The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2087

"Since you two are innocent, then just wait for Stinger's confession," Arabella didn't even wait for further discussion; she promptly

ended the call.

Bernard and Cornelia were taken aback by their granddaughter's decisiveness.

"Bella, why do you think the Stinger is connected to the clinic fire from back in the day?" Cornelia couldn't help but ask.

"There are a few leads that match up. Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma, | know my aunt and uncle are in a tight spot. I'll get to

the bottom of this as soon as possible and hand over the culprit to them," Arabella assured, showing her mature side.

"Alright. Just don't overwork yourself, dear. If there's anything we can do to help, just say the word," Cornelia said with affection.

"Will do."

Meanwhile.

When Serena woke up, she found a message from Martin saying there was this amazing breakfast place nearby, but it had a one-

hour wait, and he wanted her to sleep in until she read his note.

Other than Martin's, there were no new messages on her phone.

She felt a twinge of panic, mixed with irritation. By now, that person should have reached Baradocia.

They had a system: if he sent a message in their agreed-upon format, it meant he had safely arrived abroad, and she didn't need

to reply.

But it was already nine in the morning.

Just then, the door to her room swung open. "Martin? You're back already? | thought you had to wait in line for an hour."

Her sentence was cut short when she saw it wasn't Martin who entered, but Fitch, and she was immediately overcwith a bad

feeling. Instinctively, she reached for her phone to call Martin.

Fitch strode up to her in a few quick steps, grabbed her throat, and demanded, "The car accident—did you set it up?"

"lI don't know what you're talking about." Serena tried to pry his hands off, but his grip was too strong to resist. "Let go, what are

you doing."

"Speak now, or I'll snap your neck," Fitch threatened, tightening his grip.

Her face turned beet red, struggling for air. Desperate, she clawed at Fitch's hands. Her vision was dimming, she was on the verge

of passing out. "I'll tell you, just let go."

Finally, Fitch eased his hold.

After gasping for air, Serena managed to say, "Diana's car accident was just that—an accident. | had nothing to do with it!"

"With Martin gone, you don't even bother to pretend anymore." Fitch sneered, as if he had always seen through her.

Only then did Serena realize she hadn't addressed Diana with respect like she used to do.

"It seems you won't regret until you get the punishment," Fitch said, his hands closing around her throat again.

Before Serena could reach the call button on the wall, the suffocation and fear overtook her once more. The oxygen seemed to thin

out, and no matter how much she struggled, it was futile.

"Fitch, you're insane." She was gasping for breath, her head spinning, her vision blurring, "Help."
