Chapter 1224


    “Listen, if Hans ever finds a way to pin this on us, I''ll take the fall. I''ll say it was all my idea, and that you


    had nothing to do with it"


    Serena had never expected such loyalty from a servant. It was as if Martha was more of a family than


    her own kin, and the realization moved her.


    “With me by your side, Serena, I''ll make sure Arabe understands the consequences of crossing you!"


    Martha''s eyes shed with a hard edge at the mention of Arabe.


    "Oh, and another thing. If you ever run into Arabe when there aren''t any others around, don''t feel the


    need to be polite." Martha advised.


    Arabe had taken their kindness for granted in the past. Well, she wouldn''t me them if they showed


    no mercy from now on!


    "Don''t worry, Martha. I won''t be polite to her anymore." Serena seemed to have made a decision, her


    eyes filled with a vengeful light.


    Meanwhile, Louisa woke up with a start from a nightmare.


    Sitting up in her bed, heart still pounding, she nced at the clock to find it was already evening. She


    quickly changed and prepared to head out.


    “Ma''am, where are you off to? Dinner''s almost ready." a servant tried to persuade her in the living


    room.


    “I''m not hungry. Louisa replied, wrapping a scarf around her neck. "By the way, did you invite Serena''s


    friends to stay for dinner?"Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "They''ve left."


    “They left?" Louisa was surprised, wondering why they hadn''t stayed for a meal.


    The servant hesitated, wanting to mention the argument that seemed to have taken ce between


    Serena''s friends that afternoon.


    Serena had returned to her room crying.


    But before the servant could exin, Louisa''s phone rang.


    “Hello, honey? I''m about to head out. What? Celeste fainted? I''ll be right there."


    Seeing Louisa rush out the door, the servant said nothing more.


    Elsewhere, Hans was driving back to the office, his mind wandering back to a memory of a little girl


    falling in the garden years ago. She had scraped her knee badly and was clearly in pain, but she still


    managed to put on a brave face to keep everyone else from worrying.


    Back then, Serena was so considerate and caring, like a warm little nket that broughtfort and


    joy.


    When did that change?


    Was it when Arabe returned home?


    Or was it when Arabe started to shine?


    He remembered the first time he saw Arabe. She was assisting Molly at a designpetition, her


    right wrist bruised and swollen, clearly injured, yet she had managed to embroider a beautiful rose onto


    a dress with that hand.


    The head of the Fashion Designers Association of Solterra, Flora, was one of the judges. She


    identally let slip that Arabe was the founder of QY.


    Despite her young age, Arabe had founded apany, managed family businesses, and despite her


    position, was willing to assist and nurture the next generation.


    This kind of spirit and vision surpassed many.


    Through their interactions, he saw more of her brilliance.


    Though he didn''t want topare Arabe with Serena, there was a clear difference in their attitudes


    and how they handled situations.
