NovelOnlineSean glanced at his phone screen, and with a sly smile, Arabella teased, "Sean, you lost."
The rule they had set for their gwas clear: No peeking at the phone, not even once.
"Ahaha, | did! | just couldn't resist. A bet's a bet."
When Sean checked his phone, as expected, there was a notification for a deposit of 5 million dollars. He considered the windfall a
reward and without hesitation, he transferred the whole sum to his sister's number through the mobile banking app.
Then he texted David, [Let's see if you dare to trickagain.]
David hadn't anticipated that Sean would actually pull a fast one on him. How scheming he was! Did he have to do this to him for 5
million dollars? He almost believed something happened to Bella!!
[You...you gotgood!] David was at a loss for words, but relieved that Bella was fine, the weight in his heart lifted.

Arabella’s phone chimed with the transfer notification as soon as she powered it on. She uttered immediately, "Sean, it's just a
game; you really don’t need to sendthe money."
She hadn't intended to win Sean's money; it was all just for having sentertainment with Sean since there was nothing much to
do.
"Don't you dare send it back. We agreed on the rules, and besides, spending money on you makeshappy. Plus, I'll let you in on
a secret: this cash ceasy; | didn't break a sweat earning it!" Sean's mood was clearly buoyant as he added, "Get srest.
I'm gonna take a shower."
As Arabella watched him climb the stairs, her phone buzzed again with a message from David asking what she was up to, along
with eleven missed calls.
[Needsfor something? | was just playing a gwith Sean] she texted back.
[What game?] David had a hunch that this gwas somehow connected to the 5 million he'd just lost.
[Sean bet on who could go without touching their phone for half an hour. The winner got a $5 million prize.]
So that was it! Sean had swindled his money to cheer up his sister! Sneaky dog!
But in the end, it was all going into his sister's bank account, so David couldn't really feel bad about it. As long as she was happy,
so was he.
Louisa was strolling through the garden, arm in arm with Kenneth, when a servant abruptly approached with news.
"Mrs. Collins, Mr. Cooper is here. He's waiting at the gate. He's concerned because he hasn't heard from Serena in two days and
cto check on her."
Louisa hadn't expected such devotion from that young man toward Serena and casually instructed, “Tell him the girl has made a
mistake and we’ve confined her as punishment.”
“Yes, Mrs. Collins,” the servant promptly replied and withdrew.

"Martin's a good kid, too bad." Kenneth couldn't help but comment, "If only the girl knew how to cherish him, with Martin doting on
her, she'd be living a charmed life."
Walking behind them, Eunice, who was holding Bard's arm, added in a soft voice after hearing what he said, "If she knew how to
cherish her luck, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. It's her own insatiability that's to blame, not anyone else's."
After a while, the servant returned, "Mrs. Collins, Mr. Cooper insists on seeing you. He seems even more anxious now."
"I will not see him," Louisa stated, not wanting to waste words.
"Mr. Cooper says he'll wait outside until you agree to meet him."
Kenneth sighed, "The boy always had determination. If we don't see him, he might indeed wait out there for a night or two."
After all, it was with that sdetermination and patience that he had built his successful business at such a young age and won
Serena's heart.
"Fine, bring him to the garden."
If he wanted the truth, she might as well tell him everything and let him see Serena for who she really was.
