The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 477

This was what they really cared about!

"If the company goes under, you guys totally have it coming," Grace said angrily.

Attlee took a couple of steps forward and knelt, tightly holding his mother's hand. "Mom, it's not just about the company. A few days ago, Yoli said some not-so-nice things, and Bella might've misunderstood. She's even talking about suing Yoli. She's not just demanding compensation but also a public apology from Yoli. Yoli might even end up in jail."

This meant that Bella was totally not backing down and was determined to make Yoli pay!

"Well, Yoli must have said something really out of line to get Bella to react this way." Grace didn't ask for details but instead said, "Bella did the right thing!"

"Mom? You just sided with Bella without even asking? Isn't Yoli your own granddaughter? How can you let a stranger bully your own flesh and blood?"

Olga got so worked up that she almost blew her cool. If Attlee hadn't shot her a look, she would've kept going.

"Mom, Yoli really messed up this time," Attlee picked up, with a shameful look on his face. "I made Yoli apologize to her privately. Olga and Yoli both knelt before Bella. I tried to smooth things over, but Bella's totally lost faith in us."

Seeing that Grace still ignored him, Attlee took another step forward. "Mom, would you call her over for us? We'll apologize to her again, even kneel if we have to!"

Olga clenched her fists. Apologize to Bella again, on their knees? They'd totally lose face! Attlee's suggestion was absolutely boneheaded.

"Are you guys really sorry when you apologize on your knees?"

Before they could answer, Grace sneered and said sarcastically, "You guys are just trying to save your own skins. You can't stand the thought of losing your current status. Do you really think that a half-hearted apology would make Bella go all in for you like before?"
