Chapter 257


    Arabe didn’t say another word. She just whipped out her phone, dialed Serena’s number, and put it


    on speaker.


    She had gotten this number when she first returned to the Collins family. Serena had insisted that she


    keep it in front of their parents, saying that they could make ns to go to the spa or grab coffee


    together.


    Arabe didn’t want to y the part of the close sister with her, but to avoid making her parents


    ufortable, she saved the number, though she never called.


    In no time at all, the call went through.


    “Sis?”


    A sweet voice came from the other end of the line. Serena’s address of “sis” threw Brooklyn for a loop.


    What’s going on here?


    Why was Serena calling this girl ‘sis‘?


    Were they actually rted?


    “Do you know who I am?” Arabe’s voice sounded a little annoyed.


    “Aren’t you Arabe?” Serena was a bit puzzled. She was at home, in front of her parents, ying the


    part of the good girl, “Sis, weren’t you supposed to be in apetition today? Anything you need my


    help with?”


    Upon hearing that, Keh and Louisa both urged Serena to put Arabe on speaker, to continue


    asking her if she had forgotten any necessary registration documents, her ID, or if there was any urgent


    matter. They wanted to help as much as they could.


    Serena quickly put the call on speaker, hoping to look good in front of her parents.


    “I’m asking you, who is Romeo engaged to?”


    This sudden question took Serena by surprise. She didn’t understand why Arabe would suddenly call


    her to ask this question.


    What’s going on?


    Keh and Louisa were also confused. Why would Arabe bring this up right before her


    “Hm?”


    Arabe’s simple grunt brought Serena back to reality.


    Even though she didn’t know what Arabe’s real intention was, in front of her parents, Serena still put


    on a show of being gentle and charming..


    “Of course, it’s you.”


    “Beep beep beep.”


    Arabe hung up the call, then looked at Brooklyn, as if to say, “you don’t even know you’re being


    used!”


    Brooklyn waspletely stunned by Serena’s words.


    Why would she call this girl “sis“?


    Why would she say that Romeo was this girl’s fiancé?


    What the heck was going on?


    It was definitely Serena’s voice.


    Back at Reflections Vi.


    Serena was puzzled. She didn’t understand why Arabe would suddenly hang up. When she tried to


    call back, no one answered.

    “Serena, what’s going on? Arabe didn’t sound too happy.”


    “About you and Romeo.”


    “Dad, Mom, don’t get it wrong, there’s nothing going on between us.” Serena was also clueless and


    quickly exined, “I don’t know why Sis suddenly got upset and asked me that. Don’t worry, I’ll text her


    “Thepetition is about to start, let’s not disturb her and let her focus.” Even though Louisa said this,


    she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She felt it necessary to wait for Be toe


    back and ask her about it.


    “Okay.” Serena temporarily suppressed her unease, wondering what the hell Arabe was up to!


    If she had known Arabe was going to ask that, she wouldn’t have put the call on speaker!


    Just then, thepetition bell rang.


    “Numbers one to twenty, get ready, you’re up next!”
