The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 878

"If every brother gifted you three million bucks every now and then, along with the fortune from the old lady, how many houses you reckon you could buy in a year? Who needs love when you can have property?"

Serena looked down, remaining silent.

"Serena, next thing we should do." Martha whispered in Serena's ear, plotting something.

Meanwhile.

Arabella arrived at Villa Cascada, where Jack reported, "Boss, those guys from last night woke up, but they're not spilling a word. Tough nuts to crack."

"No worries, no rush. I need to visit the lab first."

Watching her leave, Jack thought, how cool she looked when she's in business mode!

Arabella got back to analyzing the powder from yesterday, feeling like she'd missed something. As she was busy, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Crystal Temple.

"Crystal?" Arabella paused, puzzled.

"Arabella dear, where are you? I'm at Reflections Villa!" Crystal's voice came over the phone. "The servants said you left early this morning. Are you out having fun? Can I join you?"

"I'm out with a friend."

"Oh, alright. When will you be back?"

"Probably not anytime soon."

"Clark is also not at home. Can you finish your work by lunchtime? We could have lunch together. I heard Summerfield has this beautiful cave restaurant that everyone's raving about."

Crystal wanted to bond with her future sister-in-law, but also because she found Arabella's cold demeanor comfortable. However, Arabella politely declined the invitation after realizing Clark's intentions, saying, "Maybe not at lunch. I'll treat you another day."
