The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 781

Cherry was severely reprimanded by her mother, and had to apologize sincerely, swallowing her pride.

"Last time at the club, I saw with my own eyes that your daughter picking a fight with my daughter-in-law, and then two days later, here she is again, under my nose, picking on my daughter-in-law. Are the McMillians just easy targets? Even a kid can mess with us?"

Cynthia hadn't expected the club incident to come up and then gave her daughter a harsh slap on the shoulder, "Why are you always causing trouble?"

"I'm truly sorry, Jennifer. I've failed in disciplining my daughter," Cynthia bowed in apology, turning to Arabella, bending a full 90 degrees and sincerely said, "I'm really sorry. I haven't raised Cherry properly, but I promise you we'll work on it. It won't happen again."

"Mrs. Evert, you're not the one who did wrong. There's no need for you to apologize on behalf of her," Arabella's voice was cold and clear, without any hint of taking advantage of the McMillian's influence.

Cynthia noticed that Arabella's character matched Jennifer's well as if she was born into the McMillian family.

They truly seemed like mother and daughter.

"You're kind and understanding, it's all Cherry's fault. She's been spoiled rotten by us."

As Cynthia said that, she turned to her daughter and curiously asked her, "What happened to the cake earlier?"

Cherry didn’t expect her mother to ask that and was at a loss for words.

Cynthia's tone turned fiercer, "If the CCTV can't find it, I have my ways. Better tell the truth, or I'll skin you alive!"

Cherry was frightened and finally mumbled with her head lowered, "I knocked it over myself."

Cynthia was furious and asked, "With what? How did you do it?"

"I was angry about the country club incident, so when I saw her passing by, I knocked the cupcake over with my elbow."
