The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 40

Serena twigged it right away. If there was no comparison, no one would know how bad Arabella was

and how great she was!

Martha was right. Let this country bumpkin have a taste of reality. She needed to know that Phillip was

always the leader, and would never respect such narrow–minded people!

“Don’t bother me for lunch.”

Arabella ordered the servant who was working on her way upstairs, locked herself in her room, and hit

the hay!

She was really tired because she stayed up all night writing, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down

on her pillow. When Kenneth and Louisa woke up and heard their darling daughter was skipping lunch,

they immediately summoned the chef, “Did breakfast not sit well with Bella?”

Daniel felt wronged, “Ms. Bennett left because of what Serena said, not because of the breakfast…”

“Serena?” Kenneth and Louisa were taken aback, then hastily asked, “What did Serena say?”

“Serena didn’t really say anything, just wanted Ms. Bennett to take her to see Phillip, but Ms. Bennett

didn’t agree…”

Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances and immediately said, “Go fetch Serena.”

When Serena was summoned, she didn’t expect Arabella would tattle to her parents over such a small

matter. She was already a grown woman but acted like a child refusing to eat. Serena was instantly

ticked off! –

But she tried to put on a pitiful face on the outside, pretending to be wronged.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t say anything excessive to my sister. just asked her if she could take me with her…

Phillip missed me and has been texting me to visit him. I couldn’t go because of exams…”

Serena saw their dubious faces and immediately took out her phone to show the chat history. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I also had free time only today, so I thought we could go together…”

Louisa didn’t expect the truth to be this. It seemed they read too much into it. How could Serena

compete with Bella for her fiancé?!

They made a mistake!

Arabella had no idea what happened in the morning. When she woke up, the clock was already

pointing to one in the afternoon.

She simply washed and changed her clothes, and as soon as she opened the door, she heard a noise

downstairs. “Romeo, you brought so many gifts for Bella last night, and today you brought us these

gifts… Thank you so much, but no need for those gifts next time. We’re all family, no need for gifts. You

even prepared gifts for Bella to meet your grandfather… We can’t possibly accept this! We’ve had the

gifts prepared, and we can’t cost you money this time!”

Arabella was puzzled when she heard this.

Romeo was here?

Didn’t they agree to meet at the front door?

How did he get in?

“No worries, Bella is my fiancée, I should prepare her meeting gifts.”

Romeo just finished speaking when he noticed Arabella descending the stairs. Her long and thin legs,

dressed in casual clothes, probably didn’t get enough sleep, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of

impatience.

She was kind of cute like this.

“Bella, are you awake? You must be hungry at this time, right?” Kenneth and Louisa hurriedly asked,

“Have something to eat before you go, the food is ready.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Arabella just wanted to rush to the hospital to complete the necessary procedures, then come back to

deal with work. Tomorrow was Monday, she had to go to the company her father gave her. She didn’t

have much time for personal matters.

But Louisa was worried she might be hungry, “The food in the kitchen is ready! You can try to eat a

bit, since Romeo’s here, you can eat together.”

“Right, Romeo usually eats at the company, maybe he didn’t get enough, you two can eat together.”

In this way, the two of them had something to eat before they left.

On the other side.

Phillip was constantly checking himself in the mirror, “Brodie, see if my hair is messy, if my clothes are

neat…”
