The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 277

Ken figured he'd better go; maybe they really were interested in his daughter.

Looking at her again, his daughter was actually really pretty, if only he hadn't hit her so hard earlier and her face wasn't all swollen.

Half an hour later.

The McMillan family's car pulled up in front of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts.

Mrs. Frost was kind of freaked out and clutched her husband's clothes tightly. "This place looks deserted. Is this where we're meeting? I've got a bad feeling about this."

"What do you know?" Ken snapped at her, shrugging off her hand, "Stop wrinkling my clothes; I need to look sharp when we meet Mr. McMillan!"

"Let's just go back."

"You women are just too emotional!" Ken looked ahead and said, "Sometimes men need a little thrill! You wouldn't understand!"

Myra couldn't wait to get out of the car.

On the way, she had purposely put on some youthful makeup.

Feeling confident, she was sure she could attract Mr. McMillan. Just before entering the warehouse, she even purposely showed off a little shoulder.

Ken gave his wife a look, as if to say, Even their daughter was better at this than her!

Once inside the warehouse, they found the place empty except for Romeo sitting on a chair with Carl standing beside him.

The light coming in through the window made the place feel a bit eerie.

"Mr. McMillan, you have to help me." Myra knelt before Romeo, crying her heart out: "I've done some terrible things, and it's affected my family. I'll do anything you ask if you'll help me!"

"Oh?" The corner of Romeo's mouth curled into a cold smirk. "Anything?"
