Chapter 808 "Cut the crap!" Serena tried to kick Alma several times, but each time Alma missed her target, which only fueled her anger. She kept chasing her, trying to land a kick.
Alma, pretending to avoid her, led Serena to the fire exit stairs where it was deserted. She clenched her fists and delivered a solid punch to Serena's stomach.
Serena, who was already dealing with her period, was so pained by the punch that she immediately crouched down, unable to utter a word.

"Do you know why I hate you more than Arabella? Because you're as dumb as a brick, incompetent, and have a terrible temper. Do you think just because Grandma woke up, you have a guardian angel?" Alma kept a firm grip on her hair as she continued, "Grandma values kinship more than anyone. And now she had such an outstanding granddaughfter like Arabella, do you think you can outshine Arabella? Dream on." When Serena noticed that Alma was not letting go, she twisted her thigh hard.
"Ah." The pain made Alma let go, but she wasn't willing to give up that easily, so she kicked Serena's backside.
Serena fell on the ground, grinding her teeth in anger, "Alma, do you keep provoking me because you think I'm an easy target?" "Exactly! Is there anyone more foolish and easier to bully in this house than you? Besides, seeing you lose your cool like this is quite entertaining.’ Serena clenched her fists, wanting nothing more than to go up and punch her.
"Think twice if you can even take me down, or else you'll be the one asking for trouble." Alma continued to ridicule. "Go look at your pathetic self in the mirror. You think you stand a chance with Romeo? Disgusting." As Alma was about to leave the fire exit stairs, she tically screamed and acted as if Serena had pushed her down the stairs.
She held her stomach, pretending to be a damsel in distress, "Serena, no matter how you treat me, you'll always be my sister. | will forgive you." A few nurses not too far away saw this and sympathized with Alma, while growing a distaste for Serena.
In the hospital room.
Cornelia was chatting away with Arabella until she got tired and had to lie down to rest.

Lucas and Beverly were also ready to leave. Everyone left the room together. Serena came back and didn't say a word, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction when looking at Alma.
Alma, far from being afraid, went to Arabella, "Bella, | need to talk to you." “Alma always talking about Bella. Let them chat. We'll go ahead," said Beverly, taking Louisa's hand and chatting about recent events while they walked away.
Alma saw Serena walking ahead and then quietly said to Arabella, "I went to check on Serena's bandages out of good will, and she,” She pretended to hesitate, but finally blurted out, "she wanted to team up with me to drive you out of the Collins family.” Arabella didn't show any emotion and said, "Oh." "She's just an adopted daughter of the family, and she wants to replace you." Alma couldn't help but add, "Bella, aren't you angry?" “I'm not angry, just a little surprised." "You're surprised too, right?" Alma was about to continue.
Arabella interrupted her, "Serena wouldn't say such a thing. Stop acting in front of me. Not everyone is as stupid as you.’ "Bella, do you trust Serena more than you trust me?" Alma pretended to be hurt, "Yes, we've had misunderstandings before, but this time, | am sincerely looking out for you. I'm risking everything to tell you this.”
