The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1296

Upon concluding her conversation with Cornell, Arabella casually instructed Gordon, "Spread his current location as soon as possible."

"Roger that." Gordon whipped out his phone and immediately disseminated the information.

Cornell, who was just pinned against the wall by Arabella by his hair, rubbed his sore scalp and cautiously asked, "Are you guys working for Darren?"

"That's not for you to ask," Arabella retorted coldly.

"What should I do next?"

"Go to the corner store, pick up some stuff, and then go home. Wait for the fish to bite."

With no other choice, Cornell complied.

"We'll head to his place first."

Arabella deliberately chose to part ways with Cornell. Gordon, feeling anxious, quickened his pace to catch up with Arabella and whispered, "Ms. Bella, are you sure you trust him? What if he uses the excuse of going to the store to bolt?"

"He's more afraid of us bolting on him."

Gordon glanced back and sure enough, Cornell was constantly looking back, evidently worried they'd vanish. Gordon decided to let it slide.

"If he wants to stay alive, he'll cooperate." Arabella confidently declared.

Ten minutes later.

Cornell returned home with a pack of cigarettes. Not long after, there was a knock at the door.

Cornell didn't dare to answer it, looking to Arabella for guidance. Arabella motioned for him to ignore it.
