Chapter 281 “How can a young person go to bed so early?” Louisa suddenly understood. No wonder Bella sounded a bit off when she called this morning. Did Brooklyn give her trouble? Did the designer from the Reed family also join the design competition today? Thinking about it, Kenneth asked a bit angrily, “Is this injury on your hand related to her? If it is, I'll make the Reed family explain!” “This has nothing to do with others.” Arabella said, looking at Serena, “Aren't you going to make a phone call?” Serena had to reluctantly take out her phone. If she made the call, wouldn't all the lies be exposed? How could she live with herself after that? “Ms. Bella, Serena has always treated you like her own sister. You misunderstood—her Martha said, pretending to be heartbroken, “In Serena’s heart, you hold the highest place. How could she possibly badmouth you, hurt your feelings, and destroy this precious sisterhood?” Arabella was annoyed. So all of this was her fault? Serena was innocent? “Martha.” Louisa reached out to stop her from continuing: “I know very well what kind of person Serena is, but Bella isn’t someone who talks nonsense and creates trouble for no reason. Brooklyn is someone I've watched grow up since she was a kid.

Even though she’s a bit spoiled, she wouldn't be so unreasonable.” Hearing this, Martha and Serena felt a sense of unease.

“If Brooklyn knew that Bella was my biological daughter and her engagement with Romeo was justified, and they both really liked each other. If she knew Serena's status, she wouldn't easily give Bella trouble.” There were only two possibilities. One was that she didn’t know Serena was adopted, and the other was that she didn’t know Bella's real identity.

So, did Serena not tell her, or did she deliberately hide it from her, misleading her? This was important.

“If that girl from the Reed family thought that Bella stole Serena's fiancée, then what would Bella become?” A shameless person who destroyed other people's relationships? A scheming girl? “That's a serious issue. If it's your friend who misunderstood, you should call her and explain everything. Louisa said, With tears in her eyes, Serena said in a pitiful voice, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I'll call Brooklyn right now.” “Put it on speaker; | want to hear what she has to say.” “Madam?” Martha looked surprised. “Don’t you trust Serena? You weren't like this before Ms. Bella chome.” Tears streamed down Serena's face. She felt wronged.

“Bella suffered for eighteen years outside. Since the moment she stepped into this house, | have made a vow in my heart that from now on, | will protect her and not let her get hurt!” Louisa looked at Martha and said, “Our whole family has regarded Serena as our own child for the last eighteen years. Even after Bella cback, our care and concern for Serena haven't lessened! We're just showing a little more concern for Bella now! Is that wrong?” Seeing this, Martha immediately changed her attitude and hurriedly said, “Madam, you misunderstood; of course it's right.” “Now that | know about this, | can’t let my biological daughter be subject to all these rumors! | must find out what's really going on. Go make the call; call Brooklyn” The truth would soon cout.

Serena knew she couldn't avoid it. With tears streaming down her face, she dialed Brooklyn's alternate number.
