The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 565

The dormitory manager's eyes popped out when she saw Arabella. She instantly remembered the principal's instructions. He'd said a stunningly beautiful girl would be reporting today; one look at her would leave she gobsmacked. No doubt, this was her!

Arabella was slowly approaching, not even in the dormitory building yet, and the manager was already rushing out to meet her.

"Are you President Barton's granddaughter?" The manager blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth, "Oops, my bad, I wasn't supposed to spill. Barton wanted it kept hush-hush. Uh, you're Arabella Collins, right?"

"Hi."

"Hi, please come in. Are these two your parents? Come in too! And you brought bodyguards? Are they helping with the luggage?"

Arabella knew men weren't allowed in the girls' dormitory, so she told her driver, "Leave the luggage here."

"No, no, let them help you with it. You're so petite, how could you lug these heavy things around?"

The dorm manager was all smiles. She put her arm around Arabella's shoulder and said warmly, "Don't worry about a thing; I've got your back during your college life! But there's one thing, mate. The guys' dorm manager gets a pay raise every three years. I've been here for six."

Arabella got the hint and nodded, saying, "I'll mention it to my grandfather."

"Great, that's fantastic. You're such a good kid. Now go on up and show your parents around the dorm!" The dorm manager was positively beaming now.

Overhearing their conversation, Kenneth and Louisa were completely bamboozled. What the heck was going on??

Arabella was President Barton's granddaughter?

Since when?

Could it be that Barton had also taken Arabella as his granddaughter, just like Alberto?

Although they knew Barton, they didn't have much interaction with him. Their fathers had been the ones who were close.

If they wanted Barton to take extra care of Arabella at school, they would have to request it in their fathers' names.

But they hadn't even made the call yet when they heard the news.

"Arabella, do you know President Barton?" Louisa asked as soon as they got in the elevator.
