The Princess and the Pauper

He recalled the memory of the day. They were on their way to celebrate Amelia's birthday when suddenly they were ambushed. The car crashed, and Kenneth's head slammed against the window. Dazed and confused, he was dragged out before he could grasp what was happening. Someone had clamped a cloth over his nose and mouth.

Now, looking back, the mastermind was undoubtedly Serena!

"Serena, how could you?" Kenneth's voice was heavy with betrayal. "We've taken care of you for eighteen years. You've lived in luxury, never wanting for anything. Everyone in our family has cherished you, coddled you from your childhood. Even after Bella came back, we still treated you like our own daughter."

"Your own daughter? How can you even say those words? Can't you see the difference in how you treated me and Arabella? Am | blind or just stupid? If it wasn't for your blatant favoritism, would things have ever come to this?!"

Kenneth asked with great sorrow, "Have you never once thought that you could be at fault? All those tears, that remorse you showed, were they all just for show?"

"You should be glad | even bothered to put on an act," Serena screamed with heart-wrenching voice. "That meant | cared about you! But now, | don’t care anymore."

She now had nothing left. Her only support, Martin, was also gone.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Rather than living such a miserable life, she thought, it would be better to avenge her biological parents and drag these people down with her.

Living a life as murky as a swamp, she was not at all unhappy, but in agony. If she was to suffer, Arabella wasn't going to have her happy ending either! Serena had lost her family; now, she was determined to make Arabella feel the pain of that loss too!

"| was wrong." Serena laughed in self-mockery. "| was wrong to believe your lies, thinking you would ever treat me fairly! | was wrong to be so arrogant, not seeing my true place! | was wrong to keep holding on to this pitiful family affection, you never cared about me."

Her biological mother had been right. Once Arabella returned, she had only two choices: let go of her familial ties and use the Collins' name as a stepping stone to another wealthy family, milking the Collins family for all they were worth or eliminate Arabella and return to the life she once had!

However, her indecisiveness and vacillation led her to miss numerous opportunities. And in the end, her biological mother was dead, her father too, and she was left in this plight.

It was all her fault for not heeding her mother's words.

“These eighteen years of companionship, these countless days and nights of emotional foundation, yet easily wavered by this mere blood connection. Is this blood tie really that important to you?" Serena's question was full of anguish.

Louisa closed her eyes, and after a while, she said, "You're beyond redemption."

She never realized her own faults. Or rather, she thought her faults were minor, and that others were to blame.

Kenneth, heartbroken and aggrieved, still tried to awaken her conscience. "If we cared only for blood ties, we would have driven aout bi
