Chapter 1746
“In the grimy basement, a man by the name of Hugh, unfortunate enough to be caged next to a hitman,
was separated only by iron bars. Hugh made an offer to Serena. He could take out the hitman, but in
return, Serena had to ensure that Martha would leverage the influence of Doom to free him. He couldn't
be left to rot as a disposable pawn of the Doom. After a brief exchange with Martha, she agreed. So,
Hugh proceeded to strangle the life out of the hitman, who accepted his fate without a struggle,
preferring a silent death over endangering his family and friends.”
Kenneth and Louisa were stunned beyond belief, their minds reeling from the revelation. The truth was
far more twisted than they could have ever imagined.
Eunice, too, was caught off guard. Serena hadn’t actually killed anyone, but to protect Martha, she had
concealed the truth and played the innocent before them all.
If Hugh hadn't grown impatient in that claustrophobic cellar, tired of waiting for Martha to rescue him,
and hadn’t spilled the beans in a bid to save his own skin, they might still be in the dark.
Eunice took a sip of her coffee, setting down her mug with deliberate slowness. Her gaze drifted
towards Kenneth and Louisa.
"Hugh mentioned that Serena said something at the time," Eunice recounted. "She asked Martha—
didn't you say your hitman was reliable? So how did Auntie's people catch him and lock him up in her
basement?"
What did that imply?
It meant Serena knew Martha intended to hire a hitman to commit murder, to kill Bella.
Yet, not only did she not stop it, when things were about to be exposed, she sought to destroy the
evidence, abandon the hitman, and save Martha.
"Martha might as well be her real mother!" Louisa was livid, her heart twisting in agony. She closed her
eyes, took several deep breaths, and managed to replace a semblance of calm.
Kenneth's anger was palpable, a darkness edging his vision, nearly causing him to faint.
Their 'beloved daughter' of eighteen years had conspired with an outsider to harm their long-lost blood!
"To say her conscience has been eaten by dogs would be an insult to dogs." Louisa seethed with rage.
How could she? How could she conspire with Martha to have Bella killed? What had that poor child
done wrong? After suffering for eighteen years, she finally came home, only to have someone wish for
her death.
"She doesn't deserve to be part of the Collins family. Even the name Serena is ours to give, and she
does not deserve it! Someone fetch that wretched girl."
Perhaps due to her anger, the veins on Louisa's hand stood out starkly against her skin as she slapped
the coffee table.
Edith was about to summon Serena.
"Hold on," Louisa suddenly added, "bring more people."
Just in case Serena tried any tricks, played dead, or attempted to flee.
They had to be cautious!
Meanwhile.
Images of Martha falling from the eighteenth floor flashed through Serena's mind over and over. She
couldn't believe that the person who had loved her for eighteen years was gone.
From her initial anguished cries to her now subdued sobs, she had wept for what felt like an eternity.
Her tears flowed incessantly like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and she couldn't accept that a
living, breathing person was just gone.
It was Arabella!
Arabella was the cause of her death!
Even as Martha lay dying and bloodied, Arabella showed no mercy!!
That vile girl was a murderer!
She had killed Martha!!
Martha's death had been so cruel, so tragic.
Serena wept bitterly, her hands clutching her knees, her face buried in them, crying as though her heart
was breaking.
She knew no one would ever love her like Martha did.
