The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 2013

"What are you up to?" Martin suddenly had a sinking feeling as the sound of rushing wind came

through the phone, "Channing? Channing??"

A loud crash echoed through the speaker.

The call ended automatically.

Martin was gripped by a sense of foreboding and immediately dialed one of his guys, "Find out where

Channing is now! Immediately—Right now—"

Just then, the maid Dora knocked on the study door and peeked inside to find her employer exuding

irritation and displeasure.

Her voice was timid, "Sir, Serena is looking to have a word with you."

"Tell her to wait, I've got some things to sort out." Martin loosened his tie, trying to calm himself down,

"Prepare some afternoon tea for her. Have her wait while nibbling on something. I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, sir." Dora hurried out and closed the door behind her.

Serena waited in her room, but only Dora returned, with no sign of Martin.

intensified.

Although she knew that incident was a thorn in his side, it had been so long. If he was giving her the

cold shoulder over this, using silent treatment as punishment, it seemed petty and vindictive.

him.

"Serena. Mr. Martin really seemed to have urgent business. Be careful—don't crash into the wall!" Dora

saw Serena mishandle the wheelchair, nearly hitting a wall, and was petrified. She rushed over to grab

the wheelchair, "Serena, let me push you there."

If Serena went on her own and something happened, Dora would bear even greater responsibility.

In the study.

Martin soon received another call.

To outsiders, it looked like Martin had instructed him to take the leap.
