Chapter 1058

At the mention of this, a shade of unease crossed Martha's features, her hand unconsciously fluttering up to smooth down her hair.

This small gesture did not go unnoticed by Arabella, only serving to confirm her suspicions. Just as she had suspected, Martha was indeed wearing a wig.

The living room was dim, the only source of light being the faint glow filtering in from the garden lamps outside. It gave the room an eerie feel, setting one's nerves on edge.

Martha hadn't expected Arabella to have been investigating her, let alone be privy to certain information.

How could this be? How did Arabella find out about those well-guarded secrets from the past? Or was Arabella just bluffing, fishing for a reaction without actually possessing any concrete evidence?

“The one outside, come in. I know it's you,’ Arabella called out, her words causing the person lurking outside to hold their breath in a sudden wave of apprehension.

Martha glanced uneasily towards the door. "Miss Bella, I think you may be mistaken. There's nobody outside"

"Oh, do you think that by hiding, I wouldn't know who you are? Erik, your acting skills are subpar at best. Did you really think you could fool me in my own house?" Arabella retorted, her voice cold as ice as she gazed in their direction.

“I'm not in the mood for a game of hide and seek. If Serena wants to continue living here, then she better behave herself."

After all, she would only be here for a few more years before getting married and moving out. Out of sight, out of mind.

“But if you continue with your little schemes..."

"What schemes?" Martha interjected, feeling wronged. "Miss Bella, you're making accusations without any evidence. How can you treat people like this?"

Louisa was having a restless night, vaguely hearing the sounds of an argument in the distance.

Soon after, a phone call jotted her awake. Seeing that it was her mother calling, she hurriedly answered.

“Mom, what brings you to call me today?" She slipped out of bed, tiptoeing to the balcony as she spoke in hushed tones.

“Louisa, darling, the sun is shining so brightly today, it reminded me of the day you were born. It was a day just like this, clear and bright. I just couldn't resist calling you. I hear that it's 12 hours ahead over there. Are you sleeping now?"

"No, Kenneth and I haven't gone to bed yet. How are you feeling lately, mom?"

Louisa asked, concern lacing her voice.
