The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1453

A few disfigured folks never expected the stir they caused to blow up like this. Not only did Romeo show up, but Bard's wife made an appearance too.

Their eyes began to dart about, avoiding direct contact.

"Let's all head over to the the Ar-Bl-Clear Group's staff cafeteria, shall we?" Arabella suggested.

The place was spacious and had an artsy vibe, capable of accommodating a large crowd at once.

All the journalists, cameraman Hans, and the onlookers were invited over to sample the delicious fare on the house.

People were surprised at how well a skincare company treated its employees. A different main course every day for half a month, and an endless array of tasty snacks, afternoon pastries, and fancy coffees.

This wasn't a cafeteria. It was a foodie's paradise!

The police had already started their investigations in shifts. The few remaining officers stayed because Arabella had some questions for the disfigured individuals.

"Try some of our group's coffee and pastries, they're just as good as anything you'll find out there." Catharina, personally brought refreshments to the disfigured group, naturally taking a seat next to them. "In the Ar-Bl-Clear Group, we wear our hearts on our sleeves for both our employees and our customers. I don't know why you smeared our company, but now that the police are involved, I'd advise you to come clean. Don't ruin your futures or worry your families."

The disfigured individuals stared at the pastries in front of them, silent.

Arabella cut right to the chase, "Is it because of the Ar-Bl-Clear Group that your faces look like this?"

All the disfigured people remained silent, avoiding Arabella's gaze.

Had they known her backing was so strong, no amount of money would have enticed them.

Crossing Eunice in Dawnstar was tantamount to crossing Bard. There would be severe consequences.
