The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1353

Teresa's eyes popped, "Darren, do you even know what that word means?"

Just moments ago, Eunice and Arabella had teamed up and knocked down over twenty bodyguards.

So much for being helpless.

"Darren, you didn't see it. She just flew into action, like one kick per person."

Before Teresa could finish, Eunice retorted with a pout, "Dad, you heard them. When could I ever fly, let alone kick them like that? When someone wants to accuse you, they’ll find any excuse."

Teresa was floored by Eunice's acting skills.

"Everyone shut it! I'm still here. Do you think you can frame her?” Darren barked, then his gaze softened as he turned to his daughter-in-law, "Don't worry, sweetheart. Daddy's here, and I won't let anyone bully you!"

Eunice nodded meekly, but when she looked back at Teresa and Bess, her face broke into a triumphant smirk, as if to say: What can you do about it?

Teresa and Bess were fuming, "Darren."

"Zip it. We'll settle your scores tomorrow! It's late. Eunice, let's head home!"

Upon hearing this, Eunice quickly scuttled over and took Arabella by the hand, "Dad, did Bard ever mention Bella to you?"

Darren suddenly realized he had let his anger get the better of him, almost forgetting his granddaughter!

"Bella, is that you?" Darren's voice quivered with excitement as he studied Arabella, "You look so much like her."

She was the spitting image of his daughter Louisa!

Only, the girl before him was even more beautiful than his daughter in her younger days, with an even more striking presence.

"My dear, you've had it tough out there." Darren grasped Arabella's hand, his voice choked with emotion, his hands trembling.
