The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1288

Inside the hospital.

Bard gazed at the email arrived from Janice, a hint of depth coloring his eyes.

Janice's father had successfully undergone a tumor removal while retaining all liver functions. In gratitude, Janice leaked some exclusive insider information to Bard.

The reason she had been constantly opposing him in the group was due to the influence of another senior director. A man who was distantly related to Bard, his uncle

When Bard inherited the group from his father, a number of relatives had already held various positions within the group. Many hoped to see him step down, including his uncle Arlen.

Bard had known about Arlen's discontent with his leadership, but he had underestimated just how far Arlen was willing to go behind his back.

Janice had detailed several incidents in the email, showing that she was acting under the instructions of Arlen. She also provided evidence to back up her claims.

Meanwhile, Janice sat anxiously beside her father's hospital bed.

Since sending Bard the email the previous night, she had received no reply from him even by 9:30 in the morning.

Knowing Bard, he was likely planning his countermove quietly, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. What she feared was being caught in the crossfire.

As for Arlen, if he found out about Janice's betrayal, he would surely make her life a living hell.

Janice was tired of being manipulated. She was prepared to die, but remembering her father's recent successful surgery, she didn't want to drag him into this mess.

Just then, Janice's phone rang, startling her. Upon seeing that it was Bard calling, she answered apprehensively.

"Mr. Bard?" Her voice trembled slightly.
