Chapter 856 "Indeed, Bella has the Collins’ family blood coursing through her veins, but don't get too excited yet. For the past eighteen years, the true apple of the Lady's eye has been Serena, and the one cherished by her five brothers is also Serena! The depth of their affection for her over these years is beyond words. You all know that deep down!" Martha, supporting Serena, spoke with words that were like a knife to their hearts.
"With such profound affection, Serena has more than enough power to kick you all out of here! If you dare to plot against her behind her back, none of you will be able to stay in this family." "Whether we can stay or not isn't up to you alone; said Edith, looking at Serena with disappointment.

Don't let your future be swayed by those with malicious intentions." With that, Edith bent down to pick up the flowers from the ground.
She had spent thirty dollars on these flowers, and now they were desecrated and trampled on. She couldn't possibly give them to Bella now.
It was really a pity. These beautiful flowers could have brightened Bella's day, but instead, they were ruined by these two.
"Clean up the mess,” Edith instructed the maids as she exited, holding the damaged flowers.
To her surprise, this action provoked Martha.
"Oh, look at you, ordering people around. You're just a servant, but you're acting as if you run the place. You think you're something special just because you're clinging to Bella? Stop putting on airs in front of us!" Edith did not want to waste her words on Martha, as it would be like arguing with the stubborn, there was no reasoning with her.

If she had any resentment towards you, she could have made use of her parents’ guilt and had you leave right from the start, but she didn't." Edith spoke from her conscience, "When your parents and your brothers were being kind to you, Bella didn't interfere, she didn't sabotage you, she didn't speak ill of you in front of them." Edith continued, "Bella has been busy all day. Maybe she encountered some tricky issues and needed Clark's help. They're both doctors, right? If it's a matter of life and death, it's only reasonable that Clark would drop his shopping to help. Bella is straightforward. She says what's on her mind, she doesn't beat around the bush." Seeing Serena silent, Edith felt she had taken some of it in, so she added, "Think about it." After Edith left, the maids began cleaning up the mess in silence.
"What's with the slow pace? Are you here to slack off?" Martha couldn't help but reprimand, "In the Lady's heart, Serena is the most important one. You short-sighted fools, you'll get what's coming for you." One of the maids couldn't help but say, "Martha, we were all watching Edith arrange the flowers just now. She didn't use her cell phone to contact Bella, and you misunderstood her." "You're still defending her? It seems like you really want to leave." The maids were scared out of their wits and quickly cleaned up and left.
"Those blind fools! | need to teach them a lesson someday, or they'll forget who's in charge in this house!" Martha angrily led Serena upstairs, muttering all the way, "That old hag Edith, trying to mislead you, smear me in front of you, tell you to distinguish right from wrong, bah, isn't she just saying I'm the bad guy? She's the one giving Bella advice, yet she still plays the good guy!"
