The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 386

Arabella looked at the shoes and said, "Not too shabby."

"So, I've fulfilled the bet." Martha stood up, ready to leave.

"Don't forget, and you're on cleaning duty today! Thanks to Martha, we all get a day off!" Edith said with a chuckle, quickly adding, "We appreciate it, Martha!"

The other servants joined in, laughing and thanking her, "We appreciate it, Martha."

Martha swallowed her anger and responded with a smile, "Not a big deal. I'm fine with the outcome of the bet."

Suddenly, a servant rushed in, "There's a swarm of reporters outside. They heard our girl came in first, and they all want to interview Ms. Bella!"

"What did you tell them?" Kenneth asked anxiously.

"Nothing. I didn't say a word. I just ran in to report."

"Those reporters are quick. How did they find us so fast?" Louisa asked, gazing at Arabella, "Bella, do you want to talk to them?"

Serena and Martha looked nervously at Arabella, worried she might shine in front of the reporters or flaunt her noble status.

But Arabella simply stood up and said, "I'm not up for a show. Got a lot to do. Heading upstairs now."

"Alright, I'll deal with them." Louisa watched her go, reminding her, "Take a break when you can, and stop studying, okay?"

Arabella didn’t say a word..

Even if they put a book in front of her, she wouldn't glance at it.
