The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode -
Chapter 1550
Chapter 1550
Serena fumed, her mother had effectively cut off all her escape routes.
"Can you sneak me those skincare products later, Betty?" Serena tried to negotiate, "Those two
helpers are as dumb as they come. They didn't even remember to bring me toner this afternoon! I need
my skincare routine before bed."
"Mrs. Collins said, Ms. Arabella Collins doesn't use all those jars and bottles, and you won't be needing
them either."
Serena's face stiffened, "What does it mean?"
"It means that if Ms. Arabella Collins isn’t using all those skincare products, you don’t need them
either."
Not even her skincare products were spared!!
"What about changing clothes? There are only two outfits upstairs. Don't tell me, mom only allowed you
to bring me two sets?" Serena asked, not ready to accept this.
"Yes, Mrs. Collins said you're here to reflect, not to enjoy life. You only need enough clothes for two
days, the rest are in the main house and we weren’t permitted to bring them over."
Serena was livid. So, in this guesthouse, she was supposed to live like a guest, without the luxuries of
being a part of the Collins family?!
Was that it?! Was that what her mother intended?
This was just too much!!
"Ms. Serena Collins, do you need anything else? I only have ten minutes left." Betty glanced at the
clock, growing anxious, "If I go over an hour, I lose ten dollars off my wage for every minute."
Serena hadn't imagined her mother would be so ruthless. To discourage the staff from chatting with her,
she had even made it a matter of time and money.
"Don't be too down, Ms. Serena Collins. Maybe one day Mrs. Collins will remember your good qualities,
or see that you've repented, and she might let you out early."
At the mention of this, Serena scoffed coldly. Her mother had hardened her heart to this extent, almost
leaving her to fend for herself. Hoping for her mother to fondly recall her good traits seemed like waiting
for a blue moon.
"In about ten days, both families' elders will visit. Your grandparents, and all your uncles and brothers,
someone will surely speak up for you. Then, Mrs. Collins would consider what they said, and it'll only
be natural for you to join the family reunion."
Since Martha left, Betty had been the only kind soul to Serena.
Serena thought there was some logic to it. New Year’s Eve was the biggest day for them, all about
togetherness.
But with ten days to go, she didn't even know how to get through these coming days. Especially with
the plain meals three times a day, no one to talk to, and no permission to leave the place.
"What if mom only lets me join the dinner on New Year, and then sends me right back here?" Serena
worried. That could mean being shut away indefinitely.
"The thing that upset Mrs. Collins the most, the thing she cares about, is that you disrespected Ms.
Arabella Collins. If you just correct that, considering the eighteen years of affection, she might let you
off the hook. She can't possibly keep you here after the New Year, especially when school starts again,
right?"
Serena felt there was sense in these words.
