The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode

Chapter 1587

"Ever since Arabella waltzed back into this house, you've been wronged. What's the big deal in venting

to a friend? Is Arabella some kind of royalty that she can't handle a couple of harsh words without

keeling over?" Martha paused, her concern evident, "You still haven't told me, how'd you get all banged

up? It looks pretty bad."

Serena recounted the series of unfortunate events at her birthday party, including the bullying by Alma,

the beating she received at her doorstep, and her fall while chasing after her parents' car, hoping for

their forgiveness.

Martha's eyes misted with empathy. "Serena, what did you do to deserve such treatment?"

"Martha, don't cry." Serena suddenly felt that, in this family, Martha was the only one who truly cared for

her.

Noticing the scars on Martha's wrists as she wiped her tears, Serena asked with concern, "You never

told me, how did you get all these injuries?"

Unable to hide the truth any longer, Martha spoke in a hoarse whisper, "I was taking out the trash

tonight, and out of nowhere, I got jumped. They left me in the dump, and it took me forever to crawl

out."

Just recalling the incident made Martha feel nauseated.

The open dump, where the neighborhood discarded their garbage, would only be cleared by the

sanitation trucks the next morning.

It was during the stench-filled evening hours that Martha had been attacked and tossed into the refuse.

The mix of vile odors was enough to make her retch repeatedly.

"I had no clue what was going on until I heard that Debby and Daisy got the same treatment today.

Then it hit me. Maybe it's because they picked on those servants Arabella was protecting, and I got

thrown out for trying to sabotage Arabella with that oil spill."

"Could it be that all three of us had wronged her, and that's why Mrs. Collins couldn't let it go and

ordered this payback?"

Serena was shocked to learn about Debby and Daisy's ordeal, "Now I remember, before mom and dad

shipped me off here, they blamed you for leading me astray. They must think you're the bad influence,

and that's why they're taking it out on you, and settling scores with Debby and Daisy as well."

Thinking it over, Serena felt a surge of indignation on their behalf.

"That oil spill. We were the ones who got hurt, not Arabella. They docked your pay, kicked you out, and

now, after all this time, they have someone beat you up? That's just too much! And Debby and Daisy

were just trying to put those uppity servants in their place because they were so unbearable. But mom

and dad still want to settle old scores."

"Serena, haven't you noticed? When the lady of the house adored you, we basked in your glow. Now

that you've been relegated to the guest quarters, it's no wonder we're."

Serena hadn't realized that falling out of favor herself had dragged down her once loyal servants, "Mom

and Dad also said that if I don't reflect on my behavior and dare to disrespect Arabella again, then I

don't deserve to carry the Collins name."

"What did you say?" Martha was in disbelief.

"Ridiculous, isn't it?" Serena laughed bitterly, the pain clear in her voice. Her parents, who had

cherished her for eighteen years, were now ready to strip her of her family name just because of their

biological daughter's arrival.

"They've gone too far!" Martha never imagined the lady of the house could be so cold-hearted.

Eighteen years of love for her daughter, and yet, as if uprooting a cherished tree, they were ready to

deny even her name to such a splendid person.
