She clicked the remote, revealing the second page on the screen, "These are Martha's underlings, all the details about the
welcgift you arranged- the time, place, and amount—it's all here."
Louisa and Kenneth never imagined their child would dare do such a thing in secret. Their disappointment in her deepened.
"That day she went to Dawnstar's Rodeo Drive, charging Martin's card with shopping sprees—I happened to be there with Bella,
doing sshopping. As an aunt, | wanted to give my niece a warm welcback to the family with a special something. But that
day, something happened."
Eunice pressed the remote again, and a boutique's surveillance footage filled the screen.
"I was picking out dresses when | overheard someone deliberately snatching the clothes Bella was interested in. Whatever Bella
liked, the person tried to take."
Although the store manager noticed Eunice’s displeasure and had the rude lady escorted out, banning her from future entry and

Eunice made it a point to inquire about the identity of that affluent girl. The manager didn’t recognize her, only noting she wore a
pink CNL ensemble and a white beret, with her brown hair in large, wavy curls.
"With the New Year around the corner, | was pondering over the perfect gift for Bella. It was perfect timing - reps from all the major
brands were coming around with New Year's gifts, including CNL’s vice president with their latest collection."
Eunice had been resolute to him, swearing off any collaboration with their brand again. Under his persistent queries, she told him it
was due to the low quality of sof their clientele, which tarnished the brand's reputation.
"Later, | learned from the vice president that they cater only to a few top families in the country. That pink CNL outfit? Only three in
the world—two went to heiresses abroad, and one was ordered by Serena. Following the trail, | discovered it was Serena who had
the conflict with Bella over clothes that day."

being kicked out of the boutique and barred from all the shops on Rodeo Drive, thanks to Eunice's influence, she stood outside,
cursing loudly. "Ever heard of the Collins family? Do you know who the Collins are? Do you know Kenneth? The Solterra tycoon, you
know him?"
Kenneth and Louisa were stunned by her effrontery.
Was this the Serena they had spoiled since childhood?
Was this the sSerena, so fragile that she only knew how to cry pitifully?
Eunice continued, "After shopping, Bella and | went to a rooftop restaurant. | excused myself to the restroom and Serena just
happened to be there. Probably spotting Bella, she lied to the manager, claiming she knew her and wanted to say hello."
She clicked the remote, and Kenneth and Louisa watched astonishment, as they saw Serena approach Arabella and grab a half-
finished glass of champagne from another table, throwing it over Arabella.

But Arabella was quick. She grabbed a napkin to shield herself, dodged, and in a swift motion, splashing red wine onto Serena in
return.
"The restaurant's cameras had blind spots, so no one knew it was Serena who'd thrown the drink at Bella. This footage was
accidentally recorded by a bystander."
The footage ended there, missing the part where Arabella shoved Serena into a plate and soaking her with wine.
Kenneth was in shock, and Louisa was shaking with anger. She could never have imagined that Serena, in private, could be so
malicious, so brazen in bullying their darling Bella.
If Bella hadn't reacted so quickly, hadn't fought back, imagine how cold and how humiliated she would have been drenched in
champagne in that freezing weather.
"This child has gone too far." Louisa's voice trembled with rage. "She's terrible!"
"How could she do such a thing?" Kenneth was furious. Without Eunice showing them these, they would have been completely
unaware of Serena’s behavior in private!
