The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 40

Serena twigged it right away. If there was no comparison, no one would know how bad Arabella was and how great she was!

Martha was right. Let this country bumpkin have a taste of reality. She needed to know that Phillip was always the leader, and would never respect such narrow-minded people!

"Don't bother me for lunch."

Arabella ordered the servant who was working on her way upstairs, locked herself in her room, and hit the hay!

She was really tired because she stayed up all night writing, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on her pillow. When Kenneth and Louisa woke up and heard their darling daughter was skipping lunch, they immediately summoned the chef, "Did breakfast not sit well with Bella?"

Daniel felt wronged, "Ms. Bennett left because of what Serena said, not because of the breakfast…"

“Serena?” Kenneth and Louisa were taken aback, then hastily asked, “What did Serena say?”

“Serena didn’t really say anything, just wanted Ms. Bennett to take her to see Phillip, but Ms. Bennett didn’t agree…”

Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances and immediately said, “Go fetch Serena.”

When Serena was summoned, she didn't expect Arabella would tattle to her parents over such a small matter. She was already a grown woman but acted like a child refusing to eat. Serena was instantly ticked off!

But she tried to put on a pitiful face on the outside, pretending to be wronged.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t say anything excessive to my sister. I just asked her if she could take me with her…Phillip missed me and has been texting me to visit him. I couldn’t go because of exams…”

Serena saw their dubious faces and immediately took out her phone to show the chat history.

“I also had free time only today, so I thought we could go together…”

Louisa didn’t expect the truth to be this. It seemed they read too much into it. How could Serena compete with Bella for her fiancé?!

They made a mistake!
