The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 505

"Aren't you supposed to be going out with your friends tonight?" Louisa shot back.

Serena hadn't expected her mom to ask about her plans last night, so when she said she was going out with friends, her mom didn't take her to the charity gala.

Would her mom only take Arabella to the gala in the future?

"Friend gatherings are just small potatoes. But a charity gala is such a big event that it might be Ms. Bella's first time, right? It would be nice to have Serena accompany her," Martha suggested warmly.

Louisa took a few sips of coffee and said coldly, "I'm enough company for Bella. Besides, Bella's never a stranger to any situation! When it comes to experience, Bella's got Serena beat by a long shot!"

That sentence left Martha and Serena speechless.

Louisa, grinning, looked back at Arabella and said, "You go upstairs and rest. I'll have Edith call you when dinner's ready."

"Okay."

After Arabella went upstairs, she received a phone call.

【Boss, you asked me to investigate the fire at Mercy Hospital on September 10th, eighteen years ago. The more I look into it, the fishier it seems.】

"What's fishy?" Arabella walked onto the balcony, her expression cold.

【I found out that the janitor, Yvonne, who adopted Yolanda, heard an explosion while cleaning up water that night. At first, the explosion was very loud, and she was too scared to approach. It was only when she wanted to rescue people that she noticed several unlicensed black sedans driving in the opposite direction.】

【Yvonne was too busy rescuing people to pay much attention, so she didn't see what kind of car they were driving or what they looked like. So I checked with her colleagues at the time and asked them about the situation that day, and they all said the same thing as Yvonne.】

【But one janitor said that after the explosion that night, they rescued many people from the health center. It was raining heavily, and while she was resting, she suddenly saw one of the black sedans that had left earlier returning.】

【In that era, in that place, very few people owned sedans. The car was the same as the black cars that had left earlier, with four rings on the front.】

"Audi?"

In that era, very few people could afford an Audi, let alone in a place like Wye.

【I showed her photos of cars from that era, and she said the car she saw was indeed an Audi, but their car didn't have a license plate, so it's hard to investigate.】

【That night, three men got out of the black sedan that returned. They looked very fierce and kept searching among the rescued crowd for someone. They left when they didn't find them.】

【I checked the car model and compared it with the Audis that had appeared in Wye that year. My eyes were about to go blind from all the investigating before I found a tiny clue!】

Arabella seemed used to his way of talking: "Keep going."

"One of the owners of the Audis died on September 12th, eighteen years ago! It was said to be a drunk driving accident! If he hadn't had an accident that night, he was supposed to leave the country the next morning."

"What was his job?"

"He was initially jobless, then started driving people around like a cab driver."

"He drove an Audi to pick up passengers?" Arabella couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Who would believe that?
