She would have never guessed that when she joked about running the company like her sister to Hans, he was actually orchestrating it all behind the scenes.
But what she also didn't anticipate was that the punishment for talking behind Arabella's back would be so severe. Not only was her allowance gone, her brand suppliers were cut off, and now even the opportunity to inherit the company was lost.
How could Hans do this?!
A few bad words wouldn't kill anyone!!
Why was Hans being so biased!!
On her way home, Serena was increasingly saddened and angered by these thoughts, even believing that Arabella should never have come back to this family.
Upon her return, Serena shut herself in her room and refused to open the door no matter how much Martha knocked, leaving Martha at a loss.
Did Arabella badmouth her to Hans?
With this thought, Martha sent a video of Serena changing her bandages today to Hans, feigning to get anxious, "Mr. Collins, Serena locked herself in her room as soon as she got home and wouldn't let me in to change her bandages. Did something happen over there? Serena was crying from the pain while I was changing the bandages today. It really broke my heart to see her like this, hoping she'll get better soon."
Seeing no response from Hans, Martha choked up, "Mr. Collins, what time are you coming home tonight? Can you check up on Serena when you get back? She'll definitely listen to you."
After Hans finished his meeting with Mr. Ferber and the latter left, he finally checked his phone and watched the video Martha sent.
In the video, Serena was in so much pain that her voice was muffled from crying.
Seeing Martha's message, Hans immediately called her, "Bella showed me a video. Do you have anything to say about it?"
Upon hearing this, Martha was taken aback. She couldn't believe that Bella showed that video to Hans?!
"Mr. Collins, I don't know what you're talking about." Martha instinctively gripped her phone, her heart racing.
