The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 391

"This gal only took up a job at our school out of respect for me. All said and done, she has only taught a couple of classes to the students. But she's a busy bee and I can understand that."

As to why she chose Westerly College, well, Grandpa Beck taught her so much about medicine that she had surpassed her teacher. She desired to give back, and Grandpa Beck wished to study some drugs. Working with her, he could make faster progress.

The old professor finally understood why the best students did not choose their school. It turned out that the student was already a mysterious special professor with a higher rank than him at Summerfield College. He even invited her personally to study here. What an insult to the face.

Arabella closed the news app and was about to take a breather when her phone buzzed again.

This time, it was a call from Grandpa Phillip.

"Oh, Bella, you are just too wonderful! Top scores in so many subjects! I'm so proud! I've got to reward you! Anything you fancy?"

Phillip's voice was full of cheer and excitement.

"Nothing; studying is my duty. There is no need for a reward,” Arabella said with a gentle smile.

"Come on, my dear, I must reward you! If you have no particular preferences, then I'll choose for you!"

"Grandpa, you really don't need to bother."

"Bother? Rewarding you can't be deemed as a bother! The McMillian family's money is your money! Don't feel compelled."

Arabella didn't know what to say.

"I'll give it some thought," said Phillip, then suddenly asked, "Has Romeo given you any gifts?"

Arabella answered truthfully, "No."
