The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1416

Eunice spilled the beans with a gleam in her eye, "Your darling granddaughter, she's none other than the world-renowned piano virtuoso—Melody."

Belinda and Darren were thunderstruck, frozen in awe before a cascade of compliments tumbled out.

"I simply adore Melody's piano pieces," Belinda gushed towards the end, her excitement palpable. "Especially when she releases a new track. I'd listen at home, in the car, first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. I can't get enough, I really can't!"

"Remember your grandma's birthday? I was dying to have Melody play at our house, cost no object, just to see her perform live for her. But Melody was nowhere to be found. The folks at the Piano Association said they couldn't reach her. And now, my precious granddaughter is Melody herself!"

Darren was overwhelmed with surprise and joy. If only they had found Melody sooner, perhaps their reunion with their treasured granddaughter could have happened earlier.

"We must celebrate! We've got a miracle doctor in the family, and a piano maestro to boot. Darling, we need to think of something special to reward Bella with." Belinda, in her exuberant joy, was already brainstorming ideas.

Arabella was about to politely decline when Eunice elbowed her, signaling not to miss this golden opportunity. They had to let Serena hear straight from her grandparents what kind of reward a piano maestro deserves. It would keep Serena from getting too cocky about her own piano first prize!

Arabella caught onto her aunt's "little scheme" and couldn't help but smile.

Though Eunice meant no harm, her words felt like a deep insult to Serena.

"At that auction the other day, didn't I win that tanzanite? Let's give it to Bella as a reward!"

When Belinda dropped this bombshell, Serena's face went pale.

Tanzanite was a thousand times rarer than diamonds, and the piece Belinda had won was of the rarest tanzanite blue!
