NovelAppIn the past, vacations for Serena were bustling with life, as her friends would flock to her place, a giggling gaggle ready for fun.
They'd hit up the local diner, catch the latest flick at the cinema, or pamper themselves with a spa day.
But this winter break, she found herself confined to the walls of her home.
Confined for so long that she and her friends barely crossed paths.
“| actually thought she realized her mistake and was considering giving her another chance. But it turns out, apologies are just part
of her routine. They are just empty words.”
Serena had sounded so sincere that Kenneth nearly fell for it!
Louisa was heartbroken and disappointed, never imagining Serena could turn out this way!

It was utterly disheartening!
“lt seems we were too lenient sending her to the guesthouse to reflect on her actions.” Louisa mused.
If the homemade biscuits with milk, the handwritten letters, the colds and fevers, including the heartfelt message she had sent
today were a schto escape the guesthouse and return to the main house, then her heart must be incredibly terrifying.
Louisa didn’t dare to think about it, because on closer thought, she realized Serena was nothing like the person in her memories.
She was becoming someone unrecognizable.
When had she changed? Was it since Bella left for home, or was it when Martha started stirring the pot.
“Mr. and Mrs. Collins, | swear on my family’s life that there is no falsehood in my words.” Edith suddenly knelt down, raising her
right hand to swear, “You treatlike your own, and Ms. Bella has always treatedwith genuine respect and kindness. | can’t
bear to see you deceived any longer, and | can’t stand to watch her bully Ms. Bella like before, with such arrogance.”
“Edith, we know all that you've done for this household, and we are aware of your loyalty. Please stand up. The floor is cold.”
Louisa hurried to help her up, expressing her disappointment, “We had this image of her being gentle, well-mannered, and
graceful, but now I'm starting to see her true colors.”
It would be a lie to say they weren't disappointed and hurt.
In the end, Louisa steeled her heart and said to Kenneth, “Let's not reply to her just yet. Let's see what else she tries to stir up.”
Kenneth too felt let down and heartbroken by Serena’s actions. He had always seen her as a daughter, intent to cover for her for
the rest of his life. But she.
She was playing them for fools, bullying their own daughter, and still showing no remorse.

Serena waited in her room, tdragging on until Betty arrived with lunch, revealing she had been waiting for three whole hours!
Her parents weren't ones to sleep in; they'd rise with the sun, and by this hour, they should have been up and about, likely at lunch
themselves.
Even if something urgent had cup, it was unthinkable that they'd leave her hanging without so much as a punctuation mark in
reply.
What could be keeping Kenneth and Louisa so busy?
Could it be a poor network connection that they didn't receive her message?
It seemed unlikely; she had sent so many messages. It's unlikely that not a single one was received.
What could be the reason? Could Arabella be there, making it awkward for them to respond.?
