Chapter 1399

"Fantastic!" Aunt Eunice beamed, her smile so wide it looked like her face might split in two. “Then, I won't hold back. Oh, I'm just so fond of you!"

Realizing she might have gotten a tad too excited, especially with Martin and Serena around, Eunice cleared her throat and regained her composure. "Now, my dear nephews-in-law, you haven't told me, what was the misunderstanding about? And what's this I hear about a scuffle right on your own doorstep?"

Romeos piercing gaze shifted to Martin.

“Before we delve into that; Martin began, with a hint of hesitation, “may I be so bold as to ask who this is?" His eyes moved to Arabella.

Eunice's eyes widened in surprise, glancing between Martin and Serena in confusion. “What's the matter?

Serena, haven't you introduced your sister to your boyfriend?"

Serena's face drained of color, the inevitable confrontation she dreaded was unfolding before her.

She attempted a reassuring smile, but it faltered and failed. Eunice immediately sensed something was amiss.

"This is Arabella, the Collins family's prized gem, my very own niece,’ Eunice introduced with a touch of pride.

At the mention of “niece,” Martin looked startled, his gaze lingering thoughtfully.

“Eighteen years ago, there was a mix-up at the hospital when it caught fire. Louisa took the wrong child home, mistaking Serena for Bella."

Martin turned to look at the girl beside him, bewildered as to why she never mentioned any of this.

“Bella was found just six months ago. Since Serena's parents were nowhere to be found, the Collins family took her in. Since then, Bella has been considered the elder sister, and she, the younger."

Serena's pride and self-respect crumbled as Eunice narrated the tale, leaving her utterly defeated.

Eunice was taken aback by this revelation. Romeo was ready to disregard years of family friendship over the engagement to Serena.

It was clear proof that he harbored no romantic feelings for Serena!

From the beginning, he genuinely did not care for her!

Martin was again so shocked he found himself speechless, staring at the girl beside him, unable to reconcile the image she had painted of Romeo's affections with reality.

Could it all have been lies?

"Serena, Martin is your boyfriend. How could you keep such matters from him?" Aunt Eunice chided from the head of the table. "Aren't you two supposed to be the closest of confidants?"

Serena was at a loss, her mind a blank slate, unable to muster a single word in her defense.
