The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 237

While keeping the company running like a well-oiled machine, she still finds time to indulge in her hobbies and participate in contests.

"Bella's going to a design competition." Kenneth was taken aback.

"I heard her mention it. I didn't realize she could manage a company and do design too." Louisa was proud and happy for her daughter, but she was also worried about her. She was so young, yet carrying such heavy responsibilities.

She needed to show Bella more support.

She should find time to ask Bella if she was happy with her current job. If not, she should let go and enjoy life. That's what mattered most.

Design competition?

Hans Collins suddenly remembered Julian's words about being invited to be a judge in a design competition.

But he was too busy and turned it down.

"By the way, have your brothers been in touch with you recently?" Louisa took a sip of her wine and continued, "Have they mentioned when they're coming back? It's been several days, and no one has called me!"

"No." Hans Collins didn't communicate much with his brothers. They occasionally sent messages, especially the youngest one, who was a chatterbox. But he rarely replied, being too busy with work most of the time.

He had been very busy abroad in the past two years, trying to expand the group and break into foreign markets. Some places were unfriendly to foreigners, causing him lots of difficulties. Some other places had powerful influences, making them hard to handle.

Thankfully, through his efforts, the group had grown more than twice its size since Kenneth handed it over to him.

Besides work, he rested.

His family knew his routines, so they didn't find it strange if he didn't respond to their messages.

"I heard our R&D department has made a new breakthrough, and many foreign powers are interested. Be careful."
