“No worries, just had a little tumble” Serena maintained her poised, heiress demeanor, even in pain.
Everyone had to admire her. Even when injured, she managed to maintain an air of elegance, without a
trace of disarray.
"Has Hans been busy? It's been a while since I last saw him. I made him some snacks."
The receptionist, unaware of the incidents in the conference room, replied gently, "Mr. Collins just
finished a meeting. He should be in his office now. I can call him for you."
“No need. I'll surprise him.
With Serena insisting, the receptionists didn't dare to stop her and agreed with smiles.
Just then, Dorothy, Erica, and Patricia, who were just leaving the corporation after the meeting,
overheard Serena's conversation with the receptionist, and their expressions were taken aback.
Did Serena not know that her sister was also here?
“Have you guys noticed, the assertive Ms. Bennett we saw in the meeting earlier, compared to the
gentle and innocent Serena, their characters and attitudes are worlds apart. Could it be that they were
raised separately since childhood? One being the public face of the family and the other secretly
groomed to take over the family" Erica speculated.
"That's possible!" Dorothy nodded vigorously, “It really could be, otherwise, their personalities wouldn't
be so different. They appear to be about the same age, but Serena never involved herself in the
corporation, only appearing in high society. On the other hand, Ms. Bennett, whose name we had never
heard before, suddenly surfaced in the corporation. We never heard of her in high society circles
before."
“This must be the deep plot of the Collins family.” Patricia finally caught on.
Serena felt a few people whispering, probably about the wounds on her forehead and chin. She had
fallen quite hard today, and even walking was painful.
But for the sake of her image, she walked with elegance and grace. It was only when the elevator
doors closed that she hastily checked her appearance in the mirror, afraid of showing any signs of
disarray.
Julian just brewed a cup of coffee and was about to take it to the office when he heard the elevator
doors open.
Serena was here!
His expression froze, "Serena, what brings you here today? What happened to your forehead and
chin?"
“I took a fall.” Serena saw the coffee in his hands and smelled the familiar aroma in the air. Her smile
froze. It was Arabella. Arabella was still in Hans's office. She didn’t expect Hans to keep Arabella's
favorite coffee at the office. She recognized the scent; it was from those coffee beans. She couldn't
have mistaken it!
"Serena, you're here to see Mr. Collins, right? He's in his office now.” Julian, unaware of what had
transpired between Serena and Arabella, kindly reminded her, “Your sister is here too."
"How long has my sister been here?" Serena feigned ignorance, flashing a gentle smile.
“About an hour, I suppose."
An hour, who knew how many bad things Arabella had said about her to Hans!
Serena forced a smile, “Perfect, I made too much afternoon tea. My sister can have some too. Julian,
this is yours."
“Do I get one too?” Julian was about to receive it.
“You're holding coffee. It will be inconvenient. I'll put it on your desk."
"Thank you, Serena, you're so thoughtful."
"No problem."
Julian knocked on the office door, coffee in hand, "Ms. Bella, your coffee is here. Mr. Collins, Serena is
here too."
Hans didn't expect Serena to come. Wasn't she injured? Why did she come here?
