The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2056

"Martin, save me!" Despite shielding her head and face, Serena didn't cease her cries for help within

the hospital room, "Martin, come quick, your sister's gone mad."

Diana's rage intensified, her stiletto heel aimed menacingly at Serena's unprotected head.

The next second, however, the heel didn't make its intended contact; instead, it was caught firmly by

Martin's hand.

"Martin, where did you.go?" Serena immediately clung to Martin, her tears flowing freely, "I was so

scared I'd never see you again."

Diana was sickened by the display.

"What the hell are you doing?" Martin glared at his sister, furious beyond reason. He had only stepped All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

out to handle some paperwork, and in the blink of an eye, chaos had erupted. What infuriated him even

more was the sight of the two maids and nurses standing by idly while his sister attempted to bludgeon

his girlfriend with her shoes!

Wielding her stiletto like a dagger, Diana accused, "Mom's life is hanging by a thread, and have you,

her son, shown any concern? This tramp has caused all this suffering, and you think I’ll stand by? How

dare she shamelessly force her way into the Cooper family? Doesn't she need to pay any price for her

brazenness? The little discomfort she's experiencing is nothing compared to what Mom's going

through!"

"Martin, let's call off the engagement. I can't bear this burden any longer." Serena whimpered from her

wheelchair, looking the picture of vulnerability, "I want nothing more than for your mom to live a long,

healthy life. Your sister has it all wrong. Your mother's heart attack was something none of us wanted to

see."

"Save your crocodile tears for someone who buys them." Diana looked as if she wanted to lunge

forward and strike again.

"Enough." Martin barked in a tone that brooked no argument, "Get out."

Serena felt a sting of injustice. That madwoman had hit her multiple times, and Martin was letting her

walk away without consequence? Clearly, Martin still favored his own family.

Fuming, Diana turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.

Martin immediately knelt beside the wheelchair, checking for injuries, "Did she hurt you anywhere?"

"Martin." Serena began, on the verge of recounting her ordeal when suddenly, Diana, pretending to

have left, hurled her stilettos back into the room. One struck Serena squarely on the head, the other on

her face.

Blood gushed from Serena’s nose, her mouth swollen from the impact, teeth stained red.

"Diana!" Martin turned to rebuke his sister, only to see her striding away barefoot, head held high,

leaving the chaos behind her.

"What are you all standing around for? Help Serena with her wounds, NOW!" Martin's anger was

directed at the nurses nearby.

The nurses finally snapped to attention and hurried to assist.

Meanwhile.

"Boss, we got something." Jack's voice came through the phone to Arabella, "Several companies under

Lucas’ name have run into trouble. Looks like someone called 'Stinger' is behind it. Not much is known

about him, but we've tracked him to a rural auction happening at six this evening." Reаd at
