The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 257

Arabella didn't say another word. She just whipped out her phone, dialed Serena's number, and put it on speaker.

She had gotten this number when she first returned to the Collins family. Serena had insisted that she keep it in front of their parents, saying that they could make plans to go to the spa or grab coffee together.

Arabella didn't want to play the part of the close sister with her, but to avoid making her parents uncomfortable, she saved the number, though she never called.

In no time at all, the call went through.

"Sis?"

A sweet voice came from the other end of the line. Serena's address of "sis" threw Brooklyn for a loop.

What's going on here?

Why was Serena calling this girl ‘sis’?

Were they actually related?

"Do you know who I am?" Arabella's voice sounded a little annoyed.

"Aren't you Arabella?" Serena was a bit puzzled. She was at home, in front of her parents, playing the part of the good girl, "Sis, weren't you supposed to be in a competition today? Anything you need my help with?"

Upon hearing that, Kenneth and Louisa both urged Serena to put Arabella on speaker, to continue asking her if she had forgotten any necessary registration documents, her ID, or if there was any urgent matter. They wanted to help as much as they could.

Serena quickly put the call on speaker, hoping to look good in front of her parents.

"I'm asking you, who is Romeo engaged to?"

This sudden question took Serena by surprise. She didn't understand why Arabella would suddenly call her to ask this question.

What's going on?

Kenneth and Louisa were also confused. Why would Arabella bring this up right before her competition?

"Hm?"
