The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1339

The Collins were known to treat their daughter like a princess, spoiling her with every whim and fancy.

"You just wait!" Mrs. Laurier fumed, her skirts billowing dramatically as she stormed off.

Tiffany wanted to call her back but felt powerless; she could only turn to Eunice. "Eunice, you usually play your pranks, and I chalk it up to Bard spoiling you rotten. But today is Arlen's birthday. Can't you at least save face for his friends? If you cause a scene, it won't look good for either side."

"Thanks for the heads-up, Tiffany," replied Eunice with a smirk. "I also have a video of Dave. Do you want to see it?"

Tiffany's face flushed with anger as she clicked away in her heels.

Arabella, nearby, couldn't help but smile. "Why can't they just take a hint? They've probably never managed to get the better of you, and now they're just asking for trouble."

"Some people are just full of themselves, thinking they're invincible," Eunice said elegantly, finishing her champagne. "I’m going to take a walk outside."

"Sure," Arabella said, watching her leave. She grabbed a quick bite from the table and was about to leave when a girl suddenly came up close, pretending to be bumped by Arabella's shoulder, dropping her cupcake on the floor.

"Arabella!" Rose exclaimed, her voice filled with anger. "It was bad enough you bullied me yesterday, but today, on Arlen's birthday, he just wanted a taste of that mint chocolate chip cupcake, and you can't even grant him that small pleasure! What is your problem?"

The other guests couldn't help but look over. Speaking was Rose Griffith, the cherished granddaughter of Calvin and Bess. Their eyes then drifted to the girl opposite her. She was beautiful but somewhat unfamiliar.

"Think you can do whatever you want just because you're Kenneth and Louisa's daughter?" Rose deliberately made her identity known.

The crowd had a moment of realization. She's Kenneth and Louisa's daughter? They hadn't seen her for years, and she'd grown up so lovely, resembling Louisa.
