Chapter 385

“You were all cocksure when you made the bet. Now you’re not gonna try to weasel out of it, are you?

Edith said with feigned boredom. “If that’s the case, it’d be such a killjoy We won’t be betting with you

anymore”

“You guys bet that big?” Louisa didn’t give a hoot, thinking they were just joking around. They’ve had

little wagers among the servants before, all for fun.

“Martha, you always play favourites with Serena Did you think about the consequenons of making such

a big bet?” Louisa chuckled. “Arabella and Serena are both daughters of this house You can’t be

biased You going to be fair to everyone!

Martha smiled awkwardly, “Alright, I’ll go get the cloth now, Ms Bella. Please wait a moment”

When she turned around, she was seething inside, muttering under her breath about what a chatterbox

Edith was, so annoying!

Arabella raised an eyebrow slightly If this servant wanted to shine shoes, she’d let her shine alright.

“Bella, why do you want to apply to Westerly College? I heard the teacher say earlier that the principal

of Westerly College knows you. How does he know you’re interested in drug research and used lab

equipment to attract you?” Kenneth, sitting on the sofa, asked curiously.

Before Arabella could answer, Louisa jumped in. “Isn’t it obvious? Bella is into medicine and loves to

research. When the principal discovered her interest, he used this to attract her Isn’t that normal?

Moreover, their whole school is medical. They definitely need a lot of medical equipment for research,

not just for Bella.”

“It’s just a pity, though, schools like Helgen College and Summerfield College.”

Many students dream of getting into these two schools! But Bella actually chose to ditch them.

Louisa said, “The school that interests Bella is a good school! Although Helgen College and

Summerfield College are awesome, their medical research is not as good as Westerly College. Bella’s

choice is pretty cool.”

By this time, Martha had brought the cloth and was kneeling down to shine Arabella’s shoes.

She had never had such an experience, feeling utterly humiliated!

“Thank you,” Arabella said with a smile, watching Martha.

Martha, holding back her anger, smiled back, “It’s my pleasure to serve you.”

“Is it?” Edith laughed, “Ms. Bella is the best student in the country. It indeed is your honour. You’ll have

to serve Ms. Bella more in the future!”

Martha was speechless.

Geez!

She talked too much!

Louisa’s kindly gaze fell on Arabella. She didn’t take their banter seriously and continued, “Thankfully,

Westerly College is in Summerfield, not far from us. Bella, do you want to live on campus or at home?”

Arabella smiled faintly and replied, “I haven’t decided yet.”

“Wherever you choose to live, come home on the weekends if you have time! Otherwise, I’ll miss you!”

Kenneth said this, then turned to Serena, “Serena, I haven’t asked you yet. Which school do you want

to apply to?”

Serena felt incredibly aggrieved. Her parents had ignored her for a while, and now they suddenly

remembered her.

Suppressing her inner grief, she said calmly, “The cut–off score for Summerfield College has been over

700 in the past. If I apply, I should have a good chance.” Even though Summerfield College was the

school that Arabella didn’t want to go`to, Westerly College was also the one she, Serena, wouldn’t

touch with a ten–foot pole!!

“So you plan to apply to Summerfield College?” Kenneth said with a benevolent smile, “Summerfield

College is great. It’s close to Westerly College. You two can look out for each other in the future.”

Arabella thought to herself “Why would I look out for her?”

Serena also thought “They make it sound like I need her to look out for me!!”

“Ms Bella, do you think the shoes I shined are clean?” Martha asked with a smile.
