The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1245

"No worries, just had a little tumble," Serena maintained her poised, heiress demeanor, even in pain.

Everyone had to admire her. Even when injured, she managed to maintain an air of elegance, without a trace of disarray.

"Has Hans been busy? It's been a while since I last saw him. I made him some snacks."

The receptionist, unaware of the incidents in the conference room, replied gently, "Mr. Collins just finished a meeting. He should be in his office now. I can call him for you."

"No need. I'll surprise him."

With Serena insisting, the receptionists didn't dare to stop her and agreed with smiles.

Just then, Dorothy, Erica, and Patricia, who were just leaving the corporation after the meeting, overheard Serena's conversation with the receptionist, and their expressions were taken aback.

Did Serena not know that her sister was also here?

"Have you guys noticed, the assertive Ms. Bennett we saw in the meeting earlier, compared to the gentle and innocent Serena, their characters and attitudes are worlds apart. Could it be that they were raised separately since childhood? One being the public face of the family and the other secretly groomed to take over the family." Erica speculated.

"That's possible!" Dorothy nodded vigorously, "It really could be, otherwise, their personalities wouldn't be so different. They appear to be about the same age, but Serena never involved herself in the corporation, only appearing in high society. On the other hand, Ms. Bennett, whose name we had never heard before, suddenly surfaced in the corporation. We never heard of her in high society circles before."

"This must be the deep plot of the Collins family." Patricia finally caught on.

Serena felt a few people whispering, probably about the wounds on her forehead and chin. She had fallen quite hard today, and even walking was painful.

But for the sake of her image, she walked with elegance and grace. It was only when the elevator doors closed that she hastily checked her appearance in the mirror, afraid of showing any signs of disarray.
