The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1256

"Dad," Serena pleaded while gazing at her father, her eyes filled with tears.

Since she was a little girl, her father had always been easy to negotiate with, always ready to fulfill her wishes.

Kenneth sighed, "Serena, I can't agree to your request this time. Martha didn't trip over the doorstep by accident. She did it deliberately to hurt Bella. That's a crime."

"Dad, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. Martha was only trying to stand up for me because she saw I was being treated unfairly. She just went about it the wrong way.” Serena knelt in front of her father, imploring desperately, "Dad, I’m begging you. I haven’t asked for you about anything since young."

Martha meant the world to Serena.

"Serena, we take you as our own. But if you can't see the seriousness of this situation and you think Martha is better than us, then make your choice!" Louisa averted her face, still obviously angry.

Serena widened her eyes in astonishment. She couldn’t believe that her mother who had been gentle and kind to her would utter such remarks!!

"Mom, are you going to abandon me?" Serena's tears instantly spilled over, making her look exceptionally pitiful, “You want Martha to take me?”

"Serena," Kenneth felt distressed, "What we mean is, Martha can't stay in this house anymore."

"Mr. and Mrs. Collins, I know I've done wrong and I have no reason to stay. Serena, don’t push them. What they did is right. You must listen to your parents from now on. They're always right."

Tears streaming down, Martha gazed at Serena, reluctant to leave, “I’ve already felt satisfied for keeping you company since you were a kid, really.”

Serena shook her head in tears, frustrated at how incompetent she was not to be able to keep even a servant around her!

Then what was it good to be the daughter of this family!

“Mr. and Mrs. Collins, you haven’t let me hold the responsibility for it and just ask me to leave. I’ve already felt grateful. Thank you for your care and tolerance. I’m really happy to live here for eighteen years.”
