Chapter 570 Actually, Serenaâs staying with the Collins family seemed to have no real bearing on the whole plan. It was totally irrelevant.
The fact that Serena was taken by mistake was actually a misunderstanding.
And Martha just went with the flow!
Was it not as complicated as they had initially thought?
[If we want to get to the bottom of this, we need to start our investigation from scratch]
One thing was for sure, Martha was the woman in the same ward as Louisa at the hospital back then. She didnât die in the fire;
instead, she managed to keep her head down and survive.
âSo, whoâs Serenaâs biological father?â asked Arabella calmly.
[Weâre looking into it. I checked Marthaâs contact records with outsiders over the years and everything seems kosher. Thereâs no man of her age who sheâs been in frequent contact with]
Arabella remembered what Kenneth and Louisa had said earlier. They had people investigate it, and they found out that Serenaâs biological father had disappeared in the fire, and her biological mother was dead.
âOver the years, has Martha visited the graveyard, or secretly asked someone to visit it?â Arabella continued to enquire.
[No, sheâs been working as a nanny at your house and rarely goes out. Is it possible that Serenaâs biological father changed his name, thinking that his wife and daughter died in the fire, and remarried?]
Finding him would be a tall order if he had indeed changed his name and moved to a far-off city.
âNot sure.â
Without evidence, Arabella couldnât jump to conclusions. She just said, âIf Serenaâs biological father knew that his wife and daughter didnât die, and his daughter was living a good life, and his wife came to share this benefit, wouldnât he, as a father, want to share this benefit as well? Given Marthaâs character, she should have told him about this benefit. Investigate all the male employees the Collins family hired eighteen years ago.â [You mean, Serenaâs biological father might also be in your house?
Could he be a driver, or a bodyguard?] her subordinate asked in surprise. âThis is just a hunch, just check it out and see if anythingâs been overlooked.â
[Roger that Once the serious conversation was over, Arabellaâs subordinate joked, [Is school fun? How about letting me in to experience life a bit?] âYour face is too old.â
Her subordinate was instantly bummed out by her words. [Iâm only in my early twenties. If I wasnât running around helping you out all day, I wouldnât look this old]
The thing was, he didnât think he looked old at all, so why did he seem non-existent in Arabellaâs eyes?
Was it because she saw Romeoâs face every day and it raised her aesthetic standards? That must be the reason why sheâs so hard on him.
âEnough said,â Arabella didnât wait for him to say anything more. After hanging up, she picked up Romeoâs call.
âBella, who were you chatting with?â Romeo had called earlier, but she was busy. He tried again after a while, but still the line was busy. Now he finally got through âYouâve been talking for a long time, a male friend?â
âYes, a guy, in his twenties, Arabella asked with a smile, âDo you need me to send you his details?â
So it really was a guy!
Romeo had a feeling that she might be on the phone with a guy since he couldnt get through âOkay send it to me I promise I wonât cause him any troubleâ
Arabella laughed and asked, âDid you need something?â
âI missed you, canât I call you only for that reason?â Romeo sounded a bit upset, âWhat did he want? Did he have something important to deal with What could a twenty-something guy possibly have thatâs so important? Did you guys just meet today? Is he a classmate?â
