"But of course, Ms. Serena Collins was in cahoots with Martha. Every tMartha picked a fight with me, Ms. Serena's knee-jerk
reaction was to insist that | apologize, claiming | was disrespecting her beloved nanny. If | refused, she'd threaten to kickout of
the house."
Kenneth and Louisa were dumbfounded once again.
They couldn't believe that the Serena they knew - obedient, sensible, kind, and gentle - could actually be such a person behind
closed doors.
She sounded like sspoiled heiress with petty grudges, utterly unreasonable, as if both her IQ and EQ had short-circuited.
"And then there was this one twhen Martha had Debby and Daisy corner me, saying they needed to 'teacha lesson’ on
behalf of Serena. Luckily, Ms. Arabella Collins arrived just in time, and | was spared," as Edith recounted this, she was once again

Otherwise, she had no idea how badly she could have been hurt.
"No wonder Bella calledthat time, saying she wanted to fire Debby and Daisy. Now | understand the full story," Louisa finally
pieced everything together.
At the time, she only knew that Bella wanted to fire them for being disrespectful and bullying the staff, and she had immediately
agreed to Bella's decision.
"It's because of your support that Martha eventually apologized to me. Back then, Ms. Arabella Collins docked a month's pay from
her. But who would've thought, she still didn’t change her ways!"
Louisa expressed regret, "A month was too lenient. If | had known the extent of her outrageous actions, | wouldn't have let her off
so easily!"
"Has she ever done anything less than outrageous? You have no idea; she acted all high and mighty here, as if she owned the
place, just because she was Ms. Serena Collins's nanny. Debby and Daisy were her cronies. They felt emboldened by her backing,
even going as far as to cut up Gloria's clothes, and it wasn't the first tthey did something like that."
Louisa was appalled that such bullying could occur within the Collins family.
Kenneth was equally shocked, having never heard of such incidents happening right under his nose.
"And they didn't stop there. They threw Doris' skincare products into the trash. They blatantly admitted it to Doris, asking her what
she was going to do about it. That's why Ms. Arabella Collins wanted to fire them, and do you know why she called you before
doing so?" Edith inquired.

"Why?"
"Because they were so full of themselves, claiming that only Mr. and Mrs. Collins had the authority to fire them, not Ms. Arabella
Collins."
Louisa was livid with rage, never expecting that the staff would becso insolent.
"This won't do." Louisa couldn't stand it any longer. She took out her smartphone and gave the orders, "Those who used to work
here - Sarah, Liz, and Martha - have someone teach them a lesson. From now on, they're blacklisted in the industry. No one is
allowed to hire them, or else they'll be crossing the Collins family!"
Seeing Louisa angrily ending the call, Edith quickly brought over a bowl of soup, "Mrs. Collins, please calm down. It all happened so
long ago, and | wouldn't have dared to speak up if you hadn't asked. This is also why | was so relieved when Serena was sent to the
next building for reflection. Ms. Arabella Collins really endured a lot in the past six months!"
Even though Serena and Martha never got the better of Arabella, just the sight of their arrogant demeanor made Edith feel
disgusted.
