The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 694

"How could you believe her?" Mr. Winters quickly looked at his phone, questioning Arabella in it, "You're saying that maid caught the whole thing on camera? Alright, then, let's see the footage."

"No problem." Arabella immediately sent the video to Phillip's phone, adding a friendly reminder, "Grandpa, take care of yourself."

She was worried that Phillip would get overly upset after watching the video, causing his old illness to flare up.

Phillip, "Don't worry. I'll keep it cool to deal with some ungrateful fools!"

After hanging up, Phillip opened the video. Back then, the phone's video quality was pretty crappy, but they could still make out a little boy running towards the pool, laughing and looking back to see if his friends were chasing him. Mr. Winters had just ended a phone call and exited the garden. Seeing the passing boy, he didn't hesitate a second and pushed the kid right into the pool.

The little boy was so shocked that he fell into the water before he could react.

The sight probably scared the daylights out of Elsie. Her phone even shook a bit. Then, someone rushed over and jumped into the water to save the boy.

What happened next was precisely as Arabella described.

To make people believe he was the hero, Mr. Winters even jumped into the water himself to get completely soaked. Then he came out, pretending to be all freaked out and calling over all the guests.

When the guests rushed over, all their attention was on the boy. Phillip and Shirley immediately called for a doctor.

Nobody doubted the authenticity of the event.

Arabella sent over a second video, with someone asking Elsie why she didn't speak up at the time.

Elsie said it was because she was too scared then. Plus, Phillip quickly decided that Mr. Winters was their savior, showing gratitude all over the place. She didn't dare to speak up.
