The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1973

Someone approached Sean, looking to share a couple of drinks, but he casually remarked, "Now, I've

got my little sis watching over me. I'll stick to water, thanks."

Water? At a gathering like this?

The once jovial Sean, a man never seen without a wine in hand, was sipping on water?

The guests were flabbergasted.

They watched in disbelief as Sean actually raised his glass of water for a toast. Panicked, they Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

hurriedly lowered their own glasses a touch to show deference. After clinking glasses with him, they

saw Sean nearly finished his drink and quickly downed theirs as well.

Tears brimmed in Serena's eyes, a mix of shame and anger boiling within her.

Was this really necessary?

Did Sean truly need to humiliate her so publicly at such a grand affair?

So what if she wasn't his biological sister? So what if she didn't carry the Collins family blood or had

once been cruel to Arabella? Did that warrant such harsh treatment?

Was all his past kindness just an act?

"Serena, don't cry." Dora, although aware of Serena's past mistakes, knew that now Serena was her

charge, her mistress. In that moment, all she could do was offer a tissue and a comforting word.

Watching the reporters flock to her brothers, Serena felt even worse.

Hans, the eldest, declared, "From the moment Serena tried to harm Bella, she is no longer my sister."

Chasel added, "We have only one sister, and that's Arabella."

Clark expressed, "We're deeply disappointed in Serena. Whatever happens to her now has nothing to

do with us."

Even David could not conceal his feelings, "After what she did to Bella, forgiveness isn't an option. Not

just as a sister, but even as an acquaintance. I hope she stops riding on Bella's coattails."

Hearing even David, who had always adored her, speak thus, Serena was utterly devastated.

Her tears, which had started in silence, grew into trembling sobs, and finally erupted into a heart-

wrenching cry.

The higher her brothers had lifted her in the past, the more painful her fall seemed now.

Her weeping echoed in the air, leaving the servants at a loss for how to help her.

In stark contrast to her downfall, Arabella's situation couldn't have been more glorious.

"Can you be more specific? What kind of things have they given you? Anything particularly

memorable?"

"They're all quite memorable." New chаpter avąilable on Drаmanоvels.cом

But the reporters were relentless, "Such as?"

Millions?
