The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1331

Before she could finish her sentence, Arabella kicked a leather footstool nearby with such force that it flew across the room and hit Rose squarely in the face.

Rose was instantly dazed, her nose bleeding, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.

“You dare hit her in front of me.” Bess was furious, pointing at Arabella, “How could I have a niece like you?”

“Bella, you haven’t said why you hit her?” Eunice asked leisurely.

“She disrespected you and my parents, tarnishing your reputations, not a single civil word out of her mouth.” Arabella looked coldly at the figure on the ground, “If not her, then who?”

Eunice held back a smile, glanced at Bess, then looked at Arabella with approval, “Seems like someone didn’t teach her manners at home, good job setting her straight, Bella.”

Bess was livid.

“Bess, you have two choices now,” Eunice continued, “one, take your people and leave my estate within a minute, or two, I hand you over to Bard and call Calvin to pick you up.”

“Eunice.” Bess was fuming, about to curse.

“Timekeeper, start the clock.” Eunice sat elegantly in the main seat of the living room, her laziness and authority intermingled, exuding an indescribable feminine charm.

Her bodyguard released Bess' arm, and Bess pointed at Eunice’s nose, threatening, “You just wait, there will be hell to pay after Bard personally comes to apologize. I won’t let you off the hook! Let's go!”

Bess helped Rose up, while Rose cried pitifully, “Grandma, we can’t let that bitch off, look what she did to me.”

“Hold on a moment,” Eunice suddenly said.

Bess turned around irritably, “What now? You want to detain someone? I’m telling you.”

Eunice approached with grace, “Seems like the lesson from Bella wasn’t clear enough, your precious granddaughter hasn’t learned her manners.”

Before Bess could react, Eunice raised her hand and slapped Rose hard across the face.
