"Delegating minor tasks to an assistant was my suggestion to her." Once again, people in the room were stunned. All faces turned to stone.
So, Mr. Collins knew all along.
“Letintroduce you to my sister, Arabella. She'll be taking over more than half of the company's operations in the future. Please, be gentle with her. After all, she's still in school and can't spare much time." Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
This seemingly arrogant young lady was Mr. Collins’ sister.
Nobody had ever heard about another girl in the Collins family.

“Until we, the Collins family, decide to publicly announce her identity, | don't want to hear any rumors or gossip outside. | hope everyone can respect this." Hans' words left everyone stunned for a moment before they collectively responded, "Yes!" "Bella, say hello to everyone.” When Hans looked at his sister, his eyes were filled with warmth, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.
Everyone realized then that Mr. Collins’ previous tenderness wasn't the calm before the storm, but the affection and concern of a brother for his sister! The reason Arabella was seated next to Mr. Collins was not shidden agenda, but simply because she was his sister! "Hello everyone, I'm Arabella. Looking forward to working with you all in the future.” Arabella's eyes sparkled with a hint of nonchalance and curiosity.
Mr. Armand, seeing her expression and hearing her words, could barely stay on his feet, "Ms. Bennett, | apologize for my earlier rudeness. Please forgive me." "| failed to recognize your importance earlier, Ms. Bennett. Please, let bygones be bygones and consider it a joke." Mr. Carter also stood up awkwardly to apologize, fearing Arabella might hold a grudge against him.
“Ms. Bennett, I'm truly sorry for offending you earlier. | hope you can forgive me!" Mr. Baldwin also looked mortified, wishing he could disappear into thin air. He blamed himself for his thoughtless remarks.
