The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 871

Arabella stared into her eyes, her tone icy and mocking, "Your beloved Martha has crossed the line more than once. I still have the video from last time. Should I have her kicked out too?"

Serena's face turned ashen, her mind flashing back to the time when Martha purposely unscrewed the lid of the olive oil bottle, intending to cause Arabella to slip, only for Arabella to call up the security footage from Overwatch.

Back then, Arabella had declared that if she ever caught them playing underhanded tricks behind her back, she would hand over the footage to the police, tell their parents, or upload it online.

Arabella had also stated: If your people try to harm me, do you really think you can escape unscathed? Will our parents believe you or me?

Edith, who was standing nearby, finally understood why Ms. Bella had chosen to hold onto the evidence rather than handing it over to the lady.

Ms. Bella had mentioned then that this evidence could merely prove Martha's malicious intentions. If Martha insisted that it was all her idea, and Serena had nothing to do with it. Then Serena started using her lifelong bond with their parents to leverage her innocence, or crying in front of the elderly folks at home, or even in front of her brothers.

Then, the most that would happen was a servant getting fired!

Serena, for the most part, would not be shown the door!

At most, she'd face mild punishment.

But this piece of evidence, in Ms. Bella's hands, was like a trump card, serving as a warning to them. They would surely make mistakes if they got desperate and tried to pressure Ms. Bella into deleting the footage. And when the mistakes got too big, it would be more than just a case of getting kicked out.

Looking back now, Edith couldn't help but admire Ms. Bella's calm and foresight!
