Chapter 1215 Hans's words left the ladies frozen in place once again.
Sylvia asked with disbelief, "Does Serena know about her?" "Yes." Hans's firm reply shattered their last hope. “They live in the shouse, constantly in each other's company.
“But, why Serena didn't say that." Sylvia's voice trailed off to a whisper.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe other ladies were equally shocked. They couldn't believe the truth they were just told.
There was nothing more convincing than hearing the truth from a member of the Collins family.
“Bella had been lost for eighteen years and only found her way back hsix months ago. For sreasons, we haven't publicly revealed her identity yet." The ladies was taken aback by this revelation, stunned by the unexpected twist.
“Although Serena is not a blood-relative of the Collins family, we have treated her like our own for the past eighteen years. She's like family to us. So, on the day Bella returned, with Bella's consent, Serena was allowed to stay. They consider each other as sisters." Arabella had been born first on their shared birthday, so she was technically the older sister, while Serena was the younger one.
But regardless of their birth order, Arabella was the rightful heiress of the Collins family, it was only natural that she was the older sister.
The ladies all looked at each other with shock and disbelief.
“Hans, are you telling the truth? Serena isn't the real heiress of the Collins family." "So, this girl standing in front of us is the heiress." “But Serena never mentioned anything about this." “She only said..." "Said what?" Though Hans had heard most of the conversation earlier, he wanted to hear it again from them.
Sylvia, looking deflated, finally spoke. "So, Arabella is the true heiress. She's the one Romeo is engaged to, not Serena. If Serena knew this all along, why did she claim that she was the one who rejected Romeo?" The ladies couldn't believe that Serena could tell such a big lie. Was it all for her vanity? “She wasn't like this before. She was so innocent and kind-hearted. How could she lie to us?" “L still can't believe it." "She said being with Romeo would place her under a microscope, and she didn't want to live her life like that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She said Arabella was just a temporary flthat Romeo found to provoke her, to make her change her mind" “It's all fake. Serena lied to me." “She lied to all of us!" Romeo had known that Hans was home. He had been watching as the girls confronted Arabella.
Seeing how things had turned out, Romeo walked over to Arabella, his arm around her slim waist.
“There was never any romantic relationship between Serena and me. Before Bella returned, | rarely interacted with her. Even if Bella hadn't cback, | would never date Serena." Nothing could be more shocking than hearing Romeo himself debunk the rumors.
So, Serena's claim that Romeo was infatuated with her and unwilling to break up was all a lie.
"So, she didn't threaten to cut off all contact with you if you didn't break up with her." Sylvia, clinging onto the last thread of hope, asked "Did she?" "We were never in a relationship, so how could we break up?" With this confirmation, the ladies felt their spirits deflate. They couldn't believe that Serena was capable of such deceit.
They had known each other for so many years and considered each other as sisters.
But Serena had lied to them!
