Chapter 787 "Serena, it's okay, I'm just getting old and clumsy. I lost my footing.
It's not a big deal,” Martha's knees were scraped raw, and bruised.
From the sidelines, Arabella watched Martha's poor performance and coldly added, "Not only are you getting old, but your acting has gone downhill too, not what it used to be." Martha didn't expect Arabella to be so sharp-tongued. Suddenly, she groaned in pain, clutching her waist.

Arabella, tired of watching her act, strode towards the house with her long legs.
"Arabella!" Serena couldn't help but stop her, wanting to say something but hesitating, finally blurting out, "What the hell happened?" "She fell on her own." Arabella dropped that sentence as if she didn't want to waste time with them and walked up the steps into the main house.
Serena bit her lower lip, seemingly unconvinced.
"I've already told you; I fell on my own; Martha feigned again.
"But you were walking just fine on a flat and wide path, how could you fall like this?" "Serena, | don't know how to explain. It's okay if | suffer a bit, | mainly worry about you,” Martha slowly moved towards the side house, "Oh, forget it, if people didn't know better, they might think | was teaching you to be a bad person." Serena didn't say anything, just quietly helped her walk, already holding some resentment towards Arabella in her heart.
"You're already eighteen, there are some things you need to learn to judge for yourself, Martha was helped to the side house door, "Alright, this is far enough, | can go in on my own." "| can get some ointment for you." "No need, Gloria can help me." Serena watched her stumble away, thinking to herself that Martha was too old to hurt herself on purpose just to slander a teenage girl, especially when she fell so hard on the ground.
She was more excited than anyone about George and Jennifer's arrival that night. If she intentionally hurt herself, she wouldn't be able to show her face in front of them.

But Arabella's demeanor at that moment didn't seem like she was lying.
Given Arabella’s nature, if she did it on purpose, she would surely admit it.
So, what really happened there? However, after weighing everything, Serena still trusted Martha more, thinking that Arabella must have pushed or bumped Martha.
The reason being that Martha had just been whispering to her, which Arabella saw when she had returned.
It's possible that Arabella was taking that opportunity for revenge.
At that moment, Serena's phone vibrated again. When she looked at it, she was stunned.
