The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 558

"You should take good care of him; all his hair has turned white."

This wouldn't have happened if he wasn't overwhelmed with grief.

Romeo, knowing the pain of losing a loved one, gently touched Arabella's head and said, "You should take good care of him now."

"I'll do my best."

The day after the funeral, Arabella visited the place where her grandmother used to live.

The garden was neglected; most of the plants were withered, and the cobblestone path was covered with fallen leaves and wilted flowers. It was as if everything had lost its vitality after her grandmother's departure.

Arabella had the whole villa cleaned up, then she went to her grandmother's room. She twisted the wall lamp, and the whole wardrobe moved aside, revealing a small hidden room.

This room contained all of her grandmother's treasured belongings. Some were valuable items that Arabella had given her; some were her own property and other stuff; and some were her lifetime collections.

These were all gifts left for Arabella.

There was also a safe in the corner. Arabella entered the password, and after successful verification, she took out the contents.

It was a ring that her grandmother intended to give to Romeo, but now her grandmother was no longer with them.

It took Arabella a long time to open her backpack and pack everything in. These were things her grandmother had protected with her life; she definitely couldn't leave them for Attlee and his gang.

In the hidden room, Arabella also found a big box. Inside were all the doodles she had drawn from childhood until now and letters she had written to her grandmother.

The letters mentioned that when she grew up, she would take her grandmother around the world to give her a better life.

Upon seeing these, Arabella felt a lump in her throat. She didn't expect her grandmother to treasure these naive promises, storing them in the hidden room.

In her grandmother's heart, her granddaughter must be more important than any treasure, right?

With this thought, Arabella remembered the kind old woman and their past life together.

Finally, she slung the backpack over her shoulder, picked up the box, and after restoring the wardrobe to its original position, she went downstairs and handed the box to her servant.

"Take it to Villa Cascada, to my bedroom."

"Did Grace leave you so many valuable things?" Arabella's servant, wide-eyed and incredulous, took the box and couldn't help but lift the lid to peek inside. "What's this? Drawings by kindergarten kids?"

There were many other things in the box, including handmade items she had given her grandmother when she was a child and small gifts she had made herself. All were preserved intact in the box.

"Yes." Arabella didn't say much but looked nostalgically at everything in the villa and said, "Remember to change the locks after you finish cleaning."

She absolutely couldn't let Yolanda have the chance to come in.

"Notify the property management about Yolanda."

She absolutely couldn't let her take advantage of the situation!

"Attlee, that fool, must have been here before. There are traces everywhere of him rummaging through things." Arabella's servant also couldn't understand; they never thought there could be such a person in the world.

Arabella's eyes grew cold. Attlee would never know that there was a secret room behind her grandmother's wardrobe.

That's why they couldn't find any valuables here before.

"Did your grandmother also leave this villa to you?"
