The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 676

Before Arabella could even respond, Serena chimed in, "If you're bothered by me being the adopted daughter, I can clear that up in front of our classmates. Make it crystal clear that you're the real Collins family princess and I'm just a charity case. I won't let my vanity hurt you anymore."

Arabella stayed silent.

"Sis, can you give me one last chance? Just one more, okay?" Serena pleaded, tugging at Arabella's sleeve. "Can we be good sisters again and forget all the past unpleasantness?"

Arabella noticed that this time Serena's eyes weren't filled with the usual scheming and cunning. Instead, they were filled with sincerity and pleading. She was probably scared of losing everything she had, hence her desperation.

"Sis, I'm begging you!" Serena tried to kneel, but Arabella stopped her with a foot, saying coldly, "Some issues can't be settled by getting on your knees."

"What do you want me to do then?" Serena asked earnestly. "Bring you breakfast every day? Lunch? Hang out with you after school, save you a seat in the cafeteria? Help you pick up packages? Give you massages?"

No need to go overboard.

"Sis, you name it. Anything you want me to do, I promise I'll do it!" Serena seemed to have made a big decision.

"We'll see," Arabella replied noncommittally, and she left early with Myrna.

Serena was left alone, unsure of what Arabella's vague response meant. Was she forgiven? Not forgiven? Or intended to watch her actions?
