So Clark and | want to deal with the external forces as soon as possible, so that everyone will know that you are the true Collins family heiress." What he didn't expect was Serena's attempt to tarnish Arabella's reputation with outrageous lies.

Serena was as white as a sheet, her lips void of color. In hopes of gaining Hans's forgiveness, she had soaked in a cold bath for a full hour! Upon hearing the beep of the thermometer, Martha quickly checked it, “Oh my god, Serena, you have a fever of 102 Fahrenheit! I'll get you a cooling patch." “Martha." Serena stopped her weakly, “If you use it now, it'll all be for nothing. Call Hans and ask when he's coming back." “Right, right." Martha hadn't thought Serena would still be so calm even when she was sick. She had really changed! As Martha reached for her phone, Serena's vision began to blur until she passed out.

“Please, Hans, chsoon." Martha's voice was filled with tears, “Serena hasn't eaten anything till now and she's burning up with fever."
