The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1338

"Well, it's not Bess' fault. Eunice has always been disrespectful, never put anyone in her sight," Teresa didn't have much love for that wild child either. Watching her graceful figure walk away, a flicker of disgust passed through her eyes.

"Looks like the relatives here are not the easy-going type." Arabella followed Eunice to the long dinner table.

Eunice handed her a cupcake. "Eat something first."

Arabella knew that her aunt was baiting the mole in their midst, certainly planning something to provoke the traitor into a rage, losing their cool enough to attempt murder.

"We'll split up and search in a bit," Eunice said, lifting her beautiful smile as if she were discussing the latest season's fashion trends, not plotting a sting operation.

"Okay," Arabella responded, lifting a gentle smile of her own.

At that moment, a flustered socialite rushed forward, grasping Eunice's hand, "Isn't this Eunice? You're still alive?"

Eunice recognized the voice and knew the woman was someone who feigned closeness in public but often badmouthed her behind her back.

Smiling, she looked at the woman, "At my young age, how could it be my turn to die? Tiffany, how's you doing lately? Blood pressure still sky-high? Is it because Dave's been out chasing skirts again?"

Mrs. Laurier couldn't help but interject, "What kind of talk is that? Tiffany was genuinely concerned about you, and you respond by taking jabs at her. Men go out and fool around because there are too many loose women like you out there!"

"Enough, Mrs. Laurier. Eunice meant no harm," Tiffany said, her complexion souring.
