Chapter 335
Serena was kind of bummed out. She thought Romeo was going to confess his feelings to her or maybe invite her out for a coffee or a chat.
“I just wanted to tell her that I only like you.”
Everyone was stumped.
“Last time I had breakfast at your place, your parents were still sleeping. She confessed her feelings to me, and I turned her down.”
Serena’s eyes widened; she didn’t expect Romeo to bring this up.
Martha couldn’t believe it either, Romeo actually said this!
And this was all on speakerphone!
Speakerphone!
Sure enough, Kenneth and Louisa couldn’t believe it either, and their faces turned super ugly.
“I don’t like her, I want her to get the hint; I don’t want her to hurt you guys; I’m warning her not to bully you.”
When he said “bully“, he put extra emphasis on it. Everyone was shocked. Was he implying that Serena was often bullying Arabella behind the scenes? That’s too much information to handle
“You’re just too nice,” Romeo’s voice was full of affection and concern. “You always keep me out of it; you won’t let me talk to your parents; you think I don’t know how you’re being treated at home.”
Arabella listened to him, amused. This guy sure knew how to talk.
Kenneth and Louisa, hearing that their beloved daughter was being mistreated at home, felt even more heartbroken and angry.
“You’re afraid they’ll be upset, but if you don’t tell them the truth, the only one who’ll end up hurt is you; you’re taking on too much. Not all kindness gets rewarded; I know you don’t expect anything in return; you’re just that kind of pure person.”
Romeo knew she was on speakerphone, deliberately saying it for certain people to hear: “No matter what she does, I only like you, and that won’t change in this lifetime.”
Serena felt like she’d been struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.
I’m hanging up now.” Arabella didn’t wait for him to finish, and she hung up the phone.
Everyone was quiet.
They couldn’t believe that Serena had such ambitions–seducing Romeo behind the scenes and bullying Arabella!
“Dad, Mom, it’s not what you think.” Serena tried to get up to explain, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn’t move. She collapsed onto the couch, feeling like her bones were about to fall apart.
“You’re saying Romeo is lying?” Louisa didn’t believe that Romeo would lie. His status meant there was no need for him to frame others.
“We treated you like our own daughter, but behind our backs, you tried to seduce Bella’s fiancée and bully her!” Louisa angrily slapped the table..
Scared, Serena crawled to her feet and said, “Mom, mom, you’ve got it all wrong! That was in the past! I did have some inappropriate thoughts about my brother–in–law in the past! But I let it go! I really let it go!”
“Lady, don’t be misled! We should be focusing on Serena’s fall today!” Lily quickly changed the subject.
“You shut up!” Louisa knew this servant was no good either!
“Do you want to know the truth?” Arabella’s voice was calm and composed: “If you want the truth, then let me show you! Edith, could you please fetch my laptop from my room?”
“Sure.” Edith quickly went to get the laptop.
Before long, Arabella was typing line after line of code in front of everyone.
Everyone watched as the screen filled with lines of code. They had no idea what she was doing, but it looked super professional!.
Kenneth and Louisa were also confused by their daughter’s actions. What was she doing?
Not too long after, the surveillance footage from 5:30 to 6 p.m. was restored.
Martha couldn’t believe what she was seeing, so she quickly turned to Lily.
Lily was also shocked. How could this be? She had personally deleted the half–hour footage.
She even cleared the recycle bin.
