The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 74

"What?" Attlee thought he'd heard wrong.

Mrs. Panter said with superiority, "Those corporations have made it clear. Anyone who helps will meet the same fate."

Mrs. Panter wouldn't gamble everything the Panter family had for the girl her son liked and this impossible engagement!

Yolanda didn't expect Mrs. Panter to refuse outright. Her hands clenched into fists under the table. This was blatant disrespect to their family!

Zachary also let out a low, "Mom!"

Zachary's father quickly said, "Let's think this through. Let's eat first and talk later!"

"Right." Attlee got his message, poured a glass of wine to toast him, and said, "I almost forgot to thank you for helping to book a VIP room for Yoli's grandma and asking the doctor to take extra care of her."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Panter said, "No, we didn't. It's really hard to book a VIP room at Hope Hospital. How could we possibly do that? We don't have any connections there."

The Murphy family was stunned. Who booked it? Who asked the doctor to take good care of the elderly woman?

Suddenly, Attlee and Olga both remembered what Caden had said. Could it really be Arabella?

No way?

On the other side.

After having dinner with her parents, Arabella was about to leave when her phone buzzed. She had some business to take care of.

"Dad, Mom, you guys go ahead. I'm going to use the restroom. I'll be right there."

"Take your time; no rush!" After Louisa left, she whispered to Edith, "You wait for her and leave with her!"

"Alright." Edith waited in the private room. After a while, she saw Arabella coming out of the restroom. She went up and respectfully said, "Ms. Bennett, the car is waiting for you outside!"

Edith finally understood. She didn't know how these people had bullied her young lady before, but politely said, "Our madam was just saying the other day, why didn't you accept those gifts and all that cash?"

"What are you talking about?" Olga was stunned, thinking she'd misheard.

"It was the gifts the driver delivered on behalf of our master and madam! Those thirty shops are in the best locations downtown, and those thirty villas have the best views, not to mention the cash."

The Murphy family and the Panter family were dumbfounded. What was this woman talking about? Why didn't they understand her?

"All those gifts in the boxes were just a token of appreciation from our master and madam! You declined them; you're too kind!"

After hearing this, Olga was completely stunned!

Those few crappy gift boxes actually contained so many valuable things. Why didn't the driver clarify?

Wait, wasn't Arabella's real family really poor?
