crack of dawn. All the staff here can vouch for her." Serena coughed a few times, her face pale, “It's okay. If you're still mad, I'll apologize again. Bella, what can | do to earn your forgiveness?" “Didn't you hear my question?" Arabella's assertive demeanor made Serena bite her lip, almost on the verge of tears.
“If you're afraid to say it, I'll say it for you." Arabella didn't give her any chance to playact, “In front of outsiders, you claimed that you were the daughter of the Collins family. You said that being with Romeo was too stressful, so you forced him to break up with you. Unexpectedly, he found a new love into provoke you, hoping you would change your mind." The staff were astounded.
Could Serena cup with such a lie? As an adopted daughter, how could she have the audacity to say such things? "So, Hans had to step in to set the record straight. Are you here apologizing tobecause you fear losing your position?" Arabella looked at her disdainfully, "Am | right?" The staff looked incredulously at Serena, who could feel their piercing stares.
"Ms. Bella, Serena is sincerely apologizing to you." “Did | ask you anything? Can't she speak for herself?" Arabella shot back a cold glare, like a gust of icy wind.
The staff were in awe of Ms. Bella's imposing aura.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMartha was seething inside. If it wasn't for keeping up the act, she wouldn't have held her tongue against this insolent girl! Serena's nails dug into her palm, swallowing her humiliation, she was about to reply.
"lI don't accept your apology." Arabella passed her by without a second glance.
Serena watched her retreating figure, fuming. This was all Arabella's doing! Arabella deliberately disclosed the situation, making her a laughing stock among the staff! She deliberately refused to forgive her, causing her humiliation! She deliberately dernonstrated her arrogance and capability.
Martha was also livid, but she maintained a composed facade, "Serena, Ms. Bella misunderstood you. You're still weak from illness.
You should rest upstairs. You can apologize to her later."
