The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 895

"Clark, I feel like there's a certain lack of trust between us."

He was speechless. Clark, feeling the pressure from his sister, could only say, "Alright, I promise you, after I crack it, I'll share the information with you. But you also must promise not to venture out alone. If we're going, we're going together."

"Deal!"

She agreed to his proposal, but he still was hesitant on believing her.

"No lying," Clark emphasized.

"Okay."

Hearing her promise, Clark's anxieties were slightly alleviated.

Their car pulled up in front of a vast ranch on the outskirts of town, with sprawling fields and a herd of cows grazing leisurely.

There stood an inconspicuous house in the middle of the ranch, where Mr. and Mrs. Earwood had been taken.

That was a safe location owned by Romeo, a place where no one would think of looking for them at that time.

As Clark got out of the car, he fumbled with his bag, causing its contents to spill out.

Arabella bent down to pick it up, only to find something odd about the necklace.

"What's wrong?" Clark asked, puzzled.

Arabella shook the necklace in her hand, "There seems to be something inside it."

"Something?" Clark took the necklace and saw that it was a simple red string necklace with a pendant, like a talisman from a temple. Mimicking Arabella, he shook it and indeed heard a faint sound from within.

There really was something inside!

As they approached the house, Taylor, who had been anxiously waiting at the door, saw their safe return and couldn't contain her relief and guilt.

"I'm so glad you're okay."
