Serena felt a cold shiver run down her spine, her face drained of color.
Growing up, her mother had never used such foul language to scold her. Before Arabella cinto the picture, she was the
family's darling princess, doted on by everyone. She got everything she wanted with just the snap of her fingers, living a life of
luxury and ease.
But now, her mother was unleashing such venomous words at her, had kicked her twice, and slapped her across the face.
Before Arabella's return, would her mother have ever dreamed of treating her like this?
Every harsh word, every action cut like a knife, stabbing deep into Serena's heart.
Watching her mother tremble with anger, tears streamed down Serena's face, "Mom."
"Don't you dare call'mom' again. You're not worthy." Louisa pointed an accusing finger, her voice choked with cold anger and
disappointment, "We raised you for eighteen years, treating you like a treasure, always at your beck and call. While you lived in the

Tears fell like rain from Louisa's eyes as her chest heaved with fury, "Your birth mother died in that terrible fire, and your father
disappeared. We didn’t throw you out on the street right away. Instead, we treated you like our own daughter, allowing you to
continue living a pampered life, surrounded by luxury and adoration."
Louisa sobbed uncontrollably, her voice filled with rage, "We didn't expect repayment or gratitude, all we hoped was that you
would get along with our true daughter. But you went behind our backs tand tagain to bully her, and in the end, you
resorted to despicable and vile tactics like drugging and hiring a hitman. Are you even human??"
Louisa shook with anger, her eyes full of pain and fury as she glared at Serena, "Even a dog we raised would wag its tail for us, but
after eighteen years, you nearly killed our own beloved girl! You deceitful, cunning, and heartless creature, we never should have
kept you, never should have treated you like our own."
Hearing her mother's words, Serena was panic-stricken, desperate to explain, but Louisa closed her eyes, letting the tears fall,
heartbroken and utterly defeated.
The more they had cherished her in the past, the more they now felt a profound regret.
They had been blind, not seeing their own daughter's suffering until now.
"Louisa, chere quickly." It was then that Kenneth called urgently, "Romeo sent a message, it looks like something's happened
to Bella."
"What did you say??" Louisa rushed over, and saw that Romeo had sent several videos, the first of which seemed to show their
daughter being ambushed in an abandoned building.
Eunice leaned in to watch, and Bard, unable to see, suggested, "Honey, cast the video so everyone can see it clearly without
crowding around."
"Right, right." Kenneth quickly handed his phone to Eunice.
Eunice removed the back cover of the small remote, took out a connector for the phone, and once connected, the video content
was projected onto the white wall with crystal clarity.

They all watched as Martha surrounded Arabella with countless henchmen, even tying her up, and anger surged through them like
a tidal wave.
It turned out that all the dangers and troubles their precious Bella had encountered before, including the pilot's sudden heart
attack, the appearance of a mysterious man in the restaurant, and more, were all orchestrated by Martha from the shadows.
What shocked them most was that their child had known about these things for a long time. Not only did she know, but when she
spoke with Martha, she kept referring to Serena as "your daughter." Could it be that Serena was Martha's daughter? Her own flesh
and blood??
With this thought, everyone's gaze shifted back to Serena.
Serena herself was confused, not understanding what was happening.
Martha was supposed to be her nanny, who had cared for her since she was a child. How could she suddenly becher real
mother.
Her real mother wasn't the one who died in that fire, was she?
But if Martha wasn't her real mother, why didn't she deny it when Arabella said that.
