As the Collins family's car rolled up, Dr. Pierce opened the door, gesturing for Bernard and Cornelia to climb in first.

"Drop by for scoffee when you have a moment," Bernard invited through the car window, his smile warm and inviting.

"Will do, I'll be sure to visit," Dr. Pierce replied with a hearty nod, then proceeded to open the doors for Kenneth and Louisa to get

"I have something important to discuss with Arabella."

"Back off," Sean warned, unapologetically protective, "cnear my sister again, and you'll haveto answer to."

Louisa felt a cold shiver, wondering if spuppet master feared Bella's sharp intellect and was seeking to silence her before she

uncovered more.

Arabella's gaze met his with a serene detachment, "There are two people in this life | won't save—one is Yolanda, the other is

Serena."

The Murphys had caused the death of Granny Grace; she would never lend them a helping hand.

Serena had repeatedly tried to end Arabella's life. She even suspected Arabella of poisoning her in the ICU just moments ago. Such

a person was not worth saving.
