After ending the call, Arabella knew Clark had been eavesdropping the whole tand she didn't bother to hide it.
"So, Lucas and his wife might be the masterminds behind this?" Clark recalled the recent New Year, when his aunt and her new
driver's peculiar behavior raised eyebrows. "If it really is them, imagine how heartbroken Grandma, Grandpa, and our parents
would be."
"We don't have solid evidence against them; it's just a suspicion. Don't take it to heart, Clark. Actually, | hope we're wrong."
The following afternoon.
When Diana went to visit her mother in the hospital, she noticed that Serena, from the adjacent room, was getting ready to be
discharged.
June was packing Serena's things while Dora and a nurse helped Serena into a wheelchair. Their light laughter and conversation

She marched in and slapped Serena hard across the face.
"Miss Diana." Dora gasped in shock, "Serena is still very weak."
"And what about my mother?" Diana couldn't believe her family's employees were now taking Serena's side!
She looked down at Serena in the wheelchair, remembering how her brother had knelt on the pafor two hours yesterday to save
this wretch. She was furious and slapped Serena twice more.
Serena was both angry and humiliated. If it weren't for the others present, she would have lunged at Diana.
"You stressed my mother into a heart attack, and | haven't even begun to settle that score with you!" Diana yanked Serena's hair,
saying in a rage, "Do you have no shame? I've made it clear our family doesn't welcyou, yet you still worm your way around
my brother. Where is your dignity?"
"Miss Diana." Dora tried to intervene.
But Diana warned furiously, "Anyone who dares interfere today won't be able to set foot in Summerfield again!"
June, who was packing, tried to sneak a call to Martin but Diana caught her, "Go on, try it!"
The two employees and the nurses immediately bowed their heads and stood aside, too frightened to make a move.
Diana held Serena's hair with one hand and smacked her face with the other. The slaps fell like a relentless downpour, showing no
mercy.
"Diana, you're insane." Serena, having just recovered from a serious illness, was no match for her. Even flailing with her feeble
arms, she couldn't stop the onslaught.

"I must be insane to have tolerated you this long!" Diana, not yet satisfied, took off her high heels and started beating Serena with
them.
"Miss Diana, please stop, you'll kill her." Dora fell to her knees, begging.
June was also terrified and knelt before Diana, "Mr. Martin has barely brought Serena back from death's door. If he finds out you're
doing this, he'll be furious."
"Serena's just recovered; she's as fragile as a paper doll." a nurse interjected, pleading.
"If anyone else speaks up, I'll make sure their family has no graves to rest in!" Diana truly loathed Serena. She took her high heels
and pummeled Serena mercilessly.
From an initial attempt at resistance, Serena ended up clutching her head, trying to shield herself.
The pointed heels struck her, leaving her with unbearable pain, marking her arms, her legs - each blow a testament to Diana's
wrath.
