"Me, argue with her?" Romeo sounded exasperated. Arguing was simply not in his nature; he'd rather
let Arabella win.
"What the hell happened?" Carl was utterly confused.
"Just a pesky fly buzzing around my ears, getting on my nerves."
A fly? Carl was stumped. It took him a second to associate Serena with the fly. Could the boss be
referring to Serena? Poor girl. In the boss's eyes, she was no more than a fly. Once upon a time, she
was at least human. Now, she wasn't even that.
Romeo took out his phone again, dialed Kenneth, and said there was an urgent matter at the group
that he needed to attend to. He would have to hitch a ride with Carl and have dinner with Arabella later.
"No problem, you do your thing."
Romeo was puzzled, not quite catching Kenneth's drift.
"Arabella is still young, isn't she?" Kenneth chuckled on the other end of the phone.
Romeo quickly caught on, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I messed up."
Kenneth was taken aback by his response, "No, it's not your fault."
"Mainly because Arabella is too stunning. You did a fantastic job raising her. I'm truly honored to be part
of Bella's family. I'll come visit as soon as I've sorted out work. I want to make you guys happy."
After hanging up, Kenneth was still shell-shocked. Romeo sure had a way with words. What was his
main point again? He left such an impression that Kenneth forgot what he was going to say.
Meanwhile, Kelly bought a bunch of stuff to share with her dorm mates and treated them to dinner. Her
warmth and cheerfulness quickly won the other two girls over. And because she always included
Arabella, the other girls quickly became friends with her as well.
That night, Kelly generously shared her extra skincare products with the other two girls. They chatted
and laughed in the living room.
After taking a shower, Arabella chucked her clothes into the washing machine and then stood on the
balcony, listening to the investigation report.
"Martha and Serena are really mother and daughter! The DNA test shows a 99.99% match! It's like a
soap opera!"
As she was drying her hair, Arabella calmly said, "I saw it coming."
"But it's confusing. How could a maid successfully place her daughter in your parents' care? There are
two possibilities. After the health clinic explosion, Martha discovered her daughter had been swapped
with the daughter from the Collins family. Seeing your family was well-off, she faked her death and
worked as a maid in your home, hoping her daughter could lead a better life. The other possibility is
that she has a puppet master. She might know who plotted the fire, but this seems less likely and
raises a lot of questions."
For instance, with her level of intelligence, she's hardly the cunning type to pull strings for someone.
There's nothing particularly special about her that would make any puppet master favor her and ensure
her survival.
