The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 125

Serena was completely floored. Even Kenneth and Louisa couldn't believe it, both of them blurting out, "Designed by Romeo?"

"This design is way too good, isn't it?" Louisa kept gushing, "Even better than what our professional jewelry designers can do. The shape, the creativity. Love really does make a difference, huh?"

Who'd have thought Romeo had such a romantic side? Kenneth chuckled appreciatively and said, "Romeo, you're such a sweetheart, making such a unique piece. Bella, have you ever given anything to Romeo?"

Arabella was stumped. Indeed, she realized that since they met, it had been all about Romeo’s giving and her taking. She hadn't really returned the favor or even properly thanked him.

"You see, Phillip gave you that necklace with a special meaning, and Romeo personally designed this bracelet for you. Maybe when you have some time, think about what you can give them in return." Kenneth suggested it with a warm smile.

"It's all good." Romeo brushed it off, sparing the girl beside him any embarrassment. He sincerely said, "Bella is the best gift the McMillan family has ever received. I just want her; nothing else matters."

Arabella looked at him, his eyes full of love and tenderness. Overwhelmed, she quickly looked away.

"Romeo, you sure have a way with words." Louisa chuckled approvingly. "Such a tender, tall, and handsome young man. Bella, you better hold onto him. I can tell Romeo would make a great husband."

Arabella was speechless.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Serena was utterly speechless!

She was already at the last step of the staircase. One more step, and she would be at the top, no longer able to hear their conversation.

But she felt as if she was frozen in place, unable to move!

Romeo had designed a bracelet for Arabella and even said such sweet and sincere words!

When she got downstairs, Romeo had already left. Only Kenneth, Louisa, Arabella, and Edith remained in the living room.

Serena took a quick look and decided not to go downstairs, instead hiding beside the staircase to eavesdrop.

"I heard about the canteen incident from the company. I can't believe Dave is so despicable. He's been feeding our employees food full of all kinds of additives for a whole year!" Kenneth was furious. "Thank God Bella found out. Otherwise, our employees would have continued to suffer, and the company would have lost a lot of money!"

Louisa was also hearing about this for the first time: "That's so heartless! Thank goodness Bella is capable and discovered this! But Bella, where did you learn all this professional knowledge?"

Incredible!

How did she know what additives to add to which foods to produce certain dishes?

Today, the company staff were left dumbfounded by how casually yet confidently she exposed all the canteen's "conspiracies".
