The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1441

This time, Serena's vision darkened, and she nearly passed out.

"Ma'am, what should we do? Should we go in and check? Could Serena have been taken hostage by some thug? Should we call security?"

Liz was all scared out of her wits by Serena's hysterical shouts.

"Don't bother," Eunice said icily. "Pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Ma'am? Ma'am." Liz, seeing Eunice walk away, wanted to help but didn't dare to act without permission, quickly followed Eunice's steps.

Serena lay trembling on the floor, fearfully looking up at Arabella. She couldn't believe Arabella had dared to hit her so hard.

Without her grandparents around, no one could save her.

She might actually be beaten to death by Arabella right here.

What to do?

What could she possibly do?

"Bella, please have mercy." Serena, knowing she was no match, pleaded in weakness, "If you kill me, you'll have to explain to grandma and grandpa. Let me go, I won't tell them about you hitting me today. I'll say I fell and got these bruises."

"And what if you did tell?" Arabella didn't care. "Don't forget all the evidence you've left behind."

Serena froze, realizing why Arabella was so bold - she held all the evidence, making Serena hesitant to speak up, leading to a situation where both would suffer in the end.

Not to mention the time Martha tried to make Arabella slip by spilling oil, or Serena's own attempts to seduce Romeo - these scandals alone could ruin her!

And that's not even the half of it.
