The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 3

The driver accidentally got his suit dirty while checking the car. When he saw the folks from the Murphy family coming out of the mansion, he hurriedly pulled out a few gift boxes from the trunk.

These were specifically instructed by the mister to be handed to the Murphys. Unfortunately, a previous tailgating incident resulted in a few of the gift boxes getting squashed, making them look rather unappealing.-

"I reckon you're Mr. Murphy?" The driver approached Attlee and offered the boxes politely, "These are a token from the young lady’s parents. They insist you accept them."

"You're too kind..." Attlee hastily declined. "Bella has been great with us over the years, these gifts..."

"We don't need your gifts! Just take her home, her family is waiting for her!" Olga interrupted them and without giving Aiden a second glance, she walked back into the house.

She thought to herself, “With such shabby gift boxes, there can't be anything good inside. She certainly doesn't want other people's trash.”

Yolanda suppressed a sarcastic smile, following Olga. Her face was filled with an air of superiority as if she had just won a war. She never realized that Arabella's biological family was in such a poor state, but she was secretly pleased.

The Murphys' maids looked at them with scorn, contempt, or pity, and they all went back inside. Only Attlee remained standing there, somewhat embarrassed, "Well, have a safe journey... I won't accept these gifts. Let's just say I've sent them back to your masters. Consider it a small token from me..."

"But..." The driver was at a loss. The mister had specifically told him to make sure the Murphys accepted the gifts. But what Attlee meant was that Arabella was no longer part of the Murphy family. If she went to her biological parents' house, she would have nothing to do with the Murphys.

"Mr. Murphy, please accept these gifts. Mr. Murphy?"

The driver initially wanted to say that the boxes contained deeds to several villas, keys to several shops, a bank card loaded with a billion dollars, and rare medicinal herbs that you couldn’t buy anywhere. But as he watched Attlee walk into the house, the driver paused, puzzled. It seemed like none of them actually liked Ms. Bennett. Was it all in his head?

Arabella casually fixed the car door back in place, "Let's go."

Watching her get into the car, Aiden was taken aback. Did Ms. Bennett just fix that door by herself? How did she do that?

On the road, Arabella casually looked out the window, her pretty face giving off a pleasing aura.

The driver occasionally glanced at her through the rear-view mirror, the more he looked, the more she reminded him of madam when she was young. Every move she made radiated beauty.

"Aren't we going to Willow Creek?" Arabella suddenly asked, her gaze falling on the driver.

"Willow Creek?" The driver snapped back to reality, "Oh... that's the mister's hometown. Your home is in Summerfield."

Summerfield, the most economically developed city in the country.

The city was divided into four districts: East, West, South, and North, with the North being the least developed.

There were four counties in the North: Misty Hollow, Lavender Hill, Golden Fields, and Seraphim Haven, with Seraphim being the least developed.

Below Seraphim Haven were four towns: Sapphire City, Emerald City, Golden City, and Tranquil City.

Attlee was the richest man in Tranquil City. After accumulating his wealth over a long time, Attlee finally moved from a third-tier city to Summerfield this year. He became the richest man in Tranquil City, the least developed place in Summerfield.

Compared to wealthier areas, his wealth might have seemed insignificant, but compared to other poorer areas, he was pretty wealthy.

His personal wealth had exceeded ten million dollars, which was why his wife Olga was so arrogant and looked down on others.

After Yolanda walked into the room, she unintentionally glanced out the window. What she saw left her in complete shock. "Mom, their car..."
