Chapter 820 Seeing Debby leave, Clark said to Arabella, "Don't mind her. If you don't want to see her, I'll simply fire her." Martha, standing off to the side, was utterly flabbergasted. She hadn't expected Clark to immediately defend his sister like this.
What about Serena's feelings? Serena was also a little stunned. When Debby had praised her earlier, she hadn't thought that such praise could hurt Arabella.
Yet Clark's actions left her feeling hollow, as though Arabella's feelings were the only ones that mattered.
Did her achievements not deserve to be recognized? Arabella looked at Clark in front of her. She was surprised that the usually nonchalant Clark could see through Debby's intentions and address them so directly.

"Listen up, everyone." At Clark's words, the surrounding servants immediately perked up, ready to listen attentively.
"Both young ladies of this household are to be treated equally. If | find out anyone who tries to stir up trouble, play favorites, or intentionally sow discord between the two sisters, that person will face consequences far worse than being dismissed from this house. Understand?" "We understand, Clark.” The servants all bowed in unison, not daring to defy him.
"Alright, you may go." Clark waited until they left before turning to Arabella, "Finally, some peace and quiet.
Here, eat some more." He served Arabella some food, and also a good amount to Serena, "You did well earlier. My criticism of Debby wasn't directed at you." Serena, who had been somewhat downcast, felt a tinge of warmth at Clark's words.
He was saying this because he cared about her feelings.
It seemed she still had a place in Clark's heart.
"We're family, don't let anyone use you as a pawn. Now, let's eat." Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances, suddenly realizing their son had grown up and become more thoughtful.
After dinner.
"Come on,’ Clark tugged at Arabella's sleeve, "I have a present for you.

It wasn't until Clark opened the trunk of the limousine that a multitude of pink balloons floated out.
"Every single one of these balloons was blown up by me. Do you like them?" He had seen someone do this online, and had taken note, wanting to give his sister a surprise.
"How romantic.” Kenneth hadn't expected his son to have such a romantic side. And how did the trunk manage to hold so many balloons? It was spectacular! Serena watched enviously as the balloons took flight, suddenly feeling that Arabella was so lucky. Clark had never prepared such a surprise for her.
Arabella saw that each balloon had the words "Welcome home" written on them. No doubt about it, the ugly handwriting must be Clark's.
"All the hardships and unhappiness in the past are over. From now on, just stay here in this home.” Clark patted Arabella’s head. "As your family, we will take good care of you." When all the balloons had flown out of the trunk, the fairy lights inside were still twinkling, casting a dreamy glow. A string of words read, "Welcome home, my dear sister".
