The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1425

But all the other lines were developed by her company's research and development teams, as she owned so many companies, she couldn't possibly attend to them all.

"Wow, that's damn impressive." The crowd erupted in awe, completely taken aback by how outstanding this girl was at such a young age.

Serena watched as everyone circled Arabella, with Eunice even snapping photos of her with their grandparents on her smartphone. A twinge of jealousy pinched at her heart, but she kept up her smile, "Let's take a big family picture later, shall we? I'm going to step outside to capture some shots of the night view!"

There was another large terrace at the end of the corridor, not only offering a view of Bard's eco-resort and golf course but also the city lights twinkling in the distance.

After a while, Serena returned, her eyes glued to her phone as she edited the photos, not forgetting to coax her aunt with a sweet voice, "Do you think this one looks good? Is the lighting okay in that one?"

"You've overdone it with the filters, it looks unnatural," Eunice commented honestly, "This one won't do, your eyes look too purposeful, the smile seems fake. This one isn’t flattering either. Your chin looks too sharp. This one’s not good either. You're trying too hard to look cute. All these pouting selfies, you're overdoing it. It's not attractive."

Out of the more than twenty pictures Serena took, Eunice only complimented one landscape shot capturing the eco-resort and golf course.

At that moment, the restaurant manager came out to serve the dishes personally.

One by one, the mouthwatering dishes were presented on the table, with the restaurant manager respectfully introducing each one before bowing out.

Arabella started serving the elders with the cutlery, and Serena, keen to follow suit, noticed Arabella reaching for a piece of fish to place in Belinda's bowl. She quickly intercepted with a larger piece, placing it in the bowl first.

"Grandma, this is your favorite fish. Have some more," Serena said purposefully, stealing the words right out of Arabella's mouth. As Arabella reached for the beef, Serena hurriedly did the same.

After her little display, she suggested, "Let's all raise a toast! First, to celebrate our grandparents' health, second, to welcome Aunt Eunice home safely, and third, to celebrate my sister's return to the family."
