The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1902

"What's wrong?"

Martin had rushed over as soon as he finished his business, and upon seeing Serena clutching her old

paintings, sobbing her heart out, he couldn't help but scold the servants nearby, "Who thought it was a

good idea to bring Serena here?"

These things were part of Serena's cherished memories, and he couldn't bear the thought of the Collins

family tossing them away like trash. He didn't want Serena to see them discarded, so he had kept them

safe for her.

He had planned to wait until Serena was feeling better before he broke the news to her.

But the servants had brought her here too soon. Wasn't this just rubbing salt in her wounds, making her

feel even worse?

"I'm so sorry, sir, we had no idea these things would upset Serena." Dora and June quickly apologized

sincerely with regret.

"Everyone, out." Martin didn't want to see them anymore. He knelt gently in front of Serena, tenderly

wiping away her tears, at a loss for words.

Serena gazed at her childhood painting of a sunflower, remembering how Sean had proudly displayed

it on his bedroom wall, treasuring it so dearly.

But now, Sean just abandoned it.

Between sobs, Serena also discovered the gifts she had once given to her grandparents - emerald

rings and bracelets, all piled up here.

"Did they throw these away, too?" Serena's heart ached unbearably. They just disposed of such

precious, high-quality jewels without a second thought.

Had even her grandparents given up on her completely?

In the past, these things were inseparable from her grandparents, who cherished them daily, always

wearing them.

But now...

"They auctioned them off, donating all the proceeds to charity, saying they wanted to do something

good." Though it pained him, Martin revealed the truth, "I had someone bid on these for me."

It was inappropriate for him to appear in person.

At the auction two days ago, he had made sure to buy back all these things.

Serena hadn't realized Martin had done so much for her behind the scenes and couldn't help but

embrace him.

In the whole wide world, it seemed no one else could love her like he did.

After crying for a while, as if all hope was lost, she finally said resignedly, "Martin, when you have time,

help me take all the identification info and certificate I have at the Collins family."

At this point, she no longer wanted to stay where she was unwelcome. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

By leaving on her own terms, she could at least maintain some dignity.

"It's already been done. To be precise, it was Mr. and Mrs. Collins who removed you first."

Serena's eyes widened in disbelief, not knowing about this at all.

"Also, your bank accounts have been frozen. The Collins family said they've given you enough over the

years, and that money was theirs. They're going to leave it to Arabella."

Serena was utterly shocked. She never imagined that all the money from selling her properties, cars,

clothes, bags, and more, painstakingly handled by her and Martha, was now frozen, and eventually, it

would all go to Arabella.

Was she now left with nothing?

"But don't worry, you can use my cards. Every dime I earn is yours." Martin reassured her.
