Do you think your little schemes go unnoticed? Save your second-rate tricks. | don't have the time or patience for your circus acts." With that, she strode off with her long legs, leaving Alma trailing in her wake.
Alma watched her retreating back, her mind racing. She couldn't let it end like this. With a huff, she hurried after Arabella. "Alright, yes, | admit it. | made it all up. | just want to join forces with you and drive Serena out of the Collins family. What do you say? Care to team up?" Arabella looked at her as if she had suddenly sprouted two heads.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Is she eating your food, drinking your water, or spending your money? What business of yours is it if she stays or goes? Keep this up, and you'll be the first one out of the Collins family." "What?" Alma hadn't expected Arabella to stand up for Serena. And she certainly hadn't expected such conviction in her voice.

Arabella's eyes held a promise. A promise that, somehow, she could single-handedly kick Alma out of the Collins family.
But she hadn't done something that was so terrible.
However, Arabella's gaze made Alma uneasy.
Louisa smiled as Arabella approached. "What were you two talking about? Finished already?" "We are just discussing a little alliance." Arabella's words took everyone by surprise, not just Louisa and Beverly, but Serena and even Alma herself.
That damned Arabella. Alma was seething.
“Alliance? What alliance?" Beverly seemed to have an inkling, but she couldn't believe Arabella would be so brazen. Trying to smooth things over, she said, "Is Alma starting a business?" "You'll have to ask her." Arabella's answer was evasive, but the look in her eyes made Beverly uneasy. The girl was too smart. She'd pieced together Beverly's suspicions.
And Alma was a fool. Of all the people she could've chosen, she chose Arabella.

Serena, too, seemed to have figured out what Arabella meant by an ‘alliance’. She glared at Alma, anger flaring in her eyes.
This was it. Alma had to be taught a lesson. She'd gone too far.
With that thought, Serena pulled out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Martha.
Martha had been with her for the past eighteen years, even more so than Louisa.
So naturally, whenever Serena faced trouble, Martha was the first person she turned to.
