Chapter 1249 She would have never guessed that when she joked about running the company like her sister to Hans, he was actually orchestrating it all behind the scenes.
But what she also didn't anticipate was that the punishment for talking behind Arabella's back would be so severe. Not only was her allowance gone, her brand suppliers were cut off, and now even the opportunity to inherit the company was lost.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could Hans do this?! A few bad words wouldn't kill anyone! Why was Hans being so biased!! On her way home, Serena was increasingly saddened and angered by these thoughts, even believing that Arabella should never have cback to this family.
Upon her return, Serena shut herself in her room and refused to open the door no matter how much Martha knocked, leaving Martha at a loss.
Did Arabella badmouth her to Hans? With this thought, Martha sent a video of Serena changing her bandages today to Hans, feigning to get anxious, "Mr. Collins, Serena locked herself in her room as soon as she got hand wouldn't letin to change her bandages. Did something happen over there? Serena was crying from the pain while | was changing the bandages today. It really broke my heart to see her like this, hoping she'll get better soon" Seeing no response from Hans, Martha choked up, "Mr. Collins, what tare you coming htonight? Can you check up on Serena when you get back? She'll definitely listen to you." After Hans finished his meeting with Mr. Ferber and the latter left, he finally checked his phone and watched the video Martha sent.
In the video, Serena was in so much pain that her voice was muffled from crying.
Seeing Martha's message, Hans immediately called her, "Bella showeda video. Do you have anything to say about it?" Upon hearing this, Martha was taken aback. She couldn't believe that Bella showed that video to Hans?! “Mr. Collins, | don't know what you're talking about.” Martha instinctively gripped her phone, her heart racing.
"Do you needto send the video to you so you can see what you've done?" Hans asked, his voice icy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMartha was so scared that her legs gave out. She never would have thought that the wench actually showed the video to Hans! Oh no, oh no!! What now? Wait, this didn't seem like something Arabella would do. What if Hans was just trying to trick her? So Martha defended herself, "Mr. Collins, | really don't understand what you're talking about, what video? What did | do to give you the wrong impression? | can explain it to you." Hans didn't expect her to be so cunning, he coldly retorted, “So you're saying you're not admitting it?" Martha was even more unsure. Did Hans really see the video? Otherwise, he wouldn't be talking to her in such a certain and cold tone.
But what if, he hasn't seen it, and he was just bluffing.
What to do?? Admit it or not? In a split second, Martha knew her answer. No, she couldn't admit it, not unless Hans sent the video to her.
It wouldn't be too late to feign remorse then.
What if Hans didn't have the video??? Right, she couldn't panic. She wouldn't be fooled by Hans.
