The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1350

Eunice gazed at the jet's distinctive silhouette and emblem. There was no mistake. It was Bard's private plane!

That very aircraft had whisked him away on business earlier that day.

Bard had promised her he'd return as soon as his work was done.

She was in shock for a long moment before lifting her gaze, incredulous. "Did you do this?"

"It's his own damn fault for having bad luck! Did he really think he was too good to attend Arlen's birthday bash? Does he have any respect for us elders? Who did he think he was?"

"It was just a birthday party. Was it really worth all this? Bella and I showed up, didn't we?"

"And who are you to talk? You're nothing but an outsider to the Griffiths. We've never acknowledged you as one of us all these years!"

Eunice's eyes blazed with fury and hatred as she faced the murderers. "Your acknowledgment isn't worth a dime! It was Bard who got down on one knee, not once but three times, to propose to me. It was my in-laws who wanted me to marry him. My place in the Griffith family was approved by the head of the family himself, my father-in-law!"

"And what of it? They're bedridden now, too busy to care about your fate," Bess said with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.

Teresa chimed in with a smirk, "Why waste words on her? Now that Bard's gone, everything he owned will naturally fall into this wench's hands. Boys, bring the pre-drafted share transfer and the deed of gift. Let's have her sign everything over to us."

Dozens of bodyguards closed in around Eunice and Arabella, blocking any chance of escape.
