The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 19

"I used to think that way too," Serena said with a smile, "but Summerfield College is not far from home. If I finish school early every day, I can still come back home and spend time with you all. I prefer this kind of life."

As she spoke, she deliberately hooked her arm around Kenneth's, playfully smiling.

"We've never had to worry about your studies since you were little," Kenneth said kindly.

"What about you, Bella?" Serena held Kenneth's arm and sweetly looked at Arabella across the table. "You must have done well in school, right? I forgot to ask, where did you go to school before?"

"Aren't you feeling hot?" Arabella elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin and suddenly asked.

Serena was leaning half of her body against Kenneth, which may not have been a problem before, but now it seemed a little inappropriate in front of others.

Kenneth smoothly withdrew his arm, smiling as he said, "Indeed, it's a bit warm. I'll lower the air conditioning."

"Yes."

Serena felt a bit embarrassed, but quickly resumed a nonchalant demeanor, smiling as she said, "Bella, you haven't answered my previous question. How were your grades in the past?"

"Okay."

"And what are your expectations for this exam?"

Arabella ate the delicate pastries on her plate nonchalantly, "Hard to say."

"Bella, do you have any favorite universities? Dad can talk to the people in charge over there..."

Arabella took a sip of coffee and spoke frankly, "I'm not interested in going to university."

Upon hearing this, Serena couldn't help but think that Arabella must be a poor student. She had said all those things about not being interested, but it was probably just an excuse because she didn't want to admit she had poor grades.

"Hahaha! I didn't like going to school back then either. I even got caught skipping class once by your grandpa..." Kenneth recalled the past, chattering on, suddenly remembering that his precious daughter had said her hobbies were all about making money!

An idea struck him, "So, Bella, what do you want to do in the future? Do you have any interests in specific industries? If you want to be a celebrity, I can help you secure resources!"

These days, there were many young girls aspiring to be internet celebrities or actresses, right?

If his daughter had such a dream, he would definitely support her all the way!

Arabella was confused.

Serena was shocked!

"I don't want to be a celebrity," Arabella candidly replied.

"So what do you want to do? Any industries you're interested in?"

"Fashion design, maybe."

"Fashion design, that's great!" Kenneth echoed with enthusiasm, "How about this, since it's vacation now, I happen to own a small clothing company, it's close to home, you can go check it out."

Arabella was speechless.

"If you find that being a boss is more fun than going to school, then you don't need to go to university! We have plenty of businesses, we don't need any degrees! Right?"

Arabella was surprised by her father's open-mindedness, while Serena's hand under the table was slowly clenched into a fist.

Is Dad actually giving Arabella a company to mess around?

Although the clothing industry is the slowest-growing among all the industries operated by the Collins family, and it only started developing half a year ago.

But it's still a company!

Arabella just returned to this family for a day, and she can inherit the family business?

"If you don't want to make your own living, mom and dad can transfer money to you every day..."

Arabella's speechless. Is this a thing?

The servants around them were green with envy. This is the difference!

The difference between people is just too great!
