The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1987

"Alma, we truly want to help your sister, but she seems so ungrateful."

"Oh, | remember now, didn't Mrs. Collins say it just yesterday? She's an ingrate, no matter how nice everyone is to her, it's all in

vain."

"Alma, it just cto me, the last tyou were seriously hurt, wasn't it because she was scheming behind your back?"

"It must have been her. That's why you've only just recovered to go shopping with us."

"She's the one who had people beat you up."

Upon hearing this, a sense of dread washed over Serena. She pressed the switch on her wheelchair to flee, only to be kicked back

into place by Alma.

"Alma, what the heck do you want?!" Serena was downright furious now.

"Well, when they threw you out, | didn't get the chance to properly say goodbye."

Serena suddenly felt scared.

"Looks like today's your lucky day, Alma. The stars have aligned to hear your prayers. She's not going anywhere fast, and we'll help

you out. It's the perfect opportunity for squality sister time."

"Yeah, it's been ages since you've seen each other; there's got to be so much you want to talk about."

Two of the friends each grabbed one of Serena's arms, while a third opened the door to the fire escape, and the fourth pushed the

wheelchair, steering Serena into the stairwell.

"What are you doing? This is a mall. Ah. Alma! You bunch of little witches, how dare you."

Serena's screams of anger echoed through the stairwell.

After withdrawing smoney, Dora returned to find Serena gone, and she urgently asked Octavia, "Where's my lady?"

Octavia, who had been lounging on a trendy bench by the elevator, gracefully stood up, took the money from Dora, and said

without expression, "She ran into sold friends and went to the stairwell to catch up."

Old friends catching up in the stairwell?

With a sinking feeling, Dora hurried to the fire escape door.

What she saw horrified her: Serena lay crumpled with the wheelchair toppled over her. She was crying and unable to get up.

The so-called old friends were nowhere to be seen.

Only Serena was left alone in the stairwell!

"Serena."

Dora rushed down to help her up.

As she moved the wheelchair aside, she noticed the trash scattered over Serena and the nasty smell that permeated the air.

Had someone actually dumped garbage on her?

Dora tried to help her up, but touching her anywhere only made her shriek in pain.

There were signs of a beating on her face, her mouth bleeding, her chin wound had split open again.

Her clothes were stamped with footprints.

There was blood on each step of the stairs; Dora, in a panic, had no idea where the blood was coming from.

Looking at Serena's hair, it seemed damp; the blood had been coming from there.

Dora was petrified and quickly pulled out her phone to dial Martin's number.

"Sir, it's horrible, there's been an accident! Serena's badly hurt, you must cquickly."
